Abstract:
A conductive electronic material is provided, which consist of one or more conductive fibres of a chain of bacterial cells, which comprise a plurality of said conductive fibres and/or subfibre filaments arranged in parallel in the periplasmic space along the length and around the periphery of said chain of cells, wherein the outside of said chain of cells is non-conductive. Also, electronic components and device structures, which comprise such conductive material is provided, as well as methods of their production.
Abstract:
The systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to safely coupling and decoupling various solid objects with the use of pressure-sensitive adhesive. In particular, the disclosure relates to methods and systems for delivering vibrational energy to a pressure-sensitive coupled structure, sufficient to decrease coupling strength of the pressure-sensitive adhesive as well as to decouple or reposition the coupled objects.
Abstract:
A device for substance delivery to and/or extraction from the tympanic cavity, comprising: a housing, having a distal surface, a proximal surface that is opposite to the distal surface, and a circumscribed surface that connects the distal surface and the proximal surface; at least one piercing element having at least one proximal piercing end and at least one distal piercing end, disposed within the housing in such manner that the at least one distal piercing end is/are generally facing the distal surface of the housing; and a means for flexing the tympanic membrane toward the distal end of the at least one piercing element.
Abstract:
La présente invention se rapporte à implant dentaire du type comprenant une embase d'ancrage intra-osseux pourvue de moyens de raccordement à un pilier de support d'une dent prothétique, caractérisé en ce que lesdits moyens de raccordement comprennent une cavité tronconique interne ménagée dans la partie supérieure de l'embase dont le pourtour extérieur est muni d'un bord périphérique chanfreiné et le pourtour intérieur, d'un relief d'indexation et qui est destinée à recevoir, par emboîtement, la base homothétique dudit pilier.

Abstract:
A device for substance delivery to and/or extraction from the tympanic cavity, comprising: a stationary body having a distal surface, a proximal surface; a movable body having a distal surface and a proximal surface, disposed within the stationary body and free to move relative to the stationary body; at least one piercing element having a distal end and a proximal end, disposed in the movable body; and a means for moving the movable body relative to the stationary body.
Abstract:
It is disclosed a method of printing comprising the steps of: providing a solid state material having at least one exposed surface; applying an auxiliary layer to the exposed surface to form a composite structure, the auxiliary layer having a stress pattern; subjecting the composite structure to conditions facilitating fracture of the solid state material along a plane at a depth therein; and removing the auxiliary layer and, therewith, a layer of the solid state material terminating at the fracture depth, an exposed surface of the removed layer of solid state material having a surface topology corresponding to the stress pattern.
Abstract:
In a method for producing a free-standing solid state layer, a solid state material is provided having at least one surface available for layer formation thereon and a layer of polymer is formed on the available surface. The solid state material and polymer layer are then exposed to a change in local temperature from a first temperature that is about room temperature to a second temperature to cause the solid state material to fracture along a plane at a depth in the material, to produce at least one free-standing solid state layer from the solid state material.
