Filed:

Feb 17, 2009

Appl. No.:

12/372157

Inventors:

Carl Hyunsuk Park - Philadelphia PA, US
Jay Leonard Federman - Philadelphia PA, US
Michael Thomas Trese - Bloomfield Hills MI, US
Antonio Capone, JR. - Birmingham MI, US
Kimberly Alyson Drenser - Bloomfield MI, US

International Classification:

G06Q 50/00
A61B 3/14

US Classification:

705 3, 351206, 705 2

Abstract:

Systems and methods utilize computing devices to generate diagnoses of medical conditions. The computing devices can incorporate algorithms based on predetermined relationships between the medical conditions and various symptoms or characteristics associated with the medical conditions. The computing devices can prompt an individual evaluating patient information to observe whether the characteristics or symptoms are present in the patient information. The individual can subsequently provide inputs to the computing device indicating whether the characteristics or symptoms are present in the patient information.

US Patent:

53180119, Jun 7, 1994

Filed:

Feb 4, 1992

Appl. No.:

7/831129

Inventors:

Jay L. Federman - Philadelphia PA
Kenneth P. Cook - Blue Bell PA

Assignee:

Escalon Ophthalmics, Inc. - Skillman NJ

International Classification:

A61B 1702

US Classification:

128 20

Abstract:

An iris dilator includes a body formed of an expansile material being expandable from a dehydrated first size and shape to a hydrated second size and shape. When hydrated, the dilator has a shape complementary to an inside diameter of the iris and a size sufficient to dilate the iris. In addition, a mammalian iris may be dilated by inserting the at least partially dehydrated iris dilator described above into a position radially inwardly from the iris where, in the presence of bodily or surgical fluids, the dilator hydrates and expands to engage and dilate the iris. An apparatus for deforming the dilator to facilitate insertion in use includes top and bottom surfaces which engage top and bottom sides of the dilator, respectively, at least one depression member for forming a depressed area on an edge of the dilator and at least one retainer member for retaining a non-depressed area on the edge of the dilator.

Appl. No.:

7/672972

Inventors:

Jay L. Federman - Philadelphia PA

Assignee:

Escalon Ophthalmics, Inc. - Skillman NJ

International Classification:

A61K 4700

US Classification:

514772

Abstract:

Foreign substances may be removed from a mammalian body cavity containing an aqueous phase by injecting into the cavity a water-immiscible, optically clear, biocompatible debridement fluid to at least partially displace the aqueous phase, and removing the aqueous phase and the foreign substances. In addition, a method is provided for visualizing a transparent foreign substance in a mammalian body cavity using a water-immiscible, optically clear, biocompatible fluid having a refractive index different from that of water. The debridement fluid may also be used to reposition desirable substances, such as a lens in an ocular cavity, or to remove a secondary membrane from a cavity lining or structure. Preferably, a liquid heavier than water, such as a perfluorocarbon liquid, is used as the debridement fluid.
