A placement device for placing optoelectronic components on electrical lines includes a holding device for holding at least one electric line extending in a longitudinal direction, and an application device for arranging optoelectronic components on the at least one electrical line.

Disclosed are a negative pressure driven sucking apparatus and a preparation method thereof. The sucking apparatus comprises a sucking disc body, wherein a negative pressure cavity is formed in the middle of the sucking disc body, and the negative pressure cavity is connected with a vacuum line, and the bottom of the negative pressure cavity having a flexible section, and an annular wedge-shaped microstructure is formed at the bottom of the body surrounding the flexible section. Stable loading and release processes of the annular wedge-shaped microstructure are realized.

The present invention relates to monolithic intravaginal rings comprising progesterone, methods of making, and uses thereof. The intravaginal rings comprise progesterone, a polysiloxane elastomer, and a pharmaceutically acceptable hydrocarbon or glycerol esters of a fatty acid.

Provided are a coating composition for producing an interlayer insulation film, the coating composition making it possible to produce an interlayer insulation film patterned and having a high Young’s modulus and a low relative dielectric constant in high throughput, a method for producing the interlayer insulation film, and a semiconductor element including the interlayer insulation film. Specifically, the coating composition for producing the interlayer insulation film includes: a polymerizable compound (A) being a polymerizable silicon compound having two or more polymerizable groups, at least one of the two or more polymerizable groups being a polymerizable group Q expressed by *-O-R-Y (wherein * represents a bond with a silicon atom, R represents a single bond, an unsubstituted or substituted alkylene group having 1 to 12 carbon atoms and optionally containing a heteroatom, or a phenylene group, and Y represents a polymerizable group); and a photopolymerization initiator (B).

A magnet is embedded in a flexible elastic material, providing a means of temporarily connecting the flexible elastic material to ferromagnetic objects. A rigid cup provides a container for anchoring the magnet in the flexible elastic material. The cup also provides a structure to bind with the flexible elastic material. The magnet rests in the base of the cup, which extends past the surface of the material, allowing the magnet's forces to extend outside the base of the cup. The remainder of the cup resides within the material.

Implementations of an artificial nail measurement system and method (“artificial nail measurement”) are provided. In some implementations, the artificial nail measurement may comprise a mold casting kit. In some implementations, the artificial nail measurement may further comprise a mold extraction kit.

In some implementations, a method for the artificial nail measurement comprises a user receiving and using a mold casting kit to form a mold of the user's fingernails, shipping the mold to a nail technician to form a cast or replica of the user's fingernails, and the nail technician using the cast to measure the user's fingernails to select from pre-made artificial nails that then designed and shipped to the user for use.

The present invention relates to a thermoplastic resin composition, a method of preparing the same and a molded article including the same. More particularly, the thermoplastic resin composition includes a polycarbonate resin having a limited melt flow index, a polyorganosiloxane-polycarbonate resin, a vinyl cyanide compound-conjugated diene rubber-aromatic vinyl compound copolymer, a polyester resin and an epoxy group-containing copolymer in predetermined weight ratios.

The invention disclosed herein is an automotive acoustic panel including a porous sound-absorption material made from a polymer and an expanded perlite. One or more silane compounds may be coupled or coated onto the expanded perlite while a coupling agent and a chemical foaming agent may additionally be added to the automotive acoustic panel.

The present invention provides a method of in situ 4D printing of high-temperature materials including 3D printing a structure of an ink including a precursor. The structure is treated with controlled high energy flow to create a portion which has a different coefficient of thermal expansion/thermal shrinkage ratio. The structure is heated and the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion creates an interface stress to cause a selected level of deformation. Alternatively, two structures with different coefficients of expansion/thermal shrinkage ratio may be printed. Thermal treatment of the two structures creates an interface stress to cause a selected level of deformation.

Improved breast prostheses, methods of making breast prostheses, and methods of treatment using such breast prostheses are described.
