20090002622 | LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY PANEL AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING THE SAME - A liquid crystal cell article includes a layer of liquid crystal material disposed between a first polymeric substrate and a second polymeric substrate. The first polymeric substrate includes a plurality of first parallel conductive traces extending in a first direction and disposed between the layer of liquid crystal material and the first substrate, and a first release liner disposed on the first polymeric substrate. The second polymeric substrate includes a plurality of second parallel conductive traces extending in a second direction orthogonal to the first direction and disposed between the layer of liquid crystal material and the second substrate. The first polymeric substrate further includes a removable portion that is separable from the first polymeric substrate with the first release liner to expose a portion of the layer of liquid crystal material or second parallel conductive traces. | 01-01-2009 |
20100318052 | CONFORMABLE MEDICAL DRESSING WITH SELF SUPPORTING SUBSTRATE - A medical dressing comprising a backing layer and a self-supporting substrate. The backing layers form a perimeter around the self supporting substrate and hold the self supporting substrate in place on a wound. | 12-16-2010 |
20110151350 | FUEL CELL SUBASSEMBLIES INCORPORATING SUBGASKETED THRIFTED MEMBRANES - A fuel cell roll good subassembly is described that includes a plurality of individual electrolyte membranes. One or more first subgaskets are attached to the individual electrolyte membranes. Each of the first subgaskets has at least one aperture and the first subgaskets are arranged so the center regions of the individual electrolyte membranes are exposed through the apertures of the first subgaskets. A second subgasket comprises a web having a plurality of apertures. The second subgasket web is attached to the one or more first subgaskets so the center regions of the individual electrolyte membranes are exposed through the apertures of the second subgasket web. The second subgasket web may have little or no adhesive on the subgasket surface facing the electrolyte membrane. | 06-23-2011 |
20130282049 | ELASTIC STRIP - The disclosed elastic strip includes an elastic substrate and an overlying carrier. The elastic strip allows for controlled stretch of the elastic substrate. After stretching and applying to skin, the elastic strip can pull portions of the adhered skin. Therefore, the elastic strip can be used as a wound closure or as a nasal dilator, for example. | 10-24-2013 |
20130317405 | MODULAR WOUND DRESSING - The disclosed medical dressing has at least two thin film backings in overlapping relation to one another. The backings entirely surround an opening to form a window. In one embodiment, the first and second backings are a conformable film each formed in a generally C-shape such that the open ends of the C-shape are laterally aligned with one another and form an opening at least partially surrounded by the first and second backing. In use, the opening generally is aligned with a wound. The medical dressing, being constructed from at least two backings, allows for control of the desired opening side during application of the backings by overlapping portions of the backings. | 11-28-2013 |
20140061408 | MEDICAL ARTICLE SECUREMENT SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF USING SAME - Brackets, systems comprising a bracket, and methods for securing medical articles. The bracket can include a base, a post coupled to the base and extending upwardly from the base in a direction generally normal to a first major surface of the base, and an arm coupled to the base and extending generally parallel to the first major surface of the base. The arm can be spaced a distance from the first major surface of the base to define a channel under the arm that is dimensioned to receive at least a portion of the medical article. The arm can be cantilevered, and the post and the arm can each be fixed with respect to the base. Methods can include abutting an external surface of the medical article against the post; and moving a portion of the medical article into the channel defined by the arm. | 03-06-2014 |
20140066856 | MEDICAL ARTICLE SECUREMENT SYSTEMS COMPRISING A BRACKET AND A FLAP - A medical article securement system comprising a bracket and a flap for securing a medical article. The bracket can include a base, and an arm coupled to the base and extending generally parallel to the first major surface of the base. The arm can be spaced a distance from the first major surface of the base to define a channel under the arm that can be dimensioned to receive at least a portion of the medical article. The flap can include a fixed end, and a free end that is movable with respect to the bracket between a first position in which the flap is not positioned over the bracket, and a second position in which at least a portion of the flap is positioned over the bracket to further inhibit movement of the medical article. The fixed end of the flap can be coupled to the bracket. | 03-06-2014 |
20140066882 | MEDICAL ARTICLE SECUREMENT SYSTEMS COMPRISING INDICIA AND METHODS OF USING SAME - A medical article securement system comprising indicia and methods of using same. The indicia can include a representation of a medical article, such that the indicia mimics the appearance of the medical article and provides a visual cue for coupling the medical article to the medical article securement system. The systems can further include a bracket that can comprise the indicia. Methods can include orienting the medical article relative to the medical article securement system in an orientation that matches the indicia, and coupling the medical article to the medical article securement system. | 03-06-2014 |
