Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens includes an optic portion a haptic portion and a backstop. The optic portion of the lens includes an actuator that deflects a lens element to alter the optical power of the lens responsive to forces applied to the haptic portion of the lens by contraction of the ciliary muscles. Forces applied to the haptic portion may result in fluid displacements from or to the haptic portion from the actuator. The backstop provides support to the haptic so that bulk translation of the haptic is prevented in response to the forces applied by the capsular sac.

Abstract: A gas switch includes an anode and a cathode spaced apart from the anode, wherein the cathode includes a conduction surface. The gas switch also includes a plurality of magnets arranged to generate a magnetic field that defines an annular path over a portion of the conduction surface at a radial distance from a switch axis, and a control grid positioned between the anode and the cathode. In operation, the control grid is arranged to establish a conducting plasma between the anode and the cathode, wherein, in the presence of the conducting plasma, a voltage drop between the anode and the cathode is less than 150 volts, and wherein the conducting plasma forms a cathode spot that circles the annular path.

Abstract: A water-soluble pouch suitable for use in machine dishwashing and which comprises a plurality of compartments in generally superposed or superposable relationship, each containing one or more detergent active or auxiliary components, and wherein the pouch has a volume of from about 5 to about 70 ml and a longitudinal/transverse aspect ratio in the range from about 2:1 to about 1:8, preferably from about 1:1 to about 1:4. The water-soluble pouch allows for optimum delivery of dishwashing detergent. A process for the manufacture of multi-compartment pouches and a pack to contain the pouches are also disclosed.

Abstract: Methods of adjusting an intraocular lens after implantation. In some embodiments the methods include positioning an accommodating intraocular lens within an eye, the intraocular lens comprising an optic portion in fluid communication with a peripheral chamber, wherein movement of a fluid between the peripheral chamber and the optic portion in response to ciliary muscle movement changes the optical power of the lens, and reducing a power of the intraocular lens by causing the fluid to move between the optic portion and the peripheral chamber, wherein the reduction in power of the intraocular lens is not in response to ciliary muscle movement, and wherein the positioning step occurs prior to reducing the power.

Abstract: An embodiment in accordance with the present invention provides an apparatus and method for inserting a lens into pocket in the cornea. The apparatus includes a handle, a plunger extending movably through the lumen of the handle, and a first and a second actuators. In particular the plunger includes a distal segment which extends beyond the distal end of the handle and the first and second actuators are coupled to the plunger configured in such a way to provide different ranges of motion and synchronized movement of a bottom, middle, and top tines of the plunger for improved and safer lens insertion into the corneal pocket.

Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens including an optic portion comprising an anterior surface and a posterior surface, a peripheral portion disposed radially relative to the optic portion and in communication with the optic portion and, the peripheral portion having a proximal portion secured to the optic portion and a free distal portion disposed away from the proximal portion, and a radially innermost surface of the peripheral portion, from the proximal portion to the free distal portion, follows a curved radially-outermost peripheral surface of the optic portion.

Abstract: A process for making a single or multi-compartment water-soluble cleaning pouch, the pouch comprising an enveloping material and a detergent composition, the detergent composition comprising a cohesive powder and having a low pH, the process comprising the steps of: i) making a first open compartment and filling the first open compartment with a homogeneous free-flowing powder comprising the cohesive powder in the form of a secondary particle wherein at least 80% of the homogeneous free-flowing powder has a weight average particle size of from about 250 to about 850 ?m with less than about 10% by weight of the particles below about 150 ?m and less than about 5% by weight of the particles above about 1180 ?m and wherein the powder has a cake strength of less than about 20 N; ii) optionally making a second open compartment and filing the second open compartment with a liquid; and iii) closing the open compartment(s) to make a pouch.

Abstract: A process for making a multi-compartment water-soluble automatic dishwashing cleaning pouch, the pouch comprising an enveloping material and a detergent composition, the detergent composition has a low pH and comprises a lime soap dispersing agent, the process comprising the steps of: i) making a first open compartment and filling the first open compartment with a liquid composition having a viscosity of from about 1 to about 500 mPa s at 23° C. wherein the liquid composition comprises more than 20% by weight of the liquid of an aqueous lime soap dispersing agent and has a pH of less than 10; ii) making a second open compartment and filing the second open compartment with a powder; and iii) closing the open compartments to make a pouch.

Abstract: An accommodating intraocular lens includes an optic portion, a haptic portion. The optic portion of the lens includes an actuator that deflects a lens element to alter the optical power of the lens responsive to forces applied to the haptic portion of the lens by contraction of the ciliary muscles and a secondary deflection mechanism. Movement of the lens element by the actuator causes the lens element to deform and the secondary deflection mechanism causes the lens to further deform.
