20140268042 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR EYE ORIENTATION - Systems and methods for locating the center of a lens in the eye are provided. These systems and methods can be used to improve the effectiveness of a wide variety of different ophthalmic procedures. In one embodiment, a system and method is provided for determining the center of eye lens by illuminating the eye with a set of light sources, and measuring the resulting first image of the light sources reflected from an anterior surface of the lens and the resulting second image of the light sources reflected from a posterior surface of the lens. The location of the center of the lens of the eye is then determined using the measurements. In one embodiment, the center of the lens is determined by interpolating between the measures of the images. Such a determination provides an accurate location of the geometric center of the lens. | 09-18-2014 |
20140268045 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEASURING POSITION AND BOUNDARY OF LENS CAPSULE AND IMPLANTED INTRAOCULAR LENS IN EYE IMAGING - Embodiments of this invention generally relate to systems and methods for eye imaging, and more particularly to measuring the size and position of the lens capsule and of the implanted intraocular lens. In one embodiment, a method for measuring the size and position of the lens capsule and of the implanted intraocular lens comprises generating and emitting one or more light beams at an angle adjacent to the eye, generating one or more eye images, and detecting the position and/or boundary of a lens capsule from its shadow casted by reflected light on the iris. | 09-18-2014 |
20140276679 | SYSTEM AND METHODS FOR DEPTH DETECTION IN LASER-ASSISTED OPHTHALMIC PROCEDURES - Embodiments of this invention relate to systems and methods for automatic depth (or Z) detection before, during, or after laser-assisted ophthalmic surgery. When performing ophthalmic laser surgery, the operator (or surgeon) needs to make accurate and precise incisions using the laser beam. With the automatic depth detection systems and methods, the same laser used for the surgical procedure may be used for depth measurement of the surgical incisions. The surgical laser system may include a laser delivery system for delivering a pulsed laser beam to photoalter an eye, a mirror to transmit at least a portion of reflected light of the pulsed laser beam, a lens positioned to focus the transmitted reflected lighted on to a detector, (such as a CCD), and a depth encoder configured to automatically detect depth according to one or more of color, intensity, or shape of the focused spot on the CCD. | 09-18-2014 |
20140276680 | VARYING A NUMERICAL APERTURE OF A LASER DURING LENS FRAGMENTATION IN CATARACT SURGERY - Some embodiments disclosed here provide for a method fragmenting a cataractous lens of a patient's eye using an ultra-short pulsed laser. The method can include determining, within a lens of a patient's eye, a high NA zone where a cone angle of a laser beam with a high numerical aperture is not shadowed by the iris, and a low NA zone radially closer to the iris where the cone angle of the laser beam with a low numerical aperture is not shadowed by the iris. Laser lens fragmentation is accomplished by delivering the laser beam with the high numerical aperture to the high NA zone, and the laser beam with the low numerical aperture to the low NA zone. This can result in a more effective fragmentation of a nucleus of the lens without exposing the retina to radiation above safety standards. | 09-18-2014 |

The system comprises a control unit and a comparison unit. The control unit receives a print job and modifies the print job by adding a tag to each logical page of the print job, and to transmit the modified print job to a printer. The control unit further generates target images for the logical pages of the print job. The comparison unit receives printed pages of the job from the printer. For each printed page of the job, the comparison unit identifies a tag on the printed page, identifies a target image corresponding with the tag on the printed page, and compares an image of the printed page to the target image to detect discrepancies between the printed page and the target image. | 02-27-2014 |

20100027328 | Multilevel Variable Resistance Memory Cell Utilizing Crystalline Programming States - A method of programming an electrical variable resistance memory device. When applied to variable resistance memory devices that incorporate a phase-change material as the active material, the method utilizes a plurality of crystalline programming states. The crystalline programming states are distinguishable on the basis of resistance, where the resistance values of the different states are stable with time and exhibit little or no drift. As a result, the programming scheme is particularly suited to multilevel memory applications. The crystalline programming states may be achieved by stabilizing crystalline phases that adopt different crystallographic structures or by stabilizing crystalline phases that include mixtures of two or more distinct crystallographic structures that vary in the relative proportions of the different crystallographic structures. The programming scheme incorporates at least two crystalline programming states and further includes at least a third programming state that may be a crystalline, amorphous or mixed crystalline-amorphous state. | 02-04-2010 |
