Abstract: An elongated catheter device with a distal balloon assembly is adapted for endovascular insertion. Coolant injected through the device may directly cool tissue contacting the balloon (212), or may cool a separate internal chamber. In the first case, the coolant also inflates the balloon, and spent coolant is returned to the handle via a return passage extending through the body of the catheter. Plural balloons may be provided, wherein a secondary outer balloon (212) surrounds a primary inner balloon (203), the primary balloon being filled with coolant and acting as the cooling chamber. The secondary balloon is coupled to a vacuum return lumen (205) to serve as a robust leak containment device and thermal insulator around the cooling chamber.

Abstract: In the construction of walls in balloon framing below roof pitches, the problem exists that the attachment profiles (1) used are to be suitable for different inclines and are to be connectable to the incline. For this purpose, attachment profiles (1) are known, which have fastening tabs (6) on both sides, which may be bent into the particular required inclined attitude. The present invention is to improve the intrinsic strength of these attachment profiles (1) The invention solves this by fastening tabs (6), which extend nearly over the entire profile web (2) and are only linked on a deflection edge (7) on one side on the attachment profile (1) in the area of the profile web (2). In addition, the attachment profile (1) can be used for the upper and lower fixing of the sub profiles of a stud or stud round wall.

Abstract: The present invention relates to printing inks for the intaglio printing process, also referred to as engraved steel die printing process. In particular, oxidatively curing inks comprising a combination of fusible wax and a UV curing binder component are disclosed. These inks can be printed on a standard printing press, and, through a short UV irradiation after printing, allow to significantly reduce or eliminate the undesiredset-off which can occur after printing and stacking the printed sheets. Using the inks of the present invention results in less set-off contaminated printed sheets, allowing for a higher pile-stacking of the printed good, for the use of increased engraving depths, of a more challenging intaglio design, and for the printing on less porous substrates, whilst enabling the printing on a standard printing press, and offering the possibility of using a lower printing plate temperature.

Abstract: A modular rotary cutter bed (10) is formed by a series of essentially identical cutter modules (28) mounted end-to-end along the length of a common support beam (12). Guards (94) for the cutters of the modules are arranged such that each guard overlaps and bridges the seam (44) between an adjacent pair of modules (28) so as to increase the structural rigidity of the cutter bed.  Each guard (94) is attached at its front end to the noses (54) of a pair of adjacent modules and at its rear end to the support beam to increase structural integrity in all directions. A second embodiment does not utilize a common support beam for the modules (228) but instead relies upon the interconnections between adjacent modules and bridging overlap of the guards (294) to rigidify the cutter bed.

Abstract: Liposomes are used for intravesical drug delivery, especially delivery of botulinuni toxin (BoNT) to help improve lower urinary tract symptoms by decreasing bladder irritation and frequency.  The system uses a lower and safer dose of BoNT  with lower risk of urinary retention. A simple instillation of liposome-BoNT  as a liquid formulation into the bladder, in a typical volume of 30-60 ml, will achieve efficacy similar to that currently achieved with cystscopic needle injection of BoNT. The dose may be lower than that done by injection, thereby causing significantly less risk of urinary retention, Liposome-BoNT can protect the BoNT from bladder and urine breakdown. Liposome-BoNT instillation is more comfortable for the patients and allows many more doctors' offices to offer this form of treatment that would otherwise be restricted to doctors skilled and certified in cystoscopic BoNT injection.

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing samples, such as biological samples, to accurately and effectively determine the susceptibility of the samples to antimicrobial materials, so as to determine minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values for the respective samples and antimicrobial materials. At each of a plurality of time intervals, the system and method directs a plurality of different analyzing light wavelengths, such as red, green and blue wavelengths, onto each of a plurality of sample wells, and detects a respective resultant light wavelength emanating from the respective sample wells for each of the analyzing light wavelengths. The system and method uses resultant light wavelengths to generate at least two growth indicator characteristic curves representing, for example, the redox state and turbidity characteristics of the sample. wells. The system then uses the redox state and turbidity characteristics of sample wells containing the same antimicrobial material to determine the MIC value for that material in relation to the sample contained in those wells.
