Abstract: An optical imaging lens including first, second, third, fourth, fifth, sixth, and seventh lens elements arranged in sequence from an object side to an image side is provided. Each lens element includes an object-side surface and an image-side surface. The first lens element has positive refracting power, and a periphery region of the image-side surface of the first lens element is concave. An optical axis region of the image-side surface of the second lens element is concave. A periphery region of the object-side surface of the third lens element is concave. An optical axis region of the image-side surface of the sixth lens element is concave.

Abstract: Present embodiments provide for an optical imaging lens. The optical imaging lens includes seven lens elements positioned in an order from an object side to an image side. Through designing concave and/or convex surfaces of the seven lens elements, the improved optical imaging lens may provide better imaging quality and optical characteristics while the total length of the optical imaging lens may be shortened.

Abstract: The application discloses a combined phase shifter and a multi-band antenna network system. The combined phase shifter includes at least two phase shifters. The phase shifters have different frequency bands. Each phase shifter includes a signal line layer and components that are configured to change a phase of an output port of the signal line layer. The components are slidable relative to the signal layer. A filter circuit is provided at an output port of the signal layer. Output ports of filter circuits corresponding to the at least two phase shifters are connected by a conductor, and perform output using a common output port.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention disclose a phase shifting apparatus, including a first conductor section, a first tapping element, a feeder unit, and a dielectric element, where: the feeder unit is electrically connected to the first tapping element; the first tapping element is electrically connected to the first conductor section; the first tapping element is capable of moving along the first conductor section to change a phase of a signal that flows through the feeder unit, the first tapping element, and the first conductor section; and the dielectric element is disposed at a position near the first conductor section. With the phase shifting apparatus in the embodiments of the present invention, the dielectric element is disposed in order to increase an electrical length of a conductor, which correspondingly reduces a physical length of the conductor, so that the size of the phase shifting apparatus is reduced.

Abstract: This invention relates to biotechnology, more particularly, to water-soluble polymeric delivery systems for the imaging, evaluation and/or treatment of rheumatoid arthritis and other inflammatory diseases. Using modern MR imaging techniques, the specific accumulation of macromolecules in arthritic joints in adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats is demonstrated. The strong correlation between the uptake and retention of the MR contrast agent labeled polymer with histopathological features of inflammation and local tissue damage demonstrates the practical applications of the macromolecular delivery system of the invention.
