Patent AU-689739-B2 (AU)
Title: Clad composite stent
Inventor: MAYER DAVID W
IPC: B21C1/00
Filed: 1997-02-28
Granted: 1998-04-02
Abstract: A body compatible stent is formed of multiple filaments arranged in at least two sets of oppositely directed helical windings interwoven with one another in a braided configuration. Each of the filaments is a composite including a central core and a case surrounding the core. In the more preferred version, the core is formed of a radiopaque and relatively ductile material, e.g. tantalum or platinum. The outer case is formed of a relatively resilient material, e.g. a cobalt/chromium based alloy. Favorable mechanical characteristics of the stent are determined by the case, while the core enables in vivo imaging of the stent. The composite filaments are formed by a drawn filled tubing process in which the core is inserted into a tubular case of a diameter substantially more than the intended final filament diameter. The composite filament is cold-worked in several steps to reduce its diameter, and annealed between successive cold working steps. After the final cold working step, the composite filament is formed into the desired shape and age hardened. Alternative composite filaments employ an intermediate barrier layer between the case and core, a biocompatible cover layer surrounding the case, and a radiopaque case surrounding a structural core.

Title: Perfusive chromatography
Inventor: AFEYAN NOUBAR B
IPC: B01J20/281
Filed: 1992-09-02
Granted: 1995-08-31
Abstract: Disclosed are chromatography methods and matrix geometries which pernmit high resolution, high productivity separation of mixtures of solutes, particularly biological materials. The method involves passing fluids through specially designed chromatography matrices at high flow rates. The matrices define first and second interconnected sets of pores and a high surface area for solute interaction in fluid communication with the members of the second set of pores (14). The first and second sets of pores are embodied, for example, as the interstices among particles and throughpores (14) within the particles. The pores are dimensioned such that, at achievable high fluid flow rates, convective flow occurs in both pore sets, and the convective flow rate exceeds the rate of solute diffusion in the second pore set. This approach couples convective and diffusive mass transport to and from the active surface and permits increases in fluid velocity without the normally expected bandspreading. <IMAGE>

Title: Hearing aid employing a viscoelastic material to adhere components to the casing
Inventor: KOLPE VASANT VENUGOPAL
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 1989-07-27
Granted: 1991-07-25
Abstract: The casing of a hearing aid can be acoustically dampened and its receiver is less likely to amplify noise stemming from vibrations of the casing when the casing is lined with a viscoelastic material. The viscoelastic lining can be applied by laying a viscoelastic layer across the rim of the casing and drawing a vacuum at the sound-communicating orifice of the casing until the viscoelastic is drawn tightly against the interior of the casing. A preferred viscoelastic layer has at one surface a substance such as fibers or beads that will form temporary bridges to permit an air to be evacuated between the viscoelastic layer and a casing to which it is applied. When the deposited viscoelastic is tacky at room temperature, the components of the hearing aid can be positioned simply by pressing them into the viscoelastic material, thus making the assembly easier than prior methods of assembling tiny hearing aids.
