20150187888 | ENGINEERED SUBSTRATES FOR USE IN CRYSTALLINE-NITRIDE BASED DEVICES - A spalling process can be employed to generate a fracture at a predetermined depth within a high quality crystalline nitride substrate, such as a bulk GaN substrate. A first crystalline conductive film layer can be separated, along the line of fracture, from the crystalline nitride substrate and subsequently bonded to a layered stack including a traditional lower-cost substrate. If the spalled surface of the first crystalline conductive film layer is exposed in the resulting structure, the structure can act as a substrate on which high quality GaN-based devices can be grown. | 07-02-2015 |

20150094753 | Intragastric Implants with Collapsible Frames - Transoral obesity treatment devices and related methods for operation thereof are described which occupy space within a stomach and/or stimulate the stomach wall. The transoral obesity treatment devices and related methods are intended to assist a patient in maintaining a healthy body weight. Features of the devices include insertion transorally and without invasive surgery, without associated patient risks of invasive surgery, and without substantial patient discomfort. The life span of these devices may be material-dependent upon long-term survivability within an acidic stomach, but is intended to last one year or longer. The devices have the capacity to vary in size and are desirably self-actuating in that they change shape and/or volume using internal motors or actuators. The changing character of the devices helps prevent the person's stomach from compensating for the implant, such as sometimes happens with static intragastric devices. | 04-02-2015 |
20150142044 | Non-Inflatable Gastric Implants and Systems - A variety of passive intragastric implant devices for obesity treatment are disclosed. Such passive devices do not autonomously change shape, but instead react within the stomach to induce satiety. The devices may take up volume within the stomach, thus reducing the intake capacity. Additionally, the devices may contact areas within the stomach, such as the cardia surrounding the esophageal sphincter, or the greater and lesser curvatures in the middle of the stomach, to stimulate satiety-inducing nerves. Some devices may combine two or more of these satiety-inducing features. Methods of implant are disclosed including compressing the devices within a delivery tube and transorally advancing the devices through the esophagus to be deployed within the stomach. Removal of the devices occurs in the reverse. | 05-21-2015 |

20090133990 | Secondary conveyor belt cleaner and mounting system therefor - A secondary system for cleaning a belt running between conveyor pulleys. The secondary system is comprised of a frame bar on which cleaning blades are mounted, two bracket assemblies to which the frame bar is adjustably mounted and an adjustment system mounted on the external sides of the bracket assemblies. In one embodiment, the bracket assemblies each include a pair of slotted arms over which two or more clamps are joined together. In another embodiment, each bracket assembly is comprised of an inner tube member that telescopes into two outer tube members, i.e., and an upper member that can be adjustably clamped to the inner tube and a lower tube member to which the frame bar is mounted and that is attached to said upper member by the adjustment system. The frame bar and bracket assemblies have rectangular cross-section so that, when mounted to each other, rotational movement of frame bar about its longitudinal axis is prohibited. This rotational prohibition is independent from the adjustment system for the frame bar positioning. | 05-28-2009 |
