Title: Methods for manufacturing molded sheets having a high starch content
Inventor: ANDERSEN PER J
IPC: B29C48/465
Filed: 1997-04-09
Granted: 1999-11-18
Abstract: Compositions and methods for manufacturing sheets having a starch-bound matrix reinforced with fibers and optionally including an inorganic mineral filler. Suitable mixtures for forming the sheets are prepared by mixing together water, unmodified and ungelatinized starch granules, a cellulosic ether, fibers, and optionally an inorganic mineral filler in the correct proportions to form a sheet having desired properties. The mixtures are formed into sheets by passing them between one or more sets of heated rollers to form green sheets. The heated rollers cause the cellulosic ether to form a skin on the outer surfaces of the sheet that prevents the starch granules from causing the sheet to adhere to the rollers upon gelation of the starch. The green sheets are passed between heated rollers to gelatinize the starch granules, and then to dry the sheet by removing a substantial portion of the water by evaporation. The starch and cellulosic ether form the binding matrix of the sheets with the fibers and optional inorganic filler dispersed throughout the binding matrix. The starch-bound sheets can be cut, rolled, pressed, scored, perforated, folded, and glued to fashion articles from the sheets much like paper or paperboard. The sheets are particularly useful in the mass production of containers, such as food and beverage containers.

Title: Integrated dual-function catheter system for balloon angioplasty and stent delivery
Inventor: FISCHELL ROBERT E
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1995-11-22
Granted: 1999-05-20
Abstract: An integrated catheter (10) system utilizes a balloon angioplasty catheter placed through a central passageway of a stent delivery catheter to enable balloon angioplasty and stent (40) delivery to be accomplished with a single device. The integrated catheter system is able to perform dilatation of an arterial stenosis, placement of the stent (40) at the site of the stenosis and then the angioplasty catheter balloon (16) can be used to further embed the stent into the arterial wall. Balloon angioplasty, stent placement and stent embedding into the arterial wall are all accomplished while the catheter's angioplasty balloon (16) remains situated at the site of the stenosis. A conically-shaped distal portion of the stent delivery catheter allows stent placement over the deflated balloon after balloon angioplasty even when intimal dissection causes an intimal flap to be pushed inwardly against the deflated balloon. A proximal portion of the integrated catheter system employs longitudinal motion constraining spacers (90) to prevent the stent from being inadvertently positioned beyond the distal end of the balloon. The balloon of the balloon angioplasty catheter can be readily advanced through tortuous coronary arteries because the distal end of the stent delivery catheter can be placed back by 0.5 to 20 cm from the balloon's proximal end during insertion. Thus, the stiffness of the stent and the stent delivery catheter do not add stiffness to the distal portion of the balloon angioplasty catheter, which stiffness can prevent catheter advancement through such tortuous vessels. <IMAGE>

Title: Monitoring method and monitoring system
Inventor: HARTE RENE ANTONIE
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 1996-04-15
Granted: 1999-07-08
Abstract: Prior art methods used for monitoring, via monitoring means, signals which are to be transmitted via telecommunication links and with said signals each comprising a signalling signal and a content signal, require that the processing means which are required for monitoring are either situated in the vicinity of the monitoring means or must be coupled to the monitoring means via leased-lines. By having the monitoring means generate a further signalling signal, dependent upon a code word related to a signalling signal, and consequently transmitting, dependent upon the further signalling signal, a content signal which is to be monitored to the processing means, a substantial more efficient method is obtained as both means can be coupled via a public telephony network. Furthermore, the possibility arises not only to transmit a content signal which is to be monitored to the processing means but also a signalling signal, especially if the telephony network is a so-called ISDN network which uses one or two B channels and one D channel for each telecommunication link which has been established and has to be monitored.
