PowerVision is a private company focused on developing a novel accommodating intraocular lens, which is designed to restore True AccommodationTM. Their innovative FluidVisionTM accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) is poised to help individuals affected by presbyopia and/or cataracts regain the ability to dynamically adjust focus for clear vision at all distances. Fifty years ago, vision correction surgery was changed forever by the invention of the intraocular lens, which is used to treat a cataract – a clouding and hardening of the dime-sized, normally clear, crystalline lens inside your eye which can rob you of your vision in your 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. PowerVision set out to dramatically improve vision correction surgery again. They began the development of their FluidVision IOL, which mimics the way a healthy eye works and can restore clear vision at all distances, near, far, and everywhere in between.   It uses a tiny amount of fluid inside the lens and natural eye muscles to change shape and adjust focus just the way your healthy eye does. For the more than 20 million people with cataracts in the U.S. and, ultimately, the more than 90 million with Presbyopia – the loss of ability to focus up close that affects people in their 40’s and 50’s – the FluidVision lens can potentially give them freedom from ever needing glasses, contacts or any vision correction procedure again.

ChipWrights specializes in developing all-in-one high definition solutions for complex application-specific standard products (ASSPs)—in particular, System-on-a-Chip (SoC) devices—which integrate a complete system on a single chip.   ChipWrights’ fully programmable, low cost, low power, and high performance SoCs are ideal for building competitive products in the digital imaging and video markets. Its vector DSP achieves very high parallelism when operating on image data. The instruction set, address indexing schemes, and data access mechanisms are all tuned for image and video processing. Even the system Direct Memory Access engines are designed to move data in two-dimensional patches.   ChipWrights’ goal is to provide customers with the best combination of Price, Performance, Power, Peripheral Integration, and Programmability. ChipWrights believes that image processing should be based on programmable solutions rather than fixed function ASICs. As system product life cycles get shorter and product requirements grow more complex, the improved flexibility of a programmable solution provides tremendous benefits to the system designer and manufacturer.   The company offers a complete set of development tools, reference boards, and application libraries for its chips.
