The invention provides a physiological probe that comfortably attaches to the base of the patient's thumb, thereby freeing up their fingers for conventional activities in a hospital, such as reading and eating. The probe, which comprises a separate cradle module and sensor module, secures to the thumb and measures time-dependent signals corresponding to LEDs operating near 660 and 905 nm. The cradle module, which contains elements subject to wear, is preferably provided as a disposable unit.

A custom-fitted athletic body protective product such as a shin guard, including a storage package formed of moisture-impervious material and sealable to prevent entry of moisture, a flexible protective guard positioned in the storage package and sealed therein against entry of moisture, and for being custom-formed to the shape of a body part to be protected while flexible and upon hardening providing a rigid, supporting custom fit to the body part. The protective product includes a low density core defining first and second major surfaces and first and second sheets positioned in overlying relation on respective first and second major surfaces of the core. The core and the first and second overlying sheet materials collectively defining a laminated substrate. A reactive system is impregnated into or coated onto the substrate, the reactive system remaining stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardening upon exposure to sufficient moisture to form a rigid, self-supporting structure of the substrate. A cover encloses the substrate.

For enabling to prevent ill effects from being generated in the structures of a reflection mirror, even if increasing an output energy from a light source, thereby preventing ill influences from being exerted on the driving condition thereof, a mirror drive controller unit 7 reads out history data of the past, relating to temperature changes on a micro mirror 1, from a first LUT holder unit 19. Upon basis of the read-out history data of the past is presumed the temperature on the micro mirror 1 at the present time. The presumed temperature on the micro mirror 1 is temperature P temp of the micro mirror 1 at the present time, and upon that P temp are changed vibration (or oscillation) condition of the micro mirror 1 in the horizontal (H) direction and vibration (or oscillation) condition thereof in the vertical (V) direction.

Systems providing improved methods of performing a spinal fusion procedure and including a monorail instrument that protects the medial neural structures, includes a sliding platform for additional instrumentation and allows controlled delivery of various instruments for disc preparation and implant insertion. The monorail instrument engages other instruments, including various instruments utilized to prepare the disc space as well as spinal fusion implants, for guided and controlled insertion into the disc space. The monorail instrument may be a distractor, and may include flutes for preparation of the disc space.

Electrode protection in electrochemical cells, and more specifically, electrode protection in both aqueous and non-aqueous electrochemical cells, including rechargeable lithium batteries, are presented. In one embodiment, an electrochemical cell includes an anode comprising lithium and a multi-layered structure positioned between the anode and an electrolyte of the cell. A multi-layered structure can include at least a first single-ion conductive material layer (e.g., a lithiated metal layer), and at least a first polymeric layer positioned between the anode and the single-ion conductive material. The invention also can provide an electrode stabilization layer positioned within the electrode, i.e., between one portion and another portion of an electrode, to control depletion and re-plating of electrode material upon charge and discharge of a battery. Advantageously, electrochemical cells comprising combinations of structures described herein are not only compatible with environments that are typically unsuitable for lithium, but the cells may be also capable of displaying long cycle life, high lithium cycling efficiency, and high energy density.

A cost-effective and space-saving component that includes a MEMS element and an access channel to the membrane structure of the MEMS element.The MEMS element is mounted by the rear side of the component on a substrate and is at least partially embedded in a molding compound. An access port is formed in the molding compound. The component also includes at least one semiconductor component having at least one through hole that is integrated in the molding compound above the MEMS element at a distance from the membrane structure, so that a hollow space is located between the semiconductor component and the membrane structure. The access port in the molding compound opens into the through hole of the semiconductor component and, together with this and the hollow space between the further semiconductor component and the membrane structure, forms the access channel to the membrane structure.A cost-effective and space-saving component that includes a MEMS element and an access channel to the membrane structure of the MEMS element.

The invention discloses a clamp for metal thin-wall whole segment tube axial tension and compression fatigue test, and is used for realizing the clamping of a thin-wall tubular sample in fatigue test in liquid lead-based alloy environment. The clamp is rotationally connected onto a core sleeve with a taper through a conical core rod, and is assembled on a fixed frame with a reversed T-shaped groove; an outer clamp cover is connected with the fixed frame through a bolt; a lock nut is rotationally connected with the fixed frame till being fastened with the fixed frame to form the clamp. By adopting the clamp, the clamping force to the tubular sample is enhanced through internal and external clamping, the stress concentration of the clamp is reduced, the probability that the liquid lead-based alloy is in direct contact with the interior of the clamp is decreased, the corrosion of the liquid lead-based alloy to main structural components inside the clamp is reduced, and the service life of the clamp is prolonged.

Disclosed herein is an interlocking siding panel system for securing to the side of a structure with planar surfaces. When the panel is secured to the structure through the nail strip a full contact strip opposite the nail strip lays flat against the structure causing the panel portion below an point of inflection in the panel to raise up off of the structure creating a gap to facilitate movement of moisture past a locking leg that integrates with the panel below.
