Aim: Facial paralysis inflicts devastating functional and aesthetic deficits. Several solutions are being developed, including implantable bionics to correct paralytic lagophthalmos. The temporal fossa has been postulated to be a suitable location for such devices. Anatomical studies of this fossa have limited application in the design of implants with complex internal components that are constrained by specific functional requirements. In this study, we assess the variation in temporal fossa volumes that could be utilized by a functional implantable device. Methods: CT scans of 18 hemifaces were used to create a 10-point template for measuring tissue thickness in the temporal fossa. Using this data, linear models were used to perform a volumetric analysis of the temporalis muscle and temporal fat pad concerning key anatomical landmarks. Results: The estimated temporalis muscle, temporal fat, and total combined volumes were 19.2 mL (95%CI: 10.4-32.9), 10.3 mL (95%CI: 6.1-16.1), and 29.5 mL (95%CI: 16.7-48.9) respectively, consistent with other publications. The temporalis muscle volume increases rapidly and then plateaus moving posteriorly along the zygomatic arch and superiorly along the lateral orbital rim. Whereas the temporal fat increases similarly along the lateral orbital rim, it increases at a uniform rate along the zygomatic arch. Conclusion: Simple geometric modelling of the functional soft tissue space in the temporal fossa is feasible and can be readily applied to aid in the development of implantable devices.

Document from the year 2005 in the subject Business economics - Marketing, Corporate Communication, CRM, Market Research, Social Media, grade: A (83 percent), University of Teesside, course: Integrated Marketing Communication, 32 entries in the bibliography, language: English, abstract: This report outlines a new IMC strategy for the 'Siemens Mobile' brand, which, despite being a well recognised brand, has yet to make a strong impact within the 16-24 year old age group. It also contains an in depth analysis of the target market, and as well as a breakdown of the current position and image of Siemens Mobile. The target market for this segment has many unique attributes, which make it unusual, but one which is potential very profitable. The 16-24 year old group is very fashionable, sociable, and concerned with social acceptance, but at the same time wishing to display a degree of 'individualism'. Siemens mobile is currently has an image of a focused, efficient, technologically advanced company with a reputation for quality engineering. They are currently positioned towards the 'older' business class clients, who value quality and engineering excellence. In order to appeal to the 16-24 year old market, a re-branding and re-positioning of the 'Siemens Mobile' brand will need to occur. A new, fun, trendy, fashionable, energetic, and youthful brand of 'Sie Mobile' (pronounced 'see-mobile') will be introduced which will appeal to younger people. This new brand will be closely correlated to the attitudes and values identified within the 16-24 age group. 'Sie Mobile' will be introduced in several stages, based on the customer's buying process (Holder and Watson' pyramid model; IDM, 2004). It will utilise both established and new marketing techniques including television, radio, magazine, internet, SMS, and billboard campaigns. This strategy will emphasise the fun, fashionable, and technological features of the brand, and will cost approximately 8,750,000 to launch.
