Abstract: The invention related to a diode 2 comprising a connecting means (6) and a heat sink base (7). Said connecting (6) has a flat end (5) fixed on a die 16 and another end without fix shape. Said heat sink base (7) comprises: a base (18) which is at the bottom of said heat sink base (7); a press-fit region (4) which is set around said base (18); a solder platform (17) which is set above said base (18); a die (16) which has a first side and a second side electrically coupled to said flat-end (5) and said solder platform (17), respectively, and is fixed on said solder platform (17); a shoulder (12) which is extended acclivitously from said solder platform (17), the root of said shoulder connected to said solder platform 17 having a kink; and a cup (14) which is extended upwardly from periphery of said base (18).

Abstract: In a preferred aspect of the invention, the upstream sequences of the TIGR protein encoding sequence can be used to diagnose a sensivity to steroids and a risk for glaucoma or ocular hypertensive disorders. Methods, kits, and nucleic acids containing polymorphisms, base substitutions, or base additions located within the upstream region and within protein-encoding regions of the TIGR gene are also provided. The upstream sequences disclosed, including the TIGR promoter regions and those regions possessing functional characteristics associated with or possessed by the TIGR gene 5′regulatory region, can also be used to generate cells, vectors, transgenic animals, and nucleic acid constructs useful in a variety of diagnostic and prognostic methods and kits as well as therapeutic compounds, compositions, and methods.

Abstract: A cooling fan structure installed in a system or a device necessitating radiation, cooling or convection, especially applied to the central processing unit of a computer for forced convection. The cooling fan structure includes a fixed base seat, a rotary vane assembly and a protective cover. The vane assembly and the fixed base seat contact with each other at one single point and an air bearing is formed to retain the vane assembly so that almost no contact abrasion will take place and the noise is minimized and the rotational speed can be increased. The cooling fan structure is manufactured at low cost and can be easily assembled.

Abstract: Air-bearing fan includes a dust-proof cover, a fan blade structure, a magnet, a stator, a sleeve, an electronic circuit board, a housing and a thrust disk. While the fan blade structure is rotating, air can be induced into a ring-shaped gap so that an air-bearing is formed. And, air is also induced into a thrust gap and forms a thrust bearing. Therefore, this invention significantly reduces the noise and increases the fan's rotating speed, fan capacity and life.

Abstract: The heat dissipating structure mainly includes a heat dissipating base, one or several heat dissipating fins, and a fixing frame. It can improve the ratio of fin's height to width, to increase the effective heat transfer area, and to promote the cooling capacity, especially for electronic elements. About the manufacturing method, it includes three steps: machining, inserting and injecting. So, the manufacturing method is simple and the required machines are general.

Abstract: The nucleic acid upstream of the TIGR protein encoding sequence can be used to diagnose glaucoma. Polymorphisms, base substitutions, base additions located with the upstream and within TIGR exons can also be used to diagnose glaucoma. In addition, polymorphisms, base substitutions, base additions located with the upstream and within TIGR exons can also be used to prognose glaucoma.

Abstract: Novel cold pearlizing concentrates provide pearlescence to personal care and beauty care products, such as shampoos and beauty soaps, providing added luster and sheen. The pearlizing agent consists essentially of a fatty acid based member selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl stearate, polyethylene glycol mono- and di-stearates, ethylene glycol mono- and distearates, stearic monoethanolamide, and mixtures thereof, wherein at least about 90% by weight of the fatty acids of said fatty acid based member consist of octadecanoic acid. The pearlizing agent has high temperature stability and is stable in shampoos which also contain a silicone emulsion, even at temperatures as high as 65.degree. C.

Abstract: Apparatus for planting green plants on reinforced concrete structures includes a T-shaped base mount having a positioning hole connected to an L-shaped tube and a high density sponge inside. The base mount is connected to a cylinder which includes a positioning hole connected to a T-shaped tube. A sand-releasing tube is connected at the bottom of the T-shaped tube and a funnel-connected snake-shaped tube is connected at the top. Another positioning hole on the cylinder is connected to an L-shaped air pipe. A cover plate having a hole at the center is attached to the top of the cylinder, the hole in the cover plate being connectable to a planting tube. The cylinder is connected to an anchor-shaped metal handle and a cylinder fixing frame so as to position the entire apparatus on steel rods within the reinforced concrete structure.
