    Abstract: One aspect of the present disclosure relates to a remotely controllable lens device. The lens device can include a lens material and a circuit physically coupled to the lens material. The circuit can be configured to be powered based on an energy signal from a power source to perform a function (e.g., release of drug, generation of electromagnetic radiation, detection of electromagnetic radiation, and/or control of an optical refractive property). For example, the power source can be an external power source and/or an auto-powered source. The external power source can be, for example, a power source that utilizes synchronized magnetic flux phase coupling (e.g., WiTricity). The auto-powered source can be provided on-site (e.g., on-chip) using a harvesting system (e.g., solar-cell, photo-cell, piezoelectric, etc.

  • Patent number: 10166400
    Abstract: Provided is a method for separating a nanogenerator, which includes laminating a buffer layer on a sacrificial substrate, making a nanogenerator on the buffer layer, laminating a metal layer on the nanogenerator and separating the nanogenerator from the buffer layer. Here, a nanogenerator is separated by using a stress difference between the sacrificial substrate and the metal layer, instead of an existing method in which a nanogenerator is separated from the sacrificial substrate by means of wet etching or the like. In particular, according to a difference between a tensile stress at the metal layer such as nickel and a compressive stress at the lower silicon substrate, the nanogenerator is intactly separated from the silicon oxide layer serving as a buffer layer. Therefore, the nanogenerator may be separated from the sacrificial substrate in a mechanical way, which is safer and more economic in comparison to an existing chemical separation method using an etching solution.
