Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090248141Shape Memory Polymer Medical Devices - Medical devices for in vivo medical applications are disclosed. The medical devices are constructed of shape memory polymer (SMP) materials capable of assuming a memory shape at physiological temperatures. These medical devices may be used in surgical procedures and in both vascular and non-vascular applications. These SMP medical devices have a post-implantation memory shape that is substantially identical to or slightly larger than the insertion site to adapt to vessel growth or size changes. SMP medical devices may be formed as stents or occlusion devices (i.e., plugs) having a number of different structural features. The SMP medical devices may be formed from a first monomer and a second cross-linking monomer, wherein the weight percentages of the first and second monomers are selected by performing an iterative function to reach a predetermined glass transition temperature (T10-01-2009

20100217679Ticket trading method - What is disclosed is a ticket trading method for use at sporting events or other live events. The method relates to recovering the value of an admission ticket if the spectator desires to leave the event early. The method is a computer implemented trading method whereby a spectator would communicate with the computerized system by means of a Blackberry®, or other smart phone, text messenger or by means of a kiosk inside the venue that the ticket was available for resale. The computerized system would broadcast a message to other subscribers to the system that the ticket is available for resale. The subscribers could then purchase the ticket at a predetermined price determined by a trading value model.08-26-2010

The plurality of fence zones may be substantially impermeable to inhibit air to pass through. The plurality of blow-off zones may be substantially permeable to permit blown air to pass out of and through said laydown drum. The apparatus may also include a deposition chute for depositing particulate material on a web of material in close proximity to the laydown drum. A shield may also be attached to the deposition chute.04-16-2009
20100193110Method for High-Speed Continuous Application of a Strip Material to a Substrate Along an Application Path on the Substrate - Disclosed are examples of a method for applying a flexible longitudinal strip material, having longitudinal side edges and a width therebetween, along an application path on a substrate, comprising the steps of: continuously drawing the strip material longitudinally from a continuous supply; continuously urging the strip material into a concave shape across its width; and continuously bringing the strip material into contact with the substrate along the application path.08-05-2010
20100193135System and Method for High-Speed Continuous Application of a Strip Material to a Moving Sheet-Like Substrate Material at Laterally Shifting Locations - Disclosed are examples of a system for regulating the longitudinal strain in an elastic longitudinal material being applied to a sheet material in continuous fashion. The system may include a continuous supply of the sheet material; a continuous supply of the elastic longitudinal material; first and second feed rollers having a feed nip therebetween through which the elastic longitudinal material passes longitudinally, and downstream first and second joining rollers having a joining nip therebetween through which the sheet material and the elastic longitudinal material pass. The linear velocity of the circumferential surface of at least one of the first or second feed rollers is controlled relative to the linear velocity of the circumferential surface of at least one of the first or second joining rollers, to regulate longitudinal strain in the elastic longitudinal material.08-05-2010
