Title: Computerized refraction and astigmatism determination
Inventor: STEVEN P LEE
IPC: A61B3/11
Filed: 2014-03-03
Abstract: A system for determining a corrective lenses prescription for a subject without the use of a refractor lens assembly. The system comprising: a memory that stores the subject’s vision information that includes a previous corrective-lens prescription; a server communicatively coupled to the memory; a hand held portable electronic device; and a computerised screen. The server presents through the hand-held-device or the screen, a distance the subject is to be positioned from the screen. The subject uses the hand-held-device to interact with the screen to perform a vision test. The server causes the hand-held-device to prompt the subject to access, via the display, a server related webpage to view a unique identifier for entry into the hand-held-device. The hand-held-device and display are separate from each other, each being separately in communication with the server. The server receives data submitted by the subject via the hand-held-device in response to the screen displayed vision test. The server determines an axis, a cylinder and a sphere prescription for each eye based upon: (i).the data, and (ii).the previous corrective-lens prescription, and also provides a corrective-lens prescription based upon those axis, cylinder and sphere prescriptions for each eye.Preferably, the hand-held-device is a smartphone.

Title: Electrical powered machine
Inventor: DARREN PASSMORE
IPC: E04F21/10
Filed: 2021-12-14
Abstract: An electrically-powered machine suitable for distributing substances, such as applying textured plaster or render to internal or external surfaces. The machine comprises a water-tight motor 1 that drives the rotation of a roller blade 7, which, as it rotates, picks up the substance from the interior of the machine and ‘flicks’ it out of an opening 5 in the machine housing. Flaps 6 are positioned around the opening 5 to prevent the substance from being applied to surfaces that are not required to be coated. The motor 1 can be driven by 110V or 240V electricity supply from a power lead 3; and can have three speed settings to allow the roller blade to rotate, and therefore distribute plaster/render, at three different speeds. The flaps 6 can be hingedly-attached to the machine housing.
