Lens with variable refraction power for the human eye

ActiveUS20120092612A1Power of lens may increaseIncrease refractive powerSpectales/goggles3D rigid printed circuitsIntraocular lensControl signal
The present invention comprises a lens with variable refraction power as well as an optical system for the use as, preferably accommodating, visual aid. The lens is designed as an intraocular lens or as a contact lens. The general idea of the invention is to determine the accommodation requirement from the position of the eyes relative to one another. This is possible, since the accommodation requirement and the eyes' motor activity are closely related. According to a first embodiment, the present invention claims a lens with variable refraction power, which possesses the following components: means for adaptation of the refraction power, especially by a change of the lens' curvature as a reaction to a control signal; at least one position locator; means for detection of the relative position of the position locator to at least another position locator arranged on another lens; means for generation of the control signal for adaptation of the refraction power of the lens to the detected relative position and at least one device for power supply for at least parts of the components of the lens.

Methods for liquid transfer coating of three-dimensional substrates

Methods here disclosed provide for selectively coating the top surfaces or ridges of a 3-D substrate while avoiding liquid coating material wicking into micro cavities on 3-D substrates. The substrate includes holes formed in a three-dimensional substrate by forming a sacrificial layer on a template. The template includes a template substrate with posts and trenches between the posts. The steps include subsequently depositing a semiconductor layer and selectively etching the sacrificial layer. Then, the steps include releasing the semiconductor layer from the template and coating the 3-D substrate using a liquid transfer coating step for applying a liquid coating material to a surface of the 3-D substrate. The method may further include coating the 3-D substrate by selectively coating the top ridges or surfaces of the substrate. Additional features may include filling the micro cavities of the substrate with a filling material, removing the filling material to expose only the substrate surfaces to be coated, coating the substrate with a layer of liquid coating material, and removing said filling material from the micro cavities of the substrate.
