Title: Antimicrobial bioabsorbable materials
Inventor: LANGFORD RITA JOHANNNA MARY
IPC: A61K33/24
Filed: 2001-04-17
Granted: 2005-09-29
Abstract: The invention provides bioabsorbable materials with antimicrobial coatings or powders which provide an effective and sustainable antimicrobial effect. Specifically, this invention provides bioabsorbable materials comprising a bioabsorbable substrate associated with one or more antimicrobial metals being in a crystalline form characterized by sufficient atomic disorder, such that the bioabsorbable material in contact with an alcohol or water based electrolyte, releases atoms, ion, molecules, or clusters of at least one antimicrobial metal at a concentration sufficient to provide an antimicrobial effect. The one or more antimicrobial metals do not interfere with the bioabsorption of the bioabsorbable material, and do not leave behind particulates larger than 2 mum, as measured 24 hours after. The bioabsorbable material has disappeared. Most preferably, the particulate sizing from the coating or powder is sub-micron that is less than about 1 mum, as measured 24 hours after the bioabsorbable material has disappeared. Particulates are thus sized to avoid deleterious immune responses or toxic effects. Such antimicrobial metals are in the form of a continuous or discontinuous coating, a powder, or a coating on a bioabsorbable powder. The antimicrobial coating is thin, preferably less than 900 nm or more preferably less than 500 nm, and very fine grained, with a grain size (crystallite size) of preferably less than 100 nm, more preferably less than 40 nm, and most preferably less than 20 nm. The antimicrobial coating is formed of an antimicrobial metal, which is overall crystalline, but which is created with atomic disorder, and preferably also having either or both of a) a high oxygen content, as evidenced by a rest potential greater than about 225 mV, more preferably greater than about 250 mV, in 0.15 M Na2CO3 against a SCE (standard calomel electrode), or b) discontinuity in the coating. The antimicrobial metal associated with the bioabsorbable substrate may also be in the form of a powder, having a particle size of less than 100 mum, or preferably less than 40 mum, and with a grain size (crystallite size) of preferably less than 100 nm, more preferably less than 40 nm, and most preferably less than 20 nm, Such powders may be prepared as a coating preferably of the above thickness, onto powdered biocompatible and bioabsorbable substrates; as a nanocrystalline coating and converted into a powder; or as a powder of the antimicrobial metal which is cold worked to impart atomic disorder. Methods of preparing the above antimicrobial bioabsorbable materials are thus also provided.

Title: Handover in a cellular communication system
Inventor: BURKE MICHAEL EDWARD
IPC: H04W36/18
Filed: 2002-02-11
Granted: 2006-04-13
Abstract: An arrangement wherein handover is improved for a lower data rate user assigned to a lower data rate channel alternative that does not support soft handover. If handover is to be required, the user is re-assigned to a higher data rate dedicated traffic channel that does support soft handover. Soft handover is then implemented. After handover is completed, the lower data rate user may be re-assigned to a lower data rate channel alternative. One example of a lower data rate channel alternative, employed in a Universal Mobile Telephone Standard (UMTS) system , is a RACH/FACH combination bearer.

Patent AU-2002331034-B2 (AU)
Title: Valve system and method
Inventor: SUNDARARAJAN ALAGARSAMY
IPC: E21B34/02
Filed: 2002-08-09
Granted: 2007-02-15
Abstract: A valve system and method is disclosed that includes, in one preferred embodiment, a compact valve system that may be configured in many different ways so as to be especially suitable for conforming to the dimensional requirements of many particular subsea installations such as lower riser packages. Thus, the height of the hydraulic actuator and/or manual override operators can be varied depending on the necessary configuration. However, operation of the manual override operators is the same as previously utilized subsea manual override operators. In one presently preferred embodiment, a hydraulic actuator which may be a fail-safe actuator, is connected to a gate valve utilizing an operating stem which extends through a first bonnet secured to one side of a gate valve body. A moveable gate is attached to the operating stem and is therefore operably connected for control by the hydraulic actuator. On an opposite side of the gate valve body, a second bonnet is secured. Attached to the second bonnet is a manual override operator having a rotary drive shaft and slave member. The slave member is attached to a balance stem which is secured to an opposite side of the gate with respect to the operating stem. The rotary drive shaft and slave member comprise reverse threads to thereby operate in the same manner as if the manual override operator were operably secured to the hydraulic actuator. The valve body is preferably symmetrical such that the position of the hydraulic actuator and manual override operator could be switched, if desired.

Title: System and method for automated configuration of meters
Inventor: CHRISTOPHER RUSSELL G
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2005-09-16
Granted: 2011-07-14
Abstract: A number of meters to be configured according to a particular billing rate. Multiple billing rates may be defined, named, and stored for use. Each such billing rate may include time of use (TOU) configuration parameters and/or demand configuration parameters. Alternatively, a billing rate may include strictly consumption based parameters. Each billing rate is “meter independent”, meaning that it is not specific to any particular meter configuration format. The billing rate is defined in a format that is convenient for the operator and then translated into a format that is specific to each meter on which it is implemented. Thus, to configure a number of different parameters on a number of differently formatted meters, only a single billing rate need be defined and propagated to the meters.

Title: Stall controller and triggering condition control features for a wind turbine
Inventor: DAVID CALLEY
IPC: F03D9/00
Filed: 2006-07-17
Granted: 2011-09-22
Abstract: Control features for a wind turbine that control the turbine over a range of wind speeds and under triggering conditions with reduced noise, cost, and reliability issues associated with other such controls. Control is accomplished via control electronics, which adjust the torque produced by the electrical output generation device (e.g., alternator) within the wind turbine. During normal operation, torque is adjusted for optimum aerodynamic performance and maximum output of power. In winds above rated power, the control circuit regulates torque to lower aerodynamic performance, as necessary to maintain desired power level output. In triggering conditions, such as during simultaneous control circuit failure and loss of some portion of the electrical output generation device in extreme winds, wind turbine control is accomplished by increasing torque (e.g., via a separate controller) from the electrical output generation device via shorting of windings, so as to cause retardation of blade rotation.

Title: Accommodating diffractive intraocular lens
Inventor: BRADY DANIEL G
IPC: A61F2/16
Filed: 2007-01-04
Granted: 2013-06-27
Abstract: A series of deformable, accommodating intraocular lenses is disclosed, where the series subtends a range of nominal powers . The capsular bag of the eye exerts a distorting force on the lens, thereby changing its power and allowing for accommodation. A full accommodation range is the lens power that brings a distant object into focus, subtracted from the lens power that brings a near object into focus. Each lens (10) in the series has essentially the same shape, which is optimized to maximize the accommodation range for a given distorting force. Typically, the lenses in the series have a meniscus shape, although plano-convex and bi-convex may also be used, in order to vary the nominal power for each lens in the series, without significantly affecting the accommodation range, a diffraction grating (13) is applied to one or both of the lens surfaces (11, 12) , where the grating power is different for each lens in the series.
