The invention provides a monitor device for monitoring the state of a zip closure system comprising an electrically conductive slider (), a first tape (), and a second tape (), each provided with a series of members (), such as teeth or spiral turns, that can be coupled and uncoupled with the series of corresponding members () by moving said slider. Two strips () of electrically conductive material, referred to as conductive strips, that are secured to the first tape () and that are arranged transversely, preferably perpendicularly, relative to the longitudinal axis of the first tape (). Said strips () and the slider () are configured in such a manner that the two strips () are electrically connected together by the slider () when said slider () is moved level with said strips (). Said device further comprises a detector system () configured to detect the state of electrical continuity between the two strips ().

Zipper device comprising an electrically conductive slider

The invention relates to a monitor device for monitoring the closed or open state of an article, the monitor device being in the form of an electronic circuit comprising a button closure system comprising two rows of elements () made of electrically conductive material, each element of one row being couplable and un-couplable with an element of the other row. A detector-and-signaling device is connected firstly to at least one of the elements, referred to as a 'first terminal' (), and secondly to at least one of the other elements, referred to as a 'second terminal'. The detector-and-signaling device () is configured to detect the state of electrical continuity between the first and second terminals (), and to issue a signal as a function of said detected continuity state. In a direction parallel to the rows of elements when said elements are in the coupled state, the first terminal () and the second terminal () are spaced apart from each other by at least one element () of the button closure system (I), said at least one element () having no electrical connection with said terminals () when the elements of the button closure system (I) are in the uncoupled state.

The invention relates to a monitor device for monitoring the closed or open state of an article, the monitor device being in the form of an electronic circuit comprising a zip closure system comprising two strips, each having fastened thereto a row of elements, referred to as 'teeth' (), which elements are made of electrically conductive material. A slider () is mounted to slide along the strips and is configured, in one direction, to cause the teeth of one row to mesh with the teeth of the other row, and in the other direction, to separate the teeth. A detector-and-signaling device () is connected firstly to at least one of the teeth, referred to as a 'first terminal' (), and secondly to at least one of the other teeth, referred to as a 'second terminal' (). The detector-and-signaling device is configured to detect the state of electrical continuity between the first and second terminals (), and to issue a signal as a function of said detected continuity state. The first terminal () and the second terminal () are spaced apart from each other by at least one tooth (), said at least one tooth having no electrical connection with said terminals when the teeth of the two rows are in the separated state.

A monitor device is provided for monitoring the closed or open state of an article, the monitor device being an electronic circuit having a first closure system having first and second electrically conductive elements that are electrically connectable and disconnectable relative to each other. The first element has a hollow body; and an electrical power supply housed in the hollow body. A second closure system has a first terminal and a second terminal. The monitor device also has a detector-and-signaling device having both a detector module configured to be powered by the power supply when the first closure system is in the closed state and to detect the open or closed state of the second closure system. A signaling module is configured to issue a signal as a function of the open or closed state of the second closure system as detected by the detector module.

A solid dosage form for the ocular administration of an active principle includes at least one biocompatible, water-soluble excipient for ophthalmic use. The form is obtained using a method which is selected from among the following: direct compression, dry compression, wet compression, compression of a lyophilizate, the compression being carried out a temperature below 45&#xb0; C., or lyophilization, such that the form can disintegrate and release the active principle in the conjunctival sac. The invention also relates to an ophthalmic insert having the aforementioned dosage form which is appropriately dimensioned for ocular administration.

An intraocular implant adapted to come in contact with the aqueous humor comprises a hydrophilic polymer having a predetermined water content for implantation in an eye, an effective quantity of a medicated product for treatment of the eye being dispersed in the mass of the hydrophilic polymer of the implant, the association of the hydrophilic polymer and the dispersed medicated product being adapted to release the product progressively into the aqueous humor.

Intraocular lens containing releasable medication

A lens cassette for a lens injector includes a tubular body and a piston mobile in the tubular body to move forward a lens towards an injection cannula. The device includes a housing () for an intraocular lens (), an inserting zone () for the piston, and outlet zone () for the lens and its own closure element () for enclosing the lens. The cassette is made of a material enabling sterilization of the lens enclosed in the cassette, while providing a prolonged shelf life. The cassette assembly with the lens and the injector can be sterilized in a sealed flask by gamma radiation.

Cassette and injector for flexible intraocular lens and method for injecting such lenses

The present invention relates to an intra-ocular lens that is made from hydrophilic polymer. An effective amount of medicine is dispersed in the mass of the of the polymer and when implanted in the eye of a subject, the lens releases the medicine into the intra-ocular tissues so that the medicine is in the vicinity of the site where action is needed.
