    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: 9221893
    Abstract: An HA-protein conjugate in which an HA-aldehyde derivative, in which an aldehyde group is introduced to a hyaluronic acid or a salt thereof, is conjugated to the N-terminus of a protein, and a method for preparing the same are provided. The HA-protein conjugate includes a protein drug exhibiting an excellent bioconjugation efficiency and long-term medicinal effects, and has excellent protein drug activities since the hyaluronic acid is specifically conjugated to the N-terminus of the protein. Also, since liver-targeting properties of the hyaluronic acid can be freely controlled by changing an aldehyde substitution rate of the HA-aldehyde derivative, the HA-protein conjugate can be effectively used as a protein drug for treating liver diseases, and also be useful in enabling long-term medicinal effects of a protein drug required to bypass the liver. Accordingly, the HA-protein conjugate can be effectively used for a drug delivery system of proteins.
