Abstract:
A compound is disclosed. The compound has a general structure: wherein R1, R2, and R3 are each independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, substituted saturated hydrocarbons, non-substituted saturated hydrocarbons, substituted unsaturated hydrocarbons, and non-substituted unsaturated hydrocarbons; wherein E and D are each independently selected from the group consisting of CH2, O, S, and NH; and wherein a, b, x, y, and z are each independently any whole number between 0 and 45, inclusive, wherein the sum of a and b is less than 45 or equal to 45 and wherein the sum of x, y, and z is less than 45 or equal to 45.
Abstract:
An ophthalmic lens suited for extended-wear periods of at least one day on the eye without a clinically significant amount of corneal swelling and without substantial wearer discomfort. In one embodiment, an ophthalmic lens is a copolymerization product of at least one oxyperm, at least one ionoperm, and a crosslinker. In one embodiment, a lens has a tensile modulus of less than about 3.0 MPa, yet in another embodiment, the tensile modulus is between about 0.5 to about 1.5 MPa.
Abstract:
A pigment-based ink includes a non-polar carrier fluid and pigment particles suspended in the non-polar carrier fluid. The pigment particles have surface functionalized anionic groups. A combination of an electronic display and an electronic ink is provided, as is a method for modifying the pigment particles.

Abstract:
A method of facilitating a chemical reaction includes raising a temperature of a protective layer covering a catalyst in the presence of a chemical solution.
Abstract:
An ophthalmic lens suited for extended-wear periods of at least one day on the eye without a clinically significant amount of corneal swelling and without substantial wearer discomfort. The lens has a balance of oxygen permeability and ion or water permeability, with the ion or water permeability being sufficient to provide good on-eye movement, such that a good tear exchange occurs between the lens and the eye. A preferred lens is a copolymerization product of a oxyperm macromer and an ionoperm monomer. The invention encompasses extended wear contact lenses, which include a core having oxygen transmission and ion transmission pathways extending from the inner surface to the outer surface.
