A cam-actuated connection device joins rail mounting members of a photovoltaic panel array. The connection device slides within channels of mounting members until the members are in a properly positioned grid. When in position, the connection device is rotated to lock the mounting members in a rigid grid network. The connecting device can be subsequently loosened, repositioned and locked into position. The rail-mounting members create a grid for installation of multiple PV panels. The mounting rail allows the unit to remain relatively compact in nature but still covers a wide range of PV panel thicknesses. The rail system has a hinged connection with the mounting rail that allows an installer to assemble the module in a near perpendicular fashion to the mounting rail, make the required electrical connections and then lower the PV module into its working position. The unit is then locked into its working position.

A microprobe array structure with self-stabilization capability and a method for manufacturing the same are proposed. The microprobe array structure is used to sense various biopotential signals, and is characterized in that the etching parameters are controlled during etching to manufacture a microprobe structure with a reduced bottom cross section so that the microprobe can be firmly stabilized in the skin tissue. Moreover, a conducting layer is formed on the microprobe to sense signals. A design of electric isolation between microprobes is also proposed. The microprobe array can therefore be used for the measurement of various biopotential signals, and can also be used as a stimulus.

In the present invention, a biodegradable bone graft is disclosed, which includes: a scaffold made of a biodegradable material; and a collagen-embedding matrix portion which completely encompasses the scaffold. The above-mentioned bone graft can increase the micro-porosity of the scaffold to enable cells to grow adhesively thereon. Compared with the scaffold only, the above-mentioned bone graft has high hydrophilicity. Hence, the bone graft of the present invention can efficiently retain tissue fluid, cell growth factors, blood and / or bone marrow which are mixed with the bone graft beforehand to achieve osteoinduction. Furthermore, the collagen-embedding matrix portion can also serve as a carrier to encompass other bone graft materials and drug molecules. The present invention also relates to a method for manufacturing the above-mentioned bone graft.
