| 20100294105 | METHOD FOR VARIABLE-ANGLE CUTTING OF A SUTURE TO CREATE TISSUE RETAINERS OF A DESIRED SHAPE AND SIZE - A method for manufacturing a self-retaining suture is disclosed. A cutting bed supports the suture during cutting. A cutting device is moved through the suture thread along a selected path. The angle of the cutting device is changed during cutting. A cutting arm is articulated to allow change of the angle of the cutting device. The change in the angle of the cutting device is used to control the depth of cut and/or elevate a tissue-retainer away from the suture to better engage tissue. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100294106 | SYSTEM FOR SUPPORTING AND CUTTING SUTURE THREAD TO CREATE TISSUE RETAINERS THEREON - A system for manufacturing self-retaining suture includes means for supporting the suture during cutting of retainers which protrude from the suture at multiple angles. The system includes an anvil having a channel configured to support a suture during cutting of a retainer at a first angular position while providing for non-interference between the anvil and retainers 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 retainers during creation of subsequent retainers. The system thereby provides for rotating the suture and supporting the suture with the anvil without interference with previously-formed retainers. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20100300259 | SUBSTRATE SIDE MARKING AND IDENTIFICATION - Embodiments of the present invention provide an accurate method for marking substrates for individual substrate identification and tracking during a solar cell fabrication process. In one embodiment, each crystalline silicon ingot is marked on at least two sides via a scribing technique. In one embodiment, each crystalline silicon ingot is marked on three sides via a scribing technique. The ingots are then sliced into individual substrates, which retain the clearly visible and robust markings on the sides of the substrate. In one embodiment, the markings are detected by images captured by a moderate resolution camera at desired locations through a solar cell production line. In one embodiment, the markings are manually readable at one or more desired points throughout the solar cell production process. In general, the combination of markings uniquely identifies each individual substrate, the ingot from which the substrate was sliced, and the location within the ingot from which the substrate was obtained. | 12-02-2010 |
