Abstract: An ophthalmic assembly for implantation in an anterior chamber of an eye of a patient to provide accommodation of the vision to said patient comprises a variable-focus lens and an actuator for modifying the focal length of the variable-focus lens. The ophthalmic assembly comprises an autofocus system configured to determine a distance parameter of an object that the patient's eye is looking at; a signal processing unit arranged to convert said distance parameter into a focal length value of the variable-focus lens; and an actuator control unit configured to control the actuator as a function of the focal length value received from said signal processing unit. A method for accommodating the vision of a patient using an opthamalic assembly is also disclosed.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a piece of clothing (10) intended to be worn by a user so as to cover a part of the user's body. This piece of clothing (10) comprises a flexible clothing element (11) covering said part of the user's body as well as a generator (14) of electrical signals and at least one transducer (12) integral with said flexible clothing element (11). Said at least one transducer is arranged to convert said electrical signals from the electrical signal generator (14) into ultrasounds and to transmit the ultrasounds generated by this transducer (12) to said part of the user's body covered by this flexible clothing element. The piece of clothing is characterised in that said at least one transducer (12) is arranged to emit ultrasounds having at least two different acoustic intensities comprised in at least two distinct intensity ranges. The present invention further relates to a method of monitoring biological cells of a user, which method uses the piece of clothing as described above.

Abstract: Method of sterilization of a medical device, in particular surgical instrument, placed in a closable airtight container, including placing such medical device inside a closable airtight container; closing the container; placing a Vacuum Ultraviolet Light source against a window of said container, wherein such window is transparent to Vacuum Ultraviolet light and to UVC and/or Middle Ultraviolet light; irradiating a volume inside such closed container with Vacuum Ultraviolet Light through such window in order to generate ozone and/or ozonites within such volume; removing the Vacuum Ultraviolet Light source; and waiting for an incubation time.
