An apparatus and a method for treatment of benign prostatic hyperplasia are disclosed. The apparatus includes an applicator piece carrying a set of electrodes shaped and positioned to create a substantial electric field in the volume of hyperplasia and a pulse generator adapted for delivery of electrical pulses above the upper electroporation limit for the neoplastic cells. The amplitude, duration and number of the electrical pulses are generally selected to cause necrosis of a significant fraction of the volume of benign prostatic hyperplasia. The apparatus may include a high frequency system for heating the prostatic tissue and a cooling system for cooling the urethra. The combined action of heating and cooling may increase the temperature of the prostate cells to 45 degrees C. to 55 degrees C., while keeping the urinary tract at a temperature 15 degrees C. to 20 degrees C. This temperature distribution can increase the selectivity of the treatment by increasing susceptibility of the neoplastic cells to the electroporation treatment and decreasing it for the normal urethral tissues.

A pencil-type glow plug for a self-igniting internal combustion engine is described. The pencil-type glow plug includes a plug body in which a combustion chamber pressure sensor is integrated, and a bar-shaped heating element that protrudes out from the plug body at one end, into the combustion chamber of the internal combustion engine. A force-measuring element of the combustion chamber pressure sensor is accommodated behind the heating element, which moves axially under the influence of force. The force-measuring element is sealed against combustion chamber gases by a steel diaphragm made of a stainless precipitation-hardened maraging steel.

Disclosed is a method of reducing the compaction of glass formed by a down draw process. The glass may be a glass sheet or a glass ribbon. Once the glass is formed, it is thermally treated on a molten metal bath for a time and at a temperature effective to reduce the fictive temperature of the glass below a predetermined level. In one embodiment, a glass ribbon is formed in a fusion process and the glass ribbon redirected onto a molten metal bath where the ribbon is thermally treated.

To provide a method for producing rustproof-coated steel strand of low relaxation at low cost.The method comprises the following process: Steel strand A formed by laying up a plurality of steel wires 1, 1... is threaded through synthetic resin extruders 4 and 5 to subject the strand A to rustproof-coating treatment and fill a thermoplastic synthetic resin material in the voids formed among the respective steel wires along with coating the outer circumference of the strand A with the thermoplastic synthetic resin material. In this process, after forming the strand A by laying up the plurality of steel wires 1, 1..., the strand A is subjected to blueing treatment, and the strand A heated by the blueing treatment is threaded through the synthetic resin extruders 4 and 5 to subject the strand A to the rustproof-coating treatment.

In sophisticated semiconductor devices, the initial strain component of a globally strained semiconductor layer may be substantially preserved during the formation of shallow trench isolations by using a rigid mask material, which may efficiently avoid or reduce a deformation of the semiconductor islands upon patterning the isolation trenches. Consequently, selected regions with high internal stress levels may be provided, irrespective of the height-to-length aspect ratio, which may limit the application of globally strained semiconductor layers in conventional approaches. Furthermore, in some illustrative embodiments, active regions of substantially relaxed strain state or of inverse strain type may be provided in addition to the highly strained active regions, thereby enabling an efficient process strategy for forming complementary transistors.

Various applications are directed to a material stack having a strained active material therein. In connection with an embodiment, an active material (e.g. a semiconductor material) is at least initially and partially released from and suspended over a substrate, strained, and held in place. The release and suspension facilitates the application of strain to the semiconductor material.

A stapling device includes two casing members, a pad seat, and a striker plate. The casing members, which can be combined together, have front ends respectively forming front-end plates abutting each other. The two casing members are rotatably coupled to a press-down handle that is selectively pressed down. The pad seat is set at the front end of the interior of the two combined casing members. The pad seat has a front end face, which define, collectively with the inside surfaces of the front-end plates of the two casing members, a striker plate channel. The striker plate is slidably received in the striker plate channel. The striker plate is selectively pulled by the press-down handle to move upward. The two casing members clamp and retain therebetween a spring plate for providing a striking pre-loading force to the striker plate.

A method for generating a thermoplastic foam from an aqueous dispersion, the aqueous dispersion comprising a thermoplastic resin, water, and a dispersion stabilizing agent, the method including: adding at least one froth stabilizing surfactant to the aqueous dispersion to form a mixture; adding a fiber to the mixture; and frothing the mixture to create a froth, removing at least a portion of the water in the froth to create a foam, wherein the foam generated has a non-cellular fibrillated morphology. In another aspect, embodiments disclosed herein relate to a foam having a thermoplastic-based, fibrillated, non-cellular structure, wherein the foam has an average density of about 0.02 g / cm3 to about 0.07 g / cm3. In certain embodiments, the foam may be used in an absorbent article.

A conventional composition of carbon nitride has a deposition method and properties limited. In the case of using the composition of carbon nitride as a protective film, for example, a material of an object to be coated (goods) is required to satisfy with a condition in disagreement with a temperature during forming the composition of carbon nitride. Besides, in the case of using the composition of carbon nitride as an insulating film in a semiconductor device, low stress relaxation and low coverage for a step are produced since the insulating film has a low hydrogen concentration.Consequently, a composition including carbon nitride according to the present invention is formed at a deposition temperature that enables to include hydrogen in the composition at 30 to 45 atomic %, for example, at temperatures of 100° C. or less, preferably 50° C. or less, more preferably from 20° C. to 30° C., with stability and adhesiveness kept.
