Patent number: 6730056Abstract: An eye implant for treating glaucoma includes a main conduit and a plurality of anchor members formed from a first resilient material. The anchor members are formed such that they are biased to a relaxed condition in a non-aligned position relative to the conduit. To facilitate insertion of the implant into the eye in a minimally invasive surgical procedure, the anchor members are secured together in an aligned condition relative to the conduit with a bonding material. A cutting surface or element is also applied to the anchor members to allow the implant to be inserted directly through the wall of the sclera. The cutting surface is formed of a second material different from the first material. The second material is adapted to dissolve or melt after the implant has been inserted into the eye.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2000Date of Patent: May 4, 2004Assignee: Motorola, Inc.Inventors: Sanjar Ghaem, Iwona Turlik, Rudyard Istvan

Patent number: 6649852Abstract: The organic MEMS according to the present invention comprises a polymeric substrate comprising a substrate surface including a first region and a second region. A polymer coating is applied to the first region to provide a coating surface that is spaced apart from the substrate surface. A terminal is disposed on the second region.

Patent number: 6533729Abstract: A blood pressure sensor includes a source of photo-radiation, such as an array of laser diodes. The sensor also includes a two-dimensional, flexible reflective surface. The reflective surface is nominally positioned relative to the radiation source such that the radiation travels in a direction normal to the reflective surface. The reflective surface is placed adjacent to the location on the patient where the blood pressure data is to be acquired. Radiation from the source is reflected off of the reflective surface onto a two-dimensional array of photo-detectors. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure fluctuations in the patient are translated into deflections of the patient's skin. These deflections cause corresponding deflections in the two dimensional reflective surface. The associated movement of said flexible reflective surface due to blood pulsation causes scattering patterns from said reflective surface to be detected by the two dimensional array of photo-detectors.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2000Date of Patent: March 18, 2003Assignee: Motorola Inc.Inventors: Mohammad Khair, Salvador Lopez, Richard Ng, Sanjar Ghaem, William Olson

Patent number: 6475153Abstract: An optical sensor generates blood pressure data by obtaining two dimensional images of the surface of the patient's body, such as in the vicinity of the radial artery in the wrist area. Blood flow in the patient causes light to be reflected off a flexible reflective surface applied against the patient with a hold down pressure, and the scattering of light is sensed with a two-dimensional array of photo-detectors. The output of the photo-detectors during systolic and diastolic events is calibrated against known blood pressure measurements taken with a conventional air-cuff sphygmomanometer. Linear calibration relationships between output signal and blood pressure are obtained during calibration for some set of the photo-detectors. When blood pressure data is obtained from the patient, the linear calibration relationship between output signals and blood pressure is applied to the output signals from the set of photo-detectors, resulting in blood pressure data.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 2000Date of Patent: November 5, 2002Assignee: Motorola Inc.Inventors: Mohammad Khair, Salvador Lopez, Richard Ng, Sanjar Ghaem, William Olson
