Method of Manufacturing a Tear Flow Measurement Device
A lacrimal tear flow measurement device, and methods of manufacture and use, are described that includes a polymer microcapillary tube or similar structure having at least one end coated on the outside with soft silicone rubber and one end treated on the inside to be hydrophobic. The hydrophobic end keeps liquid from escaping or entering that end while allowing air to pass. The rest of the tube's insides may be hydrophilic or a neutral hydrophobe. As a Schirmer's test strip replacement, the entrance end of the device can be touched to the lacrimal lake of a patient's eye to collect suck up, or merely collect, tear fluid within the collection tube for weighing, volume measurement, or other analysis. Long-term collection devices for wear between doctors' visits can have a bypass channel allowing liquid to flow back onto the eye.
BIOSENSING COMPOSITION HAVING SENSING GLUCOSE CONTENT, CONTACT LENS AND METHOD OF PREPARATION THEREOF
A biosensing composition having sensing glucose content is provided, including a substrate, glucose oxidase, an antioxidant, heme-protein, and a molecular chromogenic chromophore. In addition, a contact lens having sensing glucose content and a method of preparation thereof are provided, so as to achieve the effect of maintaining a low discoloration in normal blood sugar and obvious discoloration in high blood sugar.

WEARABLE AND NON-CONTACT INTRAOCULAR PRESSURE (IOP) MEASUREMENT AND MONITORING SYSTEM
A system and method for non-invasively and continuously measuring an intraocular pressure, includes a wearable device designed to be worn by a user and forms an air chamber between the wearable device and the eyes of the user. The wearable device includes flexible materials to seal the air chamber around eye cavities of the user and further includes imaging sensors for collecting 2D and 3D data of the user's eyes; a pressure controller to modify an air pressure inside the air chamber with an air pump, wherein the pressure controller can be either embedded on the wearable device or is connected to the wearable device through a flexible pressure pipe; and a central controller for constructing a model of the user's eyes using 3D imaging techniques based on the collected 2D and 3D data and output intraocular pressure calculations based on the model.
SWIVEL HOSE COUPLING WITH OUTER GRIP
A water hose coupling having a swivel grip is provided. A first coupling portion with a male threaded end integral with a first larger diameter base is connected to a second coupling portion through a freely rotating connection. The second coupling portion includes a second larger diameter base. The second coupling portion further includes a coupling protrusion integral with the second larger diameter base. The coupling protrusion may have one or more barbs to interface with a hose or a threaded female coupling to interface with a male threaded connector. The coupling is connected to an end of a hose to which accessories may be attached. An outer sleeve is connected to the first larger diameter base of the first coupling portion and can freely rotate with the first coupling portion around the remainder of the apparatus and hose. The outer sleeve acts as an ergonomic grip for users to hold and rotate when using the hose and installing accessories.
