| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 8184867 | Method and system for biometric identification or verification The invention relates to a method for the biometric identification or verification of people. According to said method, biometric characteristics are detected by means of an imaging device and the identification or verification is carried out by means of the detecte... | 05/22/2012 |
| 8137271 | System and method for assessing risk of glaucoma onset A system and method for predicting the onset of glaucoma uses a Finite Element Model (FEM) to obtain a response profile of the Optical Nerve Head (ONH) inside an eye. To do this, the FEM is programmed with data from first and second images of the ONH that are respec... | 03/20/2012 |
| 8020994 | Custom phase plate A custom phase plate for a light beam of wavelength “λ” includes a sheet of plastic material having a base refractive index “no”. Formed onto a surface of the sheet is a plurality of contiguous spots having different refractive indices. Together,... | 09/20/2011 |
| 7988295 | Laser control with phase plate feedback An ophthalmic imaging system includes a light source, focusing optics, compensating optics, and a computer that coordinates both of the optics to optimize the Diffraction Limited Point Spread Function (DL-PSF) of the imaging light beam. In detail, the compensating o... | 08/02/2011 |
| 7971999 | Method and apparatus for retinal diagnosis The invention relates to a method and an appliance for examination of the retina, with two-dimensional images of the retina being produced. The invention is based on the object of designing the method and the apparatus so as to allow comprehensive examination and di... | 07/05/2011 |
| 7800760 | System and method for high resolution imaging of cellular detail in the retina A system and method for imaging tissue cells at a predetermined depth in the retina of an eye include components that provide for compensation of refractive errors. Specifically, the system basically includes three subassemblies that operate in concert with each oth... | 09/21/2010 |
| 7798641 | Finite element model of a keratoconic cornea A system and method for diagnosing the onset of keratoconus in a cornea requires subjecting the cornea of an eye to a pressure that changes its shape. A topography of the cornea's anterior surface (possibly, the posterior surface also) is mapped. The mapped topograp... | 09/21/2010 |
| 7703923 | System and method for imaging retinal tissue with tissue generated light A system and method for imaging retinal tissues in an eye generates an input light beam having ultra-short pulses and an input wavelength (λi) to stimulate the tissue. Depending on the particular type tissue being imaged, the retinal tissue responds to t... | 04/27/2010 |
| 7611244 | Adaptive optics for compensating for optical aberrations in an imaging process A device to compensate for asymmetrical aberrations in a beam of light includes at least one dual compensator positioned on the beam path. Structurally, the dual compensator includes two juxtaposed plates, each having a same pattern presented thereon. The patterns, ... | 11/03/2009 |
| 7203351 | Analysis of optic nerve head shape Methods and apparatus are provided for analysis of 3-dimensional images of an optic nerve head surface topography. Topographic images of the optic nerve head may be analysed to define a topographic model fitted to the topographic image of the optic nerve head about ... | 04/10/2007 |
