Patent number: 11922559Abstract: Herein is disclosed a method for ink or coating density compensation by means of applying calculated additional ink/coating to the pre-decorated substrate or film, and by additionally, if needed, apply colour-correction to pre-decoration print files to compensate for higher-than-desired ink density colour shifts. The method includes the steps of providing a flat polymer web having a uniform grid pattern of grid markers printed thereon, and then thermally transforming the web to form a three-dimensional target grid. The target grid is then digitized and the change in the spacing of the grid markers is measured and recorded. The recorded transformed spacing for each grid marker is then used to modify the initial graphics file to compensate for ink-density irregularities resulting from the shrinking and stretching deformations of the substrate during thermal transformation.Type: GrantFiled: February 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Inventors: John Davidson, Neil Compson

Publication number: 20220396213Abstract: The present invention relates to a coupling arrangement for coupling a vehicle recovery ladder to a vehicle. The arrangement includes a bracket for fastening to a roof rack borne by the vehicle. The arrangement further includes one or more ladder fasteners for fastening the ladder to the bracket. The fasteners extend from the bracket and through the ladder. Advantageously, the recovery ladder may be mounted to an external roof rack to avoid dirtying the interior of the vehicle.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 10, 2022Publication date: December 15, 2022Applicant: MAXTRAX AUSTRALIA PTY LTDInventors: Bradley John McCarthy, Neil Davidson, Paul Toohey

Patent number: 8523933Abstract: An endovascular introducer which has a handle assembly, a stent graft deployment device and a stent graft retained on the stent graft deployment device. The handle assembly has a first part and a second part, the second part to be moved relative to the first part. The first part has a fixed portion to be gripped and held by a user and a rotating portion to be rotated. A one way clutch arrangement transfer rotation to co-acting first screw threads so that relative longitudinal motion between the first part and the second part occurs. The deployment device has a pusher assembly and a sheath to cover the stent graft on the pusher assembly. The sheath is connected to the second part so that rotation of the rotating portion causes retraction of the sheath.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Cook Medical Technologies LLCInventors: Samih Nabulsi, Swee Choong Ng, Ben Cramp, Neil Davidson, Craig Mounsey, Cambell Smyth, Chris Townsend

Patent number: 8414636Abstract: A stent graft introducer has stent graft releasably retained onto a deployment catheter and a sheath encloses the stent graft. A handle assembly has a handle, a first slide and a second slide. The first slide retracts within the second slide and the second slide retracts within the handle. An actuation arrangement comprises a first longitudinal gear rack on the first slide, a second longitudinal gear rack on the second slide and a ratchet lever assembly on the handle. Actuation of the ratchet lever assembly causes the second slide to fully retract into the handle at which time the ratchet lever assembly engages the first gear rack through an aperture in the second rack and continued actuation causes retraction of the first slide thereby retracting the sheath from the pusher to expose the stent graft.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2012Date of Patent: April 9, 2013Assignee: Cook Medical Technologies LLCInventors: Samih Nabulsi, Swee Choong Ng, Ben Cramp, Neil Davidson, Craig Mounsey, Cambell Smyth, Chris Townsend
