  • Patent number: 11865228
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a bone void filler and a method for manufacturing the same by natural calcium-containing waste, which comprises steps of mixing 5-20 wt % of a calcium-containing waste powder, 5-20 wt % of acetic acid and a remaining weight percentage of water uniformly to obtain a mixing solution; adding 5-20 vol % of a diammonium hydrogen phosphate solution to the mixing solution to obtain a suspension; controlling a pH value of the suspension to obtain an alkaline solution; leaving the alkaline solution at room temperature for precipitation for 0.1 to 72 hours, centrifuging or suction filtrating the alkaline solution to obtain a precipitate, drying and grinding the precipitate to obtain hydroxyapatite; and mixing 30-60 wt % of a pore former and 30-60 wt % of the hydroxyapatite and a remaining weight percentage of a binder uniformly to form a mixture, compression molding the mixture in a mold and sintering the compression-molded mixture.

  • Publication number: 20160099608
    Abstract: A power storage and supply method for a power adapter includes determining whether the power adapter is connected to an external power source; if yes, further determining whether the power adapter is connected to an electronic device; if yes, selecting to charge the electronic device or a battery module built in the power adapter; determining whether a physical quantity of the power adapter reaches a first reference value; and, if yes, selecting to charge the electronic device and/or the battery module. The power adapter includes a microcontroller that uses the physical quantity of the power adapter to determine charging sequence, so that the power adapter is not interfered and limited by incompatible device signal control and can be directly used to charge any electronic device while automatically switching among different charging operation states to complete charging of the electronic device and the built-in battery module in increased charging efficiency.

  • Patent number: 6409852
    Abstract: A biocompatible titanium alloy with low modulus comprising &agr;″ phase as a major phase and containing from about 6 to about 9 wt % of molybdenum, from 0 to about 1 wt % of an alloying element and the balance titanium. The alloying element is niobium and/or zirconium. The biocompatible titanium alloy is suitable for use as a material for a medical prosthetic implant.
