Abstract: An MR marker (501, 601, 803, 902) for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) guided intervention and method of fabricating same. The tracking device can be integrated with an MRI-guided robotic system to provide precise positional tracking of the interventional tools and robotic components, allowing safe operation inside the human body. The MR tracking device includes a plurality of stacked flexible printed circuit boards; a plurality of flat planar spirals comprised of a non-ferromagnetic material and directly disposed on a top surface and a bottom surface side of each flexible printed circuit board, a biocompatible, non-ferromagnetic material encapsulating the flexible printed circuit boards; and an adhesive bonding the flexible printed circuit boards. In another aspect, an orientation-independent device is provided including three or more markers (501, 601, 803, 902) in an array around a cylindrical substrate.

Abstract: A flexible filament lamp includes a bulb shell, a spiral LED filament, a lamp cap connected to the bulb shell, a stem disposed in the bulb shell, and first and second leads disposed in the stem. Both of the first and second leads are electrically connected to the lamp cap. The stem has a metal sheet bracket with a fixing ring extended from both sides of the metal sheet bracket for fixing the spiral LED filament. The first lead is electrically connected to an end of the spiral LED filament. The second lead is electrically connected to the other end of the spiral LED filament after passing through the metal sheet bracket. The metal sheet bracket disposed on the stem is integrally formed with the fixing rings. The flexible filament lamp of this invention will not be bent easily, so as to facilitate the operation and production.

Abstract: A microstructured assembly including a barrier portions and land portions is described. The microstructures have alternating barrier portions and land portions that have barrier surfaces and land surfaces, respectively. Each barrier surface and land surface is connected by curved surface, which is part of a curved portion. The curved surface and the land surface are substantially continuous.

Abstract: In a method of making a microstructured assembly, a substantially uniform coating of a curable material is formed on a substrate with the coating defining a leading edge. The coating is contacted with a mold starting at the leading edge to form in the curable material a plurality of barrier regions connected by intervening land regions. The curable material is cured and the mold is removed. Optionally, the coating includes a binder. Such a coating can optionally be debinded. In addition, the coating can be fired to form ceramic microstructures.

Abstract: A molding composition is provided that includes an inorganic component, an organic binder component, and a debinding catalyst. The molding composition is capable of lowering the sintering temperature, for example, when the molding composition is used to make ceramic microstructures such as barrier ribs for plasma display panels.
