Title: Biocompatible endoprostheses
Inventor: LUTHRA AJAY KUMAR
IPC: A61L31/10
Filed: 2000-03-13
Granted: 2005-03-24
Abstract: A highly biocompatible vascular endoprosthesis designed to reduce the tendency to restenosis after treatment for vascular disease. The vascular endoprosthesis preferably comprises an array of cylindrical elements (4) arranged internally or externally and secured to a continuous tubular element (7). This composite device is described as an arrayed stent graft. The cylindrical elements are made of wire wound in zig-zag form and may be constructed of metal or other suitable material. The tubular element may be either knitted or woven textile, a thin walled polymer tube, a thin walled elastomeric tube or a composite of two or more of these or other compounds. All external surfaces of the stent graft are composed of biocompatible material consisting of a polymer having both non-thrombogenic and anti-thrombogenic properties on the same polymer backbone or, if required, only non-thrombogenic or only anti-thrombogenic properties as described in WO97/41164. In addition to use in the vascular system the device has applications in other body canals and vessels including biliary stenting and transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic stent shunting (TIPSS).

Title: An optical crosspoint switch using vertically coupled waveguide structure
Inventor: WHITE IAN
IPC: G02F1/313
Filed: 2000-03-30
Granted: 2003-09-11
Abstract: An optical crosspoint switch structure is disclosed. The switch permits light signal to be diverted from any arbitrary number of input ports to any or several of an arbitrary number of output ports. The switch consists of two groups or intercepting optical waveguides formed on a planar substrate, which are the input and output waveguides respectvely. At each intersection another waveguide is formed above the input and output waveguides. Optical coupling between this upper waveguide and the input/output waveguides is controlled by an electrical or optical signal. The upper waveguide has a corner mirror at the intersection. When the control signal allows, light couples from the input waveguide to the upper waveguide. After being reflected by the corner mirror, the light couples from the upper waveguide into the output waveguide. The upper waveguide incorporates the active switching element. Allowing high modulation depth and low crosstalk level.

Title: Monoclonal antibody against protein C
Inventor: ESMON CHARLES T
IPC: C12P/
Filed: 1989-12-28
Granted: 1993-09-30
Abstract: A Ca<2+> dependent monoclonal antibody that specifically binds to a specific twelve peptide sequence (E D Q V D P R L I D G K) in the activation region of the protein C. The antibody does not bind to activated protein C and can be used to inhibit activation of protein C by thrombin-thrombomodulin. The antibody can be isolated from cell culture or ascites fluid in large quantities by affinity chromatography with mild conditions using the peptide bound to an immobilized substrate. The antibody has a number of specific uses in isolation and characterization of protein C and as a model for the design of Ca<2+> dependent antibodies for the isolation of other proteins, as a diagnostic, and as a therapeutic to prevent activation of protein C. The protein c can be naturally produced or produced by expression of the recombinant gene. Advantages of the antibody in purification of protein C include the specificity for protein C and not activated protein C, and the unique Ca<2+>-peptide binding specificity which allows the binding site to be protected when it is being immobilized on the chromatographic support. In vivo, the antibody has been demonstrated to inhibit tumor growth. The antibody can also be used to promote clotting in patients having high levels of Factor VIII inhibitors.

Title: Method of producing thin, poorly soluble coatings
Inventor: FISCHER CHRISTIAN-HERBERT
IPC: H01L31/18
Filed: 2000-04-06
Granted: 2003-02-27
Abstract: For making ceramic or oxidic layers (CL/OL) on substrates (S), the method according to the invention therefore provides that following application (I) and drying (II) of a suitable precursor (P) the formed precursor layer (PLD) is gassed (III) with a moist reactant gas (RG) for conversion into a corresponding hydroxide or complex layer (HL) and then thermally treated (IV) for forming a ceramic or oxidic layer (CL/OL). For the alternative production of other chalcogenidic layers of increased material conversion additional gassing is carried out with a reactant gas containing chalcogen hydrogen. Metallic layers may alternatively be made by use of a reducing reactant gas. The methods in accordance with the invention may be used wherever surfaces, even those of shaded structures, must be protected or modified or provided with functional layers, particularly in solar and materials technology.

Title: Variable stroke free piston engine
Inventor: BRAUN ANTON
IPC: F01B11/02
Filed: 1985-10-10
Granted: 1989-02-09
Abstract: A free piston engine includes speed control means which provide a wide range of engine speed control for selective connection and use of the engine with any one of a number of different types of energy absorbing devices. The desired control is achieved by use of two bounce chambers (18p and 18n) and a double-acting bounce piston unit (16) specifically located at an intermediate position along the axis of reciprocation of the piston rod assembly of such an engine, i.e. between a power piston (15) at one end of the piston rod and a connecting means at the other piston rod end for driving connection of the piston rod assembly with a movable member (e.g. reciprocating compressor piston (34) or reciprocating electric generator member) of the selected energy absorbing device. The control means further includes at least one pair of variably adjustable bounce chamber pressure control valves (23 and 24), one for each bounce chamber. Each control valve of such one pair provides for and controls a direct connection of its respective bounce chamber to ambient atmospheric air outside the bounce chamber. The controls further include sensing means (37) responsive to changes in demands on or operation of the selected energy absorbing device for variably and substantially simultaneously adjusting each control valve of such one pair and thereby similarly changing (i.e. both upwardly or both downwardly) the respective bounce chamber working pressures. Other bounce pressure control features are also described.
