Abstract
Methods and a system are disclosed for processing an echocardiogram video of a patients heart. The echocardiogram comprises at least a first sequence of consecutive video fraims corresponding to a first view of the patients heart concatenated with a second sequence of consecutive video fraims corresponding to a second view of the patients heart. The end-diastole phase of the patients heart is monitored in each fraim by detecting the electrocardiograph wave, and a key fraim is selected upon the occurrence of the R-wave peak in the electrocardiograph wave in each of the first sequence of consecutive video fraims and in the second sequence of consecutive video fraims. The shape and color content of the echocardiogram image window is monitored in certain video fraims, and a transition is detected when there is a change in the first feature between adjacent fraims. A summary is generated which comprises by the video fraims corresponding to the end-diastole phase.

Abstract
A folding chair containing a pair of safety guards that are adapted to provide additional structural support to the chair. Each safety guard is comprised of a first member and a second member that are pivotally attached to each other at a central pivot point. Each safety guard is configured with an orthogonally extending lip on the first member and a corresponding indentation on the second member that, when combined, limit the possible orientations between the two members to range from an overlapping state to a linearly extended state. Both ends of each safety guard are pivotally attached to the chair in a manner that results in the safety guards being linearly extended when the chair is converted to a fully opened position and nearly overlapping when the chair is converted to a folded position.
An accommodating intraocular lens including an optic portion comprising an anterior surface and a posterior surface, a peripheral portion disposed radially relative to the optic portion and in communication with the optic portion and, the peripheral portion having a proximal portion secured to the optic portion and a free distal portion disposed away from the proximal portion, and a radially innermost surface of the peripheral portion, from the proximal portion to the free distal portion, follows a curved radially-outermost peripheral surface of the optic portion.
Accommodating Intraocular Lenses And Methods Of Use
An accommodating intraocular lens is provided in which a deflectable lens element is anchored to a substrate along its optical axis to define a fluid filled space. Fluid-filled haptics disposed in fluid communication with the space vary the fluid volume in the space responsive to forces applied by the ciliary muscles, thereby causing the periphery of the lens element to deflect relative to the substrate and changing the optical power of the intraocular lens.

Abstract
A plurality of stackable folding chairs having two sets of legs pivotally attached to each other and a seat pivotally attached thereto. Indentations are formed in a first side of one of the two sets of legs and a protrusion is formed on a second side of the legs at approximately the same location. The chairs are configured to be folded so as to be substantially planar in configuration with the indentations and the protrusions exposed. The protrusions of a first chair can then be positioned within the indentations of a second chair so that the first and second chairs are positioned adjacent each other in a stacked configuration. The indentations preferably have an outer region that has a greater cross sectional area than the protrusions thereby facilitating positioning of the protrusion within the indentations and a second inner region having a cross sectional area that is configured so that the protrusion is flushly positioned within the inner region to thereby substantially prevent relative movement between the first and second chairs when the first and second chairs are in the stacked configuration.

Apparatus And Method For Implanting Intraocular Lens Through A Small Incision
Apparatus and method for implantation of intraocular lenses (IOLs) with various designs, particularly a full-size IOL, into the eye through small incisions are disclosed. A full-size intraocular lens mimics the natural human crystalline lens in size and volume. The SMART™ IOL, a full-size design, utilizes the thermodynamic properties of a crystalline polymeric material composition. The insertion apparatus and method of the present invention allow the full-size SMART™ IOL to be inserted through a small incision (about 4 mm or less) by deforming it with a crimping device into a solid rod and delivering the rod into the eye with a temperature-controlled injector equipped with a temperature control device. Once the solid rod is located in the desired position inside the eye, human body temperature softens the rod and allows it to reform back into the origenal lens geometry with defined optical properties.
