The invention relates to devices, compositions and methods used to improve vision and / or to treat an eye lens disease or condition. In some embodiments, the invention relates to altering or removing eye lens material for the treatment of presbyopia. In additional embodiments, the invention relates to placing compositions in a lens of an eye to improve elasticity of the lens both therapeutically by improving elasticity and / or improving refractive properties and / or prophylactically by preventing renewed stiffening and / or renewed deterioration of the lens refractive properties. In further embodiments, the invention relates to devices and methods of obtaining and analyzing data for use in altering the lens to optimize its elasticity and / or refractive properties.

A metal film composed of multiple atomic layers continuously formed by atomic layer deposition of Ru and Ta or Ti includes at least a top section and a bottom section, wherein an atomic composition of Ru, Ta or Ti, and N varies in a thickness direction of the metal film. The atomic composition of Ru, Ta or Ti, and N in the top section is represented as Ru(x1)Ta / Ti(y1)N(z1) wherein an atomic ratio of Ru(x1) / (Ta / Ti(y1)) is no less than 15, and z1 is 0.05 or less. The atomic composition of Ru, Ta or Ti, and N in the bottom section is represented as Ru(x2)Ta / Ti(y2)N(z2) wherein an atomic ratio of Ru(x2) / (Ta / Ti(y2)) is more than zero but less than 15, and z2 is 0.10 or greater.

A knowledge based, computer-aided system and method is disclosed for simulating any set of linear or nonlinear simultaneous parametric dependencies. The preferred embodiment creates a model and provides an estimate of the material properties of materials comprising thin films disposed on semiconductor materials. However the system and method are suitable for creating a model and providing an estimate of the physical properties of materials undergoing other material fabrication processes that are dependent on several parameters. The method is suitable for implementation on exisitng general purpose computers. The method involves the general steps of entering parameter values for the material being subjected to the fabrication process, interrelating the user provided parameter values with a database of stored parameter values, calculating numerical solutions for the interrelated parameter and property values according to an Estimation Routine, and providing an output of numerical and graphical data relating to the desired physical properties. The system is capable of being implemented to include a dual hierarchical feedback and feed-foreward loop where a control system uses the Estimation Routine to determine what additional data acquisition is required. Such a feedback loop could also be employed in conjunction with this method to yield an optimized value for the material properties in question.

A transfer printing process that exploits the mismatch in mechanical or thermo-mechanical response at the interface of a printable micro- or nano-device and a transfer stamp to drive the release of the device from the stamp and its non-contact transfer to a receiving substrate are provided. The resulting facile, pick-and-place process is demonstrated with the assembling of 3-D microdevices and the printing of GAN light-emitting diodes onto silicon and glass substrates. High speed photography is used to provide experimental evidence of thermo-mechanically driven release.
