Charles Mingus III
Patriotism means to stand by the country. It does not mean to stand by the president or any other public official, save exactly to the degree in which himself stands by the country. It is patriotic to
support him insofar as he efficiently serves the country. It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the
exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise he fails in his duty to stand by the country. In either
event, it is unpatriotic not to tell the truth, whether about the president or anyone else" -
Theodore Roosevelt, 26th President of the United States |

Eyeing up a new technology
From Economist.com
"bionic" eye lens points to a completely
new way of building micro electronic
circuits.

CONVENTIONAL contact lenses are good at correctingvision. That, however, is not enough for Babak Parviz. Dr Parviz, who works at the University of Washington, in Seattle, wants to get themto provide information, too. His model is the “head-up” displays onthe windscreens of aircraft that are also becoming popular in cars.Shrinking the technology used in these applications to the point whereit can be employed in tiny, flexible lenses has proved challenging.But last week, at a conference in Tucson, Arizona, organised by theInstitute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, Dr Parviz announcedthat he was getting close.
The lenses themselves are made out of polyethylene terephthalate(PET), a substance similar to that used in overhead projection sheets.Dr Parviz uses PET because his previous research has shown that metalcircuits can be safely and effectively attached to it. The trick is building that circuitry in the first place, because thecomponents—most notably, light-emitting diodes, or LEDs—have to bemanufactured at high temperatures using processes that involvecorrosive liquids.
The usual trick of doing this in situ on a piece of silicon that alsoserves as the circuit board would not work on a piece of PET, whichwould be destroyed almost instantly. Instead, Dr Parviz employs atechnique he developed the year before last, and for which this is the first practical use.
It works by etching small, precisely shaped holes in the PET. Th shapes of the holes match those of particular components. Those components are manufactured elsewhere, using the traditional,plastic-hostile techniques. They are then mixed together to create agrey powder that is floated in alcohol over the surface of the lens.
When a component floats over an appropriately shaped hole in the PET,it slips into position. In this way, not only can LEDs be laid down,but also tiny solar panels and antennae that convert radio waves intoelectrical energy. Everything is thus in place for a display unit thatcan extract power from the outside world, and also receive signalsfrom it. All that need then be done is to encapsulate the result inPerspex (chosen because, being the material from which hard contactlenses are routinely made, it can protect the circuitry with harmingthe wearer’s eye) and shape the whole thing on a heated aluminiummould, so that it fits the eyeball of the wearer.
At the moment, Dr Parviz’s prototype does not produce a useful image. That would require much more complicated circuitry than he has builtso far. But he can make the LEDs flash on and off, so the principleseems to work. The next stage is to get someone totry one of the lenses on. That, in today’s risk-averse world, requiresregulatory approval. But even by getting his self-assembled screen ofLEDs to flash, Dr Parviz has shown that circuits can be built at room temperature this way. And that, rather than the specifics of this particular bionic eye lens, is the real point of the exercise.
