International Classification:

B21D 31/02

US Classification:

72325, 72455, 72479, 241169

Abstract:

A hard disk destruction apparatus is presented having a penetrating point that is manually pressed against a hard disk. The point has an angled tip designed to penetrate the hard disk casing and deform the hard disk platters within. The manual pressing avoids the use of any electrical power or other fuel. In one described embodiment, a mechanical arbor press provides the necessary force. A transparent safety shield surrounds the hard disk during destruction. A restraint prevents upward movement of the hard disk when the point is extracted.

US Classification:

156/155000, 156/272200

Abstract:

A method for manipulating a portion of a medical device comprises the following steps. Provide a medical device having components which are adjacent to each other. a first portion of a component constructed and arranged to at least partially absorb a predetermined wavelength of energy. A second portion of a component being substantially transparent to the predetermined wavelength of energy. Transmit the predetermined wavelength of energy through the second portion and expose the first portion to the energy. The first portion being heated as a result of substantially absorbing the energy. Transmit heat from the first portion to at least one adjacent portion of the components. Melt the first portion and the at least one adjacent portion. Removing the energy from the first portion. A bond being formed between the first portion and the second portion by allowing the portions to cool together.

Abstract:

A method for passivating a biomaterial surface includes exposing the biomaterial surface to therapeutic electrical energy in the presence of blood or plasma. The biomaterial surface may be removably secured within a chamber of a treatment system, which communicates the therapeutic electrical energy to the biomaterial surface while interfacing the biomaterial surface with blood or plasma.

International Classification:

E06B 388
E05D 1100

US Classification:

49303

Abstract:

A protective shield designed for attachment to the door and door jamb for covering a pinch-void area and preventing fingers and other objects from getting pinched when the door closes. The unique geometry of the shield and narrow attachment allows for easy installation on door assemblies with push bars or panic devices. The protective shield is simple in design and thus longer lasting, as well as being aesthetically pleasing. Furthermore, the protective shield allows a relatively large swinging movement of the door, for instance up to 110 degrees, more preferably up to 180 degrees, without any resultant damage to the protective shield, to the door or to the door hardware.
