The invention relates to an adjustable intraocular lens with a lens body 1, haptic arms 3 for fixing the lens body 1 in the eye, and an adjustment means for moving the lens body 1 relative to the haptic arm 3 in the direction of the optic axis 27 of the lens body 1 and for adjusting the extent of the movement. The haptic arms 3 are each directly connected to the lens body 1 via one of their ends....

A modular architecture for a unidirectional fiber amplifier provides separate optical amplification for a short and long band transmission channels of a wide-band optical signal. The modular amplifier comprises a first gain stage that amplifies the short band and passes through the second-band, and a second gain stage connected in series with the first gain stage that amplifies the long band. The ...

Methods for calculating Log P values for organic compounds are disclosed. The methods allow identification of compounds in a library with a desired Log P value. The method can be used to minimize the number of compounds in a given combinatorial or lead generation library which need to be further characterized and/or assayed. The Log P value is preferably obtained while the purity of the compounds ...
