A prosthetic repair fabric and method for repairing an inguinal hernia in the inguinal canal. The prosthesis including a layer of mesh fabric that is susceptible to the formations of adhesions with sensitive tissue and organs, and a barrier layer that inhibits the formation of adhesions with sensitive tissue and organs. The mesh fabric including a medial section and a lateral section that are configured to be positioned adjacent the medial corner and the lateral end of the inguinal canal, respectively, when the prosthesis is placed in the inguinal canal to repair the defect. The barrier layer is positioned on the mesh fabric to inhibit the formation of adhesions between the spermatic cord and the mesh fabric.

A compound-eye imaging device comprises nine optical lenses arranged in a matrix array of three rows and three columns, and a solid-state imaging element for capturing unit images formed by the optical lenses. A stray light blocking member having a rectangular-shaped window is provided on the capture zone side of the optical lenses, eliminating the need to provide, between the solid-state imaging element and the optical lenses, walls by which light propagation paths of lights emitted from the optical lenses are partitioned from each other. The stray light blocking member blocks incident lights in a range outside each effective incident view angle range of each optical lens. This prevents the light entering each optical lens to form a unit image from interfering with other unit images formed by adjacent optical lenses, thereby obtaining a good quality image, without complicating the manufacturing process and increasing the cost thereof.

An imaging lens includes: an aperture stop; a biconvex first lens directing convex surfaces toward an object and an image; a second lens directing a convex surface toward the object near the optical axis and having negative refractive power; a biconvex third lens directing convex surfaces toward the object and the image near the optical axis; a fourth lens directing a concave surface toward the object near the optical axis and having positive refractive power; and a fifth lens directing a convex surface toward the object near the optical axis and having negative refractive power. The aperture stop and the first to fifth lenses are arranged in this order from the object side, and a conditional expression 1 being 0.50<f1 / f<0.76 is satisfied, where f1 represents the focal length of the first lens and f represents the focal length of the entire imaging lens.

A composite prosthesis and method for limiting the incidence of postoperative adhesions. The composite includes a non-inflammatory or coated mesh and a barrier material which prevents exposure of tissue elsewhere in the body to tissue covered by the composite prosthesis. The barrier material is absorbable which allows tissue through-growth and localization of the composite prosthetic. In use, the composite prosthesis is positioned over the tissue defect and may be positioned with the barrier material oriented against the tissue defect or repair site.

A gypsum board comprises a set gypsum layer having a first face and a second face. An uncoated fibrous mat is affixed to at least one of the faces. The mat comprises a non-woven web bonded together with a resinous binder. The web comprises glass fiber consisting essentially of a major portion composed of chopped continuous glass fibers having an average fiber diameter ranging from about 8 to 25 μm and optionally a minor portion consisting essentially of at least one of small diameter glass fibers having a fiber diameter of at most about 13 μm and microfibers having an average fiber diameter ranging from about 0.05 to about 6.5 μm. The board is exceedingly durable and has a high resistance to water absorption, rendering it particularly useful for exterior insulation systems.
