Exercise 1. Make the adverbs from the following adjectives according to the model
and translate them:
Model: extreme – extreme[ly]
Final, similar, like, important, selective, literal, constant, potential, complete,
entire, permanent, high, virtual, useful.
Exercise 2. Make collocations for the following words.
Model: background information
Components, manufacturing, self-assembly, micron-scale, process.
Much More than a Contact Lens
Part 2
Biocompatibility tests. Contact lenses with electronic components were safely
worn by rabbits for up to 20 minutes in laboratory tests.
The new manufacturing process is based on a self-assembly technology, which
allows electrical micron-scale components to lock onto their predestined locations on
the contact lens without explicit human intervention. "This process does not require
individual mechanical placement of the elements on a substrate. A process that,
otherwise, would be extremely difficult and time consuming given the very small size
of the electronic components," comments Stayman. The microelectronics industry is
already capable of producing all kinds of micron-scale electronic subsystems, such as
antennas, wireless data transmitters/receivers, display control circuits, optoelectronic
display pixels, biosensors, etc. But the real challenge in this case was to integrate all
