Title: Spontaneous vesiculation of multilamellar liposomes
IPC: A61K9/133
Filed: 1988-12-22
Abstract: A new method is disclosed for making unilamellar vesicles from multilamellar vesicles. Such vesicles are formed without the use of physical or chemical disruption processes known in the art for forming unilamellar vesicles. The liposomes are incubated at neutral pH at or near the transition temperature of the lipids used, in low ionic strength media such as distilled water. The liposomes may comprise bioactive agents, such as the toxic hydrophobic drugs such as the polyene antibiotic amphotericin B, and may be used in vivo or in vitro. Lipid compositions are preferably a combination of the phospholipids dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine (DMPC) and dimyristoylphosphatidylglycerol (DMPG) in about a 7:3 mole ratio.

Title: Surgical aspirator cannula
IPC: A61M1/00
Filed: 1989-03-20
Abstract: A surgical aspirator cannula including an elongated body member (144) having a longitudinal aspiration conduit (138), and a valve assembly (150) supported by the body member and operable to close off the aspiration conduit. The valve assembly includes a thumb switch pad (152) and a plunger having a bore laterally therethrough. When the switch pad is depressed the bore is aligned with the aspiration conduit and suction pressure communicates with the cannula. By sliding it forward, the switch pad can be locked into this open position. When released the plunger is biased upward by a coil spring (158) so that the bore is no longer aligned with the conduit and thereby closing it. A securing assembly (140) removably secures the desired cannula to the forward end of the elongated body member.

Patent EP-0471015-A4 (EP)
Title: Apparatus for measuring the mode quality of a laser beam
IPC: G01J1/42
Filed: 1990-04-26
Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining the quality of a multimode laser beam (10). In the preferred embodiment, the apparatus includes a lens (32) for creating a transformed or imaged waist from the imput beam. The locations of the transformed beam waist and its diameter are then determined. These steps can be carried out by chopping the beam using a rotating hub (34) having apertures (36, 38) for selectively passing the beam. Preferably, one of the apertures has a pair of 45 DEG  knife edges (40, 42). The transmission of the beam past the knife edge is monitored by a detector (30). In operation, the lens focal position is varied while the transmission of the beam past the knife edge is monitored in order to locate and measure the diameter of the transformed waist. The diameter of the beam at one other known location is measured. A processor then calculates beam quality by fitting these measurements to a mathematical model. Once the quality of the beam is calculated, the location of the original beam waist and its diameter can be derived. Once all of the beam parameters are derived, the propagation characteristics of the beam can be predicted.

Patent EP-0555369-A4 (EP)
Title: Layer comparison techniques in stereolithography
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1991-10-30
Abstract: A method of and apparatus for slicing a three-dimensional object representation into a plurality of layer representations. The layer representations are subsequently used to form the object layer-by-layer from a solidifiable material by stereolithography (711). If not already provided in the object representation, a plurality of layer boundary representations are first formed, and then the boolean difference (17), of successive layer boundary representations are computed to derive boundaries of up and down-facing regions, enabling different cure parameters to be specified for these different regions. In another method, the depth of the curable material within the objet underlying a selected area element is determined and compared to the depht to the minimum solidification depth of the material. The area element is exposed to solidifying synergistic stimulation only if the depth of the material equals or exceeds the minimum solidification depth. A next layer is created over the first layer without curing the first layer, if the depth is less than the minimum solidification depth. Another method and apparatus (714) eliminates or substantially reduces curling effects in stereolithographically formed objects. Synergistic stimulation is applied to a curable material to form a three-dimensional object through the build up of successive layers.
