International Classification:

A61M 5/00

US Classification:

604 9, 604 8

Abstract:

An implantable glaucoma drainage device (GDD) system is disclosed. The GDD system comprises a microflow control system for controlling intraocular pressure, a protective capillary carrier tube housing the microflow control system, and anchoring arms holding the implanted device in place. The overall GDD size can be in a needle-implantable form factor for minimally invasive implantation. The GDD may be implanted via subconjunctival needle implantation to mimic the normal aqueous humor drainage pathway.

International Classification:

G06T 11/00

US Classification:

345467000

Abstract:

Limited devices have memories that are typically too small to store a complete font having an extended character set. The ability to handle necessary characters can be provided by leveraging connectivity of a limited device to a PC or server without requiring significant bandwidth or substantially reducing performance of the limited device. The limited device stores portions a font (typically on a character-by-character basis) and downloads information from the server as needed to display characters for which the limited device does not have sufficient information.

International Classification:

G06Q 30/02

US Classification:

705 144

Abstract:

A system and a method are disclosed for displaying an image during an operation of an accelerated media playback (e.g., fast-forward or reverse) such that the image appears concurrently with a cue signaling a resume point. First, a video frame within an advertisement is identified from a plurality of advertisements. The video frame contains the cue and indicates a resume point for media content. Additionally, an image is embedded on the video frame such that the video frame, the cue and the image are displayed for less than a second during accelerated media playback, such as a fast-forward operation. The presence of the action cue or resume cue presented concurrently with the advertisement assists viewers in preferentially recalling the product related to the image.

US Classification:

137 1518, 137511

Abstract:

Microfluidic normally closed check valves and methods of making and using the same are provided. The check valves include an orifice, an occluding portion, and one or more attachment members which urge the occluding portion into a position occluding the orifice. In various embodiments, the attachment member or members are pre-stressed by thermal annealing to introduce tensile stress of at least 800 PSI therewithin, thereby increasing the cracking pressure of the valve

International Classification:

G06F 17/00

US Classification:

715234

Abstract:

Methods for highlighting tappable web page elements in response to a touch detect a touch to a touchscreen display, determine that a touched element displayed at the touch location, and determine whether and how the touched element is to be highlighted. Highlighting can be based on various touched element properties. In one embodiment, if a touched element is not tappable, the element is not highlighted. If the touched element is editable, the element is highlighted. A region around the touch location is highlighted if the touched element is an image map or SVG element and a portion of the element at the touch location is tappable. A touched element is also highlighted if the element has an inline display style or is a highlight element type. The touched element is not highlighted if its size and complexity exceed size and complexity thresholds.
