Price 202.719.3375 | aprice@wileyrein.com Washington, DC — Today the U.S. Court of International Trade (CIT) released its public decision remanding the negative preliminary determination of the International Trade Commission (ITC) in the antidumping investigation of Certain Standard Steel Fasteners from the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan. The case stemmed from a 2009 petition brought by the Fastener Division of Nucor Corporation alleging that U.S. producers face material injury from dumped imports of Chinese and Taiwanese fasteners. In remanding the case, the CIT handed domestic fastener producers an important victory in their efforts to combat dumped imports. “Reversals of ITC preliminary determinations are very rare, and the reversal in the fasteners case demonstrates that the original determination was deeply flawed,” said Alan Price of Wiley Rein LLP in Washington, DC, counsel to Nucor Fastener Division, a domestic producer of fasteners. “There is no doubt that U.S. fastener companies and their workers are being injured by dumped imports from China and Taiwan.” The court remanded the case back to the ITC for a new determination. The ITC is scheduled to issue that determination by December 7, 2011. The original investigation was initiated with estimated dumping margins of 145 percent for Chinese imports and 74 percent for imports from Taiwan. Nucor Fastener is one of the last remaining producers of standard fasteners in the United States, and many of those still in existence have been forced to dramatically slash production, resulting in significantly decreased operating income, profits, production workers and wages. “If we’re going to have jobs in the United States, then we need to make fasteners and other products here,” said Mr. Price. “Requiring goods to be sold at non-dumped and subsidized prices will bring jobs back to the United States.” * * * 09/21/2011 Shotguns + Clay Target Sports TRIVIA Q + A selected for World and National Championships Mike McGuire, the Publisher and Editor of the American Fastener Journal and other fastener industry publications write sports trivia books as a hobby. To date seven different books have been published and are distributed nationally to major book store chains and Amazon Books on the internet. The National Skeet Shooting Association (NSCA) and the National Sporting Clays Association (NSSA) have chosen his latest book on shotguns and clay target sports as a gift for all shooters in the up-coming World Skeet Championships and the National Sporting Clays Championships to be held during the month of October 2011 in San Antonio, Texas. 2700 copies in total will be given out to shooters from both sports from around the world. “Mike’s trivia books are known to be challenging, but the answers provide excellent information and makes learning fun” states Jim Arnold, world renowned Teaching Pro. Rick Smith, U.S. Olympian in skeet continues, “Mike has brought us a shotgun sports trivia book that is right on target for clay target shooters. An enjoyable read!” Besides writing books, Mike is a contributing writer to Trap Shooting USA and Sporting Clays magazines. Founder of the Arizona International Trap Shooting Club, a Certified Level 1 NSCA Instructor and a USA Shooting Team Certified Shotgun Shooting Instructor. A sporting clay target shooting event to be held at Desert Hills Shooting Club, sponsored by the American Fastener Journal is in the planning stages for the National Industrial Fastener & Mill Supply Expo 2012. The club is 25 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip and just north of Boulder City. If you are interested in shooting, please send your name to Mike’s attention at the AFJ.

To handle the demands of tomorrow’s dynamic baby boomer population, for whom jogging, tennis, and golf have been generational pursuits, some medical device companies are going beyond what’s currently required. For instance, some are specifying self locking fasteners in implants of the upper extremities that go way beyond 100,000 load cycles to withstand up to one-million load cycles without loosening or backing out. “Patients are living longer and more vigorously than past generations, and that’s only going to increase as baby boomers demand more from their muscular-skeletal systems well past traditional ‘retirement age,’” says Tom Norman, Vice President of Engineering at Miami, Fla.-based Skeletal Dynamics, a designer and marketer of innovative orthopedic devices. To keep up with active baby boomers, Skeletal Dynamics recently developed its Align™ Radial Head System, an artificial elbow joint designed to restore the natural function of the native radial head. Previously, prosthetic radial head designs typically followed one of two approaches with significant drawbacks. While a traditional fixed monoblock design offered stability, it could not be aligned to the patient’s anatomy, which tended to wear away natural tissue such as cartilage. A bi-polar radial head was an attempt to align with the patient’s native anatomy, as it was able to rotate in a polyethylene sheath, but would not remain in the correct position because it would not lock. “We aimed to fill a gap in the market by providing the ability to orient the joint to its natural position during surgery, and then locking it in place for the rest of the patient’s life,” says Norman. “We considered traditional fastener thread forms, but lacked confidence that they would stay in place for the up to a million load cycles an active patient could subject them to in their lifetime. Instead, we selected an innovative self locking fastener called Spiralock.” Because repetitive loads, shock and loosening must be decisively handled for implant use, traditional fasteners susceptible to self-loosening rotational movement, stripping, and shearing are not always appropriate. Testing, in fact, has found that the first two threads of traditional fasteners can carry as much as 80% of the load, permitting stripping or shearing, while subsequent male threads "float" within the female threads. Medical device manufacturers such as Skeletal Dynamics are successfully attacking these problems with a variety of new technologies. One of the most interesting solutions is also the simplest—an innovative self locking fastener called Spiralock. By its unique design, it is capable of resisting loosening even under loads and vibrations strong enough to break the fastener. What makes Spiralock unique is its 30º “wedge” ramp cut at the root of the female thread (while traditional fasteners use a 60º thread). Under clamp load, the crests of the threads on any standard male bolt are drawn tightly against the wedge ramp. This not only eliminates sideways motion that causes vibrational loosening but also distributes the threaded joint’s load throughout all engaged threads, a claim supported by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology research study. The load percentage on the first engaged thread is significantly lower than traditional thread forms, which further reduces possible bolt failure and improves product performance. In the medical field, because of their vibration-resistant, reliable self locking features, the innovative fasteners hold various components together in implants, artificial limbs, heart pumps and MRI machines, and are also being considered for cardiovascular devices such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators, as well as for dental and orthopedic surgical instruments and CT scanning applications. When Skeletal Dynamics’ Align™ Radial Head System is surgically installed in a patient, proprietary instrumentation allows alignment of the radial head as it would be in the patient’s native anatomy. Once the surgeon orients the device in this natural position, the surgeon tightens the set screw in a Spiralock milled interrupted thread made of cobalt chrome, against a long titanium stem designed for 3-point fixation, to lock the device in the correct position. “While fasteners used in upper extremities are frequently tested to 100,000 cycles, third-party testing showed that the Spiralock self locking fastener used on the Align™ Radial Head successfully survived load and fatigue testing to one-million cycles without loosening or backing out,” says Norman. “That gave us the design confidence we needed, and helped with our FDA approval.” Early in the design process, when Skeletal Dynamics considered the manufacturability of the self locking thread, Spiralock Corp. stepped forward to manufacture prototype tooling for them, then customized tools to cut the thread form, and finally worked closely with their contract manufacturer to scale up production. “We were happily surprised at the cost of the self locking fastener, and are considering its use in other medical applications,” says Norman. “Going right to the Spiralock self locking fasteners, to address fastener fatigue and loosening, potentially saved us millions of dollars and years of development time,” concludes Norman. “For fastening challenges in the medical industry, like designing for active baby boomers and rising longevity, the sooner they’re considered the better.” Spiralock, whose self locking fasteners are used for design challenges in a wide range of industries including medical, aerospace/military, automotive, heavy truck, food processing, agriculture, construction, rail, and oil drilling is part of Emhart Teknologies, known for total vehicle innovation in the auto industry. The self locking Spiralock fasteners have been used in extreme fastening applications with virtually no chance of recall: from the main engines of NASA’s Space Shuttle; to the Saturn Cassini orbiter and Titan Huygens probe; to medical implants, artificial limbs, and heart pumps.

While a traditional fixed monoblock design offered stability, it could not be aligned to the patient’s anatomy, which tended to wear away natural tissue such as cartilage. A bi-polar radial head was an attempt to align with the patient’s native anatomy, as it was able to rotate in a polyethylene sheath, but would not remain in the correct position because it would not lock. “We aimed to fill a gap in the market by providing the ability to orient the joint to its natural position during surgery, and then locking it in place for the rest of the patient’s life,” says Norman. “We considered traditional fastener thread forms, but lacked confidence that they would stay in place for the up to a million load cycles an active patient could subject them to in their lifetime. Instead, we selected an innovative self locking fastener called Spiralock.” Because repetitive loads, shock and loosening must be decisively handled for implant use, traditional fasteners susceptible to self-loosening rotational movement, stripping, and shearing are not always appropriate. Testing, in fact, has found that the first two threads of traditional fasteners can carry as much as 80% of the load, permitting stripping or shearing, while subsequent male threads "float" within the female threads. Medical device manufacturers such as Skeletal Dynamics are successfully attacking these problems with a variety of new technologies. One of the most interesting solutions is also the simplest—an innovative self locking fastener called Spiralock. By its unique design, it is capable of resisting loosening even under loads and vibrations strong enough to break the fastener. What makes Spiralock unique is its 30º “wedge” ramp cut at the root of the female thread (while traditional fasteners use a 60º thread). Under clamp load, the crests of the threads on any standard male bolt are drawn tightly against the wedge ramp. This not only eliminates sideways motion that causes vibrational loosening but also distributes the threaded joint’s load throughout all engaged threads, a claim supported by a Massachusetts Institute of Technology research study. The load percentage on the first engaged thread is significantly lower than traditional thread forms, which further reduces possible bolt failure and improves product performance. In the medical field, because of their vibration-resistant, reliable self locking features, the innovative fasteners hold various components together in implants, artificial limbs, heart pumps and MRI machines, and are also being considered for cardiovascular devices such as pacemakers and implantable defibrillators, as well as for dental and orthopedic surgical instruments and CT scanning applications. When Skeletal Dynamics’ Align™ Radial Head System is surgically installed in a patient, proprietary instrumentation allows alignment of the radial head as it would be in the patient’s native anatomy. Once the surgeon orients the device in this natural position, the surgeon tightens the set screw in a Spiralock milled interrupted thread made of cobalt chrome, against a long titanium stem designed for 3-point fixation, to lock the device in the correct position. “While fasteners used in upper extremities are frequently tested to 100,000 cycles, third-party testing showed that the Spiralock self locking fastener used on the Align™ Radial Head successfully survived load and fatigue testing to one-million cycles without loosening or backing out,” says Norman. “That gave us the design confidence we needed, and helped with our FDA approval.” Early in the design process, when Skeletal Dynamics considered the manufacturability of the self locking thread, Spiralock Corp. stepped forward to manufacture prototype tooling for them, then customized tools to cut the thread form, and finally worked closely with their contract manufacturer to scale up production. “We were happily surprised at the cost of the self locking fastener, and are considering its use in other medical applications,” says Norman. “Going right to the Spiralock self locking fasteners, to address fastener fatigue and loosening, potentially saved us millions of dollars and years of development time,” concludes Norman. “For fastening challenges in the medical industry, like designing for active baby boomers and rising longevity, the sooner they’re considered the better.” Spiralock, whose self locking fasteners are used for design challenges in a wide range of industries including medical, aerospace/military, automotive, heavy truck, food processing, agriculture, construction, rail, and oil drilling is part of Emhart Teknologies, known for total vehicle innovation in the auto industry. The self locking Spiralock fasteners have been used in extreme fastening applications with virtually no chance of recall: from the main engines of NASA’s Space Shuttle; to the Saturn Cassini orbiter and Titan Huygens probe; to medical implants, artificial limbs, and heart pumps.

To handle the demands of tomorrow’s dynamic baby boomer population, for whom jogging, tennis, and golf have been generational pursuits, some medical device companies are going beyond what’s currently required. For instance, some are specifying self locking fasteners in implants of the upper extremities that go way beyond 100,000 load cycles to withstand up to one-million load cycles without loosening or backing out. “Patients are living longer and more vigorously than past generations, and that’s only going to increase as baby boomers demand more from their muscular-skeletal systems well past traditional ‘retirement age,’” says Tom Norman, Vice President of Engineering at Miami, Fla.-based Skeletal Dynamics, a designer and marketer of innovative orthopedic devices. To keep up with active baby boomers, Skeletal Dynamics recently developed its Align™ Radial Head System, an artificial elbow joint designed to restore the natural function of the native radial head. Previously, prosthetic radial head designs typically followed one of two approaches with significant drawbacks.

Press release date: March 22, 2011 Taptite 2000® generation of thread forming screws combines efficiency advantages with process reliability. A total cost saving of up to 88% can be achieved in threaded fastener assembly. The Taptite 2000® generation of thread forming screws from Arnold Umformtechnik GmbH & Co. KB makes a fundamental contribution to cost reduction in threaded fastener systems. Based on experience, costs savings of up to 88% can be achieved in threaded fastener assembly. According to the results of various studies, 85% of the total cost of a conventional threaded fastener joint arises from secondary costs such as drilling, thread cutting, inspection, tools and workstation cleaning. The actual fastening components account for only 15% of the total cost. Here the thread forming screws of the Taptite 2000® generation offer decisive efficiency advantages, since costly assembly processes can be eliminated when these fastening components are used. In particular, non-cutting formation of the nut thread with Taptite® products makes them true 'cost killers'. Furthermore, downstream operations such as cleaning and inspection are no longer necessary. Drilling operations can also be eliminated with pre-cast core holes, thus allowing total cost savings of up to 88% to be achieved in threaded fastener assembly. Taptite 2000® users also benefit of the improved mechanical properties of the assembled joint. The trilobular shank form and radius-profile thread flanks result in around 50% lower thread forming torque than with conventional thread forming screws, which translates into higher clamping force together with a smaller statistical spread of clamping forces.

At least some of the proposals could lead to higher anti-dumping or countervailing duties on goods from the Asian manufacturing giant, the most frequent target of U.S. complaints about unfair trade in recent years. But the plan seeks to strengthen the effectiveness of U.S. trade protection measures "across a range of areas," a senior Commerce Department official told Reuters. With President Barack Obama's popularity falling and Democrats in danger of losing control of Congress in November elections, the party has been pushing a "Make it in America" agenda aimed at creating U.S. manufacturing jobs. "Today's announcement is another demonstration of our continuing efforts to sharpen our trade enforcement tools," U.S. Commerce Secretary Gary Locke said in a statement. It outlined 14 proposals that increase penalties or toughen requirements on foreign companies that sell goods the United States deems unfairly priced or subsidized. Although less than 3 percent of imports into the United States are hit with anti-dumping or countervailing duties, the trade laws can be an important source of protection for sectors such as steel, tires, paper and other industrial goods. In a separate move on Thursday, the U.S. International Trade Commission voted to approve hefty anti-dumping and countervailing duties levied by the Commerce Department on magnesia carbon bricks from China and Mexico. The bricks are used in furnaces for the production of iron and steel. INVESTIGATIONS JUMP The number of U.S. investigations jumped to 34 in 2009, an increase of 79 percent from 2008. New cases have tapered off this year, although important decisions against China are pending in probes involving paper and aluminum products. The department will issue specific proposals in coming months for public comment, but says it does not need legislation to make any of the changes. One trade attorney, who asked not to be identified, said at first glance all the initiatives appeared aimed at creating "higher, more certain and longer-lasting duties." Conspicuously missing was a decision on whether to investigate China's exchange rate practices as an unfair foreign subsidy, a diplomatically explosive issue before the department in the paper and aluminum cases. Many lawmakers, manufacturers and economists say China's currency is undervalued, giving it an unfair price advantage in global markets. The department has been mulling for months if it has a strong legal footing to investigate the charge. China accounted for 19 percent of U.S. goods imports in 2009 for a total of $296.4 billion. Next on the list was Canada with $224.9 billion, followed by Mexico, Japan, Germany, Britain, South Korea, France, Taiwan and Venezuela. Department officials said tightening the anti-dumping and countervailing duties rules would help meet Obama's goal of doubling U.S. exports in five years by putting domestic firms that receive protection in a stronger position to compete. But Lewis Leibowitz, a trade attorney with Hogan Lovells, said that connection is unclear since higher import duties could boost costs for many U.S. manufacturers. PROPOSALS TARGET CHINA Department officials spotlighted three proposals they believed would have the most impact, and said many of the ideas are intended to tighten procedures for investigations involving "non-market economies" like China. One would require importers to pay a cash deposit to cover preliminary duties once they are announced. Currently, importers have the option of posting bonds at a fraction of their liability for the five or six months until final duties are set. That has led to problems collecting the full amount the government is owed, department officials said. "We think this is a way to better ensure that companies that ... may ultimately be liable for a dumping duty actually have the wherewithal to pay," a department official said. A second proposed change would allow the department to subtract Chinese export taxes when calculating the size of anti-dumping or countervailing duties. That is common practice now for unfairly traded goods from "market economies" like Japan and countries in Europe. But it has not been the case for non-market economies like China on the theory the taxes are too hard to measure. China will "undoubtedly" be upset by the proposal because it could lead to higher duties on its goods, the Commerce Department official said. In a similar vein, the department also wants to make it harder for exporters in non-market economies to win more favorable "separate rates" by insisting on stronger proof the companies are independent of government control. A third major proposal would stop the practice of removing individual foreign companies from anti-dumping orders if they can show during three annual administrative reviews they haven't dumped products in the United States. Such companies could still receive a zero duty rate under the new proposal. But they would remain subject to the order, keeping them on notice their duty could be increased if Commerce finds new evidence of unfair trading. Department officials also want to reduce the potential for fraud by toughening "certification requirements" and making attorneys and other company representatives more accountable for the accuracy of information they submit. China, the European Union and others are expected to closely scrutinize the proposals, though U.S. officials insist they are within the bounds of World Trade Organization rules and in some cases match what others already do.
