Abstract: The whole surfaces (10a, 20a) are made hydrophobic. An upper channel (11)
and a lower channel (21) to be stacked on each other to form a flow path (2) are formed
in the surfaces (10a, 20a), respectively. A first through hole (12) and a second through
hole (13) are formed at predetermined positions in the upper plate (10). The upper plate
(10) and lower plate (20) are stacked on each other, and are secured by an upper
pressure-contact member (30), a lower pressure-contact member (40) and bolts (51). A
microfluidic device capable of preventing leakage of fluid can thereby be manufactured
without undergoing a step of irreversible integration. Preferably, the plates are made of
Fe-Ni alloy, and hydrophobicity is achieved by boron nitride obtained as a result of
surface segregation. The channels are formed by etching.

Abstract: While a driving torque TD outputted to a driving shaft (15) via an AT
(13) from an engine (11) is detected (S140), a road-surface transmitting torque
Td_tire is detected (S160) based on rotation speeds Vwdr, Vwdl of vehicle driving
wheels, a vehicle body speed Vd, and driving torques Tdr, Tdl, all of which are
previously detected. The driving torque TD and the road-surface transmitting
torque Td_tire are then compared to each other (S170). When TD > Td_tire
(S170: YES), the driving torque from an engine is controlled (S190, S200) so as to
decrease a value of (TD - Td_tire). The vibrations of individual vehicle parts are
thereby decreased.

Abstract: An expandable reamer includes, in one exemplary embodiment thereof, a
cannulated shaft and a plurality of straight cutting blades having deformable points.
The blades are hingably outwardly rotatable at the deformation points between a
contracted position and an expanded position. In the contracted position, the
blades are substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis of the cannulated shaft and,
in the expanded position, the blades have at least a portion oriented radially
outward from the longitudinal axis, thereby forming a larger diameter cutting
surface in the expanded position and in the contracted position. The blades are
formed from a portion of the cannulated shaft by, e.g. milling longitudinally
extending slots through the wall of the cannulated shaft, the slots serving as flutes
dividing the cutting edge and trailing edge of each adjacent blade. Each blade may
also include more than one segment arranged along its length, the segments
coupled by deformation points. The expandable reamer may be used for cutting a
cavity in a bone or other structure that is larger than the diameter of the entry point
into the bone and greater than the diameter of the contracted reamer.

Title: Procede permettant de configurer des fibres a bande interdite photonique creuses depourvues de modes de surface
Inventor: KIM HYANG KYUN
IPC: A61K31/506
Filed: 2004-09-10
Abstract: Le couplage des modes de noyau aux modes de surface dans une fibre à bande interdite photonique creuse peut entraîner de grandes pertes de propagation.  Des simulations informatiques permettent d'analyser la relation entre la géométrie et la présence des modes de surface dans des fibres à bande interdite photonique creuses possédant un motif de trous triangulaire, et d'identifier les plages de dimensions caractéristiques du coeur (p.ex., les rayons) pour lesquelles la fibre ne présente pas de modes de surface (c'est-à-dire que seuls les modes de noyau sont présents) sur toute la plage de longueurs d'onde de la bande interdite.  En particulier, pour un espacement des trous Μ et un rayon de trou ς = 0,47Μ, le coeur présente un mode unique, et il ne présente pas de modes de surface pour les rayons de coeur compris entre environ 0,7Μ et environ 1,05Μ, ce qui laisse supposer que de telles fibres devraient présenter une très faible perte de propagation.  On peut prédire de manière simple et rapide l'existence de modes de surface en étudiant soit les modes de volume seuls, soit la géométrie de la fibre, sans qu'il soit nécessaire d'effectuer une analyse complète des modes de défauts.
