Abstract: The invention relates to a medical device (20,21) for supporting at least one region of the body comprising at least one textile panel (26,27) having a longitudinal direction (L) and a transversal direction (T) arranged so as to encircle all or part of said region of the body to be supported. Said textile panel (26,27) comprises a woven textile strip, or several woven textile strips (1,28,29) at least partially superposed, said woven strip or said woven strips (28,29) each having a warp direction (C) and a weft direction (t), and comprising weft threads (2), first elastic warp threads (3), second non-elastic warp threads (4), and third warp threads (5), said first warp threads (3) and said second warp threads (4) being woven according to a leno shed the second warp threads forming the doup threads.

Abstract: The disclosed technology generally relates to memory devices, and more particularly to memory devices having an intergate dielectric stack comprising multiple high k dielectric materials. In one aspect, a planar non-volatile memory device comprises a hybrid floating gate structure separated from an inter-gate dielectric structure by a first interfacial layer which is designed to be electrically transparent so as not to affect the program saturation of the device. The inter-gate structure comprises a stack of three layers having a high-k/low-k/high-k configuration and the interfacial layer has a higher k-value than its adjacent high-k layer in the inter-gate dielectric structure. A method of making such a non-volatile memory device is also described.

Abstract: A nonvolatile memory element and associated production methods and memory element arrangements are presented. The nonvolatile memory element has a changeover material and a first and second electrically conductive electrode present at the changeover material. To reduce a forming voltage, a first electrode has a field amplifier structure for amplifying a field strength of an electric field generated by a second electrode in a changeover material. The field amplifier structure is a projection of the electrodes which projects into the changeover material. The memory element arrangement has multiple nonvolatile memory elements which are arranged in matrix form and can be addressed via bit lines arranged in column form and word lines arranged in row form.
