  • Publication number: 20110172578
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a plantar fasciitis rehabilitation controlling device. It mainly comprises a securing portion, a rotatable portion, a torque pivoting portion, a pulling portion, and a controller. The securing portion and the rotatable portion are provided for securing a user's shank and foot. This torque pivoting portion can create a torque causing the rotatable portion moving back. The pulling portion has a controller so as to pull the rotatable portion to rotate between a first angle and a second angle so that it can reduce possibility of the plantar fasciitis and ease pain of the plantar fasciitis. Hence, this invention can achieve an active rehabilitation exercise. The belt's pulling interval time can be adjusted. It has a safety switch to ensure its product safety. It is convenient that the user can use a wireless device to operate this system. In addition, the user can be informed about current condition via an audio device.

  • Publication number: 20110024880
    Abstract: A nano-patterned substrate includes a plurality of nano-particles or nanopillars on an upper surface thereof. A ratio of height to diameter of each of the nano-particles or each of the nanopillars is either greater than or equal to 1. Particularly, a ratio of height to diameter of the nanopillars is greater than or equal to 5. Each of the nano-particles or each of the nanopillars has an arc-shaped top surface. When an epitaxial growth process is applied onto the nano-patterned substrate to form an epitaxial layer, the epitaxial layer has very low defect density. Thus, a production yield of fabricating the subsequent device can be improved.
