An insect station for luring insects, baiting insects, trapping insects, monitoring insects or any combination of these functions includes a cover that can be moved to provide access to selected insect suppression devices, such as glueboards or baited pads. The insect station may have two changeable pad areas situated facing each other to provide a compact design. In addition, a base portion of the station may have a wall access opening to facilitate applying insecticide behind a wall. The insect station of the present invention may be used with any combination of attractant pads, bait, and glueboards, as well as many other insect suppression devices.

A bone cement having a dry component including a large constituent and a small constituent. The small constituent fills a substantial volume of the interstitial spaces between the particles of the large constituent. Therefore, only a second or minor interstitial space is left remaining between the individual particles of the small constituent and the particles of the small constituent and the particles of the large constituent. Therefore, a reduced amount of a polymerizable component need be added to the dry component to form a bone cement. Such a bone cement formulation decreases the exothermic temperature of the bone cement and decreases the possibility of tissue necrosis in the implantation area.

A liquid crystal display device includes first and second substrates facing each other; gate lines and data lines formed on the first substrate such that the gate lines and the data lines intersect each other to define pixel regions; thin film transistors formed at respective intersections of the gate lines and the data lines; a black matrix layer formed on the second substrate such that the black matrix layer corresponds to a region other than the pixel regions; color filter layers extending in an extension direction of the data lines in respective pixel regions; a liquid crystal layer interposed between the first and second substrates; first column spacers formed on one of the first and second substrates such that each first column spacer corresponds to an associated one of the gate lines or to a channel region of an associated one of the thin film transistors to maintain a cell gap between the first and second substrate; and spacer patterns formed on one of the first and second substrates such that each spacer pattern corresponds to at least one of an associated one of the gate lines and an associated one of the data lines, thereby forming a first gap between the spacer pattern and the other substrate facing the spacer pattern, and reducing an amount of liquid crystals filled between the first and second substrates.

An object of the present invention is to form spacers for defining the space between the TFT substrate and the facing substrate of color filters, and by doing so, finely control the height of the spacers. First spacers 10 are formed of green color filters G in pillar form on top of red color filters R and blue color filters B (green color filters G) having a large area between blue pixels BP; second spacers 20 are formed by layering blue color filters B (green color filters G) and green color filters G having a large area on top of red color filters R in pillar form between green pixels GP; and the second spacers 20 are shorter than the first spacers 10 due to the leveling effects of the layered blue color filters B (green color filters G) and green color filters G.

A liquid accommodating container in which in a use position, a port opened to the air is provided at a position that is closer to an air chamber uppermost surface and is included in a first corner portion, an air-side opening is provided at a position that is closer to an air chamber lowermost surface and is included in a second corner portion which is at a diagonal position to the first corner portion, and a liquid-side opening is provided at a position satisfying the following conditions (a) and (b), (a) a position closer to a liquid chamber lowermost surface with respect to the vertical direction in the use position and (b) a position which is included in the second corner portion that is at a position equivalent to a diagonal position to the first corner portion.

Disclosed is A liquid pump dispenser. A fluid path opening and closing section has a rod-shaped body part which is installed in a discharge guide path and a sliding guide groove of a push button, a wing part which is formed around the body part to be brought into close contact with an inner surface of the sliding guide groove, and a return spring which is disposed in the sliding guide groove to bias the wing part toward the discharge guide path. The body part is retracted to an opening position for opening the discharge guide path with respect to the outside by pressure applied from pumped liquid entering the discharge guide path to the wing part and is extended to a closing position for closing the discharge guide path with respect to the outside by pressure applied from the return spring to the wing part.

The invention provides a sensor for sensing contents of components to be measured in human tissue fluid, which comprises a micro cantilever beam sensing unit. The micro cantilever beam sensing unit comprises a first substrate, a micro cantilever beam which is parallel to the first substrate and one end of the micro cantilever beam is supported on the first substrate, a gold film formed on at least one lateral surface of the micro cantilever beam, a protein layer formed on the gold film and used for adsorbing glucose molecules in the human tissue fluid on the surface of the protein layer, a driving electrode arranged on the first substrate, a micro cantilever beam electrode formed on the position where the first substrate supports the micro cantilever beam and used for combining the driving electrode to drive the micro cantilever beam to resonate along the direction vertical to the first substrate, and a measuring electrode arranged on the first substrate and used for combining the micro cantilever beam electrode to measure the resonance frequency of the micro cantilever beam. The invention also provides a fluid channel unit, a sensor system and a method for measuring the contents of the components to be measured in the human tissue fluid.

A method of repairing an LCD panel having a mura defect is disclosed. The closed seal pattern of the LCD panel has a shape of frame with at least one jut portion directing to a peripheral side of the two substrates. Thus, when a mura defect occurs, a peripheral portion on one side of the two substrates is cut off, wherein the cutting passes across the jut portion of the closed seal pattern to form an opening with respect to the sealed region. An extra amount of liquid crystal can be pressed out through the opening. Then the opening is sealed using a sealant, such that the LCD panel having a mura defect is repaired.
