Abstract: A method implemented by a computer means includes: obtaining a lens design; the lens design representing the variation of optical aberrations as a function of the angular view point; obtaining a set of subjective values representing the sensitivity of the user to a set of optical aberrations; and correlating the set of subjective values and the lens design based on the variation of optical aberrations so as to produce correlation information, advantageously for determining to which extent the lens design is adapted to the user from the correlation.

Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for an apparatus and method for practicing injection techniques through an injectable apparatus. The injectable apparatus may contain a camera that is configured to detect the intensity and color of light attenuated from a testing tool after it is injected into a simulated human or animal body parts. A training tool may be connected to a user display device to generate a display of the injection apparatus as well as the performance parameters of a trainee.

Abstract: A lens element intended to be worn in front of an eye of a wearer including at least a first and a second set of optical elements providing respectively a first and a second optical function. When worn by a wearer, an optical element of the first set is located at a greater distance from the center of rotation of the eye than an optical element of the second set. At least some optical elements of the second set are disposed with respect to the optical elements of the first set of the lens element to provide according to a respective first and a second gaze direction on different zones of the retina of the eye of the wearer distinct cumulative optical effects.

When worn by a wearer, an optical element of the first set is located at a greater distance from the center of rotation of the eye than an optical element of the second set.

Abstract: A lens element to be worn by a wearer and to provide a refractive power based on a prescription of the wearer is provided for correcting an abnormal refraction of the eye of the wearer, the lens element including: an optical microstructure having an optical function of not focusing an image on a retina of the eye of the wearer so as to slow down progression of the abnormal refraction of the eye of the wearer, in which a modulation transfer function of the lens element is greater or equal to 0.07 over a range of spatial frequencies from 10 to 25 cycles per degree, when measured through the optical microstructure for a pupil aperture of 4 mm centered at 6.6 mm from the optical center of the lens element. A computer-implemented method for determining a lens element to be worn by a wearer is also provided.

Abstract: The instant invention is related with new perimidine derivatives synthesized via direct condensation between naphthalene-1,8-diamine and itaconic or citraconic anhydrides at low temperature. The targeting itaco-perinone (IP) molecule formed via double low temperature cyclization has fluorescence properties emitting white light intensively. Besides, 9-methylene-8H-pyrrolo[1,2-a]perimidin-10(9H)-one is copolymerizable with several kind of organic monomer compounds via free radical mechanism maintaining the ability to emit white light even within the polymer film.

Abstract: An embodiment includes a holder assembly with terminals that are supported by insert molding. The terminals are electrically connector to conductors, which can be covered with an insulative covering, and thus provide easy to connector holder assemblies. The holder can include features that allow an LED module to be inserted into a recess in the housing and retained via a friction fit. Such a configuration allows the assembly to be shipped as an assembly without the need to solder the LED module to the holder and while still ensuring a reliable electrical connection between the LED module and the corresponding holder assembly.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for hardening an aluminum-based matrix alloy by the dispersion of metallized graphite (MG) with copper and optionally zinc or boron by the agitation in liquid state. By this means, the impregnating of MG particles (reinforcing phase) is increased, facilitating the homogenous distribution in the aluminum-base matrix alloy. The mechanical properties of aluminum or aluminum-based are increased alloys by the process of hardening by dispersion, without affecting the density and electrical conductivity of the alloy.
