Patent number: 11926073Abstract: A method for producing a sheet molding compound including impregnating a resin composition into carbon fibers. The method is characterized in that the bulkiness Ho of the carbon fibers before an impregnation step is 3 mm or more, the compression ratio Rc(Hc/Ho) of the carbon fibers in the impregnation step is less than 1, the thickness of the sheet molding compound is 10 mm or less, and the content Wc of the carbon fibers is 40% by mass or more. The method for producing a sheet molding compound can produce a sheet molding compound having the excellent impregnation property into carbon fibers and thus can be preferably used for exteriors, structures, and the like of an automotive member, a railroad vehicle member, an aerospace vehicle member, a ship member, a housing equipment member, a sport member, a light vehicle member, a civil engineering and construction member, an OA equipment.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2020Date of Patent: March 12, 2024Assignee: DIC CorporationInventors: Kazutoshi Hitomi, Yasuyuki Muranaka

Publication number: 20220304676Abstract: A device that can pierce and hold tissue and then pass suture through tissue. The device can have a shuttle that can removably attach to a suture and jaws that can be rotatably opened and closed with respect to each other. The device can have a first jaw having a first jaw channel and a first jaw first stop. The shuttle can have a shuttle longitudinal axis and a shuttle first stop. The shuttle first stop can have a shuttle first stop distal end. The shuttle first stop distal end can be deflectable into the first jaw first stop. When the shuttle first stop distal end is in contact with the first jaw first stop, the shuttle can be passively retained in the first jaw. A method for using the device to repeatedly pass the suture through the tissue without removing the suture or device from the target site.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 15, 2022Publication date: September 29, 2022Applicant: Maruho Medical, Inc.Inventors: Andrew J. HUNTINGTON, Brett A. SNYDER, Matthew Byrnes NEWELL, Luke W. CLAUSON, Gary S. FANTON, John F. KRUMME, Scott H. HENEVELD, Bryce PETERSON, Yasuyuki HITOMI

Patent number: 8029513Abstract: A bone-tying cable tightening device with improved easiness of handling of is disclosed. The device comprises a grip portion, a rod-like member extending forward, a knot supporter at the tip, a cable holder to grip and hold the tow arms together, and a sliding block mounted around the rod-like member and connected to a puller and an operation lever to drive the puller. The knot supporter supports two arms that can be hooked away from each other and laterally above the rod-like member, the cable holder is made up of a longitudinal through groove a locking recess which extends, at the end of the through groove, and a backward biased locking member which is provided movably back and forth behind the locking recess on the upper side of the sliding block made so that its forward movement is blocked when it fits in the locking recess.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2006Date of Patent: October 4, 2011Assignee: Alfresa Pharma CorporationInventors: Tomeo Konno, Shinetsu Kudo, Noritoshi Yamaguchi, Yasuyuki Hitomi
