An article of footwear includes a sole having a lower surface, and a reactive element disposed on the lower surface of the sole. The reactive element has an exposed surface, and the reactive element is configured to transition the exposed surface between a first state and a second state in response to a compression force applied to the reactive element by an external ground surface in a user activity, to prevent accumulation of ground surface material, such as mud, dirt, clay, sand, slush, etc., compacting on the sole of the article of footwear in the user activity. The reactive element may include an elastomeric dome shaped popper that compresses flat in response to a compression force and then pops back to a non-compressed state in response to release of the compression force.

A functional device (and a functional device manufacturing method) includes a first substrate in which a groove is formed in one surface, a second substrate which is integrally disposed by bonding one surface of the second substrate to the one surface of the first substrate, and forms a flow path together with the groove of the first substrate, at least one modification object of a capture body which captures a target substance supplied into the flow path, an electrode which imparts an electrical or a chemical action to the target substance, and a catalyst, in which the modification object is disposed by being modified on a part of an inner surface of the flow path, a bonding portion between the one surface of the first substrate and the one surface of the second substrate is formed by bonding fluorine to silica.

A composite switchable pane array, having: a first pane; a second pane, and an intermediate layer arranged therebetween, wherein the intermediate layer has at least one first thermoplastic polymer film and one second thermoplastic polymer film, and an SPD film arranged therebetween; and an edge sealing arranged in the outer edge region of the intermediate layer, containing a polyimide (PI) and/or polyisobutylene (PIB).

The present techniques are directed to a flexible pipe. An inner carcass layer forms the innermost layer of the flexible pipe. An inner sheath layer and an outer sheath layer are disposed externally of the inner carcass layer. A layer of corrosion resistant alloy is disposed at any location between the inner carcass layer and the outer sheath layer. At least one armor layer is disposed internally of the outer sheath layer.

The application discloses a method to fabricate microneedle patches, comprising a) casting (painting and pasting) an aqueous polymer solution on a mold of array of micro-holes which is made of porous materials; b) sucking the polymer solution into the micro-holes by applying vacuum at the back of the mold; d) freezing and thawing the casted polymer solution to induce gelation; and e) drying the gelled polymer solution. Specifically, the present invention describes a process and composition of polymeric microneedlepatch which overcomes the limitations of existing microneedles systems and may be used for transdermal delivery system for therapeutics and other applications.

A method includes (i) preparing a printing original plate sheet having an uncured photosensitive resin layer on a surface thereof, wherein compressive strength of the uncured photosensitive resin layer at 25 C. is 1.0 to 3.0 kgf/cm.sup.2; (ii) mounting the printing original plate sheet around a cylindrical support in such a manner that a starting terminal of the mounting and an ending terminal of the mounting are overlapped; and (iii) applying pressure to the overlapped area of the starting terminal of the mounting and the ending terminal of the mounting at a temperature range of 10 to 40 C. so as to pressure-bond the overlapped area. The method may further include, after the step (iii), a step (iv) for photo-curing the uncured photosensitive resin layer and may further comprise, after the step (iv), a step (v) for grinding, abrading and/or machining the overlapped area.

A mulitwell plate having a plurality of picowells on the bottom of the wells of the plate as well as methods of producing the mulitwell plate are provided. Provided is also a method of handling living cells by providing an ordered array of living cells immobilized in a non-fluid matrix, contacting the living cells with a stimulus; and detecting a response to the stimulus. The present invention is also of a method of producing an ordered array of living cells.

This disclosure provides a method for filling printing ink in an electrowetting display substrate and a method for producing the electrowetting display panel. The electrowetting display substrate comprises a first substrate. The first substrate has pixel grids formed by pixel walls. The method for filling printing ink in an electrowetting display substrate comprises steps of: filling a mixture of an oil-containing printing ink and a solvent into the pixel grids, wherein the solvent has a boiling temperature lower than that of the oil, and the printing ink is soluble in the solvent; and vaporizing the solvent at a temperature that is lower than the boiling temperature of the oil and higher than or equal to the boiling temperature of the solvent. The method may adjust the filling height of the printing ink effectively, and allow the filling heights of the printing ink in all pixel grids to be substantially the same, so as to enhance the display effect of the electrowetting display panel.
