    摘要: A sterile dual-purpose closed intermittent urinary catheter system that may be used as either a drain line or a collection bag. A catheter resides within an inner cavity of an extensible sheath and may be extracted from a forward end through an outlet hub for insertion into the urethra. A valve at a rearward end of the sheath may be opened to permit the sheath to function as a drain line, or closed to permit the sheath to function as a collection bag. The sheath has an extended length substantially longer than the catheter length, and may be compressed in an accordion fashion or folded to a compact packaged shape. The urine may be collected in the sheath with the valve closed, or drained straight into a toilet with the valve open. The system may have a source of lubrication to wet the catheter.

    摘要: An improved method for configuring progressive ophthalmic lenses is disclosed. The method includes computing an improved merit function that modulates reduction of peripheral values of the mean sphere according to the prescription sphere. According to the method the amount of reduction of mean sphere of the lens peripheral regions is dependent on the prescription resulting from a modified merit function. As such, the reduction of peripheral mean sphere varies based on the prescription. According to the modified merit function and resulting improved merit function, the greater the hyperopia and/or presbyopia defined in a prescription, the smaller the reduction of the peripheral value of mean sphere. Accordingly, when the peripheral mean sphere reduction is relaxed, a near region is made wider.

    摘要: Acoustic resonator devices and filters. An acoustic resonator includes a substrate having a surface and a lithium niobate plate. A back surface of the lithium niobate plate is attached the substrate except for a portion of the lithium niobate plate forming a diaphragm that spans a cavity in the substrate. An interdigital transducer (IDT) is formed on a front surface of the lithium niobate plate such that interleaved fingers of the IDT are disposed on the diaphragm. The IDT and the lithium niobate plate configured such that a radio frequency signal applied to the IDT excites a shear primary acoustic mode within the diaphragm. Euler angles of the lithium niobate plate are [0°, β, 0°], where β is greater than or equal to 40° and less than or equal to 70°.

    摘要: The present invention relates to an aircraft-utilizing deterioration diagnostic system and provides a technique capable of improving diagnostic efficiency and accuracy when comparing the previous and current aerially-photographed images to diagnose a deteriorated state of a target. The diagnostic system includes: a drone 1 (aircraft) configured to be navigated along a route around a target 5 and having a camera 4 configured to photograph the target 5; and a computer (PC 2 and server 3) configured to control navigation of the aircraft and photographing by the camera 4. The computer is configured to: acquire data from the aircraft including an image group obtained by consecutively photographing the target 5 for each predetermined date and time; based on diagnostic data including a diagnostic image group photographed at a current date and time, reference data including a reference image group of a previous date and time, associate, for the same target 5, images including the same portion as comparison target images; compare the previous image and the current image among the comparison target images to detect a deteriorate portion; and provide a screen converted and visualized for the user such that the deteriorated portion in the image is plotted on the three-dimensional model of the target.

    摘要: Acoustic resonator devices and filters. An acoustic resonator includes a substrate and a lithium niobate plate. A back surface of the lithium niobate plate faces the substrate. A portion of the lithium niobate plate forms a diaphragm that spans a cavity in the substrate. An interdigital transducer (IDT) is on a front surface of the lithium niobate plate such that interleaved fingers of the IDT are on the diaphragm. The IDT and the lithium niobate plate are configured such that a radio frequency signal applied to the IDT excites a shear primary acoustic mode within the diaphragm. Euler angles of the lithium niobate plate are [0°, β, 0° ], where β is greater than or equal to 40° and less than or equal to 70°.

    摘要: A construction block unit includes a construction block including a bottom plate having a rectangular shape, sidewalls attached to each side of the bottom plate via hinges, wherein the sidewalls rotate on the hinges from a position planar with the bottom plate for storage to a position perpendicular to the bottom plate to form a receptacle configured to receive and contain a weight, and a pair of interlocking portions, each at opposite sides of the construction block to fasten the sidewalls in the position perpendicular to the bottom plate. Each of the pair of interlocking portions is shaped to receive a corresponding interlocking portion of a second construction block by vertically sliding the corresponding interlocking portion into the interlocking portion.

    摘要: Acoustic resonators and filters are disclosed. An acoustic resonator includes a substrate and a piezoelectric plate. A back surface of the piezoelectric plate is attached to the substrate except for a portion of the piezoelectric plate forming a diaphragm spanning a cavity in the substrate. A conductor pattern including an interdigital transducer (IDT) is formed on a front surface of the piezoelectric plate, interleaved fingers of the IDT disposed on the diaphragm. A front-side dielectric layer is formed on the front surface of the piezoelectric plate between, but not over, the IDT fingers. A back-side dielectric layer is formed on a back surface of the diaphragm. Thicknesses of the IDT fingers and the front-side dielectric layer are substantially equal. An acoustic impedance Zm of the IDT fingers and an acoustic impedance Zfd of the front-side dielectric layer satisfy the relationship 0.8Zm≤Zfd≤1.25Zm.
