Abstract: Provided herein are isolated populations of multipotent stem cells capable of differentiating into trabecular meshwork (TM) cells, methods of obtaining an isolated population of TM cells, and isolated populations of TM cells obtained therefrom. Compositions, kits, and devices comprising the isolated populations of multipotent stem cells or TM cells are also provided herein. Further provided are methods of using the compositions, kits, and devices for decreasing intraocular pressure in an eye, increasing cell density in a trabecular meshwork of an eye, increasing outflow of aqueous humor from an eye, or treating or preventing a medical condition in a subject.

Abstract: A fully automated optic nerve head assessment system, based on spectral domain optical coherence tomography, provides essential disc parameters for clinical analysis, early detection, and monitoring of progression.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for efficiently counting detected events via a multiplicative group counter. An equivalent class polynomial congruent with a first of a plurality of elements comprising a multiplicative group is represented as a series of binary values. The represented polynomial is subjected to a state transition function as each event is detected, such that the series of binary values is altered to represent a new equivalent class polynomial congruent with a second of the plurality of elements of a multiplicative group. The series of binary values is decoded to determine a number of detected events recorded by the counter.

Abstract: A sports wheel chair has elongated side frame members of hollow high strength tubing extending along the two sides of the chair to provide rear wheel and seat support and extending accurately downwardly to provide front wheel supports. The elongation provides a degree of flexibility that permits front end collisions without damage and permits flexure to maintain contact of all four wheels with uneven terrain. Elongation of the frame increases stability and concentrates weight on the rear wheels for greater maneuverability. The main wheels are cambered out from top to bottom to protect the hands and provide a wider wheel base. All of the frame members are hollow tubes to impart light weight to the chair along with great strength. The two elongated side frame members are joined by novel strong quick connecting and disconnecting parts at the front and back to permit rapid disassembly without sacrificing strength. The front connecting part also provides a foot rest.
