Innovative Eyewear, Inc. ("Innovative Eyewear" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: LUCY; LUCYW), the developer and retailer of smart eyewear under the Lucyd®, Nautica®, and Eddie Bauer® brands, announces today that it has launched a new iOS/Android app called Lucyd. The Lucyd app enables a voice interface for ChatGPT on our smart eyewear. The user can ask questions to ChatGPT through microphones already built into our glasses and hear the responses through their stereo speakers. The app is device agnostic and works with many other hearables, including, but not limited to, AirPods®1. Additionally, the app may be used via a streamlined visual interface on any smartphone to enhance accessibility.

"We are excited to be the first company to provide ChatGPT enabled smart eyewear. With our new Lucyd app, which is free to our eyewear customers, we are continuing to make smart eyewear more accessible and functional than ever before," says Harrison Gross, CEO of Innovative Eyewear. "A great pair of smartglasses is defined by three key factors: fashion, tech, and suitability for all-day wear. The Lyte 2.0 collection successfully addresses these factors and now provides access to the world's most popular AI assistant. By connecting to ChatGPT with your voice on Lucyd smart eyewear, you can access a wealth of detailed research on just about any subject, making it one of the most powerful mobile learning systems available."

As recently announced, Lucyd Lyte® 2.0 eyewear is now available in 15 distinct styles, which we believe is the most of any smart eyewear on the US market. With the Lucyd app, all of these frames provide on-the-go access to ChatGPT. Lucyd smart eyewear makes it easy to use ChatGPT by combining the strength of a natural language AI bot with the natural ergonomic interface of speaking and listening on a handsfree wearable.

We believe our new app may generate substantial revenue from both smart eyewear and app sales in future periods.

Element Materials Technology (Element), a leading global Testing, Inspection and Certification (TIC) company, has launched a global offering for its Extractables and Leachables (E&L) services. The new service brings together capabilities across Europe and North America through the recent acquisitions of Avomeen, Hall Analytical and VR Analytical totaling over 75 experts across laboratories in Ann Arbour and Bend in the US, Toronto in Canada and Manchester in the UK.

Regulatory agencies are requiring more and increasingly complex E&L studies before drugs and products come to market. The impact of extractable and leachable substances on product safety and drug product interaction is now studied and evaluated throughout the drug development process to make certain drug efficacy and patient safety are not compromised.

Element has promoted Sarah Brophy as the Global Scientific Director for Extractables and Leachables, Life Sciences. In this newly created role, Sarah will be responsible for ensuring the successful delivery of Element’s strategy, operations, and analytical services. This includes management of the company’s E&L technical programs, as well as global projects focused on the strategic and technical objectives of Element’s Life Sciences Business Unit.

“With an increasing range of new pharmaceuticals, biologics and medical devices, the packaging, storage and delivery of medical products is now a very significant factor in the regulatory approval process,” said Sarah Brophy, Global Scientific Director for Extractables and Leachables, Life Sciences. “Within Element, our combined knowledge and experience helps us deliver an unequaled expertise in the rigorous testing for E&L on a whole range of products across the world’s regulatory authorities. Keeping up with ever increasing demands for product testing and delivery is a significant part of the approval process, for companies this means an expert global provider is essential to bring drugs and products to market efficiently and quickly.”

Element Life Sciences delivers tailored E&L studies of pharmaceutical, biologic, medical device, combination products and more. Its scientific experts support the world’s leading healthcare brands in establishing the safety of materials across administration, formulation, dosage, container-closure systems, and drug delivery device requirements ensuring patient safety and expediting time to market.

“The global team within Element has an in-depth understanding of regulatory expectations, from materials assessment to toxicological evaluations, through decades of experience developing and executing E&L programs,” said Dr. Elisabeth Lackner, CSO of Element. “Today, Element Life Sciences has one of the largest extractables databases in the industry and a track-record of proven success supporting complex dosage forms through an industry-leading approach.”

Element’s global Life Sciences division includes more than 1,400 scientists, chemists, and technologists working across a network of laboratories to deliver complete and comprehensive scientific solutions that support customers’ end-to-end product development lifecycle from early R&D through complex regulatory approvals, into production and beyond.

Many German farming businesses are currently facing immense challenges. The use of fertilizers is to be reduced while at the same time, there is a flagrant lack of manpower. For these companies to be able to live off their earnings in future, work processes must be set up more digitally and, where possible, also be automated. This is the only way to be more efficient, flexible, and more predictable and thus to increase productivity.

A team of engineers at IAV has taken these challenges as an opportunity to develop a harvesting robot geared to current market needs in a pioneering project with large farms.

“Germany, with its deep technical understanding as well as its development and manufacturing depth is tailor-made for a high-level technology like advanced AI robotics,” says Enrico Neumann, product manager at IAV.

Currently, the robot is specifically trained on picking strawberries, but in future it can also be trained to pick other target crops.

How the robot works

The robot moves autonomously through the planting aisles with the elevated planting troughs. The robot’s arm, equipped with a camera and a patented gripping system, uses cloud computing and artificial intelligence to locate the strawberries, determine their degree of ripeness and place the ripe fruit safely in a basket after separating the strawberry from the plant by the stem.

The robot has already successfully completed this process 3.5 million times in so-called endurance tests in the field. What is particularly practical: The system can also operate at night, around 20 hours of picking without a break are possible with the robot.

With more than 7,600 employees, IAV is one of the world’s leading engineering partners for the automotive industry. The company has been developing innovative concepts and technologies for future vehicles for more than 35 years and generated sales of approximately 863 million euros in 2021. Its customers include all major automobile manufacturers and suppliers worldwide. Besides vehicle and powertrain development, IAV already entered electric mobility and autonomous driving at an early stage and today is one of the leading development service providers in these areas. In addition to development centers in Berlin, Gifhorn and Chemnitz/Stollberg, IAV has other German locations in Munich, Sindelfingen and Ingolstadt, as well as in Europe, Asia, North and South America.
