20140257478 | ACCOMMODATING FLUIDIC INTRAOCULAR LENS WITH FLEXIBLE INTERIOR MEMBRANE - An accommodating (re-focusable) intraocular lens (IOL), a body of which includes two optical portions sequentially disposed, in optical contact with one another, along an optical axis and separated by interior surface the curvature of which is changing in response to pressure applied to posterior surface of IOL. The two optical portions may be formed with fluids having different refractive indices and housed in flexible cells that share an interior wall having such interior surface. The wall bends or flexes in response to force, caused by flexing of ciliary body muscle when IOL is installed in eye's capsule's membrane and passed onto the body of IOL via bendable haptics integrated with the optical portion(s) along a perimeter. The optical power of the IOL is gradually modifiable in part due to change of curvature of the interior surface. | 09-11-2014 |
20140257479 | REFOCUSABLE INTRAOCULAR LENS WITH FLEXIBLE ASPHERICAL SURFACE - An intraocular lens (IOL) having a posterior prolate aspheric surface structured to bend or flex in response to force applied to such surface due to flexing of ciliary body muscle. The flexible and bendable haptic portions of the IOL, integrated with the central optical portion along its perimeter, as sized to have the distal sides of the haptic portions installed in the capsular membrane of a natural lens of an eye or in a space between the root of the iris and ciliary muscle. The optical power of the IOL is gradually modifiable due to change of curvature of the posterior prolate aspheric surface within the eye. | 09-11-2014 |
20140330375 | ACCOMMODATING INTRAOCULAR LENS SYSTEM WITH MUTUALLY-DEFORMING OPPOSING SURFACES - An accommodating (re-focusable) intraocular lens (IOL) a body of which includes, upon being assembled, first and second individual lenslets having first and second optical portions sequentially disposed along an optical axis and respective haptic portions, interlocked as a result of rotating of one lenslet with respect to another such as to bring first and second lenslets in contact at an axial point. Change in accommodation of the IOL is achieved by changing an applanated area of contact between the lenslets in response to a radially-directed force caused by a change of distance between the interlocked ends of the haptics and transferred to the optical portions through the interlocked haptics. When installed in a natural lens capsule after the cataract extraction, the optical power of the IOL is gradually modifiable due to a change of curvature of the capsule caused by operation of a ciliary muscle. | 11-06-2014 |

20150202040 | Buttressed Haptic - A haptic supporting an intraocular lens (IOL) in the eye permits radial tension from ciliary muscle relaxation rather than contraction to alter the lens power. The IOL is supported by the overlying tissue in the eye such as iris root, sclera and ciliary process, so that anterior and posterior forces on IOL are balanced, and buckling or displacement of lens in the eye or haptic is reduced or prevented. The haptic is of a thickness so as to increase stiffness and to reduce or prevent IOL buckling or displacement. | 07-23-2015 |

20100180075 | ASSISTED MAINFRAME DATA DE-DUPLICATION - Data de-duplication (“de-dupe”) offers IT organizations the opportunity to replace aging tape systems with disk-based backup solutions and minimize the storage allocated to backup and data protection. The effectiveness of de-dupe technology is extremely dependent on the data being protected. Data streams with little data repetitiveness will provide disappointing results when processed through a block-level de-dupe engine. To avoid this problem, Assisted Mainframe De-Dupe (AMDD) technology can be used to insure that filesystem block-level de-dupe products efficiently and effectively de-dupe tape backup streams received from IBM and or compatible mainframes. By pre-processing backup tape volumes before sending the data to storage, AMDD will insure that large amounts of unchanged data will line up on de-dupe block boundaries each time the data is sent to the de-dupe process engine. By providing “well-behaved” data to the de-dupe process, AMDD can significantly improve the effectiveness of de-dupe processing and substantially reduce the storage is used to backup critical mainframe DASD resources. | 07-15-2010 |
