Title: Door hinge with built-in door stopper
Inventor: KWAN JESSE MAN-LUNG
IPC: E05F5/06
Filed: 2000-01-31
Abstract: This present invention is a door hinge with a built-in doorstopper that restricts the degree of rotation of the door thereby preventing the door from striking nearby wall and fixtures. The doorstopper is manufactured as a part of the center pin that holds the opposing leaflets of the door hinge together. The hinge leaflet that is mounted to the doorjamb contains a notch in its upper embodiment that holds the doorstopper and center pin in place. The opposing leaflet that is mounted to the door will come into contact with the doorstopper when opened to a certain degree, thus preventing the door from swinging open any further. This door hinge with built-in doorstopper is designed to replace the need for installing any other add on hardware that is presently used as a conventional door stopping device.

Title: Prostheses with associated growth factors
Inventor: KELLY SHEILA J
IPC: A61F2/04
Filed: 1999-01-21
Abstract: A polypeptide growth factor is associated with a substrate to promote population of the substrate with endothelial cells. A prosthesis is formed with growth factor crosslinked to the substrate. Preferred polypeptide growth factors include VEGF. VEGF treated tissue can be populated with endothelial cells in vitro and/or in vivo. In an alternative approach, VEGF can be associated with the substrate by direct contact with a VEGF solution, application of the VEGF with an adhesive as a coating to the substrate, or chemical binding of the VEGF to the substrate with or without an intervening linker molecule. In one preferred approach, the growth factor is associated with the substrate by crosslinking under suitably mild conditions such that the growth factor is active following the crosslinking process.
