20100177039 | Finger Indicia Input Device for Computer - A device for controlling a computer to input commands using only hand motion. The device employs visually distinct indicia upon the thumb and at least one other finger of a user's hand. Using cameras or other means to capture movement of the user's hand, any contact between the thumb and a finger bearing the distinct indicia is ascertained as an input command. A laser or dot projecting pointer may be controlled using indicia in the form of a line on one finger. | 07-15-2010 |
20120004672 | Suture Straightening Device and Method - A device for straightening sutures or pre-packaged suture-needle combinations. The device has a body formed of substantially resilient material flexible enough to be penetrated by a pointed end of a needle along with a suture inserted into it or to obtain a substantial gap when a slit is cut or molded into it. The device may be held securely in a position for subsequent grasping by a user for drawing a suture through it or attached to an OEM suture packaging. A means of engagement such as adhesive provides means for temporary or permanent attachment to the suture packaging. | 01-05-2012 |
20120172711 | Injectable Vascular Access Port with Discernable Markers for Identification - An improved injection port identification for injection ports implanted under the skin of a patient. The injection port has an x-ray discernable marker allowing for the determination of a pressure rating for the injection port when so implanted. A plurality of concurrent visual, RF, light emitting and sonic means for signaling the port's pressure rating are also employable to provide multiple concurrent affirmations of the port's readiness for high pressure injections. | 07-05-2012 |
20130253645 | Biocompatible Mesh Implant - A mesh device for supporting one or a combination of a breast implant or breast tissue is provided formed of interlaced filaments forming a mesh structure which will not unravel when cut across a mid section of the mesh device. A titanium layer positioned on the exterior surface of the filaments of the mesh provide both a biocompatible interface with surrounding tissue and enhanced engagement of the filaments to prevent unraveling. | 09-26-2013 |
20140039401 | SECUREMENT DEVICE - A securement device is provided for engaging a catheter in an engaged position on a patient's skin. The device is formed of a flexible base having two half portions foldable to adhere to a sandwiched engagement of the catheter along a pathway. A tearaway portion in one half portion when removed forms an exit for the catheter to allow for changing of the securement device. Pads are provided in positions to communicate anti-pathogenic agents to the skin at the insertion site. | 02-06-2014 |
20140043682 | Flip Up Interchangeable System - Eyewear having a pivoted engagement of lenses with a lens frame worn on the head of the user. A lens assembly holding the lens or lenses is rotatable out of the user's view when not required for viewing such as when conversing with a friend or when wearing tinted lenses and needing unfiltered viewing. Biasing of the rotatable assembly provides for automatic rotation upward out of the field of view of the user upon release of a retaining component. The rotational engagement of lenses relative to a head worn frame may be employed in combination with prescription lenses, sunglass lenses, or 3D filtering lenses for viewing 3D media in the same rotational engagement and in one mode of the device are removable. | 02-13-2014 |
20140214047 | Device and Method for Medical Records Storage in the Eye - A method and apparatus for the storage and retrieval of patient personal and medical information and records in the eye of an implanted or patient. Patient medical information or other personalized data in the form of indicia is imparted to an implant which is engaged into a mounted position in the eye during eye surgery or a needle insertion. The indicia may be read through the clear tissue of the eye, using an optical magnifier once implanted. Indicia is imparted to the implant using a laser or photographically or printing. Conventionally employed laser surgery equipment used for LASIK and similar surgeries can be easily adapted to both impart the indicia to the implant and form a cavity to hold the implant for subsequent viewing of the visible indicia. | 07-31-2014 |
20140232980 | Mounting Interface for Eyewear - A mounting interface system is provided and is adapted for the engagement of any of a plurality of electronic components with eyewear such as eyeglasses and goggles. The system employs a mounting component on the eyewear which is engageable and adjustable with a complimentary mount on any of a plurality of said electronic components. | 08-21-2014 |
20140233181 | Protective Case Device with Interchangeable Faceplate System - A protective case is provided which is configured for a removable engagement with an electronic device such as a smartphone or pad computer. The case may have an auxiliary power source mounted thereon to increase electronic power reserves of the electronic device, or a supplemental antenna which increases the gain of the device antenna when the case is in operable removable engagement with the electronic device. | 08-21-2014 |
20140253865 | Eyeglasses For Far-Field Vision Correction - An eyewear device is provided which has lenses positioned above the temples when worn yielding an unobstructed view below the bottom of both lenses. The lower edge of the lenses may be curved toward the upper edge to increase the viewing area and the lenses may be rotationally engaged to temples to allow changes in viewing angle through them. | 09-11-2014 |
