Devices, systems and methods are disclosed for repairing soft tissue. The surgical system allows for the creation of tissue repair by grasping, aligning and sewing or fixing tissue. For example, this system may be used for clipping together excessive capsular tissue and reducing the overall capsular volume. The deployment device includes a central grasping mechanism and an outer clip delivery system. The clip embodiments may be single or multi-component (penetration and locking base components) that penetrate tissue layers and deploy or lock to clip the tissue together. An example of the system is used to reduce the joint capsule tissue laxity and reduces the potential for subluxation or dislocation of the joint by either restricting inferior laxity (anterior or posterior) and resolving or eliminating pathologic anterior or posterior translation.

A non-contact dancer mechanism for conveying a web of brittle material includes a guide rail and a variable position web support plenum adjustably positioned on the guide rail. The variable position web support plenum may include an arcuate outer surface with a plurality of fluid vents for emitting a fluid to support the web of brittle material over and spaced apart from the arcuate outer surface thereby preventing mechanical contact and damage to the web of brittle material. A support plenum counterbalance may be mechanically coupled to the variable position web support plenum, wherein the support plenum counterbalance supports at least a portion of the weight of the variable position web support plenum on the guide rail. Apparatuses incorporating the non-contact dancer mechanism and methods for using the non-contact dancer mechanism for handling continuous webs of brittle material are also disclosed.

The invention discloses a production process of rebar for concrete. The production process comprises the following steps of: removing scales on a hot rolling steel wire rod; straightening the hot rolling steel wire rod after forming with die drawing or roller die drawing, or directly straightening the hot rolling steel wire rod without drawing; leading the hot rolling steel wire rod to continuously pass through a heating ring and a cooling water ring by a high-medium frequency induction furnace; heating the rebar to Ac1 above so as to carry out austenization; quenching and cooling the rebar by spraying water; executing drawing temper, and applying tension on the rebar when tempering; and cooling the rebar by spraying water to obtain the rebar for the concrete.

A small form-factor pluggable (SFP) connector structure is disclosed.
