20130311874 | Campaign Media Continuity - A computer-implemented method of providing specialized media on a website is disclosed. The method includes producing campaign media which is delivered to a user through a third-party provider. After the user has received the campaign media, and upon indication of a request from the user to access a website controlled by a content provider, specialized media on a website controlled by the content provider may be provided. Providing the specialized media may be done based on the campaign media previously delivered to the user through the third-party provider. | 11-21-2013 |

20150088870 | Systems and Methods for Diagnosing Inherited Retinal Diseases - A method for automatically diagnosing inherited retinal disease includes receiving a plurality of dissimilar types of data and pre-processing at least one of the plurality of dissimilar types of data to generate a feature vector descriptive of a patient. Further, the method includes, for each of the plurality of dissimilar types of data: (i) comparing portions of the respective type of data or a corresponding feature vector to data in a mutation proven database; (ii) generating a ranked list of matches between the patient and the plurality of patients with known diagnoses; and (iii) storing the ranked list of matches in an output database. A diagnosis routine then aggregates a plurality of ranked lists of matches in the output database to generate a ranked list of genetic diagnoses corresponding to the patient and sends an indication of the ranked list of genetic diagnoses to the end user device. | 03-26-2015 |

20140277051 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR CILIARY MUSCLE COMPRESSION FOR INCREASEING THE AMPLITUDE OF ACCOMMODATION - The present invention relates generally to a device and method for the treatment of, ocular hypertension, glaucoma, and increasing the amplitude of accommodation. In an illustrative embodiment, the device includes a self-expanding wire. Once the device is within the posterior chamber between the iris and anterior lens capsule, the wire expands to compress the ciliary muscle. When the device is in place the scleral spur is moved posteriorly resulting in traction on the trabecular meshwork, which causes a reduction in intraocular pressure for the treatment of patients with ocular hypertension and glaucoma. In addition, the compression of the ciliary muscle increases the force of contraction of the ciliary muscle, which increases the amplitude of accommodation in patients with deficient accommodative amplitude and presbyopia. | 09-18-2014 |

20130218269 | DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TREATMENT OF RETINAL DETACHMENT AND OTHER MALADIES OF THE EYE - The present invention relates generally to a device and method for the treatment of retinal detachment, ocular hypertension and glaucoma, and increasing the amplitude of accommodation. In an illustrative embodiment, the device includes a tapered, mesh tube. Once the device is within the sclera, the mesh expands to deform the sclera. When the device is placed within the posterior sclera for the treatment of a retinal tear, the device expands deforming the sclera so that the retinal pigment epithelium comes in contact with the retinal tear to seal the tear. For the treatment of ocular hypertension, glaucoma and to increase the amplitude of accommodation, the device is placed within the anterior sclera over the posterior plicata of the ciliary body, which upon expansion causes the underlying ciliary body to deform, resulting in traction on the trabecular meshwork and deformation of the ciliary body, which causes lowering of intraocular pressure, and increases the amplitude of accommodation in patients with ocular hypertension or decreased accommodation. | 08-22-2013 |

20090210053 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING GLAUCOMATOUS OPTIC NEUROPATHY - A device and method is disclosed for preventing glaucomatous optic neuropathy, an affliction of the eye. An incision is made in the scleral region of the eye and an optic nerve head shield is inserted and positioned proximate to the optic nerve head of the eye to form a pressure seal over the optic nerve head of the eye. The optic nerve head shield decreases the pressure differential across the cribiform plate preventing bowing of the cribiform plate and glaucomatous optic neuropathy. | 08-20-2009 |

20120149981 | MAGNETICALLY MANEUVERABLE IN-VIVO DEVICE - An in-vivo device includes a magnetic steering unit (MSU) to maneuver it by an external electromagnetic field. The MSU may include a permanent magnets assembly to produce a magnetic force for navigating the device. The MSU may include a magnets carrying assembly (MCA) to accommodate the permanent magnet(s). The MCA may be designed to generate eddy currents, in response to AC magnetic field, to apply a repelling force. The in-vivo device may also include a multilayered imaging and sensing printed circuit board (MISP) to capture and transmit images. The MISP may include a sensing coil assembly (SCA) to sense electromagnetic fields to determine a location/orientation/angular position of the in-vivo device. Data representing location/orientation/angular position of the device may be used by a maneuvering system to generate a steering magnetic field to steer the in-vivo device from one location or state to another location or state. | 06-14-2012 |
