    摘要: An expandable tissue supporting device of the present invention employs ductile hinges at selected points in the expandable device. When expansion forces are applied to the device as a whole, the ductile hinges concentrate expansion stresses and strains in small well defined areas. The expandable tissue supporting device includes a plurality of elongated beams arranged in a cylindrical device and connected together by a plurality of ductile hinges. Although many ductile hinge configurations are possible, the ductile hinges preferably have a substantially constant hinge cross sectional area which is smaller than a beam cross sectional area such that as the device is expanded from a first diameter to a second diameter, the ductile hinges experience plastic deformation while the beams are not plastically deformed. The expandable tissue supporting device can be provided with segments which may be expanded in a specified sequence and/or framed hole features for accommodating bifurcations.

    摘要: A method of preparing a dispersion of small particles in a polymeric precursor, which method involves providing a mixture of a particulate material and a surfactant in a nonaqueous solvent, forming a dispersion of the particulate material in the nonaqueous solvent, combining the resulting dispersion of particulate material in the nonaqueous solvent with a precursor material, and heating the combination of the dispersion of particulate material and the precursor material, with mixing, to a temperature sufficient to volatilize the nonaqueous solvent. The surfactant is soluble in the nonaqueous solvent and is adapted to stabilize the particulate material against agglomeration. The nonaqueous solvent swells the polymeric precursor near the boiling point of the nonaqueous solvent. The boiling point of the nonaqueous solvent is greater than a temperature at which the polymeric precursor may be mixed and below a temperature at which the polymeric precursor polymerizes or decomposes. In certain embodiments, the particulate material isan inorganic material. For example, the inorganic material may be a ferroelectric material, such as barium titanate and lead titanate. In other embodiments, the particulate material is a ferromagnetic material, such as magnetite and barium ferrite.

    摘要: The invention relates to a packing and presentation device for packing and holding at least one flat object, especially compact discs (50) or the like. The inventive packing and presentation device comprises a packing element (10) and a holding element (30) for holding the flat object. Said packing element (10) comprises at least one first covering element (12) and a second covering element (14) which are approximately parallel to each other when the flat object is packed, and essentially completely surround the flat object when it is packed. Furthermore, the covering elements (12, 14) are interconnected along a connection element (16) in an articulated manner in such a way that the packing element (10) can be transformed from the packed state to an unpacked state by unfolding at least one covering element (12, 14), and vice versa. The holding element (30) holds the flat object, in the packed state, approximately parallel to the longitudinal direction (M) of the connection element (16) and, in the unpacked state, at an angle (54) in relation to the longitudinal direction (M) of the connection element.

    摘要: Disclosed are a method of compensating colors in an image display device for users with color vision deficiency and a corresponding device, enabling the users with color vision deficiency to view display images as vividly and naturally as normal users. The method for compensating colors in an image display device includes a step of determining whether a user is partially color blind or normal, and a step of controlling gain values of a plurality of color signals depending upon the user's color perceptivity so as to compensate colors displayed on a screen, if the user is determined to be partially color blind.
