Title: A coating employing an anti-thrombotic conjugate
Inventor: ZHAO JONATHON Z
IPC: A61L31/16
Filed: 2008-07-07
Abstract: A biodegradable antithrombotic conjugate having heparin and other antithrombotic moieties are introduced as side chains to the polymer backbone modified by click chemistry. Various bioabsorbable monomers and dimers such as valerolactone may be used in the monomer derivation, homo- and co-polymerization, and the conjugation with a biologically active molecule by click chemistry. A coating comprising a biocompatible and bioabsorbable polymer anti-thrombotic conjugate is applied to at least a portion of an implantable device to prevent or reduce the formation of thrombosis on the surface of the implantable device. A first or sub-layer of the coating is prepared by mixing a polymeric material and a biologically active agent with a solvent, thereby forming a homogeneous solution. A second or outer layer comprising the present anti-thrombotic conjugate may be applied over the inner drug-containing layers using, for example, a dip coating or spray coating process.

Title: Increasing air inlet/outlet size for electronics chassis
Inventor: BISBIKIS STEVE
IPC: H05K7/20
Filed: 2007-03-20
Abstract: Provided are electronics chassis having air inlets with increased cross-sectional area that facilitate airflow through the chassis and thereby provide improved cooling. As electronics chassis are often stacked, it has been determined that the upper surfaces of a lower chassis may be utilized to at least partially define the air inlet of the upper chassis. In this regard, an upper portion of the lower chassis may be removed to increase the size of an air inlet. That is, portions of an upper wall and/or the top wall of a lower chassis are removed and connected by a connecting wall (e.g. a tapered and/or a chamfered wall). Likewise, the bottom wall of an upper chassis may be removed. When stacked, the air inlet of the upper chassis may be disposed above the truncated portion of the lower chassis. In such an arrangement, the size of the resulting air intake is significantly increased.
