  • Patent number: 11235402
    Abstract: Saw blades and methods of machining saw blade tooth profiles of saw blades. The saw blades include a blade body and a plurality of teeth defined by the blade body. Each tooth includes a tooth back, a tooth tip, a tooth face, and a tooth gullet. In at least one tooth, a relief region extends toward the tooth back and separates the tooth face from the tooth gullet. The methods include supporting the saw blade with a blade support structure and advancing the saw blade with a blade advance structure. The methods also include dry-machining a finished tooth profile in a working portion of the saw blade in a single pass. The dry-machining includes dry-machining with an end mill by operatively translating the end mill relative to the saw blade and within a plane that is at least substantially perpendicular to an end mill rotational axis of the end mill.

  • Patent number: 9623961
    Abstract: An aircraft assembly including a first part having a pin and a second part having a hook that is movable in an engagement plane to engage the pin to hold the first part in a condition relative to the second part. The pin has a prominent central portion and one or more axially spaced outer portions, the prominent portion is prominent with respect to the outer portions in the engagement plane to cause contact to be made between the hook and the pin within the central portion of the pin, rather than the outer portions of the pin.

  • Patent number: 8757508
    Abstract: A fluid flow control device has an annular fixed body with at least one aperture in an annular surface thereof. When in use, fluid is arranged to flow through the at least one aperture. A thermally responsive annular valve element is mounted concentrically with respect to the fixed body. The configuration of the annular valve element is changeable with temperature so as to control the flow of fluid through the at least one aperture.

  • Patent number: 8061149
    Abstract: Embodiments of a temperature control case and related methods and systems are disclosed. Some embodiments may be particularly useful for portable storage of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical substances and the like. Embodiments are also disclosed which are configured specifically for cooling intravenous fluids to be used for therapeutic hypothermia. Some embodiments may include multiple storage compartments each being configured to store substances at a different temperature so that intravenous fluids can be stored in one compartment and other substances in another compartment. Some embodiments include both internal and external temperature sensors to allow the device to predict internal temperature changes and adjust heating/cooling elements accordingly before the internal temperature is unduly impacted by the ambient temperature, thereby increasing the efficiency and efficacy of the temperature control system.

  • Publication number: 20080319950
    Abstract: A website development system and an optimizing sub-system is capable of instructing a user on measures to customize a website in order to increase visibility of the website to website search engines. The optimizing sub-system analyzes content provided by the user, or otherwise generated for the user, and notifies the user if the system is optimized or needs additional optimization. The website development system may be capable of generating content, such as text and images, which may be optimized for search engine visibility, such as appropriate length of text paragraphs, keyword usage, keyword density, and other optimization protocols. The website development system may provide an interactive system for a user to develop a website that encourages the user to complete the steps in the development process. The website development system is able to organize content in a list of component parts. Each component part is a building block.

  • Publication number: 20080008707
    Abstract: The invention provides peptide antagonists, such as synthetic collagen peptides. The invention provides antibody antagonists, or functional fragments thereof, that preferentially bind to denatured extracellular matrix components. It additionally provides methods for using the antagonists for inhibiting angiogenesis, tumor metastasis, and other tumor developmental processes, including cell migration, cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and tumor growth and for treating angiogenesis-dependent conditions or collagen-dependent conditions. The application also provides for use of the antagonists as a vaccine for inducing an immune response, immune focusing and induction of antibody responses.
