| 20090324767 | REPAIR TOOL FOR INJECTION MOLDING HOT RUNNER SYSTEM - A tool and method adapted to facilitate access to a hot runner system in an injection molding system wherein the hot runner system includes one or more injection nozzles projecting away from a hot runner surface. The tool includes a first plate structure having one or more nozzle acceptance openings adapted to engage the injection nozzles. A second plate structure is disposed in opposing, spaced apart relation from the first plate structure. One or more elongate spacers are disposed in connective spacing relation between the first plate structure and the second plate structure. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090324771 | Modular injection molding hot runner system - An injection molding hot runner system of modular construction adapted for rapid removal and replacement during required maintenance. The system includes at least one hot runner module adapted for mounting at a support surface. The hot runner module includes one or more injection nozzles adapted for fluid communication with a supply of molten material and an arrangement of acceptance openings adapted to engage mounting projection elements extending away from the support surface | 12-31-2009 |

| 20080263817 | Vacuum Cleaner with Ultraviolet Light Source and Ozone - The present disclosure provides a vacuum cleaner (A) including a nozzle base (C) having a main suction opening ( | 10-30-2008 |
| 20110034838 | ENHANCED BIOMECHANICAL STIMULATION DEVICE - A biomechanical stimulation device is presented. The biomechanical stimulation device comprises a base that supports an adjustable height arm and an easily removable drum connected to the arm. The drum is driven by a motor to provide an elliptical stimulation motion. An anti-rotation device prevents rotation, but allows orbital translation of drum. The drum may connect to the arm at a single attachment point. The arm | 02-10-2011 |

| 20100142869 | Fluid Pumping Capillary Seal For A Fluid Dynamic Bearing - An apparatus and method are provided for a robust and shock resistant fluid dynamic bearing. A fluid sealing system with fluid pumping and capillary features provides increased reliability and performance for small form factor disc drive memory systems. Concerns of motor jog are addressed, jog being the rapid and repeated opening and closing of spaces between relatively rotatable components that can dispel oil from, or draw air into, these spaces. The fluid pumping capillary sealing system includes a fluid pumping groove with a rib portion and a slot portion for pumping fluid. The fluid pumping capillary sealing system also includes a capillary seal. In an aspect, a sweeping rib sweeps fluid toward the bearing. A truncated rib is situated adjacent to the sweeping rib, the truncated rib extending a shorter radial distance as compared to the sweeping rib and forming a plenum region. | 06-10-2010 |

| 20090103839 | Fluid dynamic bearing motor having molded plastic - A fluid dynamic bearing motor and method are described, wherein motor components, including complex shaped motor components, are molded of plastic. The molding ensures form control and dimensional control thereby accomplishing design requirements, and eliminating or reducing component costs and component machining. The mold can be shaped to form various motor geometries, thereby eliminating the need for multiple component assembly and related assembly costs. In an aspect, a plastic integral motor hub is formed by injection molding. Alternatively, a plastic motor hub is affixed to a metal sleeve. In another aspect, fluid containment structures are molded into the motor component, reducing the number of components as compared with machined metal components. In a further aspect, bearing structures such as grooves are molded into the motor component, thereby eliminating processes such as electrochemical machining. In yet a further aspect, a plastic hub faces a thrustplate, reducing expensive sleeve machining. | 04-23-2009 |
