Abstract: A vapor permeable pressurized package is disclosed. The package includes a container defining an interior space and a partition dividing the interior space of the container into a first compartment for storing a product to be dispensed from the container and a second compartment for storing a propellant employed to selectively force the product through the outlet of the container. The partition includes pores selectively permitting propellent vapor to pass from the second compartment to the first compartment. The propellant vapor stored in the second compartment moves into the first compartment when the container is actuated for the release of the product stored in the first compartment, causing the product to be expelled through the outlet of the container.

Abstract: The device comprises a rigid former reproducing the volume of a portion of the body and suitable for receiving the compressive orthosis. The former (10) incorporates a plurality of sensors (22) distributed over various points of the former and configured in such a manner as to avoid significantly modifying the surface profile of the former, the sensors essentially measuring the pressure applied locally on the former by the orthosis at the location of the sensor and perpendicularly to the surface of the former. Advantageously, at the location of the measurement point, each sensor comprises a thin wall capable of being subjected to microdeformation under the effect of the pressure applied by the orthosis, and means such as a strain gauge bridge, for example. The thin wall can constitute a portion of a support pellet which is fitted to the former in such a manner that its outside surface, which includes the thin wall, is flush with the outside surface of the former.

Abstract: A device to retrieve a specimen from soft tissue includes a cannula having an axial lumen, a sharpened distal tip and at least one tissue urging feature extending along at least a portion of the length of the cannula. As the cannula rotates, the tissue urging feature urges the specimen into the lumen. A vacuum may be used to assist in drawing the specimen into the lumen. The tissue urging feature may be continuous or discontinuous, such as a spiral thread within the lumen of the cannula, spirally wound raised features or a combination of raised and recessed features. The lumen may include a proximal section having a larger diameter than a distal section thereof. A soft tissue biopsy method includes a step of advancing a rotating cannula-stylet combination into a mass of soft tissue, the cannula having a distal center lumen and a proximal center lumen aligned with the distal lumen, the proximal lumen having a larger diameter than the diameter of the distal lumen. The stylet is at least partially retracted when the combination is near the target site within the soft tissue. The tissue within the distal lumen is then twisted and compressed as the tissue progresses therethrough as the cannula rotates and advances to and through the target site. The twisted and compressed tissue is thereafter at least partially untwisted and decompressed as it enters the proximal lumen. The tissue is then collected from the proximal lumen.

Abstract: A disk drive system having a magnetic tunnel junction (MTJ) sensor having two MTJ stacks between first and second shields and a common electrode disposed between the two MTJ stacks. A first sense current is provided to the first MTJ stack by the first shield and the common electrode and a second sense current is provided to the second MTJ stack by the second shield and the common electrode. The magnetization directions of the pinned layers of the first and second MTJ stacks are fixed perpendicular to the ABS and antiparallel with respect to each other so that the magnetoresistive signal generated due to an external field from a disk by the first MTJ stack differs in phase by 180° with respect to the magnetoresistive signal generated due to the same external field by the second MTJ stack. The voltages developed across the two MTJ stacks (voltages due to the presence of thermal asperities and voltages due to the presence of data fields) are applied to the inputs of a differential amplifier for substantial elimination of the thermal asperity signal.

Abstract: The aim of the invention is to provide for a bipolar transistor and a method for producing the same. Said bipolar transistor should have minimal base-emitter capacities and very good high frequency characteristics. The static characteristics, especially the base current ideality and the low frequency noise, of a bipolar transistor with weakly doped cap layer (116) should not significantly deteriorate and process complexity should not increase. According to the invention, the problem is solved by inserting a special doping profile in a cap layer (116) (cap doping) which has been produced epitaxially. A minimal base emitter capacity and very good high frequency characteristics can be obtained by means of said doping profile. At the same time, the efficiency of the generation/recombination active boundary surface between the cap layer (116) and the isolator (117) in the polysilicon overlapping area in the relevant working area of the transistor is reduced and the base current ideality is improved. The section at the base side in the cap layer (116) has a preferred thickness of between 20 nm and 70 nm and is only doped weakly, preferably less than 5.10<16 >cm<-3>. Said section is crucial for the good high frequency characteristics.
