Abstract: A method of extracting caffeine from green coffee beans whereby an essentially caffeine-free supercritical fluid is continuously fed to one end of an extraction vessel containing green coffee beans and caffeine-laden supercritical fluid is continuously withdrawn from the opposite end. A portion of decaffeinated beans is periodically discharged while a fresh portion of undecaffeinated beans is essentially simultaneously charged to the extraction vessel. The caffeine-laden supercritical fluid is fed to a countercurrent water absorber. Supercritical carbon dioxide is the preferred supercritical fluid. The method of the present invention is more efficient than batch processes and produces an improved decaffeinated coffee.

Abstract: The device of the present invention comprises a bifurcated graft fabricated from expanded PTFE (ePTFE). The inventive device is double walled so that following insertion into an aneurysm, fluid can be injected between the walls to expand the device thereby opening the inner tubular graft for receiving blood flow and locking the device into place in the aorta. The injected fluid may polymerize so that the device is permanently held in its expanded form. One embodiment of the device is fabricated with pockets or channels. After the device is delivered and expanded additional stiffening struts can be inserted into these pockets. In this way the basic device can be furled and tightly compressed for delivery (something not possible with a stent containing device). After the device is expanded, a stent-like structure can be inserted endovascularly giving the strength and resiliency of a stent-containing prosthesis.
