Systems and methods for determining the quality of a reproduced (manufactured) optic device
A method for assessing the similarity between a power profile of a manufactured optic device and a nominal power profile upon which the power profile of the manufactured optic device is based. The method comprises measuring the power profile of manufactured optic device, identifying a region of interest from the measured power profile of manufactured optic device, and applying an offset to the measured power profile to substantially minimize a statistical quantifier for quantifying the similarity between the nominal power profile and the offset measured power profile. The method further comprises comparing the offset and the statistical quantifier to predefined quality control metrics, determining whether the measured power profile meets the predefined quality control metrics based, at least in part on the comparison. In exemplary embodiments, the method may further comprise determining whether to associate the manufactured optic device with another nominal power profile, if the measured power profile does not meet the predefined quality control metrics.
Method for inspecting the water content and oxygen transmissibility of an ophthalmic lens and optical inspecting system for inspecting an ophthalmic lens
The present invention provides a method for inspecting the water content and oxygen transmissibility of an ophthalmic lens and an optical inspecting system for inspecting an ophthalmic lens. Through the voltage variation from the measurement of transmitted light the water content and oxygen transmissibility of an ophthalmic lens are obtained. The oxygen transmissibility of the ophthalmic lens which is not under the specific condition specified by the standardized inspecting method can also be obtained.
DETERMINING FACIAL METRICS OF A PATIENT AND IDENTIFYING A CUSTOM MASK FOR THE PATIENT THEREFROM
A method of determining facial metrics of a patient includes: capturing a first image of the patient with an image capturing device positioned in a first known position with the assistance of a positioning device, capturing a second image of the patient with the image capturing device positioned in a second known position different that the first known position with the assistance of the positioning device, and determining facial metrics of the patient by analyzing the first image and the second image.

Non-contact measurement device for radius of curvature and thickness of lens and measurement method thereof
The present disclosure illustrates a non-contact measurement device for a radius of curvature and a thickness of a lens and a measurement method thereof. The non-contact measurement device utilizes a non-contact probe to integrate a motor, an optical scale and an electronic control module, so as to achieve measurement for the radius of curvature and the thickness of the lens. The present disclosure adopts astigmatism to achieve fast and precise focusing. To overcome the spherical aberration problem, thickness measurement can be implemented by the non-contact measurement device through a formula calculation and utilization of a correction plate, wherein single one probe is used for the measurement herein. For the thicker lens, the non-contact measurement device can be extended to use dual probes, so as to detect the top and bottom sides of the lens.
Light-Based Mechanism For Optical Indicator Guides
An optical guide has at least two surfaces in serial in front of a light source in order to diffract a light beam from the light source twice. The first surface could split the light beam into several parallel light beams along a first axis, and the second surface could split the light beams into several points of light along a second axis, and so on and so forth. By rotating the surfaces relative to one another and by adjusting the distance between the diffraction surfaces, a user of the optical guide could adjust the angle of the axis points and adjust a relative distance of the points of light relative to one another. These light beams could provide convenient guides for users in a variety of applications.
Test device and method for testing contact lens and test device for testing hydrous element
A test device for testing a first contact lens classified as a specific type of contact lens is disclosed. The test device includes a light emitting unit and a detection unit. The light emitting unit emits a first incident light to the first contact lens to generate a first reflected light having a first light intensity, and the detection unit receives the first reflected light, in response to the first light intensity generates a first light intensity value, and implements a specific water content algorithm based on the first light intensity value to estimate an actual water content associated with the first contact lens, wherein the specific water content algorithm is constructed based on a water content reference data associated with the specific type of contact lens and a corresponding light intensity measurement data associated with the water content reference data.
Position monitoring of a gasket between tunnel segments
A method and sensor system for monitoring in time a geometric property of a gasket (32, 34) that sealingly interconnects two structural members (20, 21) of a subterraneous or immersed tunnel (10). The system includes a sensor (42) for measuring position indications for surface portions (48) of the gasket relative to a reference (26, 27, 47) associated with one or both structural members, and a processor (44) that is coupled with the sensor to receive the position indications. The processor is configured to derive indications of displacement (?Y) for each of the gasket surface portions based on the measured indications of position, to compare the indications of displacement for each of the gasket surface portions with at least one threshold value (Ty), and to generate a warning message for an operator if at least one of the indications of displacement transgresses the at least one threshold value.
