Inventor: ALBRECHT GERHARD
IPC: C08G18/58
Filed: 2006-06-30
Abstract: The invention relates to amphiphilic polymer compounds that are produced in such a manner that: a) a di-, tri- or tetraglycidyl compound (A) is reacted with an optionally unsaturated reactive constituent (B), comprised of a C8-C28 fatty acid, a C8-C28 alcohol or of a C8-C28 secondary amine, afterwards; b) the reaction product from step a) is permitted to react with an aliphatic or aromatic polyisocyanate compound (C), and finally; c) the reaction product from step b) is reacted with a polyalkene oxide compound (D) of general formula (I), in which R1 = H, a linear or branched and optionally unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical with 1 to 12 C atoms, R2 = a linear or branched and optionally unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical with 1 to 30 C atoms or represents phenyl, m = 0 to 250, n = 3 to 350, and x = 1 to 12, and the ethylene oxide, i.e. higher alkene oxide units, can be distributed in any manner in the polyalkene oxide compound (D).

Abstract: An apparatus for remodeling the annulus of a cardiac valve includes a first elongate flexible member having a distal end portion and a proximal end portion interconnected by a main body portion. The distal end portion is steerable from the proximal end portion and advanceable to one side of the cardiac valve annulus via a percutaneous approach. The distal end portion includes a terminal end and a connecting section spaced apart by a predetermined length. The connecting section has a structure for disconnecting from the main body portion, in addition to a structure for interconnecting with the terminal end to form a ring of a predetermined shape adjacent the one side of the cardiac valve annulus. The distal end portion further includes a mechanism for attaching to the cardiac valve annulus so that, when the ring is formed, the distal end portion contracts and thereby remodels the annulus of the cardiac valve. The apparatus can also include a second elongate flexible member for positioning on the opposite side of the native valve annulus and which may be magnetically attracted to the first flexible member in order to attach the apparatus to the valve annulus.

Abstract: Methods and computer readable media for performing a compositional reservoir simulation of a subterranean hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir is provided (500). Reduced variables for flash computations are utilized with a methodology of conditional stability testing for achieving optimal efficiency of phase behavior computations in a compositional reservoir simulator (510). A least abundant phase is selected as primary variables for a primary phase and a secondary phase is selected for a more abundant phase to ensure stability by not dividing by a value near zero due to the selection of the primary phase as being associated with phase which is the least abundant. A bounded interval may be used to limit solution changes in reduced variable algorithms to achieve great stability of algorithms. Stability test may be performed During flash computation using reduced variables by employing Direct residual from based on the definition of the reduced variables and the tangent-plane distance condition.
