Title: Nanocomposite biomaterials of nanocrystalline cellulose (ncc) and polylactic acid (pla)
Inventor: HAMAD WADOOD Y
IPC: C08B3/00
Filed: 2011-01-26
Abstract: A new approach is conceived for the development of sustainable biomaterials comprising nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC) and polylactic acid (PLA) nanocomposites. The invention deals with advancing a method based on in situ ring opening polymerization of L-lactide in the presence of NCC particles to form NCC-PLA supramolecular nanocomposite materials. This material is hydrophobic and compatible with a wide range of synthetic and natural polymers. NCC-PLA nanocomposites have enhanced functionality (e.g. gas barrier), rheological and mechanical performance, as well as dimensional stability (i.e. less hygroexpansivity) relative to PLA. They are made from entirely renewable resources, and are potentially biocompatible as well as recyclable. NCC-PLA supramolecular nanocomposites can be suspended in most organic solvents or dried to form a solid substance. They can be processed using conventional polymer processing techniques to develop 3-dimensional structures, or spun into fibres, yarns or filaments.

Patent CA-2794567-A1 (CA)
Title: Electrochemical cell stack
Inventor: UNDERWOOD RICHARD LINDSAY
IPC: H01M8/24
Filed: 2011-03-11
Abstract: A cell stack has frames having lines of four apertures (41) at each end. In the stack, the apertures form four ducts at each end of the side of the stack, with the ducts extending from end to end of the stack for electrolyte flow therethrough. The apertures in the transfer frames have no passages connected to them. The eight apertures (41) in the passage frame are surrounded in pairs by four grooves (44) and O-rings (45), dividing them into a pair for anolyte feed, a pair for anolyte return, a pair for catholyte feed and a pair for catholyte return. The stack is divided into opposite end sections (46, 47). Only one of each pair is connected to a local feed or return flow passage, contained within the O-rings. The other is connected in the other section. The anolyte feed and return passages (51,52,55,56) lead from their apertures to respective openings (61) from the side (4) of each passage frame to its plain face (18). Here a distribution rebate (62), with spreading features (63), is provided to distribute / collect electrolyte to the graphite felt in the anolyte half cell. The result is that there is no electrical connection via the electrolyte in the ducts between cells at opposite ends of the stack. The inner ones of the ducts connect the cells at opposite ends of the section 46 and the outer ones the cells at opposite ends of the ducts (47). Thus a shunt current paths still exist, but at only half the voltage to the entire stack.

Abstract: A self-adjusting gastric band (105) comprises an inflatable portion (110) that includes a fluid such as saline. A reservoir is spaced from the inflatable portion according to a distance related to a wavelength of a peristaltic wave that propagates through the esophageal - gastric junction. A pressure - relief valve is coupled between the inflatable portion and the reservoir and allows an amount of the fluid to pass from the inflatable portion to the reservoir when a first force generates an increased pressure in the inflatable portion. The amount of fluid is released to allow the large bolus to pass through the esophageal - gastric junction. A contracted portion of the peristaltic wave is proximate the reservoir when an expanded portion of the wave is proximate the inflatable portion of the self-adjusting gastric band, to facilitate allowing the amount of the fluid to enter the reservoir.
