  • Bionic eye lens
    Patent number: 10123869
    Abstract: The present invention relates generally to the restoration or improvement of the quality of human vision and, more particularly to a self-adapting system and method for achieving automatic sharp vision by the human eye of objects for instance at distances between 25 cm and more than 10 meters away. The invention can be situated in at least four technological domains: 1. ophthalmology, in particular the implantation of intraocular lenses. 2. Non-contact biometric signal recording and processing. 3. Electro-optic control of refractive lens power. 4. Wireless energy transfer.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 9, 2013
    Date of Patent: November 13, 2018
    Assignee: KATHOLIEKE UNIVERSITEIT LEUVEN
    Inventors: Johan Blanckaert, Christ Glorieux, Robert Puers
  • Adiabatic scanning calorimeter
    Patent number: 9310263
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an adiabatic scanning calorimeter for simultaneous measurements of the temperature dependence of heat capacity and enthalpy of liquids and solids and phase transitions therein. Moreover, the invention allows for an accurate separation between pretransitional enthalpy variations and true latent heats at first-order or weakly first-order phase transitions. In addition, the invention relates to calorimeters for controlling temperature differences and heat fluxes in different modes of operation.
