Reducing Crimping Damage to Polymer Scaffold

ActiveUS20120042501A1Reduce harmImprove batch yieldStentsLarge fixed membersCatheterPolymer scaffold
A medical device includes a polymer scaffold crimped to a catheter having an expansion balloon. The scaffold is crimped to the catheter by a multi-step process for increasing scaffold-catheter yield following a crimping sequence. Damage reduction during a crimping sequence includes modifying blades of a crimper, adopting a multi-step crimping sequence, and inflating a supporting balloon to support the scaffold during crimping.

Wire-stranded medical hollow tube, and a medical guide wire

In a wire-stranded hollow tube (1), a plurality of metallic wires (8) preformed with a predetermined forming rate are twisted along a circular line into a careless hollow configuration. When twisting the metallic wires (8), the neighboring metallic elements (1a, 1a) are subjected to compression with no gap between the neighboring metallic elements (1a, 1a). This increases a contact pressure between the neighboring metallic elements (1a, 1a) to attain a good tightness with a good circularity and diametrical uniformity secured therebetween, thus preventing the wire-stranded hollow tube (1) from inadvertently collapsing. A tightness is strengthened between the neighboring metallic elements (1a, 1a) when the metallic elements (1a, 1a) of different helical pitch are used. By applying the wire-stranded hollow tube (1) to a medical guide wire, a quick torque response and a good torque transmissibility are ensured which lead to a good manipulatability with a favorable follow-on capability.

Compositions to permit print-patterned coagulation of polyurethane on fabric substrates

A process for the production of a fabric / elastomer composite is provided. The inventive process involves the impregnation through a printing procedure of an inventive elastomer composition comprising (i) a water-borne polyurethane latex, (ii) an acid-generating chemical, (iii) a cloud point surfactant, (iv) a thickener, and (v) optionally, a cross-linking agent, within a textile fabric. Subsequently, the impregnated fabric is then heated, preferably with steam, in order to generate an acid, which, in turn, permits the surfactant to gel and uniformly coagulate the latex over the fabric surface. The fabric is preferably a circular knit comprised of polyester and / or lycra fibers. The composite may be utilized within any fabric application requiring a support function, particularly as joint braces, sports brassieres, support apparel, and the like. The inventive elastomer composition is also provided.

One-drop fill spacerless process for liquid crystal cell on a silicon backplane or microdisplays

A method and an arrangement for the spacerless dispensing of precise amounts of liquid crystals into cells to form active liquid crystal display areas on silicon backplane or microdisplays. There is implemented a unique spacerless manufacture of miniature liquid crystal displays (LCD's), particularly at the wafer level in that, subsequent to imparting the active elements and mirrors on a silicon wafer, there is formed a completely enclosed spacer wall, preferably by photolithographic applications, along a peripheral wall region extending externally of the active display area and leaving a narrow space for a sealant externally of the spacer wall. Thereafter, an alignment layer is applied to the wafer, and a covering glass, which is of similar size and configuration, is provided in order to cover the entire active area of the wafer. Thereafter, the sealant is dispensed in the sealant region outside of the spacer wall extending about the liquid crystal areas, which may contain discrete spacer balls or posts, and thereafter lamination implemented under a vacuum, and the sealant is cured.

Method to Provide Slots in Pipes

The present invention refers to a method to provide slots in pipes and, more specifically, to a method to provide slots in metal pipes used to extract oil or to form slotted lines, wherein said slots are specially designed to avoid the intake of impurities while pumping oil. More specifically, the method consists of the following steps: a) external cleaning of the pipe (1) with slag jetting to remove the protecting layer that comes from its manufacture or to remove the impurities due to its oxidation; b) placing the pipe (1) on the receiving table by the set of motors (2) to be subsequently transferred to the cutting table (3), by means of motors (4); c) positioning and fixation of the pipe in the cutting cabin (5) by screwing the pneumatic rotating plate (6); d) execution of the first sequence of slots in the pipe by means of laser or plasma, in a refrigerated environment, by making a first slot with pre-defined power and subsequently the opening of the slot with determined length and thickness, according to the characteristics of the pipe, with said slot having an initial section with parallel shape and subsequently with divergent section; e) angle rotation of the pipe by means of turning the rotating plate (6) to make the second sequence of slots, in the opposite direction of the first sequence and then successively on the whole perimeter of the pipe to meet the desired specification; f) removal of the sludge and impurities generated by the cut by the sleeves (7); g) internal cleaning of the slotted pipe with slag jetting; h) visual inspection of the slotted pipe to correct failures and possible imperfections with MIG soldering; and i) painting to provide a uniform visual aspect to the slotted pipe.

Method for preparing TC4/TiAl gradient material through laser synchronous powder feeding

The invention provides a method for preparing a TC4 / TiAl gradient material through laser synchronous powder feeding. The method comprises the following steps that firstly, TC4 alloy powder and TiAl alloy powder are mixed in four ratios of mass fractions; secondly, an oxidation film of a TC4 titanium alloy substrate is removed, and the surface of the substrate is deoiled; thirdly, the four kinds ofmixed alloy powder obtained in the first step are put into a vacuum drying oven for drying to obtain dried powder; fourthly, four gradient layers are prepared on the TC4 titanium alloy substrate deoiled in the second step by using the four kinds of mixed alloy powder obtained in the first step from bottom to top in sequence, finally, a total TiAl layer is prepared on the gradient layers, and theTC4 / TiAl gradient material is obtained; and fifthly, whole destressing annealing is conducted. By means of the method, uniform transition of the elements Ti and Al is achieved, residual stress is reduced, the interface structure is improved, cracks are prevented from being produced, connection between the titanium alloy and the TiAl alloy is achieved, the using temperature of a part is increased to 700 DEG C or above from about 400 DEG C, and the high-temperature using performance of a hot-end part is improved.

Optical projection apparatus

An optical projection apparatus includes an illumination system, a projection lens unit, a reflective light valve, a first beam breaker and a second beam breaker. A light beam is provided by the illumination system. The projection lens unit and the reflective light valve are disposed on the transmission path of the light beam, and the reflective light valve is disposed between the illumination system and the projection lens unit. The first beam breaker and the second beam breaker are used to cut into the transmission path of the light beam from different directions to block a part of the light beam, and part of the light beam passes through the first beam breaker and the second beam breaker. The darker image projected by the optical projection apparatus has higher contrast and better uniformity.
