At least one pair of LEDs, preferably of the super-luminescent type, are connected in parallel but with reverse polarity in series with at least one resistor and driven by a voltage source, which may deliver unrectified alternating current. An array of m series-connected LED pairs may be included in n parallel paths. The printed circuit board in which the LED pair(s) is mounted is adapted to fit into after-market fittings originally intended to receive incandescent light bulbs. In some embodiments, contacts are formed in the edges of lateral protrusions in the PCB.

Mandibular advancement device (1; 20) and a device preparation method and kit, comprising a mouthpiece (2) and at least one plastic strap (5; 21) with two ends (7) fitted with a slot (9) that is connected articulately to a respective cylindrical portion (11) of a lateral protrusion (10) of the mouthpiece (2). The slot (9) is closed and is longer in length than the diameter of the cylindrical portion (11), which can move along the slot (9). The strap (5; 21) acts by traction between the cylindrical portions (11) of the mouthpiece (2) to prevent the free return of the lower portion (4) with respect to the upper portion (3) of the mouthpiece (2) and therefore treats apnea, whilst allowing some advancement and lateral movement of the lower portion (4), making it comfortable for the user.

An insulating film made of the same material as that of a gate insulating film is formed so as to cover one sidewall of a control gate on a conducting film for floating gate. By selectively removing the conducting film for floating gate with the insulating film as a mask, a floating gate is formed from the conducting film for floating gate, and a portion of the gate insulating film is exposed at the floating gate. A nitrogen introduced portion is formed by introducing nitrogen into the exposed portion of the gate insulating film. Then, the insulating film is removed to expose an upper surface of a lateral protrusion of the floating gate. An erase gate is formed so as to face the upper surface and a side surface of the lateral protrusion.

Furthermore, hook-like projections are manufactured by bending the hook preforms out of the base plate around the bending edge and possibly lateral protrusions are manufactured on the projections or these are twisted.

The invention relates to a three-dimensional spinal lateral protrusion reconstructing method based on orthophoric and lateral phases, belonging to the field of computer-aided measurement. The three-dimensional spinal lateral protrusion reconstructing method based on the orthophoric and lateral phases comprises the following specific steps of: firstly, setting beginning and ending seed points at gravity centers of a first thoracic vertebra and a last lumbar vertebra in an X-ray film in the orthophoric and lateral phases respectively; secondly, acquiring gravity centers of other vertebras by reasoning transversely and longitudinally; thirdly, fitting all the gravity center points into a curve by a curve fitting algorithm; fourthly, computing the included angle between the normal of each gravity center point on the curve and the horizontal line and the offset of each gravity center point relative to the first gravity center point, wherein the inclined angle between two gravity center points of orthophoric and lateral phases of a same vertebra and the offsets of the two gravity center points form a spatial three-dimensional parameter; and finally, according to the spatial three-dimensional parameter of each vertebra, translating and rotating the corresponding vertebra in a standard spinal model according to the three-dimensional parameter so as to form a spinal spatial three-dimensional model for pathological changes of a patient suffering from the spinal lateral protrusion. According to the three-dimensional spinal lateral protrusion reconstructing method, the time for performing X-ray scanning on the human body is shortened.

The present disclosure is directed to a semiconductor apparatus having a plurality of bonded semiconductor devices formed by a fusion bonding technique and a method for preparing the same. The semiconductor devices have conductive portions with higher coefficient of thermal expansion than their dielectric portions. By forming the depression to provide a space for the volume expansion of the conductive portion with higher coefficient of thermal expansion during the subsequent thermal treating process of the fusion bonding, the semiconductor apparatus formed of semiconductor devices by the fusion bonding technique does not exhibit a lateral protrusion into the interface between the two dielectric portions. As a result, the failure of the electrical function due to the lateral protrusion is effectively eliminated.
