Unreferenced date January 2010 A flexure bearing is a bearing mechanical bearing which allows motion by bending a load element. A typical flexure bearing is just one part, joining two other parts. For example, a hinge may be made by attaching a long strip of a flexible element to a door and to the door frame. Another example is a rope swing, where the rope is tied to a tree branch. Image Mint box polypropylene lid.JPG thumb 200px A living hinge a type of flexure bearing , on the lid of a Tic Tac box. Flexure bearings have the advantage over most other bearings that they are simple and thus inexpensive. They are also often compact, light weight, have very low friction, and are easier to repair without specialized equipment. Flexure bearings have the disadvantages that the range of motion is limited, and often very limited for bearings that support high loads. A flexure bearing relies on the bearing element being made of a material which can be repeatedly flexed without disintegrating. However ... with repeated flexing, and will eventually snap.

In human embryos it generally occurs at the end of the 3rd week beginning of 4th. By means of it the fore brain is bent in a ventral direction around the anterior end of the notochord and fore gut , with the result that the floor of the fore brain comes to lie almost parallel with that of the hind brain . This flexure causes the mid brain to become, for a time, the most prominent part of the brain, since its dorsal surface corresponds with the convexity of the curve. As a consequence, the cardiac plate, which was previously anterior to the forebrain, approximates its adult location in what will become the thoracic region.

As demonstrated in clinical trials, patients treated by PHP can tolerate much higher doses of chemotherapeutic agents than those receiving traditional systemic chemotherapy without increased toxicity toxicities . Procedure Using a system of catheters and Filter chemistry filters , PHP isolates the liver from the circulatory system and infuses a chemotherapeutic agent directly to the liver via the Common hepatic artery hepatic artery . The venous effluent from the liver is then filtered outside of the body and the filtered blood is returned into the jugular vein .
