20100078416METHOD OF LASER MICRO-MACHINING STAINLESS STEEL WITH HIGH COSMETIC QUALITY - A process to laser micro-machine a metal part with a high cosmetic quality surface, including applying a protective coating layer to at least one surface of the part to physically isolate the surface from air prior to micro-machining the part with a laser, and sacrificing the protective layer to block/consume oxygen in air by carbonization and oxidation due to strong laser irradiation. The protective coating applied to at least one of a front side high quality cosmetic surface and a back side surface of the part. The coating layer being highly transparent to an applied laser beam, having a thickness of between approximately 5 mil and approximately 10 mil, inclusive, and having sufficient adhesion strength to adhere to the part without delaminating during processing. The laser can be selected from a nano-second pulse width laser and a micro-second pulse width laser to process the part.04-01-2010

20110230717Flexible endoscope external joint - An endoscope including a deflection section, an objective head, a deflection section cover and a sleeve. The deflection section comprises a flexible frame. The objective head is connected to a front end of the deflection section. The deflection section cover extends over the deflection section and extends over a portion of the objective head. The sleeve is located on an exterior side of the objective head and an exterior side of the deflection section cover at a joint between the objective head and the deflection section cover. The sleeve compresses the deflection section cover against the objective head. Another compression sleeve can be located on an exterior side of a shaft cover and the deflection section cover at a second joint, wherein the second sleeve compresses the shaft cover and the deflection section cover against a frame of a shaft of the endoscope.09-22-2011

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090169738Method for rapid manufacture of carbon-based tooling for melt infiltration - A method of manufacturing a carbon-based tooling for use as the support during melt infiltration processing of a prepreg preform used, for example, to manufacture turbine engine components, comprising forming an admixture of chopped carbon fibers, graphite powder and a high durometer thermosetting organic resin, applying a potion of the admixture at room temperature onto the surface of an aluminum die, initially curing the admixture as applied to the aluminum die for a period of 3-5 hours at a temperature of between about 100 and 200 degrees C., removing the carbon-based tooling from the aluminum die and carbonizing the tooling by heating the initially cured tooling to a temperature of about 750 degrees C for a period of about 40 hours. The carbon-based tooling according to the invention retains its shape-maintaining function during the high temperature melt infiltration and does not require subsequent machining after formation, thereby providing a rapid, cost-effective method for creating a carbon-based support tool that remains stable at high temperatures.07-02-2009

Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20100276487Method and system for controlling access to an enclosed area - A method and system for controlling access to an enclosed area is described. One illustrative embodiment is an access card reader and controller that is powered via a Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interface. The access card reader and controller may include a plurality of operating modes, including a network mode in which the access card reader and controller relies on an external access control server to authenticate received card identifiers and a standalone mode in which the access card reader and controller authenticates card identifiers independently of the access control server based on information stored locally in the access card reader and controller. In this illustrative embodiment, the access card reader and controller may also include a local tamper detector configured to detect when the access card reader and controller is being tampered with.11-04-2010

20090266377APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR IMPRINTING SHAPED IMAGES ONTO HAIR - An applicator for applying an image onto hair according to one embodiment includes a container holding a colored gel composition that forms the image and an at least partially hollow stencil element securely attached to the container. The stencil element includes a screen that partitions the stencil element into a first portion and a second portion. The first portion is in fluid communication with the interior of the container and contains a first cavity that is preshaped in the form of the image to be applied. The first cavity is formed adjacent a first side of the screen. The second portion is located on an opposite side of the screen and contains a second cavity that is also preshaped in the form of the image to be applied, whereby the shape of the gel composition is preformed in the first cavity and is maintained as the gel composition passes through the screen and fills the second cavity for application onto the hair as the image.10-29-2009
