International Classification:

A61B 17/34

US Classification:

606186

Abstract:

A puncturing needle device has multiple (2 or more) thin needles which are mounted onto a body part or a syringe. The combination of thinness and multitude of needle can minimize pain while drawing or injecting sufficient amount of liquid such as blood or liquid drug. The needles can be different in their length.

International Classification:

B05D 5/12
H01G 7/00
H05K 3/30

US Classification:

427 79, 29 2541, 29832

Abstract:

Disclosed are a method of making a dielectric on a metal foil, and a method of making a large area capacitor that includes a dielectric on a metal foil. A dielectric precursor layer and the base metal foil are prefired at a prefiring temperature in the range of 350 to 650 C. in a moist atmosphere that also comprises a reducing gas. The prefired dielectric precursor layer and base metal foil are subsequently fired at a firing temperature in the range of 700 to 1200 C. in an atmosphere having an oxygen partial pressure of less than about 10atmospheres to produce a dielectric. The area of the capacitor made according to the disclosed method may be greater than 10 mm, and subdivided to create a multiple individual capacitor units that may be embedded in printed wiring boards. The dielectric is typically comprised of crystalline barium titanate or crystalline barium strontium titanate.

International Classification:

H01G 4/00
B05D 5/12

US Classification:

361303, 29 2542, 427 79

Abstract:

Disclosed are methods of making a dielectric on a metal foil, and a method of making a large area capacitor that includes a dielectric on a metal foil. A first dielectric layer is formed over the metal foil by physical vapor deposition, and a dielectric precursor layer is formed over the first dielectric layer by chemical solution deposition. The metal foil, first dielectric layer and dielectric precursor layer are prefired at a prefiring temperature in the range of 350 to 650 C. The prefired dielectric precursor layer, the first dielectric layer and the base metal foil are subsequently fired at a firing temperature in the range of 700 to 1200 C.

Abstract:

The present invention provides a thick-film paste for printing the front side of a solar cell device having one or more insulating layers and a method for doing so. The thick-film paste comprises a source of an electrically conductive metal and a lead-vanadium-based oxide dispersed in an organic medium. The invention also provides a semiconductor device comprising an electrode formed from the thick-film paste.

Appl. No.:

16/987368

Inventors:

Esther Kim - San Gabriel CA, US

International Classification:

A01M 1/14
A01M 3/04

Abstract:

An extendable and adjustable insect entrapment apparatus reaches insects and pests in hard to reach areas through a multi-jointed elongated rod that hinges and pivots into various configuration to reach and entrap the insects with a pad of stacked, singular sticky sheets. The rod has a proximal end with a formed hole for hanging the apparatus from a distal end. At least one joint in the rod is fixedly set at a desired angle and orientation. The sticky sheets retain any insects which travel or fall into a base at the distal end of the rod. Each sheet is coated with a mild compression adhesive material that entraps an insect in response to an application of force against the insect. Each sticky sheet can be separated individually. Upon entrapment of an insect, the outermost sticky sheet restraining the insect is separated, folded to encase the insect, and disposed of.

International Classification:

A61B 5/0478
A61B 5/18
A61B 5/00
A61B 5/16

Abstract:

In one aspect, an apparatus for detecting fatigue comprises a dry-contact electroencephalogram (EEG) electrode to measure EEG data operably coupled to at least one processor. The at least one processor is to: calculate a frequency domain representation of the EEG data, detect spectral features indicative of fatigue based on the frequency domain representation; and determine whether the brain is fatigued based on the detection. In another aspect, a method for detecting fatigue comprises receiving EEG data from dry-contact EEG electrode, calculating a frequency domain representation of the EEG data, detecting spectral features indicative of fatigue based on the frequency domain representation; and determining whether the brain is fatigued based on the detection.
