A swallow challenge medium (10) is thixotropic for easy swallowing and to provide enough viscosity for effective challenge to peristalsis (20) and has high ionic density for effective impedance measurements by contact with electrodes (41–48) positioned in a person's esophagus (E) or oropharynx during swallow testing. The medium (10) also has a high surface tension so as not to adhere to or coat the electrodes (41–48) or probe (12) surfaces. These physical characteristics are stabilized and consistent enough to provide standard for esophageal and/or oropharyngeal function testing and diagnostics.

The invention relates to a ceramic material for 3D light curing formation printing and a preparation method of a ceramic element. The ceramic material is prepared from 30 to 70 vol percent of ceramicpowder and 30 to 70 vol percent of photosensitive resin premixed liquid, wherein the photosensitive resin premixed liquid is prepared from 37 to 50 weight percent of oligomers, 30 to 60 weight percentof reactive diluents, 0.1 to 5 weight percent of photoinitiators, 1 to 5 weight percent of dispersing agents, 0.1 to 0.6 weight percent of ultraviolet blocking agents, 0 to 0.05 weight percent of polymerization inhibitors, 1 to 4 weight percent of anti-foaming agents, 0.5 to 2.35 weight percent of anti-settling agents and 0.3 to 3 weight percent of leveling agents. In the degreasing and sinteringpost-treatment work procedures, specific parameters are used, so that a sintering element can reach good sintering density and mechanical performance. By optimizing the composition and the proportionof light curing ceramic resin, and selecting the excellent dispersing agent combination and the reasonable consumption, the ceramic powder can be better dispersed in the resin; the problems that theexisting light curing ceramic resin has poor flowability and low formation precision, and that a finally prepared ceramic product can easily generate cracks or deformation, and the like are solved.

An improved multifocal design for an ocular implant is provided. This ocular implant can include an accommodating intraocular lens (IOL) and a number of haptics. The accommodating IOL includes a liquid suspended between two optically transparent plates or membranes to form a pressure lens that passes optical energy. The haptics mechanically couple to the IOL in order to position and secure the IOL within the eye. The IOL achieves accommodation by using the eye's ciliary muscles to vary the surface curvature of the liquid. The liquid may have a high surface tension and be surrounded by phobic liquid. Pressure from the ciliary muscles causes fluid to be added from or withdrawn to a reservoir. Increasing/decreasing the internal pressure of the liquid changes the angle (curvature) of the surface thus changing the optical properties of the lens. When the pressure is released the liquid returns to the reservoir. The whole system may be sealed off from the interior of the eye by a membrane/transparent lens.

Aqueous, colloidal, freeze-resistant and storage-stable gas black suspension are disclosed containing 2-30 wt. % gas black, 0-40 wt. % carbon black, a dispersion-supporting additive, a biocide and water and having a zeta potential of less than -10 mV, a surface tension of greater than 50 mN/m and an average particle size of less than 200 nm. The aqueous, colloidal, freeze-resistant and storage-stable gas black suspension is produced by dispersing the gas black and the carbon black in water together with the dispersion-supporting additive and biocide. Inks, ink-jet inks, lacquers and printing inks can be made from these suspensions.

The articles and methods described herein provide a way to manipulate condensation on a surface by micro/nano-engineering textures on the surface and filling the spaces between the texture features with an impregnating liquid that is stably held therebetween or therewithin. The articles and methods allow droplets of water, or other condensed phases, even in micrometer size range, to easily shed from the surface, thereby enhancing contact between a condensing species and the condensing surface. It has been found that dropwise condensation is enhanced by the use of an impregnating (secondary) liquid that has a relatively high surface tension, and, even more preferably, an impregnating liquid that has both a high surface tension and a low viscosity.

A microelectronic assembly includes two or more microelectronic packages stacked at a fine pitch, which is finer than the pitch that is possible when using solder balls for making the joint. Each stackable package desirably includes a substrate having pins projecting from one surface of the substrate and solder balls projecting from the other surface of the substrate. Each stackable package may have one or more die attached to one or more of the surfaces of the substrate. In certain embodiments, die may be attached to both surfaces of the substrate. The dies may be electrically interconnected with the substrate using wire bonds, flip chip bonding, leads and/or stud bumping. The die may be encapsulated in an encapsulated material, under-filled or glob topped. In certain preferred embodiments, the combination of the conductive post height and ball height is equal to or greater than the height of the encapsulated or molded chip structure. The combination of the conductive post height and the ball height must be at least equal to the height of the encapsulated chip structure so that the conductive elements are able to span the gap between layers of the assembly. After the tips of the conductive pads are in contact with the solder masses, the solder masses are reflowed to form a permanent electrical interconnection between the stacked microelectronic packages. During reflow, the reflowed solder will wick up around the conductive posts to form elongated solder columns. In addition, when the solder is reflowed, surface tension pulls the opposing layers of the assembly toward one another and provides a self-centering action for the conductive posts.
