20090311061 | Impact Resistant Tool Bit and Tool Bit Holder - An impact resistant tool or tool bit holder has an active end for driving a fastener and a shanking end for securing to a power tool. The active end includes a body with a bore to receive the shank and a pocket to receive a damping mechanism. The shank includes an end to engage the bore in the body, and a pocket to receive the damping mechanism. The shank is received in the bore in the body for limited rotation with respect to the body. A damping mechanism is positioned in the pockets to provide damping between the body and the shank during torque loading. | 12-17-2009 |
20140334526 | TEMPERATURE-SENSITIVE LABEL - A temperature-sensitive label is described. The temperature-sensitive label has a temperature-sensitive system having a filiform shape memory member that has a first end portion having a terminal part fixedly secured to a first contact member, a second end portion having a terminal part restrained by a second contact member in a non-permanent way, and a central curved portion. The central curved portion is in the martensitic phase while the first and second portions are in the austenitic phase at a same environmental temperature above a critical threshold temperature to be monitored by the label such that in case of exposure to a temperature lower than the preset critical threshold temperature the end portions of the filiform shape member perform a phase transition, from austenitic phase to martensitic phase, which causes its irreversible disengagement from the restraint formed by the second contact member. The disengagement condition is optionally visible, for example, through a transparent window and/or monitored by an RFID system. | 11-13-2014 |
20150274078 | SHAPE MEMORY ACTUATOR WITH BISTABLE DRIVEN ELEMENT - A shape memory actuator includes a supporting body, a driven element pivotably mounted on the supporting body and in permanent contact with a driving element whose movement is determined by a SMA actuating member and by at least one resilient return member acting in opposition to the SMA actuating member. The driven element is able to take two stable positions under the action of a bistable moving system connecting the driving element to the driven element such that each toggling between the two stable positions is due to an activation of the SMA actuating member, the latter being arranged together with the bistable moving system. The resilient return member, the driving element and the driven element on a same side of the supporting body are in a substantially co-planar arrangement. | 10-01-2015 |

20160001082 | SELECTIVE BLOCK OF NERVE ACTION POTENTIAL CONDUCTION - A method of selectively blocking a portion of a nerve signal is disclosed. The method may include the step of providing an electrode around a subject's peripheral nerve and connecting the electrode to a stimulator. The stimulator may then energize the electrode with a continuous periodic waveform of at least 50 kHz. This energization of the electrode can result in the selective block of one of: 1) a fast portion of a nerve signal having a conduction velocity greater than 2 m/s, and 2) a slow portion of the nerve signal having a conduction velocity less than 2 m/s. A method according to the present disclosure may allow the non-blocked portion of the nerve signal to be conducted substantially unimpeded. | 01-07-2016 |
