| 20080207341 | FASTENER MANUFACTURING APPARATUS AND METHOD - An assembly line for continuously manufacturing fasteners from a rod with a groove for receiving a wire for retaining the fasteners in a strip includes a receiver for receiving the rod. A die press is arranged to receive the rod from the receiver and includes a piercing member for piercing an aperture in each fastener and a cutting member for cutting each fastener from the rod. A tapping member provides ribs to an inner wall of the aperture formed in the fastener by the piercing member. An inspector inspects the internal rib formed into the inner wall of the aperture disposed in the fastener verifying exactness of the aperture and the rib. A wire inserter inserts the wire into the groove forming a strip of connected fasteners. The inserter receives the fasteners sequentially from the inspector after verification of the exactness of the aperture disposed in each fastener. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20080232923 | SELF-ATTACHING NUT - A self-attaching nut having a central pilot projecting from an end face of the body portion, an annular groove surrounding the pilot and an annular panel support face surrounding the groove, wherein the outer side wall includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced notches, each having an outer wall which extends from the bottom wall of the annular groove to the panel support face and the bottom wall of the groove includes a plurality of circumferentially spaced radial ribs integral with either the outer or inner side walls of the annular groove having a radial end spaced from the opposed side wall and a top face inclined toward the bottom wall of the annular groove providing improved torque resistance and push-off strength. Alternating circumferentially overlapping radial ribs integral with the pilot and the outer groove wall and ribs which extend below the bottom wall of the groove are also disclosed. | 09-25-2008 |
| 20100316440 | STAMPED LINK FOR SUPPORTING AN ENGINE - A torque arm for securing the position of a power train relative to a motor vehicle includes a first mount and a second mount. The first mount and the second mount are spaced by a body portion. The first mount is formed by a continuous ring defining a first central opening and is integral with the body portion. The second mount is formed by a loop defining a second central opening and the loop extends from the body portion at an opposite end of the body portion from the continuous ring. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20100167401 | STACKED, PATTERNED BIOMATERIALS AND/OR TISSUE ENGINEERING SCAFFOLDS - Stacked, lamellar constructs comprised of, synthetic or natural, polymeric membrane structures which are brought together to form 3D scaffolds for biomaterial and guided tissue engineering applications have been developed. Each layer can have 2D or 3D nano and micro topographical features similar to or different than each other which can be arranged during the construction of each lamellae and their orientation can be adjusted during construction phase of the 3D structure. Such a construct was utilized in the development of an artificial cornea with human primary cells, in which patterned surface of the components of the lamellar structure mimics the oriented collagen structure inherent in natural cornea. Similar exploitation of the 3D patterned structure can be made for tissues where aligned ECM architecture is crucial, such as ligaments, bone, tendon, skin. | 07-01-2010 |
