  • Curvature changing accommodative intraocular lens
    Patent number: 9072600
    Abstract: A curvature changing accommodative intraocular lens for implantation into the eye of a patient includes a lens body having a base lens which has a base lens power, and a haptic structure including haptic elements projecting from the base lens. An actuator is placed into engagement with the lens body, and includes actuator haptic elements. At least one fluidic optical element is received between the actuator and base lens of the lens body and contains a fluid material therein. During accommodation of the patient's eye, the haptic elements of the lens body and actuator are engaged and apply a force to the fluidic optical element, causing the fluidic optical element to be deformed to generate an additional lens power to adjust the patient's vision.

  • Mechanism to schedule threads on OS-sequestered sequencers without operating system intervention
    Patent number: 9069605
    Abstract: Method, apparatus and system embodiments to schedule OS-independent “shreds” without intervention of an operating system. For at least one embodiment, the shred is scheduled for execution by a scheduler routine rather than the operating system. A scheduler routine may run on each enabled sequencer. The schedulers may retrieve shred descriptors from a queue system. The sequencer associated with the scheduler may then execute the shred described by the descriptor.

  • Segmented intramedullary fracture fixation devices and methods
    Patent number: 9060820
    Abstract: A segmented bone fixation device is provided with an elongate body having a longitudinal axis and having a first state in which at least a portion of the body is flexible and a second state in which the body is generally rigid. Methods of repairing a fracture of a bone are also disclosed. One such method comprises inserting a segmented fixation device into an intramedullary space of the bone to place at least a portion of the fixation device in a flexible state on one side of the fracture, providing rigidity across the fracture, and operating an actuator to deploy at least one gripper to engage an inner surface of the intramedullary space to anchor the fixation device to the bone.
