20080277175 | Fuel Cell Hybrid-Electric Heavy-Duty Vehicle Drive System and Method - A system and a method that provides fuel cell and energy storage hybrid-electric propulsion and control for a heavy-duty vehicle over 10,000 pounds GVWR. Power output is supplied from a fuel cell system to a high-power intermediate DC bus through a fuel cell DC/DC converter. Power output is supplied from an energy storage system to the high-power intermediate DC bus through a separate energy storage fuel cell DC/DC converter. The received power is combined on the high-power intermediate DC bus to create a stable voltage. The stable voltage from the high-power intermediate DC bus is supplied to one or more electric motors/generators to accelerate the heavy duty vehicle. | 11-13-2008 |

20080294253 | Device and Method for Incremental Correction of Sight Disorders and Ocular Diseases - A device and method of use thereof for incrementally adjusting the size and/or shape of a particular body part is provided. The device comprises first and second layers each formed of a synthetic resin. The first layer is formed of a heat-shrinkable material having a low melting point while the second layer has a melting point much higher than the first layer. Upon being subjected to energy, the first layer will shrink or contract causing the second layer, and thus the overall device, to bend in the direction of contraction. In use, the device is inserted into the particular body part after which energy is applied to the device so as to cause the body to expand, move, reshape, etc. The invention is particularly useful for treatment of accommodative disorders of the eye by positioning one or more of the devices within the eye sclera or attached to the sclera around the limbus so that the sclera and ciliary body are expanded away from the crystalline lens upon being of the device. | 11-27-2008 |

20150320598 | DEVICES AND METHOD FOR TREATING GLAUCOMA - A method is described for treating glaucoma by surgically implanting a shape recoverable member in the sclera of the eye. The shape recovery member is adapted to recover involutely when shape recovery is caused to occur. The bending of the shape recoverable member during its recovery exerts pressure on longitudinal ciliary muscle to supply tension to and open the trabecular meshwork. As a result, aqueous humor flows more freely and reduces the intraocular pressure. | 11-12-2015 |
