Title: Artificial joint
Inventor: NAEGERL HANS
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2003-03-13
Abstract: The invention relates to an artificial joint (3), designed in particular to replace a talocrural joint. Said joint comprises a first primary joint surface (1) that forms an articular fossa (4), designed to replace in particular the tibia and that consists of concave curvatures running parallel to a primary function plane of the joint (3), which corresponds to the sagittal plane and comprises a second primary joint surface (2), which co-operates with the first primary joint surface (1) as a component of a condyle (5) that replaces in particular the talus and has convex curvatures (7, 8, 9, 10) on the primary function plane that are adapted to the first primary joint surface (1). The aim of the invention is to obtain a high stress resistance and optimal mobility of the joint (3), subject to the respective joint position. To achieve this, the radii of the curvatures (7, 8, 9, 10) are calculated in such a way that the differential amounts arising between the corresponding radii of the first primary joint surface (1) and the second primary joint surface (2) in an ascending angular position (V) in relation to a descending angular position and also simultaneously between a medial face (11) and a lateral face (12) of the joint (3) deviate from one another.

Abstract: Rod-like molecules (1) are admixed into a smectic C liquid
crystal (2). According to the least-energy principle for electrostatic
energy each rod-like molecule (1) has its permanent dipole moment
aligned in a direction along a boundary layer between adjacent
molecular layers of the liquid crystal and such permanent dipoles in
adjacent boundary layers are aligned with their dipole moments
opposed to each other in the direction of orientation. The character
"〈 " bar regions of rod-like molecules (1) cause liquid crystal
molecules inclined along their major axes to be axially inclined in an
opposite direction every other layer whereby a smectic C A  phase is
formed in which the layer of liquid crystal molecules inclined in one
direction and the layer of those inclined in the other direction
alternate. Using a chiral smectic C A  liquid crystal formed from chiral
smectic C-phase liquid crystal molecules by substituting a terminal
group of each such molecule with an optically active group gives rise
to an antiferroelectric liquid crystal.

Abstract: The invention relates to a polyacrylate-based pressure-sensitive adhesive. In said adhesive between 60 and 85 wt. % of the polymer, (in relation to the monomer blend), is composed of acrylic acid esters and/or methacrylic acid esters of the following formula CH2 = C(R1)(COOR2), where R1 = H or CH3 and R2 = a linear or branched alkyl group comprising between 1 and 14 C atoms. Said adhesive contains between 10 and 40 wt. % isobornyl acrylate (in relation to the monomer blend). The resultant pressure-sensitive adhesive has an adhesive force, (immediate adhesive force at a peeling angle of 180°, see test A), at a take-off speed ranging between 0.1 cm/minute and 100 m/minute that lies within a tolerance range of ±15 %, thus guaranteeing a reliable and simple release in practically all cases requiring reversible adhesion.

Abstract: In a method for forming a wiring using a dual damascene process in
which a multilayer wiring structure is formed by embedding a first etching
space formed in an interlayer insulating layer and a second etching space
which communicates thereto with a conductor material, a number of steps may
be reduced and flexibility in the step management is enhanced without
deteriorating a low dielectric material layer which constitutes the interlayer
insulating layer. Therefor, a filler material whose major ingredient is a
spin-on-glass material capable of being easily removed by a stripping solution
which gives no damage to the interlayer insulating layer is used as a material
filled in the first etching space in order to protect a lower wiring layer from
exposure light to form a photoresist pattern for forming the second etching
space. Furthermore, no light absorbing material for absorbing the exposure
light is added to this filler material. Instead, a reflection preventing film
capable of being processed by dry etching or a reflection preventing film which
is soluble in a developer is formed on a filler material layer.
