20090143858OPTICAL MATERIAL AND METHOD FOR MODIFYING THE REFRACTIVE INDEX - A method for modifying the refractive index of an optical, polymeric material. The method comprises irradiating select regions of the optical, polymeric material with a focused, visible or near-IR laser having a pulse energy from 0.05 nJ to 1000 nJ. The irradiation results in the formation of refractive optical structures, characterized by a change in refractive index, exhibit little or no scattering loss, and exhibit no significant differences in the Raman spectrum with respect to the non-irradiated optical, polymeric material. The method can be used to modify the refractive index of an intraocular lens following the surgical implantation of the intraocular lens in a human eye. The invention is also directed to an optical device comprising refractive optical structures, wherein the refractive structures are characterized by a change in refractive index, exhibit little or no scattering loss, and exhibit no significant differences in the Raman spectrum with respect to the non-irradiated optical, polymeric material.06-04-2009
20090287306Optical hydrogel material with photosensitizer and method for modifying the refractive index - A method for modifying the refractive index of an optical, hydrogel polymeric material. The method comprises irradiating predetermined regions of an optical, polymeric material with a laser to form refractive structures. To facilitate the formation of the refractive structures the optical, hydrogel polymeric material comprises a photosensitizer. The presence of the photosensitizer permits one to set a scan rate to a value that is at least fifty times greater than a scan rate without the photosensitizer in the material, yet provides similar refractive structures in terms of the observed change in refractive index. Alternatively, the photosensitizer in the polymeric material permits one to set an average laser power to a value that is at least two times less than an average laser power without the photosensitizer in the material, yet provide similar refractive structures.11-19-2009
20100298933Optical Material and Method for Modifying the Refractive Index - The invention is directed to an optical device comprising refractive optical structures, wherein the refractive structures are characterized by a change in refractive index, exhibit little or no scattering loss, and exhibit no significant differences in the Raman spectrum with respect to the non-irradiated optical, polymeric material.11-25-2010
20120310340Method for Modifying the Refractive Index of an Optical Material and Resulting Optical Vision Component - A method for modifying the refractive index of an optical polymeric material. The method comprises continuously irradiating predetermined regions of an optical, polymeric material with femtosecond laser pulses to form a gradient index refractive structure within the material. An optical device includes an optical, polymeric lens material having an anterior surface and posterior surface and an optical axis intersecting the surfaces and at least one laser-modified, GRIN layer disposed between the anterior surface and the posterior surface and arranged along a first axis 45° to 90° to the optical axis, and further characterized by a variation in index of refraction across at least one of at least a portion of the adjacent segments and along each segment.12-06-2012

20120310814METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR FACILITATING COMMERCIAL PAPER FUNDING VIA A COMMUNICATION NETWORK - A central computer system facilitates organizations and individuals using a communication network to negotiate commercial paper terms and to offer, sell, and buy commercial paper notes. The fundraiser/issuer uses a user device interface to input information about funding needs and repayment terms of commercial paper he intends to issue. The system, or a user device itself, generates an interface used by a potential or actual buyer that generates, or receives, a funding offer, or counteroffer in response thereto, respectively. The system facilitates generating and transmitting legal documents in the form of commercial paper notes, offerings, and sales via the communication network. The funding facilitator system can manage authentication credentials of the issuer and potential buyers to facilitate determining that either party has bound themselves to an offer, counteroffer, or acceptance. Issuer's and potential buyers' devices can authenticate the funding facilitator to verify the authenticity of a document received therefrom.12-06-2012
20120310823METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR OPERATING A SOCIAL FUNDING PLATFORM AND FOR INTERACTIVE FUNDRAISING IN A SOCIAL NETWORK ENVIRONMENT - A social network fundraising system receives a business funding request associated with one or more traits from an entrepreneur/fundee. The system selects potential/candidate funders based at least partly on a ranking corresponding to their respective relationship to the fundee. The system sends a request message successively and preferentially to groups of one or more candidate funders according to the ranking order until funding offers are received from one or more candidate funders. The system sends received offers and information identifying the funders to the entrepreneur, and may facilitate automatic negotiation between each potential funder and the entrepreneur. The ranking order may correspond to statistical similarity between traits associated with a request and traits associated with a candidate funder, as well as to social similarity between the entrepreneur and candidate funder resulting from analysis of social network profiles. The system may facilitate displaying funding status on a funder's social network profile.12-06-2012

20120086815RAPIDLY INITIALIZING AND DYNAMICALLY ADJUSTING MEDIA STREAMS - A device may generate a media stream to be shared with other users by building a media graph, comprising a series of interconnected processing units that perform various processing tasks. However, the time involved in generating the media graph may delay the initialization of the media stream, and adjusting properties of the media stream (such as resolution or codec) may result in an interruption of the media stream while a new media graph is built. Instead, a media graph cache may be provided to cache a set of media graphs, which may be interchangeably selected for rapid initialization and adjusting of media stream properties. The media component (e.g., a video camera) may also be configured to promote rapid adjustments to some media stream properties, while maintaining other properties (e.g., field of view and white balance) for a smooth transition between media stream property sets.04-12-2012
