Title: Annulus- reinforcing band
Inventor: KUSLICH STEPHEN D
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2001-12-17
Granted: 2006-02-02
Abstract: A pliable band or hoop that is flexible to normal handling, but cannot stretch circumferentially once it has reached the limits of its circumferential length. The band may have a structural portal to be used for filling, or it may simply be constructed of a fabric-like material that allows a fill tube to perforate its walls to allow for filling. In the latter case, the perforated wall tends to self-seal once the fill tube is withdrawn. The band may be flat or tubular in cross-section. However, unlike a balloon, the band does not require either a bottom or a top, as we found that a top and bottom are unnecessary when using a band or hoop to enclose material injected into a reamed out intervertebral space.

Title: Coated granular substances
Inventor: KUHLMANN PETER
IPC: C05G3/10
Filed: 2002-11-27
Granted: 2007-09-13
Abstract: The invention relates to a coated granular material, wherein the coating is a resin, comprising the reaction producing of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of cardol, cardanol or derivatives or oligomers of these compounds with an isocyanate component, and to a method for the preparation thereof. Water-soluble granular materials are suitable as substances to be coated. Examples of granular substances are fertilizers, crop protection agents, insecticides, pesticides, fungicides, drying agents and mixtures thereof. The substance coated according to the invention has advantageous properties since the resin can be applied in a selective and economical manner to the substrates due to its low tackiness. In particular, coated fertilizer granulates are advantageous in that, with regard to the applied amount of fertilizer, they can provide more nutrients to the plant. In addition, fertilizers can be provided that can provide nutrients to the plant over a longer period of time and continuously and they have an exact and reproducible release behavior according to the type of plant to be treated. Furthermore, the polyol component of the coating can be obtained from the renewable raw material cashew nut oil.

Title: Packet scheduling mechanism
Inventor: BRANDT ROBERT
IPC: H04Q3/66
Filed: 2003-03-15
Granted: 2009-02-26
Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed for slow-start scheduling packets, such as in systems having a non-blocking switching fabric and homogeneous or heterogeneous line card interfaces. In one implementation, multiple request generators, grant arbiters, and acceptance arbiters work in conjunction to determine the scheduling of packets. A set of requests for sending packets from a particular input is identified. The number of requests is possibly reduced to a value less than the number of packets that can be sent from the particular source if the particular input is not saturated. Otherwise, when the particular input is saturated, the number of requests remains the same or is reduced to the maximum number of packets that can be sent during a packet time.

Title: Submerged entry nozzle with dynamic stabilization
Inventor: DORRICOTT JAMES
IPC: B22D41/50
Filed: 2004-03-09
Granted: 2009-04-09
Abstract: The present invention relates to a pour tube for casting molten metal. The pour tube is adapted to reduce turbulence and mold disturbances, thereby producing a more stable, uniform outflow. The pour tube includes an exit port with at least one tongue to provide at least two slots on either side of the tongue.

Title: Formulation of a synergistic insecticidal composition as a cyclodextrin-complex
Inventor: PICCOLO ORESTE
IPC: A01N65/12
Filed: 2004-10-26
Granted: 2011-05-12
Abstract: The present invention provides a new insecticide formulation based on cyclodextrin characterized in that the active substance (insecticide and/or insect growth regulator), and a compound synergistic with the active substance, are complexed simultaneously with cyclodextrin. The formulation presents as a solid or as a solid/oil composition, and is soluble or completely emulsifiable in water or in aqueous mixtures of water miscible solvents. The activity of the present formulations was found to be greater than that of a mixture of the two active components each complexed separately with cyclodextrin, for the same dose. The preparation process of said formulation and its use as an insecticide in agriculture, for veterinary use or to eliminate household insects, are further aspects of the present invention.
