20140260079 | MODULAR DOOR BEAM ASSEMBLY AND METHOD OF ASSEMBLY - A modular beam assembly for installation on an automobile panel is provided. The modular beam assembly has an elongate beam inserted through a plurality of collars forming a slip fit and a retaining cap inserted on at least one end of the elongate beam to retain the elongate beam within the collars. A heat-curable adhesive material may be applied to the collars, the elongate beam, and the retaining cap. The assembly allows displacement of the elongate beam within the collars until the adhesive material is cured. | 09-18-2014 |

20120055841 | EDGE-ENCAPSULATED PANELS USING HIGH DAMPING FOAM - Methods for reducing vibration or noise that is transmitted by or through a relatively thin, flat, rigid sheet of material such as a glass pane (e.g., the windshield of a vehicle) or metal panel are provided, wherein such a panel is provided with a material between the panel and a frame that is capable of causing attenuation of the noise or vibration propagating from the panel to the frame or vice versa. Such an assembly is especially useful for glazing in a vehicle for the purpose of improving acoustic comfort within the vehicle. | 03-08-2012 |

20150305765 | TISSUE RESECTORS WITH CUTTING WIRES, HAND OPERATED TISSUE RESECTING SYSTEMS AND ASSOCIATED METHODS - A tissue resector includes an outer cannula with a cutting wire disposed therein. The outer cannula includes an opening that is configured to be associated with a cutting element of the cutting wire in such a way that when tissue is drawn into the opening of the cannula, a cutting element of the cutting wire can be rotated past the opening to engage and cut into and through the tissue. The outer cannula and the cutting wire may also be configured to enable aspiration of the tissue. A tissue resector according to this disclosure may be used with a hand-held, hand-operated rooter. | 10-29-2015 |

20140343539 | APPARATUSES FOR PROVIDING PROXIMAL GUIDE WIRE CONTROL, SYSTEMS INCLUDING THE SAME AND METHODS FOR INSTALLING ELONGATED MEDICAL DEVICES ONTO GUIDE WIRES - A proximal control apparatus for providing a healthcare professional with proximal control over a guide wire and an elongated medical device, such as a catheter, installed over the catheter is disclosed. The proximal control apparatus includes a relatively short guide wire extender and a housing with a passageway for receiving the guide wire extender and a portion of an elongated medical device installed over the guide wire extender. The guide wire extender has a curvilinear configuration that corresponds to a curvilinear configuration of the passageway through the housing. These complementary configurations secure the guide wire extender within the passageway as an elongated medical instrument is installed onto and moved along the guide wire extender and a guide wire that has been coupled to a distal end of the guide wire extender. | 11-20-2014 |

20090121137 | MICROBOLOMETER INFRARED SECURITY SENSOR - An infrared sensor, comprising a focal plane array (FPA) of resistance microbolometer infrared detectors connected in such a manner to produce different pixel formats to meet specific detection requirements. Typically each imaging pixel may be a mosaic comprising a number of sub-pixels connected in parallel (although other configurations are possible), resulting in enhanced performance and ease of manufacture by micro-fabrication methods. The FPA may be integrated with a readout microcircuit on the same substrate so that with appropriate signal processing one is capable of forming an image of the field of view of interest, facilitating target recognition and very low false alarm rate. | 05-14-2009 |

20110150184 | MULTIPLE WAVELENGTH X-RAY SOURCE - A multiple wavelength x-ray source includes a multi-thickness target, having at least a first and a second thickness. The first thickness can substantially circumscribe the second thickness. An electron beam can be narrowed to impinge primarily upon second thickness or expanded to impinge primarily upon the first thickness while maintaining a constant direction of the beam. This invention allows the target thickness to be optimized for the desired output wavelength without the need to redirect or realign the x-rays towards the target. | 06-23-2011 |
20120087476 | POLYMER LAYER ON X-RAY WINDOW - An x-ray window comprising a plurality of thin film layers stacked together, including a thin film layer and a polymer layer. The thin film layer can be diamond, graphene, diamond-like carbon, beryllium, and combinations thereof. The polymer layer can be a polyimide. A boron hydride layer may also be included. | 04-12-2012 |
20120213336 | MULTIPLE-SIZE SUPPORT FOR X-RAY WINDOW - An x-ray window including a support frame with a perimeter and an aperture. A plurality of ribs can extend across the aperture of the support frame and can be supported or carried by the support frame. Openings exist between ribs to allow transmission of x-rays through such openings with no attenuation of x-rays by the ribs. A film can be disposed over and span the ribs and openings. The ribs can have at least two different cross-sectional sizes including at least one larger sized rib with a cross-sectional area that is at least 5% larger than a cross-sectional area of at least one smaller sized rib. | 08-23-2012 |
20130094629 | POLYMER LAYER ON X-RAY WINDOW - An x-ray window includes a mount with a support frame and an aperture. A window film has a stack of layers including: a thin film layer comprising a material selected from the group consisting of diamond, graphene, diamond-like carbon, beryllium, and combinations thereof; a boron hydride layer; and a polymer layer. The window film, including the thin film layer, the boron hydride layer, and the polymer layer, extends across the aperture and is supported by the support frame. The window film is attached to the support frame, defining a sealed joint. The layers are capable of withstanding a differential pressure of at least 1 atmosphere. The window film is substantially transmissive to x-rays having an energy in the range of 100-20,000 electronvolts. | 04-18-2013 |

20120181846 | OMNI-DIRECTIONAL WHEEL - An omni-directional wheel has a rim for mounting a tire, a hub for rotatably attaching the wheel to a vehicle, and a means for connecting the rim and the hub. The rim of the wheel has a part which is rotatably connected to the hub and which, when radially rotating around the hub, engages the surface of the tire mounted on the rim for rolling the tire on the rim. Thus, when the wheel is engaging the ground, the tire rolling on the rim causes a side movement of the wheel in a plan orthogonal to the normal plan of rotation of the wheel when attached to the vehicle. A solid-core tire for use with the omni-directional wheel has treads patterns or a helical coil shape for engaging the rotatable part of the rim. A method for manufacturing a solid-core tire is also provided. | 07-19-2012 |
