Abstract: A dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) and a method for forming a light-scattering layer thereof are provided. The method includes steps of: mixing zinc acetate, strong base and water into a reactive solution; immersing a transparent substrate having a nano-structural layer into the reactive solution; and stirring the reactive solution by a stirring speed of 500-1500 RPM at room temperature, to provide a high-speed flow field, so that zinc acetate can be reacted with the strong base to form flake structures of zinc oxide used as a light scattering layer. Thus, the present invention can provide a simple, rapidly and low-cost manufacturing method for forming the light-scattering layer, and can enhance the light utility rate of DSSC solar cell.

Abstract: A system and method associated with the movement of a limb. In one example, the system, such as a prosthetic or orthotic system, includes an actuator (116) that actively controls, or adjusts, the angle between a foot unit (104) and a lower limb member (102). A processing module may control movement of the actuator (116) based on data obtained from a sensor module. For instance, sensing module data may include information relating to the gait of a user and may be used to adjust the foot unit to substantially mimic the movement of a natural, healthy ankle. The system may further accommodate, for example, level ground walking, traveling up/down stairs, traveling up/down sloped surfaces, and various other user movements. In addition, the processing module may receive user input or display output signals through an external interface.; For example, the processing module may receive a heel height input from the user.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a bladeless trocar obturator to separate or divaricate body tissue during insertion through a body wall. In one aspect, the obturator of the invention comprises a shaft extending along an axis between a proximal end and a distal end; and a bladeless tip disposed at the distal end of the shaft and having a generally tapered configuration with an outer surface, the outer surface extending distally to a blunt point with a pair of side sections having a common shape and being separated by at least one intermediate section, wherein each of the side sections extends from the blunt point radially outwardly with progressive positions proximally along the axis, and the shaft is sized and configured to receive an optical instrument having a distal end to receive an image of the body tissue. With this aspect, the tapered configuration facilitates separation of different layers of the body tissue and provides proper alignment of the tip between the layers. The side sections include a distal portion and a proximal portion, the distal portion of the side sections being twisted radially with respect to the proximal portion of the side sections. The intermediate section includes a distal portion and a proximal portion, the distal portion of the intermediate section being twisted in a first radial direction and the proximal portion of the intermediate section being twisted in a second radial direction opposite the first radial direction.
