Abstract: An adaptive lens (200) may feature two flexible films (202), (204) secured within a rim (210) and defining a space therebetween which is filled with an appropriate fluid (206). A piston (220), driven by at least one actuator (214a-c), may be attached to one of the films (204) to displace it with respect to the remainder of the assembly. Such action of the piston (220) distorts both films (202), (204) to change the shape of the lens and may be driven by bimorph actuators (214a-c). Distance of displacement may be calculated by measuring a magnetic field created by at least one magnet (222a-c) attached to the piston (220). Feedback control may be used to stabilize the apparatus.

Abstract: An integrated application management platform manages applications, such as mobile apps, during various stages in their lifecycle, such as development, testing, deployment, usage by end-users, maintenance, and/or retirement of the applications. The platform integrates the management of various aspects and elements of the lifecycle of multiple applications. The platform may include a dashboard with any suitable number of screens to enable monitoring of the portfolio of applications in the various stages of their lifecycles. The platform may also provide automation to manage the applications during the various stages of their lifecycle. The platform facilitates managing a portfolio of applications by managing and presenting information regarding application deployment status, deployment status, testing status, security aspects (e.g.
