Abstract: A trocar has an insertion tube. A tube outlet of the insertion tube communicates with a collar of the insertion tube. An incision blade is provided to the tube outlet. The tube outlet opens toward the incision blade. The incision blade can thereby be inserted into an eyeball to form an incision, and the insertion tube can be inserted in the eyeball through the incision while the incision blade remains in the eyeball. Two lateral blade edges extend from a distal blade edge in the incision blade. The blade edges have outermost blade edges located in an outer region, which is a boundary surface, which includes the inner circumferential surface of the tube outlet. Therefore, the width dimension of the incision blade can be set greater than the inner diameter of the insertion tube.

Abstract: A syringe and a syringe set are provided. The syringe can be readily distinguished from other syringes only by viewing a tip of the syringe. The syringe includes a tip provided at an end of a barrel body to be filled with a medicine and having an outer diameter of 4.315 mm to 6 mm, a peripheral wall provided around the tip concentrically with the tip, and a helical rib formed on an inner the of the peripheral wall or an outer face of the tip.

Abstract: A phototherapy device for treating neonatal hyperbilirubinemia comprises a plurality of LEDs coupled to a support structure configured to absorb and dissipate heat generated by the LEDs without requiring a fan. The LEDs provide a uniform dose of radiation on a treatment surface of the subject over a distance range of 20 cm to 45 cm. The support structure can comprise a heat-conductive metal plate. The LEDs have an emission range of 400 nm to 520 and a light output intensity of at least 30 ?W/cm2/nm and at most 65 ?W/cm2/nm at the treatment surface. The device can be adjustably coupled to a mounting structure. Power supplied to the LEDs is adjustable based on the total number of hours of use of he LEDs, the intensity of the LED radiation, the distance between the LEDs and the treatment surface, and/or the tilt or orientation of the phototherapy device.

Abstract: An optical assembly has an optical element mounted in the cavity of a barrel. A flexible ring is in contact with one of the surfaces of the optical element. The flexible ring has ring threads engaging barrel threads within the cavity. The flexible ring has a biased state in which the ring threads press against the barrel threads, and is resiliently deformable to a compressed state allowing screwing of the flexible ring within the cavity. In one variant, multiple subassemblies each having an optical element and a flexible ring are provided in the cavity of a barrel. The optical elements of subassemblies subsequent to the first one are supported by the flexible ring of the previous subassembly. The pressing of the ring threads against the barrel threads prevents a lateral shift of the flexible ring within the cavity, eliminating the decentering observed with conventional retaining rings.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel amphiphilic dendrimers, hereafter denoted Dendri-TAC. The present invention also relates to perfluorocarbon nanoemulsions stabilized by these amphiphilic dendrimers and their uses for in vivo diagnostic and/or for therapy, notably as theranostic tools, for detection and/or treatment of cancer.

Abstract: A method for fracturing or mask data preparation is disclosed in which a plurality of single-beam charged particle beam shots is used to create a plurality of multi-beam shots, where multi-beam exposure information is determined for each of the single-beam shots, and then the resulting multi-beam exposure information is used to generate a set of multi-beam shots. Additionally, a method for fracturing or mask data preparation is disclosed in which a plurality of single-beam shots is used to generate a set of multi-beam shots by calculating an image which the single-beam shots would form on a surface.

The driving current source module is controlled based on a detection result of a voltage on the node.

Abstract: Provided are a network registration method for a mobile terminal, a mobile terminal and a storage medium. The network registration method for a mobile terminal is implemented as follows. An element Ti in a time array is read in response of determining that a predetermined abnormal event occurs when a mobile terminal registers a first network. i is a positive integer between 1 and N, and N is a positive integer. The mobile terminal is prohibited from registering the first network. The mobile terminal is controlled to register a second network. A timer is started for timing to obtain a first counted time. It is determined whether the first counted time reaches Ti. A first identity is acquired if the first counted time reaches Ti. The first identifier is a tracking area identity of an adjacent cell of a registered cell when the first network is registered. The mobile terminal is controlled to re-register the first network again according to the first identity.
