| 20150335404 | MOLD WITH WEAKENED AREAS - A breakable or deflectable mold includes a first section, a second section, and a weakened region that joins the first section to the second section. The weakened region is breakable or deflectable to enable the first section to be removed independently of the second section after a shell is formed over the breakable mold. | 11-26-2015 |
| 20150336299 | MOLD WITH SEPARABLE FEATURES - A mold comprises a main body and a separable feature. One or more weakened regions join the separable feature to the main body. The one or more weakened regions are breakable to enable the main body to be removed from a shell independently of the separable feature after the shell is formed over the mold. | 11-26-2015 |
| 20160047064 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CONTROLLED ALIGNMENT AND DEPOSITION OF BRANCHED ELECTROSPUN FIBER - A method for separating out a continuous single thread of fiber from many fiber branches and controlling alignment and deposition of said fiber on a substrate, comprising: electrospinning synthetic polymer fiber streams from an electrically charged syringe needle; controlling the fiber using at least one electrically charged metallic disk rotating about an axis positioned below the needle; capturing the fiber using electrically grounded collector; extracting a single fiber branch thread from the polymer fiber streams, wherein the single fiber branch thread is attracted to and intercepted by the collector shape, and depositing the single fiber branch thread as substantially aligned fiber on the collector. | 02-18-2016 |

| 20160157963 | METHODS FOR SHAPING GREEN BODIES AND ARTICLES MADE BY SUCH METHODS - A method of shaping a green body provides a shaped green body comprised of a plurality of sinterable particles and an organic binder. Such a method includes: (1) molding a mixture of sinterable particles and organic binder into the shape of an initial green body or intermediate, wherein the sinterable particles include at least one of metal particles or ceramic particles; and (2) shaping the green body intermediate with at least one of a stream of energy or a stream of matter, wherein the shaping yields a green body having a desired shape. The shaped green body can be sintered in order to provide a hardened body having substantially the shape of the shaped green body. | 06-09-2016 |
| 20160158627 | PERFORMANCE ENHANCING BITE REGULATOR AND SELF-IMPRESSION SYSTEM AND METHOD OF CUSTOM FITTING SAME - A method of custom fitting a mouth piece includes providing a self-impression kit with at least one dental impression bite registration tool, impression material, and instructions. The instructions direct the steps of: a) determining a natural or symmetrical bite position of a subject utilizing the bite registration tool; b) applying impression material to an intraoral portion of the bite registration tool; c) placing the bite registration tool and the impression material in the subject's mouth; d) forming an impression of the subject's teeth and gums in the impression material by the subject biting on the intraoral portion of the bite registration tool in the previously determined natural bite position; and e) delivering the bite registration tool and formed impression material to a manufacturer to have a bite regulator fabricated using the formed impression. | 06-09-2016 |
| 20160158629 | MOUTHGUARD AND FABRICATING METHOD THEREOF - A mouthguard includes a mouthguard body and a film structure. The mouthguard body includes a front part, a rear part and a bottom part. A trench is defined by the front part, the rear part and the bottom part collaboratively. The film structure includes a first surface and a second surface. A marked pattern is printed on the second surface. The second surface of the film structure is attached on an outer surface of the front part of the mouthguard body while the mouthguard body is produced by an injection molding process, so that ink or pigment of the marked pattern is confined between the mouthguard body and the film structure without being exposed to outside. | 06-09-2016 |
