Title: Visual prosthesis
Inventor: HUMAYUN MARK S
IPC: F16L19/02
Filed: 1999-03-11
Abstract: A visual prosthesis comprises a camera for perceiving a visual image and generating a visual signal output, retinal tissue stimulation circuitry adapted to be operatively attached to the user's retina, and wireless communication circuitry for transmitting the visual signal output to the retinal tissue stimulation circuitry within the eye. To generate the visual signal output the camera converts a visual image to electrical impulses which are sampled to selecting an image at a given point in time. The sampled image signal is then encoded to allow a pixelized display of it. This signal then is used to modulate a radio frequency carrier signal. A tuned coil pair having a primary and a secondary coil are used to transmit and receive the RF modulated visual signal which is then demodulated within the eye. The retinal stimulation circuitry includes a decoder for decoding the visual signal output into a plurality of individual stimulation control signals which are used by current generation circuitry to generate stimulation current signals to be used by an electrode array having a plurality of electrodes forming a matrix. The intraocular components are powered from energy extracted from the transmitted visual signal. The electrode array is attached to the retina via tacks, magnets, or adhesive.

Title: Thixotropic formulations for filling capsules
Inventor: GROSSIORD JEAN-LOUIS
IPC: A61K31/519
Filed: 1999-07-05
Abstract: The invention concerns liquid or pasty thixotropic compositions containing an active substance for filling capsules at room temperature. The compositions become fluid by the effect of shearing when they pass through the filling nozzle, then recover their consistency with sufficient intensity and rapidity to prevent, after filling, any leak between the two capsule parts. Said compositions are characterised in that their rheological properties are specially adapted for filling and for optimal thixotropic recovery of consistency. They are preferably in the form of dispersions supporting amphiphilic excipients. Said compositions enable the formulation of active liquid, pasty and even solid substances.
