The present invention provides a tablet computer and a docking station assembly. This docking station comprises a docking assembly for positioning with three degrees of freedom and having a data connector for mechanically supporting and interfacing with the tablet computer. A support member couples the docking assembly to an expansion base. The base includes a number of ports for interfacing with a variety of peripheral devices or power supplies. These varieties of ports mount to a printed circuit board contained within the expansion base. A flexible printed circuit (FPC) combines the signal pathways for the variety of ports, allowing the signal pathways to travel from the printed circuit board and to the data connector. The tablet computing device has a plurality of contact or touch points positioned on the right and left edges of the tablet to facilitate aligning the tablet to the docking assembly in either a landscape or portrait mode.

An expandable introducer sheath can actively be induced to reduce in diameter or enlarge in diameter due to a braided internal structure that has axial strands connected to its distal end. The introducer sheath is delivered to the blood vessel or other tubular member of the body in a smaller diameter configuration with the axial strands in compression. The catheter is flexible and can be delivered to eccentrically shaped and tortuous vessels. Once the catheter is in position, the axial strands are placed into tension to cause the introducer sheath to assume a larger diameter configuration that will help straighten out tortuous vessels. The access site into the blood vessel is expanded via a radial expansion that is less traumatic. Passage of a larger interventional catheter can proceed through the larger diameter sheath configuration. If the interventional catheter has a smaller shaft, the introducer sheath can be reduced in diameter to come into close approximation with the shaft to reduce the opening size at the access site. The sheath can be removed over time with incremental reductions in its diameter to allow the access site time to relax to a smaller size for improved vascular sealing.

Devices, systems, and methods used to seal a treatment area to prevent embolic agents from migrating are described. The concept has particular benefit in allowing liquid embolic to be used with a variety of intravascular therapeutic applications, including for occluding aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations in the neurovasculature.

Balloon catheters such as guide catheters can be configured to provide distal occlusion, while still providing sufficient interior lumen space for device delivery. Such catheters can provide a desired level of balloon expansion, yet prevent vessel damage caused by balloon over-expansion. A catheter can include an elongate shaft having a distal region, a proximal region and a lumen extending therebetween. A balloon is inflated to a desired expansion configuration with a desired diameter. Over-inflation of the balloon causes longitudinal expansion instead of increased radial expansion, thus maintaining the diameter of the balloon.

This invention relates to a method for manufacturing bioorganic fertilizer. The bioorganic fertilizer is manufactured by: mixing sugar industry waste, breeding industry waste, oil-processing waste, phosphoric fertilizer, trace element fertilizer and silicon fertilizer, and performing aerobic fermentation and post fermentation. The effective components of the bioorganic fertilizer are: organic matters (greater than or equal to 30%), N, P and K (greater than or equal to 8%), beneficial microorganisms (greater than or equal to 200,000,000/g), active silicone (greater than or equal to 5%), magnetic components (0.25%), and Fe, Zn and Mo (0.5-1%). The bioorganic fertilizer has abundant raw material sources, and is environmentally friendly.

In an implantable pacemaker, pacing pulses are delivered to a ventricle in a P-wave synchronous mode as long as no atrial arrhythmia is detected, pacing pulses and a mode switch is made to deliver pacing pulses to the ventricle in a non-P-wave synchronous mode if atrial arrhythmia is detected. From an impedance signal measured in the atrium, atrial distention is determined and, in the non-P-wave synchronous mode, the delivery rate of the pacing pulses is increased to decrease the atrial distention during atrial arrhythmia.

A method and process for at least partially forming a medical device that is at least partially formed of a novel metal alloy which improves the physical properties of the medical device.

The present invention relates to an absorbent structure, preferably for use in absorbent articles as used in the personal hygiene industry such as feminine hygiene garments, baby diapers and pants or adult incontinence garments. The present invention also relates to an absorbent article comprising such absorbent structure and to a method of manufacturing the absorbent structure. The absorbent structures comprise a carrier layer, an auxiliary layer and an absorbent material there between wherein substantially permanent primary attachments and substantially temporary secondary attachments join the carrier layer and auxiliary layer at least partially together, whereby the substantially temporary secondary attachments are loosened as a result of exposing the absorbent structure to a liquid whereas the substantially permanent primary attachments remain substantially intact. The present invention foresees in the need for improved flexible, thin, lightweight absorbent structures for an absorbent article which overcomes the absorbency problems of the prior art during absorption, distribution and retention of liquids with optimal fit.

The invention discloses a foaming type electromagnetic wave absorption composite material and a preparation method thereof. The electromagnetic wave absorption composite material is prepared from 10 to 40 mass percent of an electromagnetic absorbent and 60 to 90 mass percent of a base material through a foaming process. Impedance matching between the base material and air is improved by uniform gaps formed by foaming, and a powder material with electromagnetic wave absorption function is uniformly diffused in the foaming process of the base and adsorbed on foam hole walls to form a dielectric loss and magnetic hysteresis loss electromagnetic wave absorption network, so that the electromagnetic waves entering the base are converted into heat energy and attenuated through motion such as reflection, refraction, vortex, resonance and the like. The foaming type electromagnetic wave absorption composite material is widely applied to the field of electromagnetic radiation, electromagnetic interference and electromagnetic information leakage prevention, suppression and absorption treatment.

In agriculture when temperature and moisture deviate from the norm two things happen, plant growth suffers and disease flourishes. The Stoller model for plant growth states that proper hormone balance is necessary for optimum growth and performance. When growth conditions deviate from the norm, hormone balance is altered and plant growth suffers. This invention presents evidence to support this model and explain the relationship between hormone levels and plant growth. A clear understanding of this relationship will facilitate crop treatments aimed to eliminate these problems. Although we cannot control the climate, we can control the damage caused by environmental stresses by manipulating the levels and/or ratio of plant hormones in the different plant tissues. By adjusting the levels and/or ratios of hormones, particularly auxin and cytokinins in the root tissue, we can assist the plant in overcoming or compensating for this environmental stress.
