A polyaxial pedicle screw includes a housing, a bone screw member, and an anvil. The bone screw member includes a head and a threaded shaft extending from the head. The head is selectively securable within the housing. The anvil is positionable within the housing adjacent to the head of the bone screw member when the anvil and the head of the bone screw member are positioned within the housing. The anvil may define one or more grooves in an outer surface of the anvil. The groove defines a flap that is flexibly attached to the anvil to enable the anvil to flex an amount sufficient to maintain the head of the bone screw in constant contact with the anvil when the bone screw member is moved relative to the anvil.

An electronic device, an adapter and a receptacle are provided. The electronic device includes a card body, a plurality of first and second terminals, and at least one stub. The card body has a front edge, a first surface and a second surface opposite to the first surface. The first terminals are between the first terminals and the front edge. The stub is disposed on the second surface and near the front edge. The adapter includes a body and a plurality of elastic terminals. The body has an accommodating portion for accommodating an electronic device. One ends of the elastic terminals are fixed to the body. When the electronic device is accommodated at the accommodating portion, a plurality of flat terminals of the electronic device are outside of the accommodating portion, and another ends of the elastic terminals are against the flat terminals correspondingly.

In a liquid crystal panel, a color filter substrate and an array substrate are provided in parallel with each other, and a liquid crystal layer is sealed therebetween. In the color filter substrate, a black matrix made of a resin and color filters are provided on a transparent substrate. In the array substrate, a pixel circuit is provided on a transparent substrate. The pixel circuit includes a gate interconnection, a gate insulating film, a semiconductor region, a drain interconnection, a passivation film, a pixel electrode, and the like. The sum of the step heights on the surfaces of the color filter substrate and the array substrate both facing the liquid crystal layer is 0.83 mum, and the pre-tilt angle of the liquid crystal layer is set to 4 degrees or more.

A controller is provided for maneuvering an interrogation plane relative to a reference surface. The interrogation plane intersects the reference surface and is associated with a pole about which the interrogation plane is rotatable. The pole has an adjustable angle of inclination relative to the reference surface. The controller has a base, a handle, and an arm extending from a connection with the base to a connection with the handle. The arm has hingable joints which hinge to allow the handle to be translated relative to the base in arbitrary directions across a user surface. The controller further has position sensors which measure the translation of the handle relative to the base on the user surface. The translation provides a corresponding translation of the interrogation plane relative to the reference surface. The handle is rotatable about a rotation axis and is tillable about a tilt axis to allow the handle to be angularly moved relative to the user surface. The controller further has angle sensors which respectively detect the rotation about the rotation axis and the tilt about the tilt axis. The rotation about the rotation axis and the tilting about the tilt axis provide angular movement of the interrogation plane relative to the reference surface corresponding to the angular movement of the handle relative to the user surface.

The invention discloses a liquid crystal display device, which performs high quality display with less display nonuniformity, excellent view angle characteristics and transmissivity, with high production efficiency. The liquid crystal display device is provided with a first substrate having a pixel electrode and an orientation film, a second substrate having a common electrode, and a liquid crystal layer arranged between the first substrate and the second substrate. The pixel electrode includes a plurality of subpixel electrodes which are electrically separated from each other on an insulating layer. The subpixel electrode has a recessed section which is recessed to the side of the insulating layer. The subpixel electrode and a drain line are connected at the recessed section, and the common electrode is formed substantially flat over the entire pixel electrode.

The invention relates to an ultrafine electret fiber cigarette filter material and a preparation method thereof. The ultrafine electret fiber cigarette filter material is melt-blown ultrafine fibers with diameter being 1-5 mu m; the ultrafine fibers are prepared from 94-99 parts by weight of a thermoplastic material and 1-6 parts by weight of electret masterbatch; the melt-blown ultrafine fibers are treated with electret; the thermoplastic material is any one of PP, PET, PA, PLA or PE. The conventional melt-blown method is improved, traditional one-time cloth forming is changed into preparation of an ultrafine fiber bundle with diameter being 1-5 mu m, and the fiber fineness is uniform; the ultrafine electret fiber cigarette filter material can solve the problem of environmental pollution in production of acetate fibers. The ultrafine fibers are treated with electret, and the treated fibers have lasting static electricity, the charge retention time can reach 2 years or longer, and minute dirt particles can be trapped with the electrostatic effect; the material has the advantages of high filtration efficiency and low filtration resistance.

A method and apparatus is disclosed herein for avoiding disorientation under discontinuous navigation in an image flipping system. In one embodiment, the method comprises serially displaying a sequence of page images in an order; receiving a user input to stop sequencing through the page images; determining a location of a page image in the sequence of page images representing a point at which the user intended to stop in the sequence of page images but for display speed of the sequence of images and user reaction time in providing an indication of the point at which the user intended to stop; and automatically jumping back to the page image at the location in the sequence of page images while displaying multiple intervening page images as the location is being approached.

Provided is a polymerizable composition for providing a thin image-display device that does not exhibit display problems due to deformation of an image-display unit, allows high-brightness, high-contrast image display, and tolerates heat well. A polymerizable composition for forming a polymer layer interposed between an image-display unit in an image-display device and a light-transmitting protective part. Said polymerizable composition is characterized by containing the following: (1) a (meth)acryloyl group-containing compound that has a structural unit derived from a (poly)ester polyol and / or a structural unit derived from a (poly)carbonate polyol; (2) a (meth)acryloyl group-containing compound that has a C9+ hydrocarbon group; and (3) a photopolymerization initiator.
