Abstract: System, method, and program product analyze netlists for related electrical circuit designs by comparing predefined physical characteristics between the netlists. A baseline reference score is generated for one of the netlists and a normalized score is generated for the other netlist. The baseline reference score and the normalized score are used to generate a similarity score that is displayed on a display monitor. Preferably, the similarity score is displayed as a percentage.

Abstract: The present invention provides a holder for supporting a two optic accommodating intraocular lens device. The holder is capable of holding the device while taking measurements or performing manufacturing process steps on the device and/or packaging the device. In a preferred embodiment, the holder supports the device along the haptics thereof such that the optics remain untouched and unobstructed by the holder. As such, testing and/or processing of the optics during their accommodative and unaccomodative positions may be taken, and the device may be safely packaged and shipped with the holder.

Abstract: A new mailing envelope for use in mailing of a rigid module that is embedded in a plastic or non-plastic substrate.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for preparing a silicone hydrogel lens including heating a cast lens to drive off an organic diluent by moving the cast lens continuously through heating and cooling zones to provide a first-in-first-out handling system. The zones are either horizontally or vertically arranged. An apparatus embodiment of a vertical heating zone includes outer and inner concentric shells arranged in a heating chamber. One of the shells rotates about a vertical axis relative to the other. The outer shell has a spiral rail extending into the space between the outer and inner shells and the inner shell has a plurality of vertical ribs spaced about its periphery. A lens carrier placed on the rail is engaged and driven along the spiral rail by one of the ribs responsive to the relative motion between the outer and inner shells.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for injection molding intraocular lenses includes an embodiment having first and second runners extending into first and second optic cavities of a mold configured to make a dual optic lens device.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for cutting an IOL optic from an IOL blank whereby the resultant IOL optic has a square edge and the cutting is performed in a combined linear and rotational cutting movement. In another aspect, an IOL optic is provided which includes a square edge and helically shaped striations formed therein to help reduce glare.

Abstract: A process for treating biomedical devices, especially contact lenses, involves contacting polymeric devices containing extractables with a solvent that dissolves and removes the extractables from the devices. The devices are subjected to at least two treatments with solvent to remove extractables in the devices. One of the treatment steps involves solvent used as a final rinse for a prior batch of devices. The solvent may be circulated through a series of tanks, in which case the devices are first extracted in the downstream tanks, followed by extraction in the first tank containing fresh incoming solvent.

Abstract: Intraocular lenses or contact lenses 20 are placed on a lower spindle 34 and held there by a vacuum in conduit 34. Noble and reactive gases 56, 58 are introduced and a voltage is applied across upper spindle 32 and lower spindle 34 to plasma treat one surface of the lens. The lens is transferred to the other spindle and the process is repeated.
