  Patent 4888517: Double-enveloped lamp having a shield surrounding a light-source capsule within a thick-walled outer ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Capsule 20, shield 28, and outer envelope 12 are shown as concentric walls about axis V--V. Radius a extends from axis V--V to the outer surface of capsule 20.
It is known that a light-transmissive sleeve surrounding a light-source capsule will conserve heat, and that the conservation is greatest when the ratio of the surface area of the capsule body to the area of the sleeve approaches unity for the ideal case of infinite cylinders.
In the case of the four-hundred watt Sylvania Metalarc lamp, optimum luminous efficacy and color uniformity are obtained with a light-source capsule having an outer radius of eleven millimeters and an inner shield radius of 17.5 millimeters (the ratio a/b being 0.63).

 Dorlands Medical Dictionary
na, [TA]  internal capsule: a fanlike mass of white fibers that separates the lentiform nucleus laterally from the head of the caudate nucleus, the dorsal thalamus, and the tail of the caudate nucleus medially; it consists of an anterior limb, a genu, and a posterior limb consisting of three parts, thalamolenticular, sublenticular, and retrolenticular.
The internal capsule is known to carry corticofugal (efferent) fibers from the cerebral cortex; its exact role in carrying afferent fibers to the cortex remains uncertain.
adhesive capsulitis,   adhesive inflammation between the joint capsule and the peripheral articular cartilage of the shoulder with obliteration of the subdeltoid bursa, characterized by painful shoulder of gradual onset, with increasing pain, stiffness, and limitation of motion.

 Patent 4239040: Capsule for medical use
The capsule for medical use according to claim 1; wherein said means for hermetically separating said two chambers comprises a pillar-shaped plug inserted into a damper hole provided at a front portion of said external cylinder and through which the air in the chamber defined by the interior surface of said external cylinder is discharged.
Furthermore, an inhaling hole "404a" is located at the external circumference of the cylinder "404" near the said projected portion "441", and a sealing plug "415" for sealing drugs or the like is inserted into the inserting groove "404c" of the front end portion of the external cylinder "404".
In the moving process of this external cylinder "802", the volume of the empty space "803" is sharply expanded so that the samples (such as the contents in the intestines) are absorbed in the receiving bag "804" mounted in the empty space "803".

 Breast Augmentation Revision: Capsule Contracture: Advanced Art of Cosmetic Surgery   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
External capsule contracture fracture by pressure is occasionally effective, but usually will result in recurrence.
Treatment of capsule contracture usually requires removal of the s car around the implant, along with the establishment and maintenance of an oversized pocket to limit the tendency of recurrent pocket closure and encroachment on the volume of the implant itself.
Prevention of capsule contracture is favored by placement of implants under the muscle and via a route that avoids potential implant contamination with germs, including those that normally reside in the ducts of the breast tissue.

 Patent 6,204,243   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
Undesired dissolution of the capsule shell in the area of the stomach or upper small intestine is prevented by coating the external capsule wall with a polymer film.
Premature dissolution of the capsule is prevented by coating the capsule with a polymer film containing acid groups, whereby the type of acid and the number of acid groups control dissolution of the film in dependence of the pH value of the surroundings.
Dissolution of the capsule is controlled by diffusion mechanisms, whereby the polymer film is insoluble in water and the diffusion operations are influenced by additional substances such as water-soluble pore forming agents and softeners.

 Electrical Characteristics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
The circuit resistance of Twist Capsule circuits is controlled by three features of the design: (1) the internal flex tape trace cross sectional area and length; (2) the internal lead wire size and length; and (3) the external lead wire size and length.
To optimize the capsule design, it is important to have circuit resistance requirements that are consistent with the size of the leads and flex tape traces required to carry the specified current.
The current carrying capacity of Twist Capsule circuits is a function of the cross sectional area of external and internal leads and the cross sectional area of the internal flex tape traces.

 CAPSULEs and UNITs
A CAPSULE is typically the result of a single compilation - one could regard it as being the TDF analogue of a Unix.o file.
The signature parameter gives a STRING (see section 3.2.3 on page 18) which may be used as an name for the tag, external to TDF and also as a check introduced by the producer that a tagdef and its corresponding tagdec have the same notion of the language-specific type of the tag.
Clearly, when the CAPSULEs are linked the types must be identical and hence their STRING representation must be the same - a translator will reject any attempt to link definitions and declarations of the same object with different signatures.

 Organizing Thoughts into Sequences, Hierarchies, and Networks
The results of this survey indicate that an important theoretical distinction should be made between the three external structurings (sequence, hierarchy, network), and a fourth kind of structuring, the internal structure of records (Section 6).
From this point of view, the field structure is inside the capsule, so that a table is a set of capsules that are understood to have the same internal structure.
Several notable concepts relate the internal structuring of capsules, given by field structure, with the external structurings of capsules in terms of sequences, hierarchies, and networks.
