20090025871 | INFRARED PREHEATING FOR CARTON MATERIAL SEALING - An infrared preheater preheats the first and second surfaces of an edge-proximate portion of a package that is formed from a polymeric material. The first and second surfaces on opposing sides of a sheet of material in which the surfaces are sealed to one another or to another element at the edge-proximate portion. The preheater includes an infrared energy emitting element disposed to emit infrared energy directly toward the first surface of the edge-proximate portion to preheat the first surface of the edge-proximate portion. An energy reflective element is disposed in opposing relation to the energy emitting element. The energy reflective element is positioned such that at least a portion of the energy that is emitted from the emitting element that does not strike the first surface of the package strikes the energy reflective element and is reflected back to the second surface to preheat the second surface of the edge-proximate portion. A method for preheating the first and second surfaces of the edge-proximate area is also disclosed. | 01-29-2009 |
20090032184 | Resistance Welding of Thermoplastics - Articles containing thermoplastic material are welded together by placing a heating element between an overlapping side edges of the articles to define a weld area between the overlapping side edges with the heating element extending outwardly therebeyond, effecting relative movement between electrodes in contact with the exposed sides of the heating element and the articles while applying current to the electrodes to create a moving localized melt zone, and applying pressure to the melt zone immediately following creation of the zone to fuse the articles to each other and to the heating element. | 02-05-2009 |
20090078367 | PNEUMATICALLY ACTUATED INFRARED WELDING METHOD AND APPARATUS - An infrared light source focuses infrared energy onto a work surface through the open end of a concentrator. The open end of the concentrator includes an elastomeric seal for sealably coupling the end of the concentrator directly to a work piece. Pneumatic pressure is applied through the concentrator and the seal to urge the work pieces together during the heating process to complete the weld. The method of infrared (IR) welding includes the steps of applying concentrated IR energy to at least one thermoplastic member while simultaneously applying pneumatic pressure to the work pieces for welding one member to another. | 03-26-2009 |
20090139647 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FORMING PLASTIC PALLETS - A preformed laminate is provided having first and second outer layers that sandwich a cellular or honeycomb shaped core. The peripheral edge of the preformed laminate may be inserted into the heating apparatus having one or more heating elements surrounded by a reflective back panel and one or more heat shields, which function to focus heat onto the peripheral edge. Once heated, the peripheral edge of the preformed laminate may then be inserted into a molding press having one or more adjustable pinch rails for forming the peripheral edge of the laminate into an enclosed pallet. | 06-04-2009 |
20110030892 | VACUUM HEAT INSULATING MATERIAL, METHOD OF PRODUCING VACUUM HEAT INSULATING MATERIAL, AND HEAT INSULATING BOX BODY USING VACUUM HEAT INSULATING MATERIAL - Disclosed is a vacuum heat insulating material. Also disclosed is a heat insulating box using the vacuum heat insulating material. The vacuum heat insulating material includes a core member and envelope members having gas-barrier properties and including heat-seal layers. The envelope members are opposed to each other in such a manner that the core member is disposed between the heat-seal layers. The envelope members are entirely heated to a temperature at which the heat-seal layers are melted, and the heat-seal layers are heat sealed to each other by applying uniform pressure to the entire envelope members from outside to inside the envelope members. | 02-10-2011 |
20120180949 | Microelectromechanical Device Packages with Integral Heaters - A microelectromechanical device package with integral a heater and a method for packaging the microelectromechanical device are disclosed in this invention. The microelectromechanical device package comprises a first package substrate and second substrate, between which a microelectromechanical device, such as a micromirror array device is located. In order to bonding the first and second package substrates so as to package the microelectromechanical device inside, a sealing medium layer is deposited, and heated by the heater so as to bond the first and second package substrates together. | 07-19-2012 |
20150027628 | METHOD OF ENCAPSULATING A PROJECTION AND MAKING AN EVACUATED CABINET - The invention relates to a method of using high velocity metal forming to encapsulate a projection of a non-metallic article by a metallic article and a method of crimping terminal flanges defining an interstitial space therebetween, while trapping a vapor barrier element between the terminal flanges, thereby hermetically sealing the interstitial space. | 01-29-2015 |

20160374852 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR ADJUSTING BLOOD CIRCULATION - Embodiments of the invention include a method and a device for increasing blood flow and controlling the temperature of a mammal by applying a desired pressure to extremities of a mammal. The device generally includes a pliant body element that is adapted to receive a portion of an extremity of the mammal therein, and then apply a pressure to a portion of the extremity when a pressure is provided to a region in which the extremity is positioned within the pliant body element. By evacuating the region in which the extremity is enclosed, a contact surface area between the extremity of a mammal and the pliant body element is increased, due to the external atmospheric pressure acting on the pliant body element against the skin of the extremity of the mammal. The application of pressure assures that sufficient contact and thermal heat transfer (heating or cooling) is provided to the extremity of the mammal. | 12-29-2016 |
