  • Measurement and Correction of High-Order Optical Aberrations for an Eye Wearing a Contact Lens
    Publication number: 20200237215
    Abstract: Devices and methods for measuring high order aberrations from an eye are described. A method includes obtaining information indicating one or more aberrations of an eye, and obtaining information indicating one or more of a visual axis of the eye, a center of a pupil of the eye, and a comeal vertex of the eye. The information from the optical device is used to modify a design of a contact lens so that a combination of the eye and the modified contact lens has reduced high order aberrations. In some cases, information indicating the orientation of the contact lens positioned on the eye is also used. The optical device may include an aberrometer; a first light source for providing first light toward an eye; a lens assembly for collecting light from the eye; and a first image sensor for receiving light that has been transmitted through the lens assembly.

  • FILTER CARTRIDGES; AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLIES; HOUSINGS; FEATURES; COMPONENTS; AND, METHODS
    Publication number: 20200171419
    Abstract: Air cleaner assemblies, components, and features are described. The features can be used to provide that the air cleaner assembly cannot be fully closed, even if a cartridge is nested therein, and appears to be sealed, unless that cartridge is a proper one for the system of concern. The effect is to prevent an inappropriate cartridge, that does not properly seal, from being inadvertently installed in the assembly.

  • Method for gasifying feedstock with high yield production of biochar
    Patent number: 10662386
    Abstract: A downdraft gasifier and method of gasification with high yield biochar that utilizes a plurality of high throughput, vertically positioned tubes to create a pyrolysis zone, an oxidation zone beneath the pyrolysis zone and a reduction zone beneath the oxidation zone. A rotating and vertically adjustable rotating grate is located beneath the reduction zone of the gasifier. In addition, a drying zone is located above the pyrolysis zone so the heat of the gasifier can be used to dry feedstock before it enters the gasifier. By optimizing the grate height and rpm, feedstock retention time in the drying zone, the drying zone temperature and feedstock moisture content, the result is gasification of biomass with a high yield and continuous biochar production.

  • LACROSSE HEAD HAVING A PINCHED BALL CONTAINMENT AREA
    Publication number: 20200155910
    Abstract: Embodiments provide a lacrosse head with a pinched ball containment area. The head includes a juncture, a stop member adjoining the juncture, first and second sidewalls extending from the stop member in a forward direction, and a transverse wall connecting the first and second sidewalls opposite to the stop member. The adjoining transverse wall and first sidewall may form a first shoulder portion and the adjoining transverse wall and second sidewall may form a second shoulder portion, with the first and second shoulder portions defining an inside widest point perpendicularly across the bisecting line. Within a certain distance from the widest point in a rearward direction, the first sidewall and the second sidewall define a ball containment width that places the frame of the lacrosse head closer to a ball than an opposing lacrosse head during a draw.

  • FRAMES FOR GEOMETRIC SOLIDS AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20200124074
    Abstract: Systems and methods that can be used to improve or treat a fluid (e.g., water) that can be subsequently fed to a living system (e.g., plant) to increase its vitality. Contemplated systems comprise a frame that holds crystals. The frame comprises outer arms and inner arms that hold crystals in a specific orientation. For example, the outer arms and the inner arms can form a tetrahelix that thereby hold the crystals in a tetrahelical orientation across the length of the frame. Contemplated systems can be installed in new or existing water systems to thereby improve or treat the water before it is subsequently fed to a living system (e.g., plant).
