Filed: 2003-11-03
Granted: 2011-06-14
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to kits comprising a body compress and a releasably attachable thermic device. In particular, the present invention is directed to kits comprising: (a) one or more body compresses; and (b) one or more thermic devices each comprising a plurality of thermic cells; and(c) means for releasably attaching one or more thermic devices to one of the body compresses.Exemplary body compresses include knee wraps, neck wraps, back wraps, and menstrual pain relief compresses. The releasably attachable thermic devices are preferably disposable.

Abstract: The construction material on a plant basis PB (preferably miscantus) contains a binder and a mineralizer composed of a defined mixture M2 of calcium carbonate CaCO3 and magnesium carbonate MgCO3 that is prepared in an application-oriented manner, thereby resulting in a substantial improvement of its chemical, physical, and mechanical properties. The weight proportions of the components constituting said mixture M2 are comprised between approx. 60 % and approx.  95 %, preferably between 2/3 and 9/10, for the CaCO3, and between approx. 5 % and approx. 40 %, preferably between 1/10 and 1/3, for the MgCO3. The method for producing said construction material is rationalized by previously admixing the mineralizer to the binder, preferably Portland cement of strength class 52.5, directly at the binder plant according to determined specifications to obtain a mixture M1. The weight proportions of the components constituting the mixture M1 are comprised between approx. 50 % and approx.  90 %, preferably between 6/10 and 4/5, for the binder, and between approx. 10 % and approx. 50 %, preferably between 1/5 and 4/10, for the mineralizer. In order to improve the solidification process, a fungicidal preparation is added to the mixing water. A universal construction material allowing innumerable applications can be produced from the aggregate {PB + M1}. The range of applications is further enlarged by adding another application-oriented mixture M3 to said aggregate ip defined proportions (e.g. gypsum for producing quick-assembly structural panels) or a flow agent in order to allow an extrusion method (e.g. for producing bar-shaped elements)).

Title: Ultrafine metal powder slurry
Inventor: UCHIDA MORISHIGE
IPC: B22F1/00
Filed: 2005-07-25
Granted: 2009-11-10
Abstract: In an ultrafine metal powder slurry containing an organic solvent, a surfactant, and an ultrafine metal powder, the surfactant is oleoyl sarcosine, the content of the ultrafine metal powder in the ultrafine metal powder slurry is 70 to 95 percent by mass, and more than 0.05 to less than 2.0 parts by mass of the surfactant is contained relative to 100 parts by mass of the ultrafine metal powder. By the above slurry, reduction in labor and treatment time can be realized in a conductive paste forming process. In addition, since aggregation of particles of the ultrafine metal powder is prevented, an ultrafine metal powder slurry can be provided having superior dispersibility and dry film density.

Title: Suture management
Inventor: ORTIZ MARK S
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2007-05-01
Granted: 2014-07-08
Abstract: Various exemplary methods and devices are provided for tensioning suture. The methods and devices are particularly useful in surgical suturing applications in which it is desirable to maintain tension on suture being delivered, yet to allow the tension to be released as desired without retracting the suture. Thus, when tension is released, a length of suture extended from the device can remain extended without any tension being applied thereto. Tension is only applied to any additional length of suture that is extended from the device. The tension applied to the suture is proportional to the length of the suture extended from the device until the tension is released and reset.
