20100249893 | Medical Electrode Assembly - A medical electrode assembly can be substantially transparent or translucent to visible, infrared and/or ultraviolet light so that light rays emitted by a phototherapy device can shine through and pass transversely across every layer of the medical electrode assembly to impinge upon the skin of the patient to which the assembly is attached. This includes an area of skin located directly underneath the medical electrode assembly and thereby enables a combination of therapies including one or more of electrotherapy and phototherapy. The upper and lower exterior exposed faces of the medical electrode can have tacky, self-adhesive surfaces. | 09-30-2010 |

20100263174 | MAGNETIC SAFETY PUSHPIN - A pushpin device of one embodiment preferably comprises a head adapted to allow a user to apply pressure to the head without discomfort. A longitudinally extending fastening member comprises a point at a distal end and is coupled to the head at a proximal end. A base comprises an aperture. The aperture is configured to allow the fastening member to pass through the base as the head moves proximate to the base. An outer member is coupled to the head and the base. The outer member comprises a first position in which the head is spaced from the base and the outer member encloses a longitudinal segment of the fastening member. In a second position the head is proximate to the base and the outer member is deformed, thereby allowing the fastening member to extend through the aperture. The outer member exerts a countering force on the base and the head. One of the head and the base comprises magnetically susceptible material and the other comprises magnetic material. A magnetic force between the head and the base maintains the outer member in the second position in opposition to the countering force. | 10-21-2010 |

20120275642 | Salient Point-Based Arrangements - A variety of methods and systems involving sensor-equipped portable devices, such as smartphones and tablet computers, are described. One particular embodiment decodes a digital watermark from imagery captured by the device and, by reference to watermark payload data, obtains salient point data corresponding to an object depicted in the imagery. Other embodiments obtain salient point data for an object through use of other technologies (e.g., NFC chips). The salient point data enables the device to interact with the object in a spatially-dependent manner. Many other features and arrangements are also detailed. | 11-01-2012 |

20140132914 | MEANS FOR CONTROLLING THE PROGRESSION OF MYOPIA - A contact lens for use in controlling or retarding the progression of myopia in an eye has a central optical zone approximating the normal diameter of the pupil of the eye that gives clear central vision at distance for the wearer. An annular peripheral optical zone that is substantially outside the diameter of the pupil is formed around the central optical zone with greater refractive power than that of the central zone so that oblique rays entering the eye through the peripheral optical zone will be brought to focus at a focal plane that is substantially on or anterior to the peripheral region of the retina. Preferably, the rear surface of the lens is shaped to conform to the cornea of the eye and the front surface of the lens is shaped to provide—in conjunction with the rear surface—the desired optical properties of the central and peripheral optical zones. The front surface is also preferably contoured to form a smooth transition between the junction of the central optical zone and the peripheral optical zone, with or without designed optical properties such as progressive power. | 05-15-2014 |
