Patent EP-1260214-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DING NI
IPC: A61F2/82
Filed: 1998-04-21
Abstract: The invention is directed to medical devices having
a drug-releasing coating and methods for making such coated
devices. The coating permits timed or prolonged
pharmacological activity on the surface of medical devices
through a reservoir concept. Specifically, the coating
comprises at least two layers: an outer layer containing at
least one drug-ionic surfactant complex overlying a reservoir
layer containing a polymer and the drug which is
substantially free of an ionic surfactant. Upon exposure to
body tissue of a medical device covered with such coating,
the ionically bound drug in the outer layer is released into
body fluid or tissue. Following release of such bound drug,
the ionic surfactant binding sites in the outer layer are
left vacant. To maintain the pharmacological activity after
delivery of the ionically bound drug, additional amounts of
the drug are embedded or incorporated in the reservoir layer
in a manner which allows the drug, which is substantially
free of ionic surfactants, to complex with the vacant binding
sites of the ionic surfactant of the outer layer. As a
result, the surface of the medical device is enriched with
the drug to provide sustained pharmacological activity to
prevent the adverse reaction due to the presence of the
medical device. The invention is further directed to medical
devices with stabilized drug-releasing coatings. The
coatings are stabilized by exposure to a low energy,
relatively non-penetrating energy source,  e.g. , gas plasma or
an electron beam energy source.

Abstract: A heat-insulating container (1) comprises a disc-shaped upper lid (10), a disc-shaped
lower lid (20) and a cylindrical sidewall portion (30) which are all made of a synthetic
resin foam. The cylindrical sidewall portion (30) is made up of two or more separate
pieces (31) divided along the circumference. When necessary, the entire container is
accommodated in a container protector (50) to ensure its strength. The
heat-insulating container (1) allows the temperature of a heat-insulated item to be
controlled below a preferable temperature for a long time. When not used as a
heat-insulating container, its entire volume can be reduced, thereby allowing the space
required for its distribution or storage to be reduced. Since the container is made up
of a plurality of parts, molding costs can be reduced.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for determining a reference time associated with a
satellite positioning system. In turn, the reference time, in one embodiment, may be
used to determine other navigational information. Such navigational information may
include, for example, the location/position of a satellite positioning system (SPS)
receiver. In one embodiment, an error statistic is used to determine the reference time.
According to another embodiment of the invention, two records, each representing at
least a portion of a satellite message, are compared to determine time. In one
implementation, the SPS receiver is mobile and operates in conjunction with a
basestation to determine time and/or other navigational information according to one or
a combination of the methods described.

Abstract: A digital camera for capturing and processing images
of different resolutions is described together with a
method for down-scaling a digital image. The method
comprises the steps of forming an image of a real
scene on an image sensor (4) comprising a plurality of
pixels arranged in a matrix, addressing and reading
pixels in the matrix to obtain analogue quantities
related with the pixels luminance values, converting (5)
the analogue quantities from the pixels matrix into
digital values and processing (6-13) the digital values
to obtain a data file representing the image of the real
scene. To reduce computation time and power consumption
the step of addressing and reading pixels includes the
steps of selecting a group of pixels from the matrix,
storing the analogue quantities related with the pixels
of the selected group of pixels into analogue storing
means (14) and averaging the stored analogue quantities
to obtain an analogue quantity corresponding to an
average pixel luminance value.

Abstract: With respect to data having periodicity to be compressed,
windows of the same size are set for every two sections
according to an interval of peaks appearing substantially
periodically and processing for sorting sample data
alternately among the set windows of the same size is
sequentially performed, whereby a frequency of data having
periodicity is replaced with an approximately half frequency
without damaging reproducibility to original data at all to
make it possible to apply compression processing to data of
the replaced low frequency. If this sorting processing is
applied to compression processing having a characteristic
that a compression ratio is not increased in a high-frequency
region, it becomes possible to improve a compression ratio
without damaging a quality of reproduced data by
decompression at all.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for cooling a
steel plate comprising the steps of: forming a water pool
with jets of cooling water being injected to impinge on one
another by using one slit nozzle and a plurality of induced
laminar flow nozzles, the slit nozzle being provided in a
position on an upper surface side of the steel plate, and
the induced laminar flow nozzles being provided in a
position on a lower surface side of the steel plate along a
transfer direction and a direction perpendicular to the
transfer direction; and passing the steel plate into the
water pool, wherein when a top portion of the steel plate'
passes over the induced laminar flow nozzles located at
least on the side of highest upstream, a volume of the
cooling water to be injected from each of the induced
laminar flow nozzles is reduced. According to the method of
the present invention, when on-line cooling is performed for
a hot rolled steel plate, the top portion of the steel plate
can be prevented from being super cooled, and the steel
plate can therefore be uniformly cooled.
