Filed:

Jan 28, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/360714

Inventors:

Aviv Mezer - Stanford CA, US
Robert Dougherty - Menlo Park CA, US
Brian Wandell - Stanford CA, US

Assignee:

The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University - Palo Alto CA

International Classification:

A61B 5/055

US Classification:

600410

Abstract:

The present invention provides methods to detect degenerative processes and abnormalities in soft tissues at high spatial resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio and short scanning times, based on quantitative tissue properties. These methods might provide a useful tool to detect and assess abnormalities in soft tissues and to monitor disease progression.

International Classification:

B65D 4528
B65D 5118

US Classification:

220323

Abstract:

A cargo container door construction is disclosed. The construction utilizes a relatively thin sheet metal door skin having a plurality of formed-in longitudinally extending stiffener grooves, with the door edge parallel to the grooves being formed into stiffener edges comprising a lip with a recess on its inner side. One such edge supports hinges which connect with a surrounding frame of a cargo container. The two remaining edges of each door lying perpendicular to the grooves, are each stiffened by an elongated bar and plate which are welded continuously to the edge of the skin and which form closed end walls on the grooves. The bar and plate establish edges which are similar to the lip and recess formed edges and the sides of the door, so that a uniform peripheral edge results. The lip and recess at each edge seat a gasket for sealing the door or pair of doors with a cargo container frame. Longitudinally-extending locking bars, which engage with the container frame, are mounted near the stiffener grooves to withstand closure stresses.

Appl. No.:

6/616918

Inventors:

Robert W. Dougherty - Media PA

Assignee:

Southco, Inc. - Concordville PA

International Classification:

E05C 304

US Classification:

292202

Abstract:

A cabinet latch is flush mounted on a cabinet door panel by a flanged conical cup which is inserted into a precut hole in the door panel. A push-on retainer clip presses against the inner surface of the door panel and holds the outward flange of the conical cup against the outer surface of the door panel. The head of the latch pawl shaft is received within the cup. In thin door installations, where the thickness of the door is less than the depth of the conical cup, a second cup is mounted on the pawl shaft on the inside of the door panel and a push-on retainer clip presses against an inward flange of the inner cup to hold both cups against the door panel, the outward flange of the outer cup pressing against the outer surface of the door panel and the outer flange of the inner cup pressing against the inner surface of the door panel.
