Abstract: A blind rivet setting device which automatically feeds blind rivets into a rivet table (62), then sets the rivet (R) by pulling and detaching the mandrel (M). The rivet feed mechanism includes a thin strip or ribbon (150) of flexible material capable of holding the mandrel tips pierce/therethrough and evenly spaced apart. The strip (150) is drawn from a magazine (152a) for holding a quantity of blind rivets so connected to the strip (150) through a transverse feed slot (116) formed through the rivet table (62) generally orthogonal to the longitudinal axis of the device (10). A spring biased retracting device (156) continuously pulls the strip (150) through the feed slot (116) so that the next rivet in succession facing the rivet table (62) is automatically drawn into axial alignment within the rivet table (62) ready for positioning and setting into a work surface (W). A worn gear (132) with eccentric output (136) drives a connecting rod (138) for pulling and fracturing each mandrel (M) from the rivet body.

Abstract: A retention bolster (10) for a percutaneous catheter is disclosed having a convexly curved exterior surface (18) which contacts the epidermal surface of a patient. The retention bolster slides over a catheter until contacting the skin of the patient at the catheter exit site. When secured in place, the retention bolster rocks along contacting portions between its convexly curved surface and the epidermal surface of the patient in response to movement of the catheter about the exit site, thereby alleviating the added pressure that would otherwise be applied by this movement. Upon the release of lateral pressure against the catheter device, the bolster returns to its original upright position. In a second disclosed embodiment, a flange (112) is provided which extends from the main body of the bolster which defines a bore (116) that is also sized for slidably receiving and supporting the catheter, and which provides for angled attachment of the catheter relative to its exit site. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A rigid three-dimensional preform is made by moving a plurality of webs of fibrous reinforcement material superposed and coplanar to a cutter, the webs being coated with an electromagnetic energy-curable binder and pressed together. Prior to cutting a blank in a two-dimensional development of the three-dimensional preform from the webs, the webs are tacked together at spaced local zones by locally curing the binder at those zones by locally applying the appropriate electromagnetic radiation (microwave, ultraviolet, electron) so that the webs travel as one to the cutter. After cutting of the blank, the blank is loaded into a mold to replicate the three-dimensional shape of the preform and the remainder of the binder is cured in the mold by the application of the appropriate electromagnetic radiation. An auxiliary member may be attached to the preform by applying an electromagnetic energy-curable binder to at least one location on the preform, moving the auxiliary member into a desired position and intimate contact with the binder-coated location and the binder cured at that location by the application of the appropriate electromagnetic radiation. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A modulator (10) for modulating incident rays of light, the modulator having several equally spaced beam elements (18), each having a light reflective planar surface. The beam elements are arranged and supported (12) parallel to each other, with their reflective surfaces parallel. During operation, the elements remain parallel, but the modulator moves the beams so that the perpendicular spacing of their reflective surfaces changes between two configurations. In both configurations, the spacing equals m/4 times the wavelength of incident light. In the first configuration, m equals an even whole number or zero, and the modulator acts to reflect the incident rays of light as a plane mirror. In the second configuration, m equals an odd number and the modulator diffracts the incident rays as they are reflected.

Abstract: An improved method is described for repairing Co-base superalloy gas turbine engine components by applying a mixture of base alloy powder and base alloy powder with a melting point depressant to the surface of the component and heating at 2250 DEG -2300 DEG  F. to diffuse the melting point depressant isothermally into the base alloy. A protective coating is then applied, during which a heating cycle which ages the base material is used. The resultant component has high temperature creep properties which are significantly better than achieved using the prior art process. The same temperature cycle is also useful in the initial heat treatment of Co-base superalloys, and can also be used for rejuvenation of components which have experienced extensive exposure to engine operating conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed is an injection port assembly for subcutaneous delivery of medication. A single moulded body (11) has a soft flexible cannula (14) extending downwardly from a generally flat bottom surface and a self-sealing septum (22) mounted at the centre of a top surface which is generally of a concave shape sloping downward towards its outer perimeter at which point the single body is very thin. The single body (11) also has a tubular extension (12) which is directed outward parallel to the skin's surface. A metal needle (8) which penetrates through the septum and through the lumen of the soft cannula is used for inserting the cannula through the skin. The distal section of the needle has an external shoulder which engages an internal shoulder in the cannula so that the cannula will be in tension during insertion thereby preventing an accordion-like compressional failure of the cannula. A quick-release connector on the proximal end of the tubular extension or mounted directly on the injection port assembly allows the tubing connecting the injection port assembly to a portable medication pump to be disconnected when the patient showers or performs some similar activity. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A tool for manufacturing crown wheels by means of a machining hobbing process, which consists of a disc (12) which can rotate about its axis and on the circumference of which machining elements are disposed whose cutting edges lie in the surface of a profile which mainly extends over the circumference of the disc as helical ribs. In each cross-sectional plane perpendicular to the screw direction of the ribs, the prodile has the shape of a number of profile teeth (21b-d) situated next to one another. The profile shape is based on the base geometry of a pinion which is characteristic for the crown wheel to be manufactured and has involute toothing (23a-e). The profile has such a shape that a part thereof lies outside the surface of revolution which is formed by rotation of the addendum circle (26) of the characteristic pinion about the rotational axis of the tool. As a result, the tool has machining elements or machining element parts whose cutting edges lie in the surface of said portion of the profile and can serve for performing a premachining operation when manufacturing a crown wheel.
