Publication number: 20240157634Abstract: A product includes a three-dimensional structure having a plurality of sequentially-formed layers comprised of liquid crystal elastomers. The liquid crystal elastomers in at least a predefined portion of a first of the layers are substantially aligned in a first orientation, and the liquid crystal elastomers in at least a predefined portion of a second of the layers are substantially aligned in a second orientation. In addition, each of the portions of the three-dimensional structure is characterized as exhibiting a shape change in response to a stimulus, where the shape change is reversible.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 19, 2023Publication date: May 16, 2024Inventors: Rodrigo Telles Arriaga, Caitlyn Christian Krikorian, Elaine Lee, Jennifer Lewis

Publication number: 20230157869Abstract: An apparatus includes a housing coupled to a medicament container, which is coupled to a needle. An injection assembly is disposed within the housing and includes an energy storage member and an actuation rod. A distal end portion of the actuation rod is disposed within the medicament container. The energy storage member can produce a force on a proximal end portion of the actuation rod sufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container. This can convey at least a portion of a substance from the medicament container via the needle when a distal tip of the needle is disposed within a first region of a target location. The force is insufficient to move the distal end portion of the actuation rod within the medicament container when the distal tip of the needle is disposed within a second region of the target location.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 19, 2023Publication date: May 25, 2023Applicant: CLEARSIDE BIOMEDICAL, INC.Inventors: Rafael Victor ANDINO, Vladimir Zarnitsyn, Jesse Yoo, Christopher John Brooks, Trent John Kahute, Justin William Arsenault, David Jackson Trettin, Andrew Kent Bauer, Stephanie Elaine Lewis

Publication number: 20140031303Abstract: A combination of the following three structures in a single molecule imparts a surprisingly broad range of beneficial effects in promoting and maintaining health. First, a strongly hydrophilic moiety, either a cation or anion or a polyhydroxyl group, with two or preferably three or more hydroxyl groups. Second, a lipophilic group, such as an alkyl chain of at least 8 carbons, and preferentially more, up to 18 or even 30-odd atoms in the chain. And third, a covalently reactive group, preferably with a strong tendency for binding to biosurfaces and biomolecules such as proteins, cell membranes, and/or nucleic acids, such as an epoxide, an acid anhydride, isocyanate or other reactive group(s) as herein defined.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 14, 2013Publication date: January 30, 2014Inventors: William Lewis, Terry Elaine Lewis
