A new and distinct cultivar of Osteospermum plant named \u2018Sumipas 03\u2019, characterized by its upright, outwardly spreading, compact and mounded plant habit; freely branching habit; freely, early and continuous flowering habit; and inflorescences with purple-colored ray florets. The sustained-release tablet of elemene provided in the invention has properties of expansion and adhesion, which in turn enables extending the retention time of the drug on upper and middle sections of the gastrointestinal tract. An apparatus for long seeking control of an optical readwrite head is also disclosed. Outboard of the middle segments, imaginary lines 90 respectively connecting the front segments to the rear segments cooperate with the side edges 23 of the liquid-absorbent structure to define absorbent structure-absent zones 91. After all silicon has been selectively removed, a thin membrane of oxide remains. The implant has first and second portions for coupling to a first bony portion of a first vertebra and a second bony portion of a second vertebra, respectively, where the second bony portion is located at an oblique angle to the first bony portion.
