MONTREAL–(BUSINESS WIRE ImmerVision, the expert in 360° Panoramic Imaging Technology and inventor of the IMV1-1/3 panomorph lens, reports that a growing number of small and large organizations are adding ImmerVision's 360-degree optics to complement their existing video surveillance installations.
The polarity of most lenses reported so far, that is, either positive (convex) or negative (concave), depends on the curvatures of the interfaces.
The moves were disclosed as the company, helped by strong sales of newer-style contact lenses, reported that its earnings more than tripled in the second quarter, to $21.8 million, or 40 cents a share.
However, the nanostructured plasmonic lenses reported were found to reveal some shortcomings, e.g., the divergence of the transmitted optical field and the elaborate design of the nanostructures for focusing a specific wavelength.
After Japan's No. 1 maker of optical lenses reported that its fiscal first-quarter net profit jumped by 24%, shares in Hoya followed suit, leaping by 6.5%, to 2,375 yen ($21.63).
Measurements obtained in animal and human lenses reported by other research groups have not shown these location-dependent changes in terms of sound velocity or refractive index [ 10, 37, 45].
A recent investigation examining the effect of a relatively low dose of 1 mM ouabain on refractive compensation in chicks wearing positive lenses reported that application of the drug prevented the development of hyperopia.
(In fact, humans who have had their eye lenses removed, such as in cataract surgery, without being replaced by ultraviolet-blocking lenses report being able to see in the ultraviolet).
In acoustics, sound focusing based on GRIN lens was reported [102, 103] and diverse GRIN lenses for flexural waves were also demonstrated numerically [104].
For example, 85percentt said they showered with their contact lenses, 61percentt reported swimming with their lenses and 35percentt reported rinsing their lenses with water, according to the report, released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
