Simple reminder of board rules. This board is not a company board. If you wish to comment on a specific company's management, pps, fundamentals, trading behavior, or the validity of a company, etc, then go to the company's specific iHub board and do it there. Any type of posts of that nature posted here, will be deleted. TOS rules also apply.

This board is ONLY for the discussion of BioMEM technology. Right now, we are focusing on smart contact lenses. However, any other type of technology that can be placed into the human body is also allowed.

If there is a company that i do not have listed on the main page, let me know and I will add it if is relevant.

[judypudy]

Hey David, are we going to be able to speak about anything we want over here on this iHub page?

[H8ster]

InWith Corp has acquired EPGL Med and it's smart contact lens technology. Technology that includes the Elastic Circuit patent. Technology that companies will have to have in order to manufacture silicon hydrogel lenses containing circuitry.
Is there another company that has similar technology that is able to mass manufacture silicon hydrogel lenses containing circuitry???

[Quindien]

Sticky this.

Another fascinating article dug up by JudyPudy on smart contact lenses being used with satellites/radar

Virtual contact lenses for radar satellites:

"Radar satellites supply the data used to map sea level and ocean currents. However, up until now the radar's "eyes" have been blind where the oceans are covered by ice. Researchers at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have now developed a new analysis method to solve this problem……"

Interesting article from JudyPudy on a company called E-Vision.
Thanks for the contribution

[judypudy]

So be it. I prefer InWith opinion over yours.

[Quindien]

Describing the worth of your own opinion?

[judypudy]

I used the takeover swap ratio .0026. As far as I can tell your just expressing your opinion.

[judypudy]

That .0026 shares of InWith Corp = .13 value for 1 share of EPGL.

[franck92]

Stock merger; EPGL acquired by InWith Corporation, a private Delaware entity; for every 1 share of EPGL shareholders have the right to receive 0.0026 shares of InWith Corporation

Interesting update of the Inwith website.

[franck92]

$InWith is positioned to be one of the leaders of tech's hottest new field; Augmented Vision. Soon, $EPGL stockholders will receive the new $InWith shares! It has taken more time because of the switch to a new stock TA, but it is coming and you will see an increase in equity.

"Within a few years, McEvoy expects J&J to offer contact lenses in which contain medication."

Thanks for sharing

I still think that JJ is in the race with EPGL, I think they are still together, I would not be surprised if JJ was the partner with which they build a prototype.It would be logic.
the partnership for the prototype began in october 2017, I would not be surprised if they have almost finished the prototype.
Anyway, it should be good.

Is this conversion ever gonna happen......any updates? Thanks!

"The 1st prototype for a marketable smart contact lens,being produced by EPGL Med, with a specific application, and made of silicon hydrogel, is due out this year. "

Yep, so impatient to see it and maybe to use it.

[H8ster]

There will be a multitude of different companies for all sorts of applications. Be it Medical, entertainment or military. Many bluechips that are behind in the race, failed with their tech outright, or simply never got started, are now waiting to buy up the smaller companies rather try and catch up to the others or throw countless millions into R&D.

SMART CONTACT LENSES MARKET WILL BE FIERCELY COMPETITIVE IN 2023; SAYS SAMSUNG, SONY, GOOGLE

[H8ster]

Good article about more science being put to use for smart contact lenses. They are a long ways out, but who knows. There are many, many companies clawing to get into this coming market. Some are further ahead than others.

In the future, your contacts lenses may do more than help you see clearly — they may help save your life.

Engineers at Oregon State University are working to embed transparent sensors into contact lenses, which could then monitor biomarkers to track drug use, blood glucose levels, or even detect early signs of cancer.

You mean the lens shot I put up next to J&J's. I simply did an image search and snagged one. Lol. If you want me to put up another one, send me a link.

What a total scam

[franck92]

In the same time they tested their technology on rabbits, it seems to be a success so it seems possible. But it is curious that they have not tested this with the best current contact lenses that are made with silicone hydrogel. Maybe soon they will.

[H8ster]

Nah. Its a company that really doesn’t have a shot.

Their lens does not yet meet the standard required for current commercialization.

Their lens is made of silicone rubber (elastofilcon A) which is not ideal for hydration and oxygenation on the human eye and the structure of the designed substrate presents clarity issues and as constructed, so basically, it can never work within silicone hydrogel

That’s all they got. I really don’t see them moving forward in any time frame that would allow them to have any success.

[franck92]

Maybe we should add the Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology in South Korea who have prototyped and tested their device on rabbits - and reported that it causes no adverse reactions.

Remember Sony's widely reported patent app for it's smart lens?
Sony Smart Lens

It got denied as well. Got its Final rejection notice last december, yet they are still trying.
As long as the USPTO can make money on appeals and and reexamination, anybody can keep trying.

USPTO Sony Final Rejection
Application number 14/785,249

[Stock_Barber]

I respect that!

[Stock_Barber]

I assume so... but I have to read the wrapper!

[franck92]

That is why I wondered in my post if they could continue in spite of the final rejection. But it was in 2016. did they continue the process knowing that epgl has prior art, priority date?.

[Stock_Barber]

"Final rejection is final rejection "

A Final Rejection means anything but final!

It pretty much mean "Final Free Rejection"...

I have had MANY Final Rejections that turned into patents...

I haven't read the rejection but I will if there is time!

"“Final” is a misnomer, however, because a final rejection does not mean that prosecution of the patent application is over."

Read this, for example:

https://ptslaw.com/2016/04/a-final-rejection-is-not-the-end/

[franck92]

Final rejection is final rejection lol.
could Samsung solve their rejection ?. Seems too late.
Once thing seems sure, they are not ahead in this field. good job for Inwith.

[H8ster]

A look at Samsung's Smart contact lens patent app from 2016. In february, it received it's FINAL REJECTION from the USPTO. Will they keep pressing?

[franck92]

well, well, in fact I am not against this idea and I am aware of the race and of the multiple future applications but it is frustrating to see the developments and partnerships of the competitors.
I am so curious and impatient to see the next developments and partnerships of Inwith thanks to their breaking technology.
Go InWith.

[H8ster]

This board is about the technology and industry that EPGL Med currently resides in. Wether or not somebody believes the company is real or if ithe company that is absorbing it will become operational once it leaves the public markets is irrelevant to the mission of this board. That type of discussion is for the company's main ihub board. If the company whom is absorbing EPGL fails to materialize, then the company will not be featured on this board. For now, there is no evidence that it won't materialize. Only evidence saying it will.

EPGL MED

[Koog]

It was only dealing with that one company because thats what the posters were more focused on and they weren't posting on anything else, so i updated the page to make it more inviting to discuss all the major players.

That's a very good idea because "InWith" (the private not-yet-real company which is purportedly to become the reincarnation of EPGL, the penny stock) may never really become real. I've figured this since the "free" shares were announced.

[H8ster]

Elastic Circuit patent and all if it's art.
ELASTIC CIRCUIT PATENT W/ART

We are now starting to see all sorts of companies coming up with applications for smart contact lenses. The amount of applications will end up being endless. To get the applications into the circuitry, the circuitry has to survive the manufacturing process that all silicon hydrogels must go through. So far, EPGL has the only technology to do so with the elastic circuit patent. not to mention all of their other intellectual property.

There is good reason that EPGL is mentioned among the main, yet small group of smart lens innovators.

[H8ster]

Its the way its always been. And thats whats been on the title page since day one. It just wast in big bold letters like it is now. It was only dealing with that one company because thats what the posters were more focused on and they weren't posting on anything else, so i updated the page to make it more inviting to discuss all the major players.

[H8ster]

This is a big race with a ton of players. We are going to start seeing all sorts of ideas emerging. There are really an endless amount of applications that be used in smart lenses. But for now, they are just ideas all in development. Its no wonder that this is going to be a multi billion dollar industry in the future.

Right now, EPGL is a leader in technology that powers the lens as well as technology that allows circuitry to effectively and safely be mass manufactured into hydro silicon contact lenses.

[franck92]

I am glad to see that the iot is working for some companies but they are competitors of epgl/inwith; I prefer to see the progress of inwith.
JNJ has had a partnership with Transitions Optical company ; how about epgl/inwith. curious to know more.

[franck92]

"This board is a discussion board about companies that are working to put BioMem technology into the human body within the next few years. Currently, the main focus is on SMART CONTACT LENSES."

so it is not anymore a board concerning only Inwith ; it is more general ; why this change now.

[Stock_Barber]

The prototype that they made and plastered the picture everywhere is not of the elastic circuit...

It is a simple well-known stretch circuit pattern!

They even state that it is just an example of the flexible substrate embedded in the lens. Nowhere do they claim that it is their "elastic circuit".

See the difference in the pattern?

Basic stretch circuit:


Elastic circuit patent:


Prototype:

[H8ster]

The technology outlined in the patent has been proven to work in a lab. That their elastic circuit can safely and effectively go through the manufacturing process of silicon hydrogel lenses. They are now working on a prototype lens with specific technology within an elastic circuit, designed to perform a specific task for another company. While the circuit itself will work, they need to make sure the technology that the circuit is carrying for the company they are building it for, works as well.
