Abstract: Intraocular lens implant (10) for providing accommodation for near vision includes an optic (20) centrally disposed in a flexible membrane (30) and at least one haptic (40) outwardly extending from the flexible membrane. The flexible membrane is adapted in use to facilitate translatable movement of the optic in response to attempted accommodation by the ocular substrate.

Abstract: An aerial spray boom 11 for an aircraft includes: an elongated housing 21 secured to the aircraft wing 12, the housing having one or more openings 22 along its length; a conduit 23 having a liquid supply passage 26 and a plurality of spaced-apart nozzles 27 that are aligned with, or extend through housing openings 22, conduit 23 being mounted in said housing for arcuate movement about its longitudinal axis through a prescribed arc that defines variable spraying positions; and a conduit actuator 31 operative connected to the conduit 23 that moves the conduit relative to the housing through an arc.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for providing a confectionery pieces in a package member that reduces scuffing and promotes nibbling of the confectionery pieces wherein the confectionery pieces arranged in a matrix configuration are wrapped in a pack along at least two directions so as to form at least one layer of at least two rows in two directions with each row including a series of confectionery pieces. The package member is further adapted in tension and size around the confectionery pieces to retain the matrix configuration when closed and, conversely, is adapted to release tension sufficiently upon opening to form an open bag where the pieces move out of the matrix configuration to facilitate eating of the individual pieces. This in turn promotes nibbling of the confectionery pieces. The confectionery pieces are further shaped to promote collapsing in the package member after opening.
