Current devices licensed for administration of smallpox vaccine in the United States include the bifurcated needle... The objective is to penetrate the stratum corneum layer of the skin and deliver a small amount of vaccine to the deep epidermis.... This simple device is easy to use, uses a very small amount(0. 0025 ml) of smallpox vaccine, and provides standardization of vaccine administration. The needle is dipped into reconstituted vaccine and the small volume is held between the two tines by capillary action.... WHO [World Health Organization] and CDC [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] guidelines call for the needle to be held at a 90° angle(perpendicular) to the skin and the vaccine administered by 15 strokes to an area of about 5 mm diameter. The strokes should be sufficiently vigorous to produce a trace of blood at the vaccination site. 3, record 3, English, - bifurcated%20needle
Record number: 3, Textual support number: 2 CONT
The bifurcated needle is approximately 2-1/2 inches long with a very small two-pronged needle at one end. The prongs have a very small opening between them that holds the vaccine to be applied to the arm. The prongs are 1/16 inches long and are used to pierce the outer layer of the skin only. 4, record 3, English, - bifurcated%20needle

A number of different variants trace their ancestry back to Hebb. Perhaps the simplest version is : When unit A and unit B are simultaneously excited, increase the strength of the connection between them. A natural extension of this rule to cover the positive and negative activation values is : Adjust the strength of the connection between units A and B in proportion to the product of their simultaneous activation. For simplicity of reference, we will call this the Hebb rule. 1, record 5, English, - Hebb%20rule
