An ab interno method for transscleral photodisruption of tissue on the interior surface of the sclera includes selecting a wavelength for a laser beam. The selected wavelength may be either from a first range of wavelengths (0.4-1.4 mu m) which is normally strongly scattered as it is transmitted through the sclera, or from a second range of longer wavelengths (1.5-2.5 mu m) which is less scatter...

An ophthalmic applanator for treatment of corneal lamellar flaps/caps includes a disc having a concave bottom surface with a curvature flatter than the curvature of the external surface of the cornea of the eye and steeper than the curvature of the surface of the sclera of an eye and a concave or convex top surface. The radius of curvature of the bottom surface produces a radiating pressure of hig...

The invention relates to an electro-optical liquid-crystal display having a realignment layer for realigning the liquid crystals whose field has a significant component parallel to the liquid-crystal layer and which contains a liquid-crystalline medium of positive dielectric anisotropy, where the medium comprises at least one mesogenic compound containing a 3,4,5-trifluorophenyl group and/or compr...

A flat compact loop pattern provides an antenna for radio frequency identification tags with an enhanced voltage and/or current across two closely adjacently spaced terminals which are disposed on the same side of an insulating substrate. The amount of voltage supplied by the antenna loop to the RFID tag depends not only on the surface area included within the loop but also on the length of the pl...

A drive circuit that produces an over-voltage signal and protects circuit components from the over-voltage signal (i.e., such that circuit components operate within process specification limits). A photosensitive pixel cell can be driven by the drive circuit. Use of the drive circuit increases dynamic range of the pixel cell and reduces "ghost images." Control logic selectively passes an over-volt...
