  • Patent number: 12064376
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to intracameral implants for treating and/or preventing corneal disorders, diseases, and/or conditions, such as corneal endothelial dystrophies. The intracameral implants can be configured to provide a sustained release of a therapeutic agent, such as a Rho kinase inhibitor, for a prolonged period of time. The intracameral implants can include a non-bioresorbable anchor or a bioresorbable matrix.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20190064517
    Abstract: A head up display testing arrangement includes an optical instrument detecting an optical quality of a light field produced by a head up display projector. A rotatable support device is attached to and supports the optical instrument. A three-dimensional positioning assembly is attached to and supports the tiltable support device. The three-dimensional positioning assembly includes an x-axis linear drive module, a y-axis linear drive module, and a z-axis linear drive module. Each one of the x-axis linear drive module, the y-axis linear drive module, and the z-axis linear drive module translates the tiltable support device in a direction orthogonal to directions in which other two of the x-axis linear drive module, the y-axis linear drive module, and the z-axis linear drive module translate the rotatable support device. A rollable cart is attached to and supports the three-dimensional positioning assembly.

  • Publication number: 20050030836
    Abstract: A watch has a mirror dial plate assembly comprising a light valve layer, and a light reflective layer. The light valve is controlled by an electronic circuit for its on, off, and variable light transmission. The reflectivity of the mirror assembly is thus controlled. Dial marks are incorporated either on or in the light valve layer, or using a separation transparent layer.
