IPC: A61L31/08
Filed: 1996-02-01
Abstract: A biocompatible material 
comprising a substrate made of a polyolefine material, and having a coating of biocompatible carbon material, 
wherein said coating is obtainable by a process comprising the following steps:
     introducing a preformed substrate into an atmosphere of gaseous monomer vinylidene chloride (1,1 di-chloro ethylene);   inducing a graft-polymerization reaction and grafting a uniform layer of polyvinylidene chloride on said substrate; and   substantially eliminating and removing hydrogen chloride (dehydrochlorination reaction) from said polyvinylidene chloride in order to convert said polyvinyliden chloride layer into a coating of biocompatible carbon material.   
     Preferably said graft-polymerization reaction may be induced by means of an ionizing radiation, especially by means of a gamma radiation. Preferably said substantial removal of hydrogen chloride may be obtained by treating said substrate with a hot concentrated aqueous ammonia solution in order to substantially eliminate and remove hydrogen chloride from said polyvinylidene chloride, and to convert said polyvinylidene chloride layer into a coating of biocompatible carbon material being chemically bound to said substrate. Preferably said dehydrochlorination reaction may be continued in order to reduce a residual chlorine content of the coating to less than 6% based on the chlorine content of the original polyvinylidene chloride layer. Said substrate may comprise continuous fibers, filaments, threads or multifilament yarns, each made of polypropylene material, for the manufacture of prosthetic elements, such as artificial vascular grafts, or for the manufacture of suture rings of artificial prosthetic heart valves or for the manufacture of suture yarn or for the manufacture of artificial ligaments and tendons and other prosthetic devices intended for prolonged or permanent implantation in a living body.

Abstract: An inspection apparatus inspects an electronic circuit board (100) on which a plurality of bonding pads (102) and a plurality of pin pads (101) are connected to each other through conductive patterns (515). A probe (400) having a contact pin (402) is moved on the electronic circuit board along a straight line substantially constituted by a terminal group without separating the contact pin from the surface of the electronic circuit board. This moving operation is a "wiping" operation. In the process of movement, an identifiable electrical signal is applied to the contact pin, and a return signal is detected at each pin pad. This return signal is compared with a reference signal obtained in advance by using a reference circuit board. A discontinuity or short in each conductive pattern is determined on the basis of the comparison result.

Abstract: In a selective call receiver which is usable in a plurality of networks (A, B, C), a setting data memory (103) previously stores network identifiers (NET-I) for identifying the networks and network priorities which are assigned to the networks, respectively. After a network identification decision processor (204) identifies a transmitting network from which the calling signal is received by searching the network identifiers for a received network identifier included in the calling signal, a network priority decision processor (205) selects a single network from one or more identified transmitting networks based on the network priorities. The processor (201) instructs a receiving controller (104) to set a radio receiver (101) to a receiving state of the single network.

Abstract: In apparatus for initiating a telecommunications call a plurality of beacons (102), are geographically disposed in a telecommunications system (100). Each beacon (102 n ) radiates an electromagnetic carrier that is modulated with an identifying address (e.g., a telephone number, an Internet address) for an associated terminal (114,116). An identifying signal is stored in a memory in the beacon, a controller modulates a carrier with the identifying signal, and a transmission element transmits the carrier to allow a communications terminal (104) to initiate a call to the associated communications terminal (114,116). A wireless terminal (104a) includes a directional receiver. To initiate a call, a user points the directional receiver at a beacon. The directional receiver receives the electromagnetic carrier and the wireless terminal recovers the identifying address. Wireless terminal (104) then uses the identifying address to initiate a call, in well-known fashion, to the communications terminal (114,116) associated with the identifying address.

Abstract: In the present invention, a U-turn path G is formed by facing an outer guide surface 2a of a guide member 2 to an outer peripheral surface 1a of a convey roller 1. A terminal edge 2A of the outer guide surface 2a forming a part of an outlet Gb of the U-turn path G is configured not to coincide with a straight line but is tapered to be convex at a central portion. When a thick sheet is conveyed through the U-turn path G, a trail end of the thick sheet is shifted to the terminal edge 2A while rubbing the outer guide surface 2a. Then, the trail end of the sheet leaves the terminal edge 2A. Since the terminal edge 2A has the tapered configuration, the trail end of the sheet is gradually disengaged from the terminal edge, thereby preventing the snapping restoring action of the trail end to weaken shock.

Abstract: The invention is directed to an expandable stent (10) for implantation in a body lumen, such as an artery, and a method for making it from a single length of tubing. The stent (10) consists of a plurality of radially expandable cylindrical elements (12) generally aligned on a common axis and interconnected by one or more interconnective elements (13). The individual radially expandable cylindrical elements (12) consist of ribbon-like material disposed in an undulating pattern. The stents (10) are made by coating a length of tubing (21) with an etchant-resistive material and then selectively removing portions of the coating to form a pattern for the stent (10) on the tubing (21) to expose the portions of the tubing to be removed. This may be done by machine-controlled activation and relative positioning of a laser (24) in conjunction with the coated tubing (21). After the patterning of the tubing (21), the stent (10) is formed by removing exposed portions of the tubing (21) by an etching process.

information is detected by a signal processing unit (8).
A modulator (3), which is connected to the oscillator (2),
modulates the oscillator output in order to detect
a failure. A detection unit, in which a filter unit (10),
a rectification circuit (11), and a voltage comparison

Abstract: A precompression pump sprayer has a variable volume suck-back chamber (37) in communication with the discharge orifice (31) for inwardly suctioning any residual liquid away from the orifice and the spin mechanics (32) to avoid clogging as a result of dried accumulated product. In one embodiment a cover (33) on the plunger head (27) is spring loaded (38,39) and therewith defines the suck-back chamber. In another embodiment the plunger head (49) is spring loaded on the piston stem (19), such that in both embodiments a top end wall of the suck-back chamber is shiftable relative to the piston stem independently of piston reciprocation. The biasing spring has a spring force permitting a shifting of the end wall to reduce the volume of the suck-back chamber at a peak pressure reached in the pump chamber beyond the threshold pressure required to open the discharge valve, at which time the spring is compressed. The restoring force of the spring causes the top end wall to shift to expand the volume of the suck-back chamber.
