Patent CA-2489571-A1 (CA)
Title: Phase change solvents for thermoplastic polymers
Inventor: HAMERSKY MARK WILLIAM
IPC: C08L101/00
Filed: 2003-07-14
Abstract: Phase change solvents for thermoplastic polymers to provide blended compositions. Above the phase change temperature of the solvent, the phase change solvent solubilizes or intimately mixes with the thermoplastic polyme r. Below the phase change temperature of the solvent, the phase change solvent solidifies or crystallizes within the thermoplastic matrix. The phase change behavior of these materials produce blended compositions that exhibit lowere d shear viscosity and lowered processing temperature without substantially compromising mechanical properties of the thermoplastic polymer. The present invention also relates to a method of improving the processability of a thermoplastic polymer using the phase change solvent.

Title: High reflectivity and high flux x-ray optic element and method of making same using atomic layer deposition techniques
Inventor: HENDERSON STEPHEN JOHN
IPC: G21K1/06
Filed: 2003-07-30
Abstract: This invention relates to a method of forming multiple bilayers on a substra te using an atomic layer deposition process. The reflecting layer of the bilaye r pair can be a high electron density metal and the spacing layer of the bilay er pair can be a low electron density material. Because atomic layer deposition can deposit atomic layer controlled and conformal films, multiple bilayers c an be deposited on the internal surfaces of monocapillary tubes. By applying a graded multiple bilayer, much higher reflectivity and higher flux optical elements can be obtained than those based on total external reflection. Deposition of a graded multiple bilayer on an elliptic or parabolic tapered tube leads to focused or collimated output from a point source input. Variou s atomic, layer deposition techniques are described to produce the graded multiple bilayer high quality X-ray focusing devices, especially for "hard" X- ~rays.

Patent CA-2500377-A1 (CA)
Title: Hemostasis valve
Inventor: CORE LEE A
IPC: A61M5/178
Filed: 2003-10-10
Abstract: A hemostasis valve includes a single gland (16) with multiple offset longitudinal slits (32/34) that do no extend through the gland (16) completely. The multiple slits (32/34) from a complex pathway for the guide dilator/catheter (58) and thus a better seal. The offset slits (32/34) are joined by a lateral cut (36) in the gland. When a guide wire or dilator/catheter (58) is introduced into the introducer, the gland (16) deforms sufficiently to allow the guide wire or other device (58) to move through the first slits (32), the lateral cut (36) and the second slits (34).  This complex pathway or slit provides a larger sealing surface thereby creating a better seal. As a result, effective seals may be formed around relatively large, as compared to the inner diameter of an introducer sheath, catheters.
