摘要:
Noninvasive methods and apparatuses measuring the intraocular pressure (IOP) of the eye using vibratory excitation are disclosed. Prior art methods teaches that the natural frequencies of the eye vary as a function of the IOP, with each natural frequency being zero at zero IOP. The present invention recognizes that the eye has different and separate classes of natural frequencies that vary as function of the IOP, which have non-zero values for a zero value of IOP, and which have curves that extrapolate to negative IOPs to obtain zero values of frequency. Preferred methods and apparatuses of the present invention measure a first natural frequency of this class at an unknown IOP value, and thereafter compare it to one or more known values of the first natural frequency measured at corresponding known IOPs to estimate value of the unknown IOP. Preferred embodiments include measuring one or more additional natural frequencies.

A method of producing a crystalline substrate based device includes forming a microstructure on a crystalline substrate. At least one packaging layer is sealed over the microstructure by an adhesive and defines therewith at least one gap between the crystalline substrate and the at least one packaging layer.

摘要:
A crystalline substrate based device includes a crystalline substrate having formed thereon a microstructure, and a transparent packaging layer which is sealed over the microstructure by an adhesive and defines therewith at least one gap between the crystalline substrate and the packaging layer. The microstructure receives light via the transparent packaging layer.
