MicroPort. MicroPort is a multinational medical technology developer and manufacturer that is primarily headquartered in Shanghai, China. It mainly designs and produces medical devices for a range of fields including cardiology, interventional radiology, orthopedics, electrophysiology, and surgical management. MicroPort is considered one of the global Medtech Big 100 and has been consistently known as the leading spender in research and development by percentage of revenue.

History 
MicroPort was founded in 1998 by Zhaohua Chang, who currently serves as CEO, chairman, and Director. The company rose to prominence from the early success of its coronary stent line due its focus on serving the needs of the Chinese device market. It is now one of the top global manufacturers of cardiac interventional devices. Notably, it produces the world's first and only commercially available targeted drug eluting stent system, which uses a significantly reduced amount of drug than traditional drug eluting stents while maintaining effectiveness. As of early 2018, MicroPort is one of few medical device companies still developing a commercial coronary bioresorbable stent with ongoing clinical trials.

Beginning in the 2010s, MicroPort has rapidly expanded around the world via international acquisitions to other medical device industries, including orthopedics and cardiac rhythm management. These acquisitions have been followed up with substantial local investment, including a US$398 Million investment in 2019 to develop pacemakers and defibrillators in France. 

In 2022, MicroPort established its US headquarters in Irvine, California with facilities that include a manufacturing base and innovation center. As of 2022, its principal business is valued at over US$6.5 Billion.

Acquisitions 
In 2014, MicroPort expanded operations in the United States by acquiring Wright Medical's OrthoRecon business to become the 6th largest international producer of orthopedic devices at the time. MicroPort's orthopedic business is based in Arlington, Tennessee and in 2018 has expanded its business into India.

In 2018, MicroPort and LivaNova closed the sale of LivaNova's cardiac rhythm management business for $190M.

In 2018, MicroPort purchased Lombard Medical, a UK-based endovascular device company, from bankruptcy after it defaulted on loans in early 2018.

In 2021, MicroPort purchased Hemovent GmbH, a German-based manufacturer of extracorporeal life support systems.

Kawasaki Ki-91. The Kawasaki Ki-91 was a Japanese heavy bomber developed by Kawasaki Aircraft Industries during the later years of World War II.

Development
In early 1943, following the cancellation of the Nakajima Ki-68 and Kawanishi Ki-85 due to the failure of the Nakajima G5N, Kawasaki responded to the Imperial Japanese Army's requirement for a long-range bomber of similar size and performance to the B-29 Superfortress with the Ki-91. Like the G5N, Ki-68, and Ki-85, the Ki-91 was to be capable of launching attacks on the continental US from Japan. In April 1944, a wooden mockup was built for inspection and, by May, production of the first prototype was ordered. Construction of the prototype began in June, but the first B-29 raids on Japan were underway beginning that month. In February 1945, the first Ki-91 prototype was 60 percent complete when a B-29 air raid damaged the facility in Gifu Prefecture where the Ki-91 prototype was being built, bringing the program to a halt.

Design
The Ki-91 was a design for a heavy bomber similar in size and bombload to the B-29 Superfortress and Consolidated B-32. It had a bigger wingspan and fuselage than the B-29 and B-32 and featured a pressurized cabin to allow high-altitude flights. The prototype was to lack a pressurized cabin, but production aircraft were to be built with the pressurized cabin.

LVG D.II. The LVG D.II (company designation D 12) was a German fighter plane built by LVG in World War I. It originally flew in 1916, but was damaged during flight tests and never saw production.

Design
The D.II was a single-seat biplane fighter with wings of unequal span and a plywood covered semi-monocoque fuselage as seen on the earlier D.10 prototype fighter. V struts connected the wings, and the fuselage occupied the gap between the wings. The pilot's cockpit was situated just behind the wing's trailing edge, with a small headrest behind it. The D.II also had a cross axle undercarriage.

LVG D.III. 

The LVG D.III was a German fighter plane built by LVG in World War I.

Design
The D.III was similar to the LVG D.II in that it was a single-seat biplane fighter with wings of unequal span and a plywood covered semi-monocoque fuselage. N struts between the wings and two sets of 'V' struts held the center section of the upper wing above the fuselage. The lower wing had rounded tips, while upper wings had straight tips with a slight angle.

Development
Test flights began in May 1917 and were completed by 2 June 1917. However, the Idflieg decided that the D.III was too large and too heavy, so the D.III remained a prototype.

Caproni Ca.603. The Caproni Ca.603 was an aerobatic training aircraft built in Italy by Caproni in the early 1940s.

Design
The Ca.603 was derived from the training two-seater Ca.602 but differed in having a smaller wing surface and a more reinforced structure, with sturdy interconnecting uprights between the upper and lower wings. The aircraft had the fuselage in steel tubes welded and covered up to the passenger compartment, by duralumin panels; the remaining part of the fuselage was in canvas. The wings were of the same opening, based on a wooden two- sided beam; the leading edge and the end were covered with plywood, while the rest of the wing was covered in canvas. The wings were connected to each other by tubular steel uprights stanched and braced by tie rods; the fairing cart was fixed, with independent wheels, with the swiveling rear wheel and open steering position. The full tail was redesigned and decidedly wider.

Development
In tests conducted between November and December 1940 the acrobatic performances were judged excellent, except in the figure of the screw probably due to the excessive size of the tail plans. However it was judged as the best acrobatic airplane in existence; however, they proposed changes concerning the change of the wing profile with the progress of the passenger compartment, and also possibly the modification of the vertical embedment both in length and in the design.

The only example in May 1942 was transferred to the Rome-Centocelle airport; after 1943 the traces of the aircraft were lost.

LVG D.IV. 

The LVG D.IV was a German fighter plane built by LVG in World War I.

Design
The D.IV was similar to the D.III in having a plywood covered semi-monocoque fuselage, but the 195hp Benz Bz IIIb V-8 direct drive engine allowed for a cleaner nose than the NAG C III engine of the D.III. It retained the single axle main undercarriage of the D.III and had a similar tail structure. The D.IV was a single bay biplane with V struts between the wings. It used landing and flying wires. Both wings were straight edged and equal chord. The upper wing had straight edges, a wider span and wider chord, the lower wing had curved tips. The pilot's cockpit was below the rear half of the upper wing, with a curved cut-out for the pilot.

Development
The first prototype of the D.IV was destroyed in a flight on 5 January 1918, when the crankshaft broke in flight, creating a fire. The second prototype made it to the first of the D-type fighter competitions at Adlershof, but was lost on 29 January 1918 when the engine caught fire, destroying the aircraft. Because both prototypes were destroyed in crashes, the D.IV program was axed.

LVG D.V. The LVG D.V was a prototype German biplane fighter built by LVG in World War I.

Design
The D.V was a single-seat biplane fighter which featured a slab-sided plywood-covered fuselage as well as equal span wings, both of which had straight leading edges and rounded tips, but the upper wing chord was shorter, opposite to normal contemporary practice. The rudder was almond-shaped and carried on a tubular spar, with the entire vertical tail moving.

Development
The D.V made its first flight in the summer of 1918. Tests showed it be very fast yet hard to control; at the end of a test flight in July 1918, the D.V, piloted by its designer Paul Ehrhardt, crash-landed and was badly damaged.
