A Rack for Ophthalmic Needles and Sutures

Extruded collagen ophthalmic sutures. A clinical survey.

Human hair sutures in ophthalmic surgery.

Development of Absorbable, Antibiotic-Eluting Sutures for Ophthalmic Surgery

PURPOSE To develop and evaluate an antibiotic-eluting suture for ophthalmic surgery. METHODS Wet electrospinning was used to manufacture sutures composed of poly(L-lactide), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and levofloxacin. Size, morphology, and mechanical strength were evaluated via scanning electron microscopy and tensile strength, respectively. In vitro drug release was quantified using high pe...

XFabric: A Reconfigurable In-Rack Network for Rack-Scale Computers

Rack-scale computers are dense clusters with hundreds of micro-servers per rack. Designed for data center workloads, they can have significant power, cost and performance benefits over current racks. The rack network can be distributed, with small packet switches embedded on each processor as part of a system-on-chip (SoC) design. Ingress/egress traffic is forwarded by SoCs that have direct upl...
