| 20090250157 | SEALING APPLIANCE - An appliance for sealing elastic hoses with a sleeve, which is plastically deformable and slipped onto the hose, has two jaws which are movable towards and away from each other. One jaw has two straight bars which project towards the other jaw and extend transversely of the sleeve to make two transverse indentations in the sleeve and the hose when the jaws are moving towards each other. The same jaw has a cutting edge which projects towards the other jaw and is directed transversely of the sleeve, the cutting edge making a substantially transverse cutting indication in the sleeve and the hose when the jaws are moving towards each other. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20100126655 | BALLOON CATHETER HAVING IMPROVED BALLOON SEAL - The end cap is preferably formed of a relatively high durometer material with an inner surface on an outer surface of the shaft and on an outer surface of the balloon skirt section, and contacts a compression member on the balloon outer surface. The configuration prevents or inhibits failure at the balloon seals which otherwise results from the compression member moving or the balloon pulling off the shaft and out from under the compression member during inflation of the balloon. As a result, the balloon catheter of the invention has an improved consistent burst pressure and/or failure mode. | 05-27-2010 |
| 20100218885 | Intraluminal Stent Graft - A method of making an tubular intraluminal graft in the form of a tubular diametrically adjustable stent having a tubular covering of porous expanded PTFE which is less than 0.10 mm thick. The covering may be on the exterior surface of the stent, or on the interior surface of the stent, or both. The covering may be affixed to the stent by an adhesive which is preferably fluorinated ethylene propylene. | 09-02-2010 |
| 20100307667 | METHOD FOR MAKING A SEAMLESS PLASTIC MOTION DISCOMFORT RECEPTACLE - A plastic motion sickness receptacle is disclosed having a seamless perimeter defined by a tubular member folded at a first closed end, and an open end including means for closing the receptacle after use. The plastic tubular member comprises integrally formed walls that terminate in a base at said closed end with the edges of the walls cooperating to form a fluid-tight relationship. An outer surface of the receptacle may include indicia printed thereon including instructions for using the bag upon the occurrence of motion sickness. | 12-09-2010 |
| 20100314033 | DEVICE FOR WELDING PLASTIC TUBES - A device for welding plastic tubes includes a pair of tube holders each of which has a tube clamp which includes an upper jaw and a lower jaw. The jaws in both of the tube clamps of both tube holders have smooth tube contacting walls to permit the tubing to slip through either side when the tube holders and tubes are being moved from a loading station to a stripping station to increase the length of fluid free area in the clamped tubes, | 12-16-2010 |
| 20120193019 | Variable Tg Shape Memory Polyurethane For Wellbore Devices - Wellbore devices for use in filtration, wellbore isolation, production control, lifecycle management and wellbore construction may include at least a first and a second shape-memory material each having an altered geometric position and each an original geometric position. Each shape-memory material may include a polyurethane material held in the altered geometric run-in position at a temperature below glass transition temperature (T | 08-02-2012 |
| 20150297796 | STENTS WITH RADIOPAQUE MARKERS - Various embodiments of stents with radiopaque markers arranged in patterns are described herein. | 10-22-2015 |
| 20150343184 | Segmental Crimper Having Individually Heated Crimper Segments and Method of Using the Same - A segmental crimper comprises at least three crimper segments and an actuator. The crimper segments are arranged circumferentially about a crimper axis that defines axial and radial directions. The crimper segments are movable relative to each other in a manner such that the crimper segments collectively define a variable size aperture that is aligned with the crimper axis. Each of the crimper segments comprises a radio frequency heating element. The actuator is operatively connected to the crimper segments in a manner such that movement of the actuator causes all of the crimper segments to simultaneously move relative to each other and alters the size of the aperture. | 12-03-2015 |
| 20150376072 | METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING HONEYCOMB STRUCTURE - A method for manufacturing a honeycomb structure in which some of a plurality of through-holes that are opened at the end face of the cylinder, and mutually divided by partitions, have been closed, wherein a closing jig is inserted into some of the plurality of hexagonal cells of a green honeycomb molded body which has a plurality of hexagonal cells mutually divided by partitions and is open at the end face of the cylinder, thereby contact bonding together the partitions to close the hexagonal cells. Thus, it is possible to close hexagonal cells in a very simple manner during manufacture of the honeycomb molded body. | 12-31-2015 |
| 20160030283 | Storage Bag - A method of making a storage bag comprising the following steps performed in any order: (a) forming a composite tube having an inner surface comprising a higher melting polymer, an outer surface comprising a lower melting polymer, two ends, and a diameter; (b) flattening the tube in a direction perpendicular to the diameter; (c) forming a joint at one of the ends at a temperature between respective melting points of the higher melting polymer and the lower melting polymer; (d) providing a composite sheet having a first side comprising a higher melting polymer and a second side comprising a lower melting polymer; and (e) disposing the composite sheet over the joint such that the first side comprising a lower melting polymer engages the joint and forming a lap seam over the joint at a temperature between respective melting points of the higher melting polymer and the lower melting polymer, and a storage bag made by such method. | 02-04-2016 |
