20120124430Mechanism to Prevent Escaped Associations in Multi-Association RPC Based Protocols - Consistent with embodiments of the present invention, a method may be provided comprising sending a first bind request with an association group ID of zero. A first association group with a first association group ID may then be created. The first association group ID may be switched to a second association group ID in an acknowledgement message. A second bind request may then be sent with the second association group ID. The second association group ID may be switched to the first association group ID in the second bind request after the bind request has been sent. After receiving the second bind request, it may be determined whether the association group ID in the second bind request is the same as the first association group ID. A failure message may be sent if the association group ID in the second bind request is not the same as the first association group ID.05-17-2012

20110082544ACCOMMODATING LENS ASSEMBLY - A method of anchoring an accommodating intraocular lens assembly in the posterior chamber of an eye whereby the lens assembly includes an optical axis that corresponds with the visual axis of a human eye. The posterior chamber includes a ciliary sulcus and a capsular unit with a collapsed natural lens capsule located therein. The assembly includes a substantially rigid haptics element having first and second haptic portions, which, when anchored, define a plane that intersects the visual axis of the eye. The haptics element secures the accommodating lens assembly within the posterior chamber outside the collapsed natural lens capsule and allows light to be transmitted therethrough at least in a region around said optical axis. A lens structure includes at least a resilient lens body located at least partially along the visual axis when the lens assembly is anchored in the posterior chamber of the eye. The method includes the steps of, (1) introducing the first haptic portion, which includes a first anchor portion projecting therefrom, into the posterior chamber of the eye until the first anchor portion is anchored in the scleral wall at a desired location; and (2) moving the second haptic portion, which comprises a second anchor portion projecting therefrom, until the second anchor portion is anchored in the scleral wall on the opposite side of the lens from the first anchor portion and the lens structure is in contact with the collapsed natural lens, whereby the collapsed natural lens capsule will be prestressed and deform the lens body relative to and substantially independently of the haptics element in relation to the force the capsular unit applies directly or indirectly to the lens body along the optical axis.04-07-2011

20090216225THERMAL CAPSULOTOMY TOOL AND SYSTEM - A system and tool for performing a capsulotomy procedure. The system includes an air pressure unit, a capsulotomy and movement control unit providing electrical current and movement control, and a capsulotomy tool, and an extendable-retractable burning element coupled to the tool. A capsulotomy and movement control unit provides electrical current to the burning element and movement control for extending and retracting the burning element. When the burning element is in a flattened, retracted configuration, the tip of the tool can be inserted through a relatively small corneal incision. Then, the burning element is opened to a circular, extended configuration, allowing a capsulotomy by applying an electrical pulse to the burning element. Optionally, predefined points of weakness allow removal of the tool should breakage occur during surgery.08-27-2009
20100057069THERMAL BURNING RING TOOL AND SYSTEM - A thermal burning tool for performing a surgical procedure. The tool comprises a probe having an elongated body adapted to provide electrical power to a burning ring formed at a distal end thereof, with the burning ring being formed at an oblique angle from the tool probe. This enables formation of a burn having a diameter larger than the diameter of the hollow body, as measured along the largest axis of the burn. An input connector mounted on a proximal end of the probe connects the probe with an electrical power source, with the input connector having at least one resistor in an electrical circuit for controlling the electrical power provided to the burning ring. Upon application of electrical current to the tool, heat is concentrated at the distal end of the probe. In a preferred embodiment, the tool additionally provides pressurized airflow, eliminating the need for a separate airflow tool.03-04-2010
20100298820THERMAL CAPSULOTOMY TOOL AND SYSTEM - A system and tool for performing a capsulotomy procedure. The system includes an air pressure unit providing pressurized airflow, a capsulotomy and movement control unit providing electrical current and movement control, and a capsulotomy tool including a main housing, and an extendable-retractable burning element coupled to the main housing. The tool is in connection with the capsulotomy and movement control unit for providing electrical current to the burning element and movement control for extending and retracting the burning element. When the burning element is in a flattened, retracted configuration, the tip of the tool can be inserted through a relatively small corneal incision. Once in the anterior chamber, the burning element is switched to a circular, extended configuration, so as to allow performance of a capsulotomy by applying an electrical pulse to the burning element.11-25-2010
20110213359CIRCULAR THERMAL CAPSULOTOMY TOOL AND SYSTEM - A system and tool for performing a capsulotomy procedure. The system includes an air pressure unit, a capsulotomy and movement control unit providing electrical current and movement control, and a capsulotomy tool, and an extendable-retractable burning element coupled to the tool, and a slidable shaping element. A capsulotomy and movement control unit provides electrical current to the burning element and movement control for extending and retracting the burning element. When the burning element is in a flattened, retracted configuration, the tip of the tool can be inserted through a relatively small corneal incision. Then, the burning element is opened to a full circular, extended configuration, by pressing the shaping element against both joints of the bands, allowing a capsulotomy by applying an electrical pulse to the burning element.09-01-2011
