Abstract: Exemplary embodiments of apparatus and method for obtaining one or more portions of biological tissue (“micrografts”) to form grafts are provided. For example, a hollow tube can be inserted into tissue at a donor site, and a pin provided within the tube can facilitate controlled removal of the micrograft from the tube. Micrografts can be harvested and directly implanted into an overlying biocompatible matrix through coordinated motion of the tube and pin. A needle can be provided around the tube to facilitate a direct implantation of a micrograft into a remote recipient site or matrix. The exemplary apparatus can include a plurality of such tubes and pins for simultaneous harvesting and/or implanting of a plurality of micrografts. The harvested micrografts can have a small dimension, e.g., less than about 1 mm, which can promote healing of the donor site and/or viability of the harvested tissue.

Abstract: Polymeric gloves include a donning-facilitating coating. The donning-facilitating coating facilitates a hand of a user to glide into and out of the glove while either leaving a visible residue on the hand of the user, or not leaving a visible residue on the hand of the user, when the donning-facilitating coating is contacted by the hand of the user.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, an absorbent article includes a moisture-impervious outer layer, an inner layer substantially co-extensive with the outer layer, and an absorbent layer interposed between the outer layer and the inner layer. The inner layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial booster. The absorbent layer is treated with at least one antimicrobial agent.

Abstract: Face mask including a mask body, lining around an edge of the mask body, and a nose strip, wherein the complete face mask including the mask body, the lining, and the nose strip is made of a single recyclable material, such as PET. The face mask can be ground directly for recycling without first separating the parts of the face mask.

Abstract: A balanced-lattice-ledge nucleant having ledge inducing local densification of proteins and a balanced-lattice inducing self-organized crystal packing. Using this balanced-lattice-ledge nucleant enhances nucleation of protein crystals.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a playing device and a playing method based on the playing device. The playing device includes a headphone interface circuit and a speaker circuit. Signal input terminals of the headphone interface circuit and the speaker circuit are directly connected to a sound source output terminal of the playing device. The signal input terminal of the speaker circuit is connected to a first enable signal output terminal when the first enable signal output terminal outputs a matched enable signal, a sound source signal output from the sound source output terminal is played by the speaker circuit. The signal input terminal of the headphone interface circuit is connected to a second enable signal output terminal. When a headphone is inserted and the second enable signal output terminal outputs a matched enable signal, a sound source signal output from the sound source output terminal is played by the headphone.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a signal transmission circuit, a signal transmission system, a signal transmission method, and an intelligent terminal. The signal transmission circuit includes an earphone interface circuit, a comparison circuit, and a control circuit. The earphone interface circuit is configured for connection to an audio receiving device. The comparison circuit is configured to acquire a voltage value corresponding to an impedance of the audio receiving device via the earphone interface circuit, the voltage value is compared with a reference voltage of the comparison circuit, to output a comparison result to the control circuit. The control circuit judges whether the audio receiving device is a digital audio device according to the comparison result, and switches the earphone interface circuit to digital output when the audio receiving device is determined to be a digital audio device.
