Title: Method of making metallic and/or ceramic parts of near-net shape
Inventor: NELLES HEINZ
IPC: B22F3/11
Filed: 2003-09-19
Granted: 2011-07-12
Abstract: Disclosed is a modified powder injection molding method which is advantageously used for producing highly porous, near net-shaped parts having complex geometries from initial metallic and/or ceramic powders. The placeholders that are used are non-toxic and can be quickly and almost entirely removed from the parts. Said placeholders make it possible to specifically adjust the pore sizes of the parts within a range of 20 ?m to 2 mm and the porosities thereof within a range of 10 to 85 percent by volume, the distribution of pores being very homogeneous. The duration of the entire process is determined to a considerable degree by the removal of the binder and the placeholders. The total time required from the step of preliminary surface-active binder removal is no more than 14 to 20 hours, even if preliminary thermal binder removal is added (for metal powders and ceramic powders < 20 ?m). Said total time includes removing the placeholder, removing the remaining binder, and sintering as well as heating, cooling, and holding times. The inventive method is therefore inexpensive and can be carried out with moderate effort.

Title: X-ray fluorescence flux composition
Inventor: NORRISH KEITH
IPC: C03C3/068
Filed: 2004-01-02
Granted: 2012-04-24
Abstract: In the x-ray fluorescence analysis of minerals, ores and other materials, chemicals containing lithium and boron are melted together at high temperatures to produce lithium borate compounds which are then cooled and reduced in size to a powder or coarse material. Such material is known as x-ray flux and is usually represented or specified in the final commercial product as ratios of lithium tetraborate to lithium metaborate.   The x-ray flux is melted with materials to be analyzed and cast into discs which are then analyzed by an x-ray fluorescence spectrograph.   In this invention, terbium has been added and melted with the chemicals containing lithium and boron, such as to function as an internal quantitative standard for iron ore analysis when the fluxes are mixed and melted with samples to be analyzed.

Abstract: The present invention, in an exemplary embodiment, provides a stent, which combines many of the excellent characteristics of both silicone and metal stents while eliminating the undesirable ones. In particular, a principal objective in accordance with the present invention is to provide a family of stents where the relative hardness/softness of regions of the stent can differ from other regions of the stent to provide additional patient comfort and resistance to compression forces. Exemplary embodiments provide a stent that is covered in a manner that limits the amount of covering surface area that is in direct contact with the target lumen. In particular, a covered stent is provided that is covered internally such that the outer scaffolding surface of the stent is raised from the outer surface of the covering. To this end, cilia function is only partially limited and mucociliary clearance is not significantly affected. Moreover, the covering itself has anti-adherent properties such that bacteria, fungi or other microbials cannot colonize the cover in particular and the stent generally.
