Alpins has obtained a number of patents on the method;〔(Google search Noel+Alpins+Patents )〕 these patents are programmed into a commercially available ophthalmic surgical analysis system, called ASSORT〔(ASSORT.com )〕 (Alpins Statistical System for Ophthalmic Refractive Surgery Techniques), designed to help plan and analyze the results of refractive, corneal, and cataract surgical procedures, and also underpin astigmatism analysis approaches developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Astigmatism Project Group. Alpins' most recent publication (with Stamatelatos) introduces a technique known as CorT. ==Professional honors and achievements== Alpins has published many articles in the peer-reviewed literature.〔 or 〕〔(Selection of downloadable peer-reviewed papers )〕 He is well known in his field throughout the world, serving on the editorial boards of a number of ophthalmic publications, such as the ''Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery, EuroTimes, Ocular Surgery News'', and the ''Journal of the Indian Intraocular Implant & Refractive Society''.〔(''Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery'' editorial board ).
