International Classification:

A61F002/16

US Classification:

351200000

Abstract:

The invention includes methods and apparatus for measuring (Intraocular Pressure) IOP and (Corneal Thickness) CT for diagnosis and for monitoring a condition of health of an eye. The apparatus uses measurements selected from at least one of IOP and a CT, and a plurality of IOP measurements to deduce an interpretive result indicative of a condition of an eye. In another embodiment, the apparatus measures a relationship between an applanated area of variable size and a selected one of an applied force and an applied pressure. The relationship is used to deduce an interpretive result indicative of the condition of an eye. The result can be displayed to a practitioner. The practitioner uses the result to determine a course of treatment as necessary, and to monitor the effect of a course of treatment on the state of health of the eye over time.

International Classification:

A61B 5/02
B65D 83/08

US Classification:

600490, 221 45

Abstract:

A blood pressure cuff is defined by a sleeve member, a portion of which is inflatable and made from a fluid impermeable material. An exterior port of the sleeve directly and fluidly interconnects with the interior of said inflatable portion, wherein a slotted portion is aligned with the port to receive the port when the cuff is wrapped about the limb of a patient. The slotted portion is sized to provide a range of cuff sizes wherein the cuff can be entirely made from a biodegradable or recyclable material. A plurality of cuffs can be packaged for sequential dispensing thereof.

International Classification:

A61B 5/022

US Classification:

600490

Abstract:

A blood pressure cuff is defined by a first sheet, having an opening, and a second sheet. The second sheet is attached to a bottom of the first sheet to form an interior inflatable portion between the first sheet and the second sheet, with the opening of the first sheet fluidly interconnecting the interior inflatable portion with an exterior of the cuff. The blood pressure cuff is made from a single type of material and can be recycled, biodegradable, or composted.

US Classification:

600499

Abstract:

A blood pressure cuff is defined by a first sheet and a second sheet. The first sheet has a first interior-inflatable surface attached to a second interior-inflatable surface of the second sheet to form an interior-inflatable portion between the first sheet and second sheet.

International Classification:

H05K 334

US Classification:

29840

Abstract:

A method for fabricating a chip carrier and attaching the chip carrier to a printed circuit board is disclosed. A plated through hole (PTH) is formed through a chip carrier substrate. The PTH has surface lands on opposite surfaces of the substrate. Next, at least one of the surfaces of the substrate is covered with a dielectric material. The dielectric material at least partially fills the PTH. A solder ball is attached to the surface land on the opposite side as the dielectric material. Then, a printed circuit board is positioned relative to the chip carrier such that the solder ball contacts a surface land of the printed circuit board. Then, the solder is reflowed. Because the solder is reflowed while the dielectric material at least partially fills the PTH, the dielectric material within the PTH prevents the solder from flowing entirely through the PTH. This prevents contamination of the opposite surface of the chip carrier.
