A test subject is positioned in front of the patient display at a known distance, and a camera captures an image of the test subject's eyes, to allow gaze direction determination to be performed. The captured images are displayed to a clinician user by a controlling test application, the clinician making a determination based on the images as to whether the test subject saw a target graphic or video when it was displayed. The clinician user then makes an appropriate input into the controlling test application, which also logs the position at which the target image was displayed. By displaying target graphics at multiple locations on the screen and logging the clinician inputs, the controlling test application is able to build up a plot of the peripheral vision field of the test subject. This plot can then be graphically displayed to the clinician user, and stored with the test results for future clinical use. | 08-07-2014 |

| 20080290084 | Method of Forming a Flexible Heating Element - The present invention provides a method of manufacturing a heating element having a desired pattern of conductive tracks forming a power dissipative conductive track pattern with a desired resistivity and power output, the method comprising providing a photosensitive or pressure-sensitive element comprising: a support having coated on at least one side thereof a photo-sensitive or pressure-sensitive layer, which is capable of, upon imagewise radiation or pressure exposure according to the desired pattern and development of the resulting latent image, providing a metal image according to the desired pattern; imagewise radiative- or pressure-exposing the layer of the element according to a desired conductive pattern to form a latent image in the layer; and developing the element to form a conductive metal pattern, corresponding to the pattern of the latent image, on the support. The heating element may be formed on a flexible support and finds particular utility in heated window/windscreen applications. | 11-27-2008 |
| 20090142559 | METHOD OF FORMING CONDUCTIVE TRACKS FOR FLEXIBLE ELECTRONIC CIRCUITS - Conductive tracks are formed on a support by providing a coated support where the coating is susceptible to forming a latent image upon pressure-exposure (e.g. a coating of a silver halide emulsion in gelatin), pressure exposing said coated support according to a desired track pattern to form a latent image of the track pattern and developing the latent image to form a conductive metal track pattern corresponding to the latent image. The latent image may be formed, for example, by applying pressure using a stylus or scalpel, an engraved stamp or a roller carrying a relief pattern. The method is capable of forming conductive tracks at very high resolution (e.g. 10 μm or less), optionally on a flexible support. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090242236 | METHOD OF FORMING CONDUCTIVE TRACKS - A patterned electrical conductor having improved resolution and conductivity is obtained by forming a latent image by exposing, to pressure or sensitising radiation according to a desired conductive track pattern, a pressure-sensitive or photosensitive element having a support substrate and a pressure-sensitive or photosensitive material coated thereon, being capable of providing a latent image upon exposure and comprising a pressure-sensitive or photosensitive metal salt dispersed in a binder, which binder is susceptible to decomposition and/or dissolution upon treatment with an enzyme solution, developing the latent image to form a developed image formed by a first metal (e.g. silver) corresponding to the desired conductive track pattern, treating the developed image with an enzyme capable of decomposing or dissolving the binder and electroless plating and/or electroplating the developed metal image with a plating of a second metal (e.g. silver) to improve the conductivity of the developed metal image to form a conductive track according to the desired pattern, wherein the step of treating the developed image with the enzyme is prior to and/or during the plating step(s). | 10-01-2009 |

| 20120218362 | PRINTING PROCESS AND LIQUID INK JET INK - A process for forming an image on a substrate, comprises depositing ink compositions of at least two colours onto the substrate to form the image, and fixing the image to the substrate, wherein the ink is deposited using an electrostatic printhead, which ejects chargeable marking particles dispersed in a carrier fluid by using an applied electric field to first concentrate and then eject the marking particles, and wherein all of the ink compositions are deposited onto the substrate before the image is fixed. An ink composition suitable for use in the invention comprises: 45-95% by weight of a carrier liquid; 6-40% by weight of insoluble chargeable marking particles; and 0.4-10% by weight of a soluble dispersant, characterised in that the ink does not contain an agent that can fix the marking particles to a substrate. | 08-30-2012 |
