| 20120168402 | METHOD FOR FORMING RECESS DEFECT ON CARBON NANOTUBE - A method for forming a recess defect on a carbon nanotube is introduced. The method includes the following steps. A substrate with a surface is provided. A first carbon nanotube is deposed on the surface of the substrate. A second carbon nanotube is crossed with the first carbon nanotube. The second carbon nanotube crosses the first carbon nanotube and is in contact with the first carbon nanotube. A mask is deposited on substrate, the first carbon nanotube, and the second carbon nanotube. The substrate is etched to remove the second carbon nanotube and form a recess defect on the first carbon nanotube at a crossing position. | 07-05-2012 |

At least a portion of the first integration plate, optional second integration plate, or both has a roughened surface topography including macro features, micro features, and nano features, without sharp teeth that risk damage to bone structures, adapted to grip bone through friction, inhibit migration of the implant, and promote bone growth. The process steps may include separate and sequential macro processing, micro processing, and nano processing steps. | 11-21-2013 |
| 20140054258 | METHOD FOR MAKING GROOVES ON A LUMINAL SURFACE OF AN INTRAVASCULAR STENT - Methods for manufacturing intravascular stents are disclosed wherein the intravascular stent has its inner surface treated to promote the migration of endothelial cells onto the inner surface of the intravascular stent. In particular, the inner surface of the intravascular stent has at least one groove formed therein. | 02-27-2014 |
| 20140158661 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INCREASING SURFACE AREA OF PIPES - An apparatus for altering a surface of a cylindrical object includes at least one container containing a fluid resist therein and having at least one opening from which the fluid resist is discharged; at least one roller operatively associated with the at least one container and having a surface sized and shaped to be exposed to the at least one opening, the surface area including a pattern of shapes and upon which the fluid resist is deposited; and at least one support member adjacent the at least one roller for supporting the cylindrical object during transit for contacting the at least one roller. A method is also provided. | 06-12-2014 |
