  • Publication number: 20140028748
    Abstract: A print head module (20) for depositing a substance has an axis and a plurality of print heads (22) provided with nozzles (23). The heads are distributed along the axis to form an elongate compound head having nozzle redundancy by arranging the heads in partially overlapping relation to one another. This allows deposition of the substance from the nozzles in uniform swathes having different angles transverse to the axis.

    Abstract: A method of producing an electrosurgical device is disclosed. Opposing longitudinal clamshells are formed, and each clamshell includes a face having a generally planar major portion. Longitudinal grooves are formed in a clamshell, and an electrical conductor in a disposed in a groove. The faces are aligned to form an electrical passage including the electrical conductor in the groove and a spaced-apart fluid passage with another groove. The clamshells are welded together to form a shaft member such that the electrical passage and the fluid passage are fluid tight along a major longitudinal portion of the shaft. Electrodes are attached to the distal end of the shaft and are in electrical communication with the electrical conductor.

  • Publication number: 20140021665
    Abstract: A vibration and shock isolator may include a resilient member and a compressing member. The resilient member may be connected between a vibrating source and an object. The compressing member may provide the resilient member with a compression displacement in accordance with the vibration characteristics applied to the resilient member from the vibrating source to change stiffness of the resilient member. Thus, a designed natural frequency of the isolator may be simply changed using the shape memory wire to suppress vibration amplification. As a result, the isolator may effectively relieve the shock and the vibration so that a structural stability of a structure may be ensured. Further, the isolator may have a simple structure so that the isolator may have improved reliability and durability.
