Patent CA-2553393-C (CA)
Inventor: WOOD DOUGLAS BRUCE
IPC: B29C70/20
Filed: 1996-10-03
Granted: 2009-12-29
Abstract: A method and apparatus for accurately applying a cord (12) to a rotatable mandrel (14) utilizes control of cord length, rather than cord tension, as the control parameter. The apparatus includes a mandrel (14) with an inflatable diaphragm (54) mounted on an outer surface of the mandrel (14). The diaphragm (54) is selectively inflatable via a control valve (58) and source of pressurized fluid for dynamically adjusting a circumference of the mandrel (14) in response to a control input. The control input reads a tension in the cord (12) being wound. The cord (12) is positively fed to the mandrel (14) according to a defined algorithm based on the mandrel's shape, circumference and rotational speed, rather than by demand feed of the cord (12). The apparatus includes a positive feed control capstan (18) which is electronically geared. The apparatus further includes a cord-laying wheel (30) which isolates radially directed forces from circumferentially-directed forces. A second embodiment of the invention includes the belt being rotated on first and second pulleys (14A, 14B) while the cord (12) is applied. A center distance between the first and second pulleys (14A, 14B) is selectively adjustable to control cord tension in the cord (12).

Abstract: A wireless communication method and apparatus for reporting traffic volume measurement (TVM) information used to support enhanced uplink (EU) data transmissions between a wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU), i.e., a mobile station, and a Node-B. After storing EU data in a buffer, the WTRU sends an initial TVM information request message to the Node-B indicating that the WTRU  has EU data available to send to the Node-B. In response, the Node-B schedules one or more allowed EU data transmissions. The WTRU transmits at least a portion of the stored EU data to the Node-B via the allowed EU data transmissions. In one embodiment, the initial TVM information request message is sent by the WTRU only after the quantity of EU data stored in the buffer of the WTRU exceeds an established threshold. Otherwise, all of the stored EU  data is transferred to the Node-B without requiring scheduling by the Node-B.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are novel platinum-based analogs with a single substituted imine ligand: R7RC=NR8, wherein the R7RC=NR8 functional group is covalently bonded to the platinum through nitrogen. The analogs also have nitrogen donor ligands capable of forming hydrogen bonds with the bases in DNA or RNA, and one or more leaving groups which can be displaced by water, hydroxide ions or other nucleophiles, which is thought to form active species in vivo, and then, form cross-linked complexes between nucleic acid strands, principally between purines in DNA (or RNA), i.e., at the Guanine or Adenine bases, thereof. These platinum analogs may also be more easily transported into tumor cells, due to their increased lipophilicity and are likely to be useful as anti-neoplastic agents, and in modulating or interfering with the synthesis or replication or transcription of DNA or translation or function of RNA in vitro or in vivo, as they are potentially capable of forming a platinum coordinate complex with a intact or nascent DNA or RNA and thereby interfering with cellular synthesis, transcription or replication of nucleic acid polynucleotides.

Abstract: A void former particularly for use with a lifting anchor cast into a concrete component is of two piece construction comprising a flexible element and a separate body which is substantially rigid. The flexible element is engageable with the head of the lifting anchor and is maintained in position by the rigid body which also acts to maintain the shape of the void during casting. After casting the rigid body is removed from the flexible element to thereby permit the flexible element to be disengaged from the lifting anchor by manipulation.  The void former is thereby removable after casting without destruction of the void former and is thereby suitable for repeated use.

Abstract: The apparatus and method for preparing a polymeric structure from which a number of medical devices may be constructed is described. The structures are preferably formed from bioabsorbable materials using low temperature fabrication processes, whereby drugs or other bio-active agents are incorporated into or onto the device and degradation of the drugs or other agents during processing is minimized. The method includes preparing a solution of at least one bioabsorbable polymer and a solvent. The solution is then deposited onto a stage and converted into a structure. The solvent is evaporated from the structure. The dried solution forms a structure that is removed from the stage and further dried before being stored in an inert environment. Thereafter, a medical device such as a stent may be constructed from the structure.
