This invention relates to methods for making high strength friction stir welded joints. Broadly the invention provides for a method for making a friction stir welded joint including the steps of applying an adhesive to one surface of a first material to be welded; applying a second material to be welded to the adhesive the first material; curing the adhesive; and forming a friction stir weld joint through the cured adhesive by friction stir welding.

A wearable and/or a wearable mount solves many issues presented with conventional wearables and wearable mounts. For example, the wearable mount can be designed with a low ratio of adhesive contact area to wearable mount contact area while providing the capability to collect data and/or dispense medication on one specific spot and, further still, allowing the use of an easy to remove adhesive. This configuration may facilitate free movement of the body even when the wearable mount is attached to the skin. The wearable may have surface contacts, removing the need for ports that could be damaged. The adhesive layer can provide insulation and isolating properties for the contacts while the device is being worn. Finally, the wearable may be a patch-type wearable that allows the appearance of the wearable to be changed without the need for housing changes or other costly solutions.

The invention provides a small potato combine harvester. The small potato combine harvester is composed of a machine frame, a soil cutting disc device, an excavating device, a six-stage potato conveying and separating device and a potato collecting device. A first-stage conveying and separating device utilizes a quincunx-imitated vibration driver to enable a potato-soil mixture conveyed by the excavating device to slightly shake at high frequency, large soil blocks are crushed, meanwhile, front-back rolling and collision of potatoes are avoided, and damage to the potatoes is reduced; a second-stage conveying and separating device grabs small soil blocks through a finger-shaped claw type conveying device, meanwhile, the potatoes are prevented from directly falling onto a second-stage rod conveying device to bounce, mutual collision between the potatoes and between the potatoes and rods is reduced, and damage to the potatoes is further reduced; a third-stage conveying and separating device has a soil discharging function; a fourth-stage conveying and separating device uses a roller brush to brush off potato skin covering soil; and a disc-type rotating shaft of a fifth-stage conveying and separating device enables the potatoes to roll forwards, and residual soil is further removed to become clean potatoes. According to the small potato combine harvester, automatic operation of digging, separating, conveying and harvesting of the potatoes is achieved, and the harvesting efficiency and the harvesting quality of the potatoes are improved.

This application features methods of treating (e.g., reducing, ameliorating, or preventing) skin damage (e.g., induced by UVB) by decreasing the level or activity of VEGF-A, e.g., in the skin, of a subject.

The invention relates to an extract from Buddleja saligna, or a bioactive mixture consisting essentially of oleanolic acid and ursolic acid isolated from Buddleja saligna, for use in preventing and/or treating skin cancer, more specifically melanoma, and for reducing skin damage resulting from UV radiation. The invention also relates to uses and methods of treating skin cancer and reducing skin damage resulting from UV radiation using the extracts and/or bioactive mixture described. The invention further relates to an anticancer composition comprising the extracts and/or bioactive mixture, that inhibits angiogenesis and/or proliferation of cells associated with melanoma, as well as a sunscreen composition comprising the extracts and/or bioactive mixture.

Disclosed is method of protecting skin from ultraviolet radiation which comprises the step of administering a skin protective composition. The skin protective composition disclosed in the present invention includes a compound, which not only can protect normal human skin against UV-induced damage, but also exhibits protective benefits on the skin of patients with G6PD-deficiency.

The invention provides a femoral myelocavity file entryway protective sleeve provided with a handheld device. The femoral myelocavity file entryway protective sleeve comprises a sleeve body, a pipe diameter regulating ring which is connected to one end of the sleeve body and the handheld device which is arranged between the sleeve body and the pipe diameter regulating ring, wherein the handheld device is capable of freely rotating between the sleeve body and the pipe diameter regulating ring; and scale marks are arranged on the outer wall of the sleeve body. According to an embodiment of the invention, the handheld device comprises a handheld handle and a connecting rod. According to another embodiment of the invention, the sleeve body is a hollow kaleidoscope-type adjustable sleeve; and the pipe diameter regulating ring is a rotary regulating device which is capable of regulating the inner diameter of the sleeve body by rotating. The protective sleeve disclosed by the invention is reasonable in design, simple in overall structure and convenient to hold in operations. Meanwhile, the pipe diameter of the sleeve can be regulated to adapt to myelocavity files which are different in model and diameter; therefore, the protective sleeve has good compatibility with operation tools from different manufacturers.
