20130274893 | METHOD FOR ENHANCING ULTRASOUND VISIBILITY OF HYPERECHOIC MATERIALS - A hydrogel plug is placed under stress during its curing stage, in one embodiment, by application of an externally applied force. The stress may also be induced during or after the dehydration process. The direction of the externally applied force increases the length, width, depth, or radial extent of the plug. The elastic limit of the plug is exceeded when the external force is applied so that the plug substantially retains its stressed size and shape when the externally applied force is removed. When the stretched or otherwise deformed dehydrated plug is hydrated, it substantially returns to the configuration it had prior to its dehydration and prior to the application of the externally applied force. | 10-17-2013 |
20140364929 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR INSTALLING A STENT - A method for installing a stent graft in therapeutic relation to an abdominal artery aneurysm includes the steps of advancing the stent graft over a guide wire and an introducer sheath, followed by advancing a main catheter over the guide wire and the introducer sheath. An inner catheter in the lumen of the main catheter is pulled to cause a magnet-carrying extended arm to encounter a kick plate in the main catheter lumen and to exit that lumen through an exit opening formed in the main catheter. A mating catheter having a magnetic tip is advanced over a contralateral guide wire and manipulated until the respective magnets engage. After specific positioning of the contralateral guide wire, the magnets are decoupled, the mating catheter is retracted, the inner catheter is pushed to return the extended arm into the main catheter lumen through the exit opening and the main catheter is withdrawn. | 12-11-2014 |

20150242788 | SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND NON-TRANSITORY COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIUMS THAT PROVIDE FOR PARTITIONING OF AN ORIGINAL GEOGRAPHIC AREA INTO MULTIPLE GEOGRAPHIC SEED AREAS AS PART OF BALANCING A BUSINESS-RELATED WORKLOAD - A method is described for partitioning an original geographic area into smaller logical geographic seed areas as part of balancing a business-related workload. A computer system generates a plurality of data structures in a memory respectively representing the plurality of logical geographic seed areas based upon a watershed analysis of transport-related burden information within the original geographic area and transport-related flow information within the original geographic area. Each data structure includes a first element identifying the logical geographic seed areas and a second data element identifying a seed point. The computer system then determines if the business-related workload for each of the logical geographic seed areas is substantially balanced based upon the at least one business-related metric. If there is an imbalance, the computer system transforms at least one of the data structures to effectively partition one of the seed areas into smaller subdivisions represented with alternative data structures. | 08-27-2015 |

20100040903 | Anisotropically compliant horns for ultrasonic vibratory solid-state bonding - A horn for vibratory solid-state ultrasonic welding of metals and similarly-behaved materials “self-levels” to produce wide continuous seams or large-area spot-welds between delicate workpieces without damage, even if the workpieces are not perfectly flat and parallel to the nominal toolface angle. The horn toolface flexes under pressure to conform to skew-angled workpieces because it is disposed on a tool head supported by a tool neck cut from the tool body. The tool head, the tool neck, or both are anisotropically compliant. When resonances are properly optimized for typical VSS modes of vibration, atypical but useful localized modes are excited at the compliant toolface edges, actually intensifying the bond energy where one might normally expect unwanted damping. Various design approaches optimize the characteristics of the tool head and tool neck to various materials and bonding configurations. The horns can be configured for use with existing ultrasonic welders. | 02-18-2010 |
