20080262610 | BIOMECHANICAL DESIGN OF INTRACORNEAL INLAYS - Provided herein are intracorneal inlays for correcting vision impairments by altering the shape of the anterior corneal surface. The physical design of the inlay to induce the desired change of the anterior corneal surface includes consideration of the biomechanical response of the corneal tissue to the physical shape of the inlay. This biomechanical response can differ depending on the thickness, diameter, and profile of the inlay. In one embodiment, inlays having diameters smaller than the pupil are provided for correcting presbyopia. To provide near vision, an inlay is implanted centrally in the cornea to induce an “effect” zone on the anterior corneal surface, within which diopter power is increased. Distance vision is provided by a region of the cornea peripheral to the “effect” zone. In another embodiment, small diameter inlays are provided that induce “effect” zones on the anterior corneal surface that are much larger in diameter than the inlays. | 10-23-2008 |

20090025868 | Printable Fastener Composites - A sheet-form composite has a paper side and a side having a field of fastener hooks. The paper side has a surface formed to be printable, writeable or photo-developable in the presence of the fastener hooks on the obverse side. Weak hook areas enable support of light weight papers upon loop surfaces that are not designed for hook and loop fastening. Selected bands in which hooks reside enable performing other operations in non-hook areas, with which the hooks would interfere, or would be damaged. The composite is useful for display, sales, advertising or adornment, and is readily fed through standard inkjet and other printers. Images are thus acquired and transferred onto the composite by computer. | 01-29-2009 |
