| 20090211522 | Use of Variable Frequency Microwaves to Control the Teflon Profile of Gas Diffusion Media - A method for fabricating diffusion media for a fuel cell that includes using variable frequency microwaves for heating the diffusion media after it has been coated with a solvent including fluorocarbon particles to provide broader control over the distribution of the fluorocarbon on the diffusion media. In one embodiment, a carbon fiber substrate is dipped in a solution including the fluorocarbon particles and a surfactant. The wet and coated substrate is then dried using the microwave radiation, where the frequency of the microwave radiation is varied to increase or control the dispersion of the fluorocarbon particles and the hydrophobicity of the diffusion media. In one embodiment, the microwave radiation is varied in frequency between 500 MHz and 1000 GHZ. | 08-27-2009 |

| 20100029352 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INCREASED REALISM IN VIDEO GAMES - A system and method for updating parameters of a video game is provided. As events occur in the real world that may influence a game attribute, a parameter is recorded on a server. A video game player may connect to the server and download the parameter. The parameter is stored by the video game and changes an attribute of the video game. Thus, for example, the new performance characteristics of the rising star may be recorded on the server as improved performance parameters. When these parameters are downloaded by the video game player, the video game incorporates the star-like qualities of the rising star. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20090032774 | DEAGGREGATED ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYMERS AND PRECURSORS THEREOF - Deaggregated substituted and unsubstituted polyparaphenylenes, polyparaphenylevevinyles, polyanilines, polyazines, polythiophenes, poly-p-phenylene sulfides, polyfuranes, polypyrroles, polyselenophene, polyacetylenes formed from soluble precursors and combinations thereof and copolymers thereof and methods of fabrication are described. The deaggregated polymer molecules when subsequently doped show higher electrical conductivity. Agents such as lithium chloride, m-cresol and nonylphenol are used to deaggregate the polymer molecules. The deaggregating agents can be added prior to or during doping the molecules. | 02-05-2009 |
| 20090032775 | POLYCRYSTALLINE CONDUCTING POLYMERS AND PRECURSORS THEREOF HAVING ADJUSTABLE MORPHOLOGY AND PROPERTIES - Polycrystalline materials containing crystallies of precursors to electrically conductive polymers and electrically conductive polymers are described which have an adjustable high degree of crystallinity. The intersticial regions between the crystallites contains amorphous material containing precursors to electrically conductive polymers and/or electrically conductive polymers. The degree of crystallinity is achieved by preparing the materials under conditions which provide a high degree of mobility to the polymer molecules permitting them to associate with one another to form a crystalline state. This is preferable achieved by including additives, such as plasticizers and diluents, to the solution from which the polycrystalline material is formed. The morphology of the polycrystalline material is adjustable to modify the properties of the material such as the degree of crystallinity, crystal grain size, glass transition temperature, thermal coefficient of expansion and degree of electrical conductivity. High levels of electrical conductivity are achieved in in the electrically conductive polycrystalline materials without stretch orienting the material. The enhanced electrical conductivity is isotropic as compared to a stretch oriented film which has isotropic electrical conductivity. | 02-05-2009 |

| 20090304908 | Methods of fabricating plasticized, antiplasticized and crystalline conducting polymers and precursors thereof - Methods of forming materials containing precursors to electrically conductive polymers and electrically conductive polymers are described which have a high degree of crystallinity. The high degree of crystallinity is achieved by preparing the materials under conditions which provide a high degree of mobility to the polymer molecules permitting them to associate with one another to form a crystalline state. High levels of electrical conductivity are achieved in in the electrically conductive materials without stretch orienting the material. The enhanced electrical conductivity is isotropic as compared to a stretch oriented film which has isotropic electrical conductivity. In the preferred embodiment, additives are added to a solution containing a solvent and the precursor or electrically conductive polymer. The additives are preferably plasticizer of diluents. As the solvent is removed the material dries and contains a higher degree of crystallinity than in the absence of the additive. | 12-10-2009 |

| 20090204211 | Accommodative IOL with Dynamic Spherical Aberration - The present invention is generally directed to accommodative intraocular lenses (IOLs) that exhibit a dynamic spherical aberration as a function of accommodative power. By way of example, in one aspect, the present invention provides an intraocular lens (IOL) having an anterior optical element, a posterior optical element, and a mechanism for coupling the anterior and posterior elements so as to allow axial movement of those elements relative to one another for providing accommodation when the lens is implanted in a patient's eye. Each of the anterior and the posterior elements includes at least one aspherical surface, where the asphericities of the surfaces are adapted to provide a combined spherical aberration that varies with accommodation. | 08-13-2009 |

| 20110313521 | Intraocular rings and associated systems and methods - Intraocular rings, intraocular lens systems, and associated methods are disclosed. In some instances, the intraocular rings are formed of biocompatible pharmaceutical delivering materials and are configured to be implanted with conventional intraocular lens designs. The intraocular rings include engagement features for interfacing with haptics of the conventional intraocular lens designs in order to ensure proper orientation of the intraocular ring and intraocular lens relative to one another. In some instances, the intraocular rings also include haptics to encourage centering of the intraocular ring within the posterior capsule. The intraocular rings also serve to prevent posterior capsular opacification. | 12-22-2011 |

| 20100211169 | INTRAOCULAR LENS CONFIGURED TO OFFSET OPTICAL EFFECTS CAUSED BY OPTIC DEFORMATION - Intraocular lenses (IOLs) and related methods. One embodiment provides an IOL which includes a lens optic and a pair of haptics. The haptics can be coupled to the lens optic and can cause compression of the lens optic when the IOL is fixated in an eye. The lens optic can have a compressed geometry, an uncompressed geometry including an aberration, and a desired geometry. The compressed geometry can be the desired geometry. The aberration can be astigmatism, coma, or spherical aberration. For instance, the aberration can be astigmatism of about 0.17 D at the spectacle plane and of about 0.25 D at the intraocular lens plane. Moreover, the haptics can define a first axis between the haptics; the lens optic can define a second axis perpendicular to the first axis; and the uncompressed geometry can differ from the compressed geometry in the vicinity of the second axis. | 08-19-2010 |

| 20110184514 | INTRAOCULAR MENISCUS LENS PROVIDING PSEUDO-ACCOMMODATION - An intraocular lens providing pseudo-accommodation includes a haptic assembly configured to position the accommodating intraocular lens; and a meniscus-shaped optic having a convex face and a concave face. The meniscus-shaped optic has an uncompressed state within an eye when the ciliary muscles are relaxed and a compressed state within the eye when the ciliary muscles are contracted. A principal plane of the meniscus-shaped optic in the uncompressed state is anterior to the principal plane of the meniscus-shaped optic in the compressed state. A spherical aberration of the meniscus-shaped optic is substantially different in the compressed state than in the uncompressed state. | 07-28-2011 |
