| 20100313729 | METHODS FOR CUTTING A SUTURE TO CREATE TISSUE RETAINERS ON THE SURFACE OF THE SUTURE - A method for manufacturing self-retaining suture includes supporting the suture during cutting of retainers at multiple angles. The method utilizes an anvil having a channel configured to support a suture during cutting of a barb at a first angular position while providing for non-interference between the anvil and barbs previously cut on the suture at one or more angular positions different than the first angular position. In embodiments the channel is provided with notches which receive previously-formed barbs during creation of subsequent barbs. Thus the method provides for rotating the suture and then supporting the suture with the anvil without interference with previously formed retainers. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20120118123 | Method of Forming Barbs on a Suture - A method is provided for forming a barbed medical device which includes the steps of providing a blank workpiece and forming at least one barb on the blank workpiece by applying vibrational energy to a tool and bringing the tool and the blank workpiece into contact with each other at an angle such that the tool cuts into the surface of the blank workpiece. A barbed medical device formed by this method is also provided. | 05-17-2012 |
| 20120266733 | SURFACE SAMPLE COLLECTION TOOL - A sampling device for removing a surface portion from a substrate. The device includes a frame structure and a cutter head assembly. The cutter head assembly includes a pivot body having a first end supported at a pivot point on the frame structure, and a cutter supported for rotation about a rotational axis at a second end of the pivot body. The cutter has a semi-ellipsoidal shape and a drive motor is operably connected to the cutter. The pivot point is located in spaced relation to the rotational axis. The cutter is operable to cut a surface portion of a substrate during pivotal movement about the pivot point. | 10-25-2012 |
| 20130098220 | EXTERNAL BEAD SCARFER AND CHOPPER FOR PIPES AND TUBES - A process and system for continuously removing an external weld bead from a moving pipe or tube that has been formed with a longitudinal weld seam extending along a longitudinal axis of the pipe or tube. An at least partially closed ribbon chamber receives scarfed ribbon on one end of the chamber, and a chopping device located adjacent the other end of the chamber chops the ribbon into pieces, before the ribbon pieces can jam or disrupt the continuous system flow. | 04-25-2013 |
| 20130340589 | MANUFACTURING DEVICE AND METHOD OF LIQUID CRYSTAL PANEL - The present disclosure provides a manufacturing device and manufacturing method of a liquid crystal panel. The manufacturing device includes a cutting device for cutting a split plate of a CF substrate of the liquid crystal panel to reveal terminals of a TFT transistor substrate of the liquid crystal panel; a cutting detecting device for detecting cutting state of the split plate and outputting the detecting result; and a first transferring device for receiving the detecting result and operating according to the detecting result. The cutting detecting device detects the cutting state of the liquid crystal panel cut by the cutting device and outputs the detected cutting state to the first transferring device, which prevents the liquid crystal panel with the remained split plate from being transferred to the LC alignment device and avoids the undesirable alignment of the CF substrate and the waste of the liquid crystal panel. | 12-26-2013 |
| 20140069250 | TEXTURING OF A STORAGE CELL FOR REDUCED FRICTION RETENTION OF A DATA STORAGE CARTRIDGE - Described are embodiments of an invention for a method and a tool to produce a textured surface on the retention tab of a storage cell. The tool has a form that fits within the storage cell. The form has a hard material with a hard surface with contacts a surface of the retention tab within the storage cell. The movement of the hard surface across the surface of the retention tab produces a textured surface on the retention tab. The textured interface between a notch of a data storage cartridge and a retention tab of a storage cell provides a consistent and low friction force that retains the data storage cartridge within the cell but allows the accessor to easily remove the data storage cartridge when needed. | 03-13-2014 |
| 20140090538 | METHOD FOR STRIPPING LONG SEGMENTS OF BUFFERED OPTICAL FIBER AND A TOOL FOR PERFORMING THE SAME - A method and optical fiber stripper for removing one or more coatings from an optical fiber is disclosed. The method includes inserting an optical fiber into an optical fiber stripper comprising a pair of fiber stress distributing elements, wherein a normal stress is applied to the fiber by the fiber stress distributing elements along the length of fiber intended to be stripped. The optical fiber stripper includes a pair of grip members, a cutting mechanism, and a pair of fiber stress distributing elements. | 04-03-2014 |
| 20140238213 | METHOD FOR PERFORMING A MECHANICAL OPERATION IN A STRUCTURE COMPRISING TWO LAYERS OF DIFFERENT STIFFNESS - A method for performing at least one mechanical operation on a structure including at least one first layer stacked onto at least a second layer, the first layer including at least one material with a Young's modulus equal to or higher than about 50 GPa and higher than that of at least one material of the second layer, the method including: thinning the first layer, located at least at one area of the structure intended to undergo application of a pressing force upon implementing the mechanical operation; and implementing the mechanical operation including applying the pressing force located on at least one part of the area of the structure. | 08-28-2014 |
| 20140245875 | STRIPPING APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR TIGHT-BUFFERED OPTICAL FIBERS - Apparatus and methods for stripping tight-buffered optical fibers are disclosed. The methods include removing a portion of the buffer layer and thin-coating layer to expose the bare fiber at the optical fiber end, wherein the cuts to the optical fiber needed to strip the optical fiber are made simultaneously. In some methods, a portion of the cover is used to clean the bare fiber as the cover portion is removed. In other methods, the normal force that secures the cover is alleviated so that the cover portion can be removed without breaking the bare fiber. Different apparatus configured to effectuate the stripping methods are disclosed. | 09-04-2014 |
| 20140305274 | INTEGRATED LABEL REMOVER - To assist in the reuse and repurposing of packaging and others materials, the present disclosure provides an integrated label remover that allows for quick and easy removal of media (e.g., labels, UPC codes) from a box or other packaging material (e.g., a protective envelope). The label remover utilizes a micro blade to score or cut around the label and a larger lifting blade that allows a user to easily detach the edge of the media for removal. The micro blade can cut to a micro layer thickness while preserving the integrity of the box. This micro layer cut provides access to the area between the media and the material, so that the lifting blade can be inserted to disrupt any adhesive or other means of affixation. | 10-16-2014 |
