Title: Biomatériaux de protoélastine à base de tropoélastine
Inventor: NG MARTIN KEAN CHONG
IPC: A61L27/22
Filed: 2007-09-28
Abstract: L'invention concerne des matériaux biocompatibles appropriés pour une utilisation dans des applications vasculaires, qui ont été manufacturés par combinaison de la tropoélastine recombinante humaine avec d'autres biomatériaux synthétiques ou naturels pour former la protoélastine. Les biomatériaux peuvent se présenter sous la forme de films d'élastine sur des substrats métalliques, osseux, céramiques ou polymères, des stratifiés de polymère et d'élastine alternants, des mélanges de polymère et d'élastine ou de l'élastine réticulée ou attachée à un polymère. La flexibilité de manufacture et de conception rend les biomatériaux de protoélastine appropriés non seulement pour la production de conduits mais encore pour un nombre d'autres applications vasculaires qui nécessitent des surfaces de mise en contact avec le sang. La tropoélastine et la protoélastine du biomatériau manufacturé ultérieurement fournissent l'occasion de satisfaire un large besoin non satisfait pour un matériau biocompatible suffisamment adaptable pour satisfaire une gamme de diverses utilisations vasculaires. Ceux-ci sont mécaniquement stables, élastiques, résistants et biocompatibles, (c'est-à-dire, ils ne sont ni thrombogènes ni ne favorisent l'adhésion des cellules, notamment les cellules endothéliales humaines).

Title: System, method, computer program for multidirectional pathway selection
Inventor: SAAVEDRA PAT HUMBERTO
IPC: H04L45/28
Filed: 2010-08-12
Abstract: The present invention is a system, method and computer program product operable to select a pathway for a communication signal within a network between two end points. The pathway may be selected based on one or more parameters that may be monitored or measured at either, or both, of the two end points. Should one or more of the parameters indicate an imminent network connection failure, the communication signal may be transferred from a primary communication connection to a second communication connection. The present invention may distinguish false from true positive detections and may undertake a transfer of a communication signal within a short response time, so as to support real-time applications. The present invention may manage the pathway to support communication between the two end points at any given time. Such communications may occur in two directions, therefore the management of the pathway can happen in two directions.
