Abstract: The invention is directed to a biodegradable implant precursor having a two-part structure made of an outer sac and a liquid content. The implant precursor is composed of a biodegradable, water-coagulable thermoplastic polymer and a water-miscible organic solvent. When administered to an implant site in an animal, the implant precursor will solidify in situ to a solid, microporous matrix by dissipation of the organic solvent to surrounding tissue fluids and coagulation of the polymer. The invention also includes methods of making the implant precursor, an apparatus for forming the precursor, and a kit containing the apparatus. Also provided are methods of using the implant precursor for treating a tissue defect in an animal, for example, for enhancing cell growth and tissue regeneration, wound and organ repair, nerve regeneration, soft and hard tissue regeneration, and the like, for delivery of biologically-active substances to tissue or organs, and other like therapies. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Presbyopia and hyperopia are treated by a method which increases the amplitude of accommodation by increasing the effective working distance of the ciliary muscle in the presbyopic eye. The effective working distance of the ciliary muscle can be increased by expanding the sclera in the region of the ciliary body. This expansion may be accomplished by suturing to the sclera in the region of the ciliary body a relatively rigid band having a diameter slightly greater than that of the sclera in that region. The scleral expansion band (102) comprises anterior (108) and posterior (106) rims and a web (104) extending between the rims, the anterior rim having a smaller diameter than the posterior rim. The band may be provided with one or more holes (110) to assist in suturing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for displaying an image (AB) of a traffic situation of a rail track system on a display (12) of a pixel-oriented visual display unit (5) of a rail traffic control system (10), said display unit being controlled by means of a control device. According to the inventive method, the traffic situation is represented in such a manner that a viewer of the display (12) can recognize the traffic situation and can take control measures for influencing it. The aim of the invention is to provide a method which can be carried out at low costs while having a high safety standard. To this end, a visual display unit (5) is used as the visual display unit and has an internal matrix-oriented display memory (15) in which the image data required for the representation of the image (AB) are stored. The image is represented on the display against an image background whose brightness or color is adjusted according to the presence or absence of a control signal. Said control signal is automatically produced by means of the control device in an interval between the input of a user-end adjusting signal and the input of a user-end acknowledge signal.

Abstract: The present invention provides a release material formed by irradiating a release material precursor having a shear storage modulus of about 1x10<2> to about 3x10<6> Pa at 20  DEG C and a frequency of 1 Hz, wherein the release material has a contact angle of 15 DEG  or more, measured using a mixed solution of methanol and water (volume ratio: 90/10) having a wet tension of 25.4 mN/m. The release material of the present invention has improved anchoring to certain substrates, ensuring relatively low release strength from certain pressure-sensitive adhesives, particularly even after the exposure to a high temperature. Thus, the release materials are capable of allowing the pressure-sensitive adhesive to maintain stable residual adhesion strength.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'administration d'agent thérapeutique implantable ou insérable dont au moins une partie est enduite d'un revêtement empêchant la libération sensible d'un agent thérapeutique approximativement égal au pH physiologique ou inférieur à celui-ci, et permettant la libération sensible d'un agent thérapeutique approximativement égal au pH physiologique ou supérieur à celui-ci. Par ailleurs, cette invention concerne des revêtements destinés au dispositif d'administration d'agent thérapeutique implantable ou insérable. De préférence, ces revêtements sont des polymères obtenus pour contenir des fractions chargées cationiquement à un pH inférieur à leurs valeurs pKa. Par conséquent, ils peuvent attirer des agents thérapeutiques chargés négativement à des valeurs pH inférieures à leurs valeurs pKa, et deviennent essentiellement non chargés à des valeurs supérieures à leurs valeurs pKa, ce qui leur permet de libérer les agents thérapeutiques chargés négativement à de telles valeurs pH, qui sont approximativement égales au pH physiologique. Par ailleurs, l'invention concerne des méthodes d'obtention d'un polymère devant contenir de telles fractions, ainsi que des méthodes d'application d'un revêtement à base dudit polymère sur au moins une partie de la surface d'un dispositif d'administration d'agent thérapeutique implantable ou insérable.

Abstract: A pressurized container includes a vessel defining a chamber therein. A housing that is connected to the vessel defines an outlet that is fluidly separated from the chamber by a closure member. A moveable member may be seated within and form a seal with the housing and abut the closure member. Activation of an initiator propels the moveable member through the closure member, thereby fluidly connecting the chamber and the outlet. The pressurized container might include an obstruction partially blocking an outlet path and another initiator that breaks the obstruction when activated, thereby further opening the outlet path. The pressurized container might include a main path fluidly connected to the outlet, a first secondary path that connects the main path to the chamber, and a second secondary path that also connects the main path to the chamber. If the pressurized container includes two secondary paths, a first closure member can fluidly separate the outlet from the chamber of the vessel along the first secondary path, and a second closure member can fluidly separate the outlet from the chamber of the vessel along the second secondary path. Also, the chamber might include a first portion and a second portion, wherein an isolator member substantially fluidly separates the first portion and the second portion.
