Abstract: The present invention provides a novel attachable lighting accessory, which has never been proposed before for increasing luminance when a mobile electronic device the lighting accessory is attached to is used in a low light environment. By disposing a front lighting device and a back lighting device on the accessory, when a user utilizes a common front camera to build up video conferencing, the front lighting device helps to illuminate the user's face and increase luminance. As for the user using a common back camera to do video or photo shooting, the back lighting device helps to increase luminance of the ambient environment, so that the video or photo shot performs high quality. For optimal viewing, illumination level of the front and back lighting device are adjustable, and a variety of interchangeable optical lens can be further disposed to modify their light beam morphology and characteristics.

Abstract: A securing accessory being adapted to a mobile electronic device is provided. The securing accessory includes a base pedestal and a supporting brace connected to the base pedestal. The supporting brace is attachable and detachable to the mobile electronic device and comprises a pair of arms which is able to grab onto the mobile electronic device and to provide frontal and/or lateral alignment for adequate securement. The pair of arms is spring-loaded for further providing mechanical force that compresses frontally and/or laterally to a direction of accessory insertion when mating the accessory with the mobile electronic device. By employing the pair of spring-loaded arms, the present invention is extraordinarily advantageous of being adapted to different mobile electronic devices having different thickness and meanwhile maintaining adequate securement and convenience in use while implementation.

Abstract: Biodegradable polymeric microparticle compositions containing one or more active agents, especially those useful for treating or preventing one or more diseases or disorders of the eye, and methods of making and using thereof, are described. In a preferred embodiment, the microparticle compositions contain one or more active agents useful for managing elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) in the eye. Relatively hydrophilic, and preferably carboxylated, polymeric materials such as PLGA are used for a drug such as timolol maleate, which is relatively water soluble, to increase drug loading. Higher molecular weight polymers, as well as the ratio of LA (which has a longer degradation time, up to one to two years) to GA (which has a short degradation time, as short as a few days to a week), are used to provide release over a longer period of time.

Abstract: A self-defense flashlight includes sharp edges positioned around the head end. A sharp edge protector can be positioned so as to surround and protect the sharp edges, when the flashlight is not being used for self-defense purposes. When needed, the sharp edge protector can be moved so as to expose the sharp edges, allowing the flashlight to be used as a weapon. The protectable sharp edges can also be positioned around the tail end of the self-defense flashlight.

With this method, methionine enkephalin is administered to the patient at least one time per week for a first time period, where the first time period is at least three weeks. In one embodiment, the first time period is one or two months. Methionine enkephalin is then administered to the patient one time per month for a second time period, where the second time period is at least one month, and where the second time period is consecutive to the first time period. In one embodiment, the total term of methionine enkephalin treatment is at least six months. Methionine enkephalin may be administered to the patient at the same time as, before, or after administration of radiation or chemotherapy.
