in this presentation we have worked in the theme of bio MEMS in the midical staffs specially in bionic eye
this technologie help blind peopls to get there vision back
thanks to Pr.brandly in 1960 how invented the first device which colled bionic eye
IT IS THE NEW SIDE OF LIFE SCIENCE WHICH CAN IMPROVE THE FUNCTIONALITY OF DAMAGE PART OF THE EYE , IN THIS PPT VARIOUS TECHNIQUES ARE DESCRIBED ON BIONIC EYE.
There are millions of blind people who are hoping that medical technology would enable them to see the world one day. Well, the day is not far when the use of a bionic eye would be a routine medical procedure, which gives near perfect vision. Blind people would ultimately be able to recognize faces with the device. U.S and German scientists have designed a bionic eye to allow blind people to see again. The word “bionic” is derived from BIo+electrONIC.A bionic eye or visual prosthesis is a form of neural prosthesis intended to partially restore lost vision or amplify existing vision. It usually takes the form of an externally-worn camera that is attached to a stimulator on the retina, optic nerve, or in the visual cortex, in order to produce perceptions in the visual cortex. In simple words we say that itis an eye that works by itself, our brain controls it just like a real eye.Mr. Gregg Suaning created the design of bionic eye.A new artificial retina, an array of electrodes implanted on the back of the eye, has participants who had the implant for at least three months, 10 of the patients subsequently tested were able to identify the direction of moving objects.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Bionic Eye is an experimental visual device intended to restore functional vision in those suffering from partial or total blindness.
It rectifies Retinitis pigmentosa and Macular degeneration to an extent
Argus II is the first approved device in clinical trials in both the USA and Europe.
the Argus® II Retinal Prosthesis System employs 3 external components and 3 internal components.
The 3 external components are:
* Micro Camera for real-time image capture
A wireless transmitter of the processed data from the VPU and electrical power to the internal components using radiofrequency (RF) telemetry
* A portable computer (the Visual Processing Unit: VPU) for processing of the captured scenes and translation into electrical stimulating parameters conveying spatial-temporal information.
And the components of the implanted system are :
* Electronics case : Specific-Integrated-Circuit (ASIC) for generating appropriate electrical pulses
*A wireless antenna of RF telemetry, it converts radio waves back to electrical signals to recover both data and electrical power.
*Multi-electrode array : consisting of 60 platinum electrodes
The Argus II is eligibil for who meet the following criteria :
* Adults, age 25 years or older
*Have bare light or no light perception in both eyes: Bare light perception is the ability to perceive light, but not the direction from which the light is coming.
*Be aphakic or pseudophakic:
o Aphakic means that the eye is lacking its natural lens.
o Pseudophakic means that the eye has been fitted with an artificial lens implant to replace the missing or surgically removed natural lens.
*Be willing and able to receive the recommended post-implant clinical follow-up, device fitting, and visual rehabilitation
Alpha-IMS has been involved in clinical trials in Europe and Hong Kong.
Unlike the Argus II , it does not depend on an external camera.
There is a big advantage
Thanks to the greate number of microelectrodes in the CMOS chip there is a big improvement in the quality of vision
Between 2007 2009
The first test(figure9) is finding the door room after placing the patient in the center and then if he touched the door we consider it as a "successful" test.
One-quarter of patients achieved the ability to read newspaper headlines. Another quarter of patients could see light, doors, and windows when they entered a room. A quarter of patients could detect whether a light was on or off and locate the light source. One quarter of patients did not respond to implantation.
