Surgical staple

InactiveUS20050267530A1Increased area of compressionIncrease the areaStaplesNailsSurgical stapleEngineering
In certain exemplary embodiments, a generally U-shaped surgical staple is provided having a base and a pair of legs extending substantially perpendicularly from opposite ends of the base respectively. The legs in use of the staple are bent through approximately 90° relative to the base. To effect a greater compression of the stapled tissue, the legs can include a penetrative portion adjacent the tip and a compressive structure which, due to its increased height relative to that of the penetrative portion, spreads the compressive forces of the staple further along the length of the incision being closed. The compressive portion also provides a depth stop to avoid the tip penetrating too deeply into the tissue in which it is deployed.

Semiconductor device with improved gate resistance and method of its manufacture

A semiconductor device is formed with a normal, non-recessed, spacer structure in a cell region and a recessed spacer structure in a peripheral region. The recessed spacer structure is formed as by etch masking those in the cell region and exposing those in the peripheral region, then performing an etch process. The increased height of the cell region spacers is adapted to further prevent over-etching during gate interconnect formation which would otherwise result in etching through the spacer to the substrate and subsequent short circuit. Therefore, it is also possible to prevent bridge defects due to over-etching, which occurs because the barrier metal layer for a subsequent interconnection contact is accidentally connected to the underlying substrate. Also, since the recessed spacer structure is provided in the peripheral region, it is possible to remarkably enhance a resistance distribution of a cobalt silicide layer occurring in a gate line width of 100 nm or less.

Method for detecting and controlling laser metal forming height on line

InactiveCN101893426AHeight uniform growthLaser formed surface smoothingUsing optical meansMetallic material coating processesMetal formingSpray nozzle
The invention discloses a method for detecting and controlling laser metal forming height on line. The method comprises the following steps of: vertically mounting a laser displacement sensor on a coaxial powder feeding nozzle; ensuring that laser emitted from the sensor is parallel to the laser emitted from a laser device; opening the laser device and performing cladding forming on the substrate by using a computer numerical control system; after a first layer is formed, controlling sensor offset by using the computer numerical control system; moving a detected surface below the sensor; ensuring that the laser emitted from the sensor is reflected by the detected surface and then received and output by a receiver of the sensor; averaging cladding height data by using the computer numerical control system; comparing an average with an ideal single-layer height; if the average is different from the ideal single-layer height, making the increased height of a cladding consistent with the ideal single-layer height by adjusting the power of the laser device; and continuing performing next cladding and height detection until a component is formed to a needed height by cladding, wherein the laser power is adjusted to gradually reduce along with the change of accumulation layers so as to ensure the uniform growth of the height of each layer.

Steering column support device

Disclosed is a structure which does not lead to increased height, which prevents a steering column (6a) from falling even if during second impact the steering column (6a) is displaced in the forward direction, and which, notwithstanding, ensures the function which allows smooth displacement of the steering column (6a) in the forward direction during second impact. The disclosed steering column support device is provided with a non-falling side bracket (45) fixed to the vehicle body, and a pair of bolts (47), a pair of support capsules (16a), and a falling side bracket (46) supported by the steering column (6a).

Substrate processing apparatus

A substrate processing apparatus includes a transport robot (TR1) formed with a telescopic vertical movement mechanism of a so-called telescopially nestable multi-tier construction. A drive mechanism (D1) is initially driven to move a support member (48) upwardly to simultaneously elevate a vertical movement member (42d). As the vertical movement member (42d) rises, a pulley (47c) simultaneously moves upwardly. As the pulley (47c) moves upwardly, a vertical movement member (42c) is lifted upwardly by a belt (L1). Similar actions elevate a pair of transport arms (31a, 31b) provided on the top of a vertical movement member (42a). The increase in the number of tiers of the nestable multi-tier structure precludes the increase in height of the transport robot (TR1) in its retracted position. The substrate processing apparatus, if having an increased height, is capable of transporting a substrate to and from processing portions and eliminates the need to reassemble and adjust the transport robot (TR1) for transportation of the apparatus.

The device includes a host computer, an electronic control module, a probe supporting structure, an optical probe, a to-be-measured element, an element clamping device, a Z-axis electric translation stage, a dial indicator and an XY-axis electric translation stage; and the optical probe projects a focusing light spot on the surface of the to-be-measured element, and the light spot forms a three-hole bright spot through a three-hole diaphragm after being reflected back to an object lens. As the distance between the bright spots is related to the height position of the light spot, surface thicknesses can be obtained by collecting images in real time to calculate the distance betweenthe bright spots; in order to increase a height measuring range, the Z-axis electric translation stage can be used to move the to-be-measured element up and down, and the dial indicator can be used to measure the position of the element; and compared with traditional contact surface profile measuring systems, the device has the advantage of being non-contact, so that influences on the surface ofthe element can be avoided, and large measuring scope and high precision can be obtained.
