20090038756 | Heater Unit and Thermal Fusion Apparatus For Synthetic Resin Members and Thermal Fusion Method For Synthetic Resin Members - It is intended to provide a method of producing thermally fused synthetic resin members for medical use which makes it possible that, in the case of thermally fusing synthetic resin members for medical use, for example, a relatively soft thermoplastic tube constituting an AVF needle with another part being harder than the tube such as a needle base (hub) of a wing needle, or a part provided with a fitting connector being harder than the tube (for example, a blood circuit, an extension tube, an infusion set or the like), the connecting parts of the thermoplastic tube member and the other member harder than the thermoplastic tube member can be quickly and uniformly thermal-fused and the production process can be automatically and continuously performed while keeping a high productivity; and a production apparatus therefor. | 02-12-2009 |
20090173443 | Method for building and using three-dimensional objects containing embedded identification-tag inserts - A method for building a three-dimensional object containing an identification-tag insert, the method comprising performing a build operation to form layers of the three-dimensional object using a layer-based additive technique, placing the identification-tag insert on at least a portion of the layers during the build operation, and reading information from the identification-tag insert. | 07-09-2009 |
20110000615 | FUEL CELL ELECTROLYTE MEMBRANE WITH BASIC POLYMER - The present invention is an electrolyte membrane comprising an acid and a basic polymer, where the acid is a low-volatile acid that is fluorinated and is either oligomeric or non-polymeric, and where the basic polymer is protonated by the acid and is stable to hydrolysis. | 01-06-2011 |
20140020826 | HEIGHT TAILORING OF INTERFACING PROJECTIONS - A method of joining a first component to a second component, the method comprising forming an array of projections extending from a bond surface of the first component, the projections having a plurality of different profiles; and embedding the array of projections in the second component formed of a plurality of laminate plies, wherein each projection profile is adapted to best transfer load into a respective one of the laminate plies. The resultant joint is able to transfer load more progressively between the two components leading to improved tensile strength. | 01-23-2014 |
20140158294 | ORIENTATION OF INTERFACING PROJECTIONS - A method of joining a first component to a second component, the method comprising preparing the first component by forming an array of elongate projections on a bond surface of the component, each projection having a centreline, a tip, and a base. The centreline at the tip of each projection is oriented at an angle with respect to the normal to the bond surface at its base, and the angular orientation of the tip centrelines varies across the array of projections. Next, the first component and a flexible layer are brought together so as to embed the projections in the flexible layer before hardening the flexible layer to form the second component. Also, a joint so formed. | 06-12-2014 |
20150083322 | Idle Air Control Valve With Plastic Housing And Retention Features - A method provides a plastic housing for an actuator. The actuator has a stator assembly coupled to a connector structure and a rotor assembly that rotates with respect to the stator assembly. The method inserts the stator assembly with connector structure connected thereto into an interior of the plastic housing until a surface of the stator assembly engages a surface of the plastic housing, with an annular end of the plastic housing extending beyond an adjacent annular surface of the connector structure. The annular end of the housing is heated and deformed to capture the annular surface of the connector structure, thereby coupling the plastic housing to the connector structure. | 03-26-2015 |
