Abstract: A two-part fitting has a first part with an elongated vertical cavity open on a first side, the cavity of a depth and width to accommodate a vertical support rod, with two male threaded posts extending horizontally on a second side of the first part opposite the first side, and a second part having a male threaded screw engaged in a female threaded hole through a portion of the second part. The fitting is characterized in that the first and second parts are adapted to join together enclosing the vertical support rod in a manner that the male threaded screw of the second part impinges on the vertical support rod.

Abstract: A fitting and a method of using that fitting to install electrical boxes to a vertical ceiling support rod. This installation does not require a complex bracket that attaches to a wall or a stud in a wall. Prior installation problems of electrical box dropping and rotation are eliminated with this invention. Installation is simple and cost effective. Special tools are not required.

Abstract: A magnetic plug and method of plugging unwanted knockout holes in electrical containment enclosures. The method requires only one hand and is performed without tools. Everything can be done from outside the electrical containment enclosure. The actual plugging step is completed in a few seconds. One of nine invented plugs is selected to best match the nine standardized hole diameters found in electrical containment enclosures. Selecting the correct plug size results in the best fit and feel since perception matters. Savings in time and money is expected to pay back the cost of a plug.

Abstract: Microstructure manufacturing apparatuses and methods are disclosed herein that enable the production of microstructures in an efficient, cost-effective manner that produces precise, high-quality microstructure products. In the manufacturing process for a microneedle array, for example, a template can be contacted against a surface of a continuous layer of a viscous polymer and separated from the surface to form a plurality of projections. The projections can then be solidified and later cut at a predetermined distance from the surface to form the microstructure.

Abstract: Position reporting and navigating using a bullseye in an integrated flight application includes obtaining bullseye coordinates in a map reference frame. The map reference frame is associated with a map of the integrated flight application. Position reporting and navigating using a bullseye in an integrated flight application further includes determining current location coordinates in the map reference frame, rendering the map with the bullseye and a current location indicator superimposed on the map, using the bullseye coordinates and the current location coordinates in the map reference frame, determining the current location coordinates in a bullseye reference frame, and reporting the current location in the bullseye reference frame.

Abstract: The present invention is related to a system and method to ensure the reproducibility of the position of the feet and lower parts of the legs during Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) studies, and to obtain robust quantitative information through the time. The system includes a device that is inserted into the radiofrequency coils of any MRI equipment. The device includes a foot support section, a leg support section and a base adapted to allow that the abovementioned sections be fixed in it. With this device and method, and through external and internal markers, quantitative studies of the evolution of pathophysiological phenomena that affect the anatomy and physiology of the feet and lower parts of the legs are performed.

Abstract: Methods for improved die bonding. In some embodiments, a method includes applying hot air to a die. The method also includes placing the die on a substrate after applying the hot air to the die. The method further includes waiting a predefined bonding period in order to establish a bond between the die and the substrate.
