  • Patent number: 8264139
    Abstract: A fluorescent display device includes a housing having with a glass substrate and a circuit board adhered to the inner surface of the glass substrate of the housing. The circuit board includes an anode formed of multiple anode conductors, control elements for controlling the anode conductors and a phosphor layer formed on the anode conductors. The fluorescent display further includes an electron source formed above the anode in the housing, from which electrons are bombarded to the phosphor layer corresponding to the anode conductors selected by the control elements so that a desired display can be obtained. An aluminum thin film with the aluminum area ratio within a range from 30 to 60% is formed on the inner surface of the glass substrate and the circuit board is fixed to the aluminum thin film via a die-bond material.

  • Patent number: 7113841
    Abstract: An implant designing method to be applied to a body of bone which has a bone deficient portion, wherein the bone being substantially symmetric with respect to a plane of symmetry, includes generating three-dimensional data of the bone based on a plurality of pieces of tomographic data of the bone, and estimating a shape of a bone that is to exist at the bone deficient portion using part of the three-dimensional data corresponding to a symmetrical part of the bone deficient portion.

  • Patent number: 7050877
    Abstract: A method for modeling an implant to be applied to a defect of a bone comprises the steps of obtaining a plurality of tomographic image data of the bone based on measurement data by MRI, producing three-dimensional image data of the bone based on the plurality of tomographic image data, and estimating a shape of a missing born that was previously present or should have been present in the defect of the bone to obtain three-dimensional data of the implant. The estimating step comprises the steps of estimating a provisional shape of the implant which has a contour conformable with the shape of a contour of periphery of the side walls of the defect at the distal surface of the bone and has a predetermined thickness; and deleting data of portions of the provisional shape of the implant that overlap the bone from the data of the provisional shape of the implant so that the three-dimensional data of the implant has an outer peripheral shape that is conformable with the shape of the side walls of the defect.

  • Patent number: 6733528
    Abstract: A method for forming an implant having a desired shape includes the steps of (a) forming a layer of ingredient powder having a predetermined thickness composed of an ingredient powder, and (b) applying an reactant liquid to the layer in accordance with the desired shape of the implant, portions of the ingredient powder reacting with the reactant liquid being hardened. The above steps are repeated to stack a plurality of the layers having hardened portions, respectively, to form a three-dimensional implant formed by a stack of the hardened portions of the layers of the ingredient powder. The ingredient powder is a powder including at least one of a-tricalcium phosphate and tetracalcium phosphate, and a Ca/P ratio of the powder is within a range of 1.40 through 2.0.
