Title: Apparatus, system, and method for preventing computer vision syndrome
Inventor: YEE RICHARD W
IPC: A61F9/00
Filed: 1999-04-14
Granted: 2010-07-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a system, apparatus, and method for preventing Computer Vision Syndrome (CVS) that addresses the various causes of CVS. To help maintain a proper preocular tear film the present invention provides a device to generate a blink reminder signal and a blink indicator, such as a light, a speaker, or a portion of a display monitor, to communicate the blink reminder signal to the computer user. The device may incorporate feedback devices such as a blink monitor, a temperature monitor, a humidity monitor, an elasped time monitor, or a clock. The present invention also provides an eye enclosure that defines an enclosed area about the computer user's eye that is at least partially enclosed. The invention incorporates components aimed at optimizing the environment within the enclosed area. For example, air moisterners communicating with the enclosed area maintain a relatively high humidity within the enclosed area and reduce the evaporation of fluid from the eyes. The moistening fluid may be adapted to the particular needs of the individual and other conditions, such as temperature, may also be controlled.  Also, the composition of the tear film may be manipulted using the moistening fluid or a small pellet placed in the cul de sac of the user's eye to help maintain a proper tear film or otherwise change the tear film characteristics.

Granted: 2005-01-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to the treatment of cancer with compounds that inhibit the activity of endo-exonuclease. Endo-exonuclease has been shown to be necessary for the repair of damaged DN A. Compounds that inhibit the activity of endo-exonuclease have been shown to be particularly effective for treating cancer when used in combination with drugs that induce DNA breaks such as cisplatin and mitomycin C. These compounds have a synergistic effect when used in combination for inhibiting tumour growth. The invention includes pharmaceutical compositions for inhibiting tumour growth comprising a compound that inhibits endo-exonuclease activity. These pharmaceutical compositions preferably include compounds that induce DNA breaks. The invention includes methods of treating cancer with these pharmaceutical compositions and uses of these compositions to treat cancer. The preferred compounds that inhibit the activity of endo-exonuclease have l ow toxicity. One such compound is pentamidine. The invention also includes a method for diagnosing cancer and monitoring its progression. This aspect of the invention involves isolating serum from a patient; measuring the concentration of endo-exonuclease in sai d serum and determining whether said concentration is above a predetermined mean.
