  • Patent number: 10682261
    Abstract: An instant breathable cast includes an inner sleeve of an absorbent moisture wicking porous innermost layer allowing air and liquid to pass through and a shock absorbing intermediate layer having a plurality of openings therein allowing air and liquid to pass there through; and a protective outer sleeve having a plurality of openings therein allowing air and liquid to pass there through; and method of application thereof.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4996433
    Abstract: A specimen heating holder for side entry transmission electron microscopes is described. The holder permits specimen tilt about two orthogonal axes and has the capability of raising the specimen temperature to .about.1000.degree. C. A novel hinged electrical connection, resistant to fatigue, supplies, supplies power to a heater within the specimen cradle. Special low thermal conductivity cradle bearings minimize the required heater current and promote ease of assembly yet are sufficiently strong to make specimen loading easy.

  • Patent number: 4950901
    Abstract: An improved specimen cooling holder for transmission electron microscopy is described. Low thermal conductivity pins near the specimen and an improved conductor/dewar connection reduce specimen vibration, providing improved image resolution. Multiple heaters facilitate accurate temperature control and bakeout procedures.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 4833330
    Abstract: An improved electron microscope anticontaminator having a conduction rod enclosed within an independent vacuum system and micropositioning capability is described. The micropositioning facility allows the use of unusually small apertures in the cold anticontaminator block with a consequent improvement in efficiency of function. A self-contained contact sensor provides immediate audible warning of contact between a specimen holder and the cold anticontaminator block, permitting the removal of the usual mechanical end-stops for the specimen tilt mechanism and allowing the maximum specimen movement possible at any time. The independent vacuum system in combination with a heater positioned close to the anitcontaminator block allows the microscopist to vent the microscope column without removing the anticontaminator from the microscope.

  • Patent number: 4797261
    Abstract: An electron microscope cryotransfer holder capable of simultaneously transferring several specimens is described. A cryo-shield protects the specimens from warming or frosting during the transfer from the specimen-loading workstation into the microscope.

  • Patent number: 4137511
    Abstract: An electromechanical resonator, in the form of a single planar body, comprises a flexurally vibrating resonating element coupled at its midplane to a pair of torsionally vibrating couplers. Unwanted flexural modes in the resonator are substantially reduced by selecting a length-to-width ratio of the resonating element ranging between 3 and 4. A bandpass filter comprising a plurality of such electromechanical resonators may operate essentially free of spurious responses over a band of at least 200 kHz.
