20080254900Axial lash control for a vane-type cam phaser - A camshaft phaser for varying the timing of valves in an internal combustion engine. A rotor includes a plurality of vanes disposed in a stator having a plurality of lobes, forming a plurality of alternating timing advance and timing retard chambers. Pressurized oil is supplied selectively to the chambers to change the phase angle of the camshaft with respect to the crankshaft. The rotor is captured between a stator plate and a rotor cover plate. Axial surfaces of the rotor form wiping surfaces with their respective plates. The rotor is divided equatorially into two interlocking sections, the lower section riding on the stator plate and the upper section riding on the cover plate. An axially slidable labyrintian seal formed at the juncture of the upper and lower sections prevents oil leakage. A lash spring between the upper and lower sections urges the sections into zero-lash with their respective plates.10-16-2008

20110230951DEVICE FOR RAPID REPAIR OF BODY CONDUITS - A self-expanding stent-graft provided in a diametrically compacted state for implantation and retained preferably by a constraining sheath, useful for the temporary or permanent repair of injured, partially or entirely transected body conduits including blood vessels. It may be used under direct visualization to quickly stop or substantially reduce loss of blood from such damaged vessels and to quickly re-establish perfusion distal to the injury site. The device would typically be implanted under emergency room conditions but also be used in field situations by trained medical technicians. After an end of the device is inserted into a blood vessel through the injury access, deployment preferably initiates from the device end in a direction moving toward the middle of the length of the device by directionally releasing the constraining sheath. In a preferred embodiment, the two opposing ends of the device are individually deployable from the compacted, small diameter intended for insertion into a vessel, to the larger diameter at which they fit interferably into a portion of the vessel.09-22-2011
