  • Publication number: 20100265671
    Abstract: The package structure of the PCB comprises a substrate and a frame. The frame is located at the top of the substrate, and the substrate and the frame define a receiving space. The electronic components are mounted on the substrate and distributed in the receiving space. Because of the protection of the frame, the electronic components are effectively protected from the collision of installation in the process or use in the process. The substrate can be a flexible circuit board or a rigid-flex PCB and the electronic components are directly embedded in the substrate. Therefore the thickness of the package structure is reduced.

  • Patent number: 7709539
    Abstract: Resveratrol, an antioxidant found in various fruits, vegetables, grapes, and red wines, has been shown to have free radical scavenging, anti-inflammatory and anti-thrombogenic activities in biological systems. Moreover, resveratrol has also been shown to be a good cancer preventive chemical and has been recommended as a food supplement for health benefits. Resveratrol can effectively lower the blood sugar in both type 1 (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM) and type 2 (insulin-independent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) diabetic rats. Resveratrol could also delay the onset of the insulin-resistant phenotype in experimental rats with prolonged injection of insulin. Further, resveratrol simultaneously slows down the body weight increment compared with untreated insulin resistant animals.

  • Publication number: 20080233552
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a method of cross-linking amnion to be an improved biomedical material. The present invention adopts the amnion cross-linked by EDC (N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N?-ethyl-carbodiimide HCI) or NHS (N-hydroxysuccinimide), and the cross-linked amnion not only has more resistance to protease, but also binds specific extracellular matrix (ECM) such as heparin by using cross-linked functional group. Further, by using the affinity of the ECM with specific growth factors, the amnion can be an efficient carrier for specific growth factor. Hence, some specific diseases may be treated.
