Risk of visual impairment including Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) and cataracts increase with age. This increased risk can be caused by changes in the structure and function of the eye or changes in structures of the central nervous system that support visual perception. The present invention comprises fruit flavored, chewable formulations of supplements for reducing the risk of AMD. Chewable dosage forms of the invention are preferred over other formulations and may increase compliance in an aging population, who are more likely to require an eye health supplement and have an increased risk of experiencing dysphagia.

Chewable eye health formulation

The present invention relates to an electronic device, which can be triggered by the proximity of bioelectric fields, or by the motion of charges and ions. The triggered element of the device can be controlled between the two states: on and off. From this point of view it can be considered a switch. However, the triggered element can also attain all the intermediate states between the on and off states, according to the intensity of the external stimuli. From this point of view it can be considered a sensor, since its response is directly related to the sensed stimulus.

Bio-electric sensor and switch system for medical imaging

A smart magnetometer which includes at least one cantilevered magnetostrictive/optical fiber structural bonded composite in a vibrationally isolated housing allowing an optical signal to be transmitted and detected from one optical fiber to another such that fluctuations of the surrounding magnetic field H will cause fluctuating mechanical torque on the composite magnetostrictive beam which will be applied to the bonded cantilevered optical fiber to deflect or misalign and cause modulation of the optical signal transmitted between the two fibers. This modulation can be calibrated to the dynamic variation of strength of a neighboring magnetic field to a precision and sensitivity of less than 1 fT and 1 fT/sqrtHz. The system is smart to selectively filter out any neighboring magnetic field with average strength smaller or greater than a certain critical value. The system is also smart enough to switch from one magnetic field average strength and/or direction to another with different average strength and/or direction.
