US Patent:

20130242255, Sep 19, 2013

Filed:

Mar 13, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/418661

Inventors:

Salvatore G. Caldarise - St. Johns FL, US
Jeffrey H. Roffman - Saint Johns FL, US
Lenora L. Copper - Jacksonville FL, US
Ryan Hawke - Jacksonville FL, US
Daniel B. Otts - Fruit Cove FL, US

International Classification:

G02C 7/04
A61K 9/00

US Classification:

35115904, 35115902, 35115938, 35115936

Abstract:

A contact lens incorporating one or more dynamic fluid zones fabricated from a material that is readily deformable under eyelid pressure during blinking allows for the delivery of one or more agents to the eye, dynamic cosmetic eye enhancement, and/or dynamic rotational misalignment correction. The one or more agents may include therapeutic agents, nutritional agents and pharmacological agents.

Appl. No.:

13/430891

Inventors:

Jonathan Hansen - Jacksonville FL, US
Ryan Hawke - Jacksonville FL, US

International Classification:

G02C 7/04
B29D 11/00

US Classification:

35115922, 264 17, 264 136

Abstract:

A molded contact lens comprising a stiffer optic zone relative to the peripheral zone of the contact lens provides an optical element for correcting astigmatism without the need for or substantially minimizing the need for the correction of rotational misalignment. The higher elastic modulus optic zone vaults over the cornea thereby allowing a tear lens to form. The tear lens follows or assumes the shape of the back surface of the contact lens. The combination of the tear lens and the optical zone provide an optical element for correction of refractive error.

International Classification:

G02C 7/04

US Classification:

35115905, 35115902, 35115973

Abstract:

A contact lens incorporating one or more compliant dynamic translation zones fabricated from a material that is readily deformable under eyelid pressure during blinking and which allows for the control over translation of the contact lens on the eye. The one or more compliant dynamic translation zones provide for the comfortable relative movement of the contact lens over the eye.

Daniel B. Otts - Fruit Grove FL, US

International Classification:

G02C 7/04

US Classification:

35115936, 35115973

Abstract:

A contact lens incorporating one or more dynamic stabilization zones fabricated from a material that is readily deformable under eyelid pressure during blinking allows for the control over rotation of the contact lens on the eye. As the material deforms, the angle of contact between the eyelid and the one or more dynamic stabilization zones changes as does the rotational force acting on the contact lens.

Assignee:

nLIGHT, Inc. - Vancouver WA

International Classification:

G02B 27/09
G02B 6/255
H01S 3/067

Abstract:

An apparatus includes a laser system that includes a first fiber having an output end and situated to propagate a first laser beam with a first beam parameter product (bpp) and a second fiber having an input end spliced to the output end of the first fiber at a fiber splice so as to receive the first laser beam and to form a second laser beam having a second bpp that is greater than the first bpp, wherein the output end of the first fiber and the input end of the second fiber are spliced at a tilt angle so as to increase the first bpp to the second bpp.

Assignee:

NLIGHT, INC. - VANCOUVER WA

International Classification:

H01S 3/067
H01S 3/16

Abstract:

Multi-clad optical fiber cladding light stripper (CLS) comprising an inner cladding with one or more recessed surface regions to remove light propagating within the inner cladding. A CLS may comprise such recessed surface regions along two or more azimuthal angles about the fiber axis, for example to improve stripping efficiency. One or more dimensions, or spatial distribution, of the recessed surface regions may be randomized, for example to improve stripping uniformity across a multiplicity of modes propagating within a cladding. Adjacent recessed surface regions may abut, for example, end-to-end, as segments of a recess that occupies a majority, or even an entirety, of the length of a fiber surrounded by a heat sink. One or more dimensions, or angular position, of individual ones of the abutted recessed surface regions may vary, according to a regular or irregular pattern.
