Title: Method and apparatus for manufacturing knit slide fastener stringer
Inventor: MATSUDA YOSHIO
IPC: A44B19/56
Filed: 1997-07-23
Granted: 2000-10-17
Abstract: A necessary number of knitting needles are slid at a predetermined timing along a multiplicity of parallel sliding grooves of a single needle bed, and a predetermined number of knitting yarn guides take lapping movements to form desired stitches of the knitting yarns while a monofilament bending means between one end of the needle bed and the yarn guides is operated at a predetermined timing for reciprocating along a predetermined number of knitting yarns at an underlapping position.  During this reciprocating movement, a head-portion-holding member is moved between a holding position for holding a head portion of each fastener element from an inside thereof and anon-holding position, in synchronism with the bending of a monofilament.  As a result, individual fastener elements are continuously formed by bending the monofilament, which is at the same time knitted in a warp-knit fastener tape simultaneously with the knitting of the tape, so that it is possible to efficiently manufacture a woven slide fastener stringer stable in shape.

Title: Pulley
Inventor: TANAKA YASUHITO
IPC: B60K25/02
Filed: 1997-07-30
Granted: 2003-06-17
Abstract: A pulley has a hub fixed to a rotating shaft. An outer wheel is disposed on the outer periphery of the hub and around which a belt is suspended, and a unidirectional clutch is interposed between the hub and the outer wheel. A cam face for forming a wedged space of the unidirectional clutch is formed at the inside of the pulley, whereby the unidirectional clutch is switched between a free state and a locked state through the rotational variation of the hub which rotates integrally with the rotating shaft to reduce the transmission of the rotational variation from the hub to the outer wheel. Further, the unidirectional clutch can operate stably without suffering the effect of the rotational centrifugal force.

Title: Methods and devices for collection of soft tissue
Inventor: TRAN MINH
IPC: A61B5/00
Filed: 1998-01-19
Granted: 2004-09-28
Abstract: This invention provides an inventive tissue sampling probe which offers many advantages over probes available in the prior art. Unexpectedly superior results are obtained in connection with the retrieval of intact tissue specimens, because of a unique combination of cutting features, including, in particular, the employment of an electrosurgical cutting element which is extendible to permit ready severance of the distal end of the tissue specimen, without impact to surrounding tissue.  Additionally, the inventive instrument is advantageously designed so that portions of the instrument which contact the patient's tissue or fluid discharge (i.e. blood) during a procedure are modular and disposable, to permit ready replacement of those portions with a new module for an ensuing procedure, without the necessity of cleaning and sterilizing the instrument. The versatility of the invention permits its use in many applications, including, for example, breast biopsies, intraoperative staging, laparoscopic surgery, and lymphadenectomy procedures.

Abstract: A preform (9) made of thermoplastic material and including a body (11) provided with an at least partially longitudinally extending inner partition (10). The preform is used for moulding and particularly blow moulding or stretch-blow moulding a container with a body having opposed portions defining hollow recesses with inwardly-directed convex surfaces, said portions being spaced apart by said inner partition. In a straight cross-sectional view, the body (11) has a non-circular outline with two opposed portions (a, b) separated by a minimum distance (d1) that is smaller than the distances between the other pairs of opposed portions of said outline. The inner partition (10) extends between said two opposed portions (a, b), and said distance (d1) is such that, relative to the periphery of the body (11) of the preform, during moulding, the inner partition (10) is transversely stretched at a rate equal to that at which the body (11) is transversely or peripherally stretched.

Title: Articulating guide arm for medical applications
Inventor: WARDLE JOHN L
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1997-02-25
Granted: 2005-08-16
Abstract: A device (10) is provided for stabilizing and positioning an otherwise hand-held medical instrument (26), such as a biopsy power driver and probe, to ensure the ability to accurately place the probe into the breast and maintain position relative to a particular tissue site from any desired entry point. The device comprises a main arm (20) having a generally vertical portion (18) and a generally horizontal portion (30).      A clamping assembly (14) permits attachment of the apparatus (10) to a stationary object, which is preferably an examination table (11), and includes a locking clamp (22) having a gripping mode and a releasing mode for alternately gripping and releasing the main arm (20), and a lever assembly (23) for actuating the locking clamp (22) between the gripping mode and the releasing mode. A horizontal clamp (32), attached to the generally horizontal portion (30) of the main arm (20), provides support for an articulating arm assembly (16) having a first arm portion, or upper arm (36), and a second arm portion, or forearm (38), wherein the upper arm and forearm are attached together by an elbow joint (40), so that they may be articulated relative to one another about a common axis disposed through the elbow (40). A mounting bracket (44) for securing the biopsy power driver and probe (26) is attached to a distal end of the forearm (38). The elbow joint (40) attaching the upper arm (36) and forearm (38) of the articulating arm assembly (16) comprises a spring loaded counterbalance mechanism (52) which functions to support the weight of the medical instrument (26), thereby giving the instrument a weightless feel during the positioning process, which prevents fatigue on the part of a user and therefore permits more delicate and precise movements of the instrument.
