Title: Vacuum-infused fiberglass-reinforced fenestration framing member and method of manufacture
Inventor: SIRONKO PHILIP T
IPC: B29C70/48
Filed: 2007-08-28
Abstract: A method of making a fenestration framing member includes providing a core (30 or 60) of size and shape corresponding to the desired size and shape of the fenestration framing members. A fiberglass mat (32 or 64) is placed on the core to form a fiberglass-engaged core, and resin is vacuum infused into the mat to form a fenestration framing member (28 or 68) that includes fiberglass-reinforced resin engaging the core. The starting core and the final fenestration framing member preferably are of curved geometry lengthwise of the core and member. The step of vacuum infusing resin into the mat surrounding the core preferably is carried out by placing the fiberglass- engaged core into a vacuum enclosure (48 or 66), preferably a vacuum bag, and connecting the vacuum enclosure to a vacuum source (52) and a resin source (50). In one embodiment of the disclosure, the mat surrounds the core so that the core is part of the fenestration framing member. In another embodiment, the mat is engaged with at least one contoured face of the core and is removed from the core following resin infusion, so that the core is not part of the fenestration framing member in this embodiment.

Abstract: A hand saw that includes a saw blade and a handle assembly having a clamp member movable between a clamped position and a released position. In the clamped position the clamp member exerts a clamping force on a top edge of the saw blade within a slot of the handle assembly to couple the saw blade to the handle assembly and to retain a tang of the saw blade within the slot. In the released position the tang is removable from the slot.  A first interior wall and a second interior wall of the handle assembly that define the slot are flat such that the tang of the saw blade can be removed from the slot without moving the saw blade in a direction normal to a longitudinal. axis of the saw blade when the clamp member is in the released position.

Inventor: ARMSTRONG JOSEPH R
IPC: A61B17/94

Abstract: A constraining sheath for use around an endoprosthesis (e.g., a sent device, with or without a graft covering), which may be a balloon expandable endoprosthesis but more preferably is a self-expanding prosthesis. The endoprosthesis is coaxially enclosed within and substantially covered by the constraining sheath, which is an outer, removable tubular sheath, preferably made of ePTFE. The sheath is preferably corrugated circumferentially along at least a portion of the length of the endoprosthesis. The constraining sheath and endoprosthesis are preferably mounted together as an assembly at the distal end of a delivery means such as a catheter shaft, for delivery of the endoprosthesis to a desired location within a body conduit such as an artery. The constraining sheath is removed by the application of tension to a tensile member such as a tether to cause sequential pulling out of the corrugations followed by release and deployment of the endoprosthesis. The use of a corrugated constraining sheath in comparison to a non-corrugated sheath results in a more smoothly applied tensile force to effect the endoprosthesis release as well as requiring less maximum force.

Abstract: A system, method and user interface for interactive mesh painting of 2D images for iterative high quality 3D modeling is disclosed herein. The system takes a set of calibrated 2D images as input and provides an intuitive user interface based on simple interactive 2D painting operations. The output is a textured, high quality 3D  model that on average is obtained after just a few minutes of interaction. This can be achieved by utilizing only a minimum number of different modes (panning, zooming, painting) when interacting with the 2D images. In an embodiment, a component of the system is a GPU-based multi-view stereo reconstruction scheme, which is implemented by an incremental reconstruction algorithm, that runs in the background during user interaction with a 2D  image so that the user does not notice any significant response delay in generation of the corresponding modeled 3D surface.

IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2010-10-07
Abstract: A progressing cavity pump assembly utilizes a reinforced upper section of the stator rubber helix. The pump stator is located at the end of a string of tubing. The reinforced upper section of the stator rubber helix is strong enough, whether reinforced by mechanical means or by strengthening the rubber matrix chemically, so as not to allow the passage of a stop located above or on the top of the pump rotor. The rotor is lowered on a string of rods until the stop above or on top of the rotor lands onto the reinforced upper section of the stator rubber helix. The rotor is then repositioned away from the stator helix a predetermined distance before pump operation begins with rod string rotation.
