  • Publication number: 20220160491
    Abstract: A breast implant insertion device and method includes a shell having an open and a chamber with an implant arranged in the chamber and a flexible sheath removably connected with the shell. A lubricant is inserted into the shell to coat the implant which is then transferred to the sheath. The sheath is separated from the shell. An opening is formed in a distal end of the sheath and the sheath is squeezed to eject the implant from the sheath for insertion into a patient without any contact of the implant.

  • Patent number: 10329048
    Abstract: A stackable paperboard container is provided and includes a bottom panel, a pair of side panels, a pair of end panels, a pair of side flaps, and a pair of top walls. The pair of side panels extend from the bottom panel and are foldable about a side panel fold line. The pair of end panels extend from the bottom panel and are foldable about an outer end fold line. Each side flap extends from one of a pair of side panels and is foldable about a side flap fold line. Each top wall extends from one of pair of end panels and is foldable about a top wall fold line. Each top wall includes a wall section, a pair of top wall flaps, each top wall flap extending from one side of the wall section and foldable about by a top flap fold line, and a pair of bottom locking tabs, wherein each bottom locking tab extends from each of the pair of top wall flaps along a locking tab fold line and is insertable into a bottom tab slot of the bottom panel.

  • Patent number: 6560104
    Abstract: The invention is an apparatus for cooling a portable computer while it is attached to a docking station. Heat transfer surfaces on simple thermally conductive plates are attached to heat pipes in both the portable computer and the docking station, and the installation of the portable computer into the docking station is arranged to put the two heat transfer surfaces into thermally conductive contact. With the portable computer heat pipe attached to a heat generating component and the docking station heat pipe attached to a heat sink, heat is transferred to the heat sink through the heat transfer surfaces when they are in contact. The heat sink can be fan cooled, and the fan can be arranged to discharge through either the back or side of the docking station. The heat transfer surface of the portable computer also functions as a cooling surface when the portable computer is detached from the docking station.

  • Patent number: 6408935
    Abstract: A heat sink assembly having a base formed through an injection molding process utilizing high conductivity plastic in which both the heat pipe and the cooling fins are over-molded into the base to form an integral assembly. The heat pipe is of known construction that operates to transfer heat from a source to a remote location for dissipation. The cooling fins are preferably of the folded fin array configuration and are embedded into the top surface of the heat sink base. A cooling fan can be mounted to the assembly to draw air across the folded fin array for dissipation of the heat conducted efficiently from the heat pipe into the heat sink, including the folded fin array. The thermal resistance of the heat sink is improved as the interface resistance and the spreading resistance between the heat pipe and the cooling fins are substantially reduced.
