Abstract:
Management of contact records in an electronic device with multiple operation perimeters is provided. When creating a contact record from within one operation perimeter, an option is provided to save the contact record in storage resource accessible from within the current operating perimeter or in a storage resource accessible from within an alternative operation perimeter. If the alternative operation perimeter has a higher security level than the current operation perimeter, a password or other authorization may be required.
Abstract:
An aqueous contact lens storage solution comprises a viscoelastic rheology modifier; and not more than 0.3% w/v of an alkali metal salt; the solution has a pH of between 6.0 and 8.0 and an osmolality of between 100 and 400 mOsm/kg, and the solution has viscoelastic properties, even if heat sterilized at 121°C for at least 15 minutes. The viscoelastic rheology modifier may be selected from the following acids or their alkali metal salts: hyaluronic acid, poly(acrylic acid), crosslinked poly(acrylic acid), poly(methacrylic acid), carboxymethyl cellulose, alginic acid and mixtures thereof. The alkali metal salt may be present in an amount of from 0.01% to 0.3% w/v, and be selected from sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, sodium dihydrogen phosphate, disodium hydrogen phosphate, trisodium phosphate, sodium tetraborate, sodium citrate, sodium acetate, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, potassium bicarbonate, potassium dihydrogen phosphate, dipotassium hydrogen phosphate, tripotassium phosphate, potassium tetraborate, potassium citrate, potassium acetate, potassium lactate and mixtures thereof. The solution may be an inhomogeneous combination of a gel component and an additional liquid component. If so, the solution has a pH of between 6.0 and 8.0 and an osmolality of between 100 and 400 mOsm/kg when in a homogeneous form.
Abstract:
A contact lens package includes a container, a contact lens (200), and an internal member (190) configured to facilitate a restoration of the contact lens to a desired shape when the package is opened by the user.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a contact lens package in which the overall internal depth of the package is less than the natural sagittal depth of the contact lens. Different single-use contact lens package shapes and configurations may be used. In some embodiments, a spring disc is included in the packages to help present the contact lens to the user when the package is opened. The contact lens packages may be adhered or clipped to a card or other carrier sheet, and may be housed in a number of different secondary packages.

Abstract:
A single use package capable of holding a contact lens (22) therein, the packaging comprising at least one barrier layer (16,17) of flexible/pliable package material forming at least first (16) and second (17) opposing surfaces which define an internal package space (21) in which the contact lens (22) is retained, a medium (23) in the space for maintaining lens hydration, and means for enabling release of said contact lens from said package, wherein said at least one barrier layer of material is capable of assuming a generally coplanar configuration and is/are not preformed.
Abstract:
A method of transferring a contact lens (310) from a first location to a primary package (330) includes transferring the contact lens (310) with an intermediate transfer member (300) to the primary package (330), wherein the transfer member (300) is sealed in the primary package (330) with the contact lens (310). Additionally, according to another of many exemplary embodiments, a system for transferring a contact lens (310) to a primary package (330) includes a contact lens (310) and a transfer member (300) associated with the contact lens (310), wherein an automated lens transfer device (258) is configured to couple the contact lens (310) and the lens transfer member (300).
Abstract:
A process for forming lactose suitable for use in a pharmaceutical formulation comprises providing a plurality of lactose particles containing no more than 10% w/w of lactose particles having a volume average particle size of about 70 microns or less; milling the plurality of lactose particles to yield a plurality of milled lactose particles with an average particle size, (D50), ranging from about 50 microns to about 100 microns; and classifying the plurality of milled lactose particles into at least two fractions comprising a fine fraction and a coarse fraction wherein the fine fraction has an average particle size, (D50), ranging from about 3 microns to about 50 microns, and the coarse fraction has an average particle size, (D50), ranging from about 40 microns to about 250 microns.
Abstract:
A method and apparatus for accessing contact records in an electronic device with multiple operation perimeters is provided. When accessing contact records from within one operation perimeter, only contact information accessible from that operation perimeter is retrieved. An option is provided to also access contact records of an alternative operation perimeter. If the alternative operation perimeter has a higher security level than the current operation perimeter, a password or other authorization may be required. The contact records may be accessed, for example, to find information for an outgoing communication, to identify information associated with an incoming communication, or to edit a contact record.
Abstract:
A contact lens package (100) includes a container, a contact lens (4, 200), and an internal member (190) configured facilitate a restoration of the contact lens (4, 200) to a desired shape when the package (100) is opened by the user.
