Abstract: A medicament reservoir for an intraocular lens has a medicament, a through-hole, a first medicament reservoir clearance which communicates with the through-hole, a first web which delimits the first medicament reservoir clearance, a first end face which delimits the through-hole, and a second end face which is disposed so as to face away from the first end face and to delimit the through-hole. The through-hole in a region of the first end face has a first longitudinal end and in a region of the second end face has a second longitudinal end. The medicament reservoir has a displacement direction oriented from the first longitudinal end to the second longitudinal end.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for managing potential conflicts between entities operating within a three-dimensional volume of navigable space, such as different aircraft operating within navigable airspace. One method involves obtaining usage information associated with a first entity, mapping the usage information to one or more partitions in a partitioned domain corresponding to the volume of navigable space that encompass an operating region for the first entity, and updating registered usage data associated with the one or more partitions to maintain an association between the one or more partitions and the first entity. The method detects a concurrent usage conflict associated with a first partition after updating the registered usage data based at least in part on a second association between the first partition and a second entity, and in response to detecting the concurrent usage conflict, updates conflict data to include an indication of the concurrent usage conflict.

Abstract: A motorized bicycle system includes an electric drive system generating a first drive torque through an electric drive motor and a mid-drive gear box system. A pedal drive system produces a second drive torque via a spindle system.

Additionally, a parallel axis idler gearset includes two idler gears transmitting torque between gears of the gear reduction stage. This innovative system efficiently combines electric and pedal power for enhanced bicycle performance.
