Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080226401Material removal tool stiffened with spacers arranged along a length - An exemplary embodiment of a material removal tool has a housing at a mating end, an extension longitudinally extending from the housing to a distal end, a plurality of spacers arranged along the extension, and a nut at the distal end of the extension, wherein the plurality of spacers are formed from a material having a Young's modulus of greater than about 1.5 times that of steel. The spacers along the extension of the tool place the stiffer material of the spacer at a location of greatest resistance to bending moments (i.e. highest sectional modulus). Optionally preloading and “built-in” relief points contribute to improved performance of the material removal tool. A method of manufacturing a material removal tool and a method of machining a workpiece are also disclosed.09-18-2008

20100054874FLIP CARTRIDGES AND MATERIAL REMOVAL TOOL WITH SAME - A material removal having a plurality of cartridges mounted on an active portion where a plurality of seating members mounted in each of the plurality of cartridges pivots about an axis between a retracted position and an extended position is disclosed. Alternative embodiments have a single pivotable seating member. The pivotable extending seating members operate to extend and retract in a scissors-like motion and enable compact and efficient machining operation, particularly for crank shaft bearing supports.03-04-2010

20110242413METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR GENERATING AND TRANSMITTING SYNCHRONIZED VIDEO DATA - Problem. Current systems for generating synchronized video sequences from multiple video sources are too complex, too restrictive, too cumbersome or too imprecise. There are also few practical ways of faithfully transmitting highly synchronized multivideo between video sources and video sinks.10-06-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110081739ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING MEMS DEVICES AND HOLED SUBSTRATES, IN PARTICULAR OF THE LGA OR BGA TYPE - An electronic device includes a substrate provided with a passing opening and a MEMS device including an active surface wherein a portion of the MEMS device is integrated sensitive to chemical/physical variations of a fluid. The active surface of the MEMS device faces the substrate and is spaced therefrom, the sensitive portion being aligned to the opening. A protective package incorporates at least partially the MEMS device and the substrate, leaving at least the sensitive portion of the MEMS device, and the opening of the substrate exposed. A barrier element is positioned in an area which surrounds the sensitive portion to realize a protection structure for the MEMS device, so that the sensitive portion is free.04-07-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20110138820Transportable Product Cooling Apparatus and Method - A portable, automated, cold-chain maintaining, cooling apparatus is disclosed. This apparatus comprises one or more portable cooling modules in communication with one or more portable transition modules. The cooling modules have cooling module conveyor apparatus to move containers of product through the module and a product cooling apparatus to provide cooling air to the product. The portable transition module is in communication with each of said one or more portable cooling modules in such a manner to maintain the cold temperature of said cooled product. A transition module conveyor apparatus within the transition module is in communication with the cooling module conveyor apparatus and automatically transfer the product from the cooling modules into the portable transition module.06-16-2011

20080256763Clip for interconnecting garments - The clip includes an outer component having an opening in which an inner component is received. The inner component is resiliency biased into a closed position in which its front and back walls are co-planar with the front and back walls, respectively, of the outer component. A force opposed to the bias of the resilient means causes the inner component to pivot away from the outer component thereby enlarging the space between the two components. A pair of socks or mitts may then be inserted into the space. The socks or mitts are retained in the space when the inner component springs back to the closed position. The clip is optionally provided with a panel on which information or illustrations is provided.10-23-2008
