Title: Silicon-substituted apatites and process for the preparation thereof
Inventor: BEST SERENA MICHELLE
IPC: C01B25/32
Filed: 1997-08-29
Abstract: The present invention provides a synthetic silicon-substituted apatite or hydroxyapatite which comprises 0.1% to 5% by weight of silicon. The silicon-substituted apatite or hydroxyapatite may be used as a synthetic bone material for use in bone substitution, implants, fillers and cements, coatings for metallic implants, and for making hydroxyapatite-polymer composites. The silicon-substituted apatite is prepared by reacting a calcium salt or calcium hydroxide with orthophosphoric acid or a salt of orthophosphoric acid in the presence of a silicon-containing compound, the molar ratio of calcium ions to phosphorous-containing ions being from 1:0.5 to 1:0.7 and the molar ratio of calcium ions to silicon-containing ions being at least 1:0.2, whereby a precipitate of a silicon-substituted apatite is formed. On heating and/or sintering the silicon-substituted apatite at a temperature of from 500° C. to 1400° C. part or substantially all of the silicon-substituted apatite transforms to silicon-substituted hydroxyapatite.

Abstract: Disclosed are devices and methods for the clinical analysis of a sperm sample. The devices comprise a solid substrate, typically on the order of a few millimeters thick and approximately 0.2 to 2.0 centimeters square, microfabricated to define a sample inlet port (16A) and a mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) extending from the inlet port (16A). In one embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port (16A), and the competitive migration of the sperm sample through the mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) is detected to serve as an indicator of sperm motility. In another embodiment, the substrate of the device is microfabricated with a sperm inlet port (16A), an egg nesting chamber (16B), and an elongate mesoscale flow channel (20, 40) communicating between the egg nesting chamber (16B) and the inlet port (16A). In this embodiment, a sperm sample is applied to the inlet port, and the sperm in the sample is permitted to competitively migrate from the inlet port (16A) through the channel (20, 40) to the egg nesting chamber (16B), where in vitro fertilization occurs. The devices of the invention may be used in a wide range of applications in the analysis of a sperm sample, including the analysis of sperm morphology or motility, to assess sperm binding properties, and for in vitro fertilization.

IPC: F16B31/02
Filed: 1986-02-10
Abstract: Axially-extending troughs (22) in a bark (18) of an internally threaded collar (10,200) receive setting balls (32) of a driver (30) that apply a torque to the collar (10,200) through the balls (32) bearing on the walls of the troughs (22).

Abstract: A mail bag has supports (10) adjacent its mouth, each comprising a generally flat elongate (12) part fixed to the bag fabric with its longitudinal axis generally parallel to the edge of the bag mouth and having attachment means by means of which in use the bag is supported. The attachment means may comprise apertured attachment members (14) formed integrally at one or more locations along the length of the elongate parts on edges thereof to extend generally normally away therefrom. In one arrangement (Fig. 2) the bag has four supports, each elongate part being in length substantially a quarter the length of the edge of the bag mouth and the attachment members being formed substantially at the midpoints thereof. In another arrangement the bag may have two supports each elongate part being in length substantially a half the length of the edge of the bag mouth and foldable at its midpoint and the attachment members being formed at respective locations substantially midway between the ends and midpoint of the elongate part. The elongate parts may be located in a hem at the bag mouth with the attachment member passing through an aperture in the hem. Alternatively the elongate part are directly fixed - sewn - onto the bag fabric as the bag is made. The supports may be of moulded plastics material - advantageously of the same material (polypropylene) from which the bag fabric is woven. A support for use in making a mail bag is claimed as is a method of making a bag - which method may include the use of bag fabric with woven differently coloured stripes (22) spaced to enable the ready correct positioning of the elongate parts on the bag fabric.

Title: Naso-gastric tube retainer
Inventor: BIERMAN STEVEN F
IPC: A61M25/02
Filed: 1998-01-26
Abstract: An adhesive device retains a medical tube, and particularly a naso-gastric tube, in relation to a patient with improved flexibility, strength and adhesion. The device includes a nose pad portion for attaching to a patient's nose and a tube attachment section for attaching to the naso-gastric tube. A substantially inelastic spine extends across a narrow or otherwise vulnerable neck portion, which connects the nose pad to the tube attachment section. The spine strengthens the retaining device against tensile and shear forces while allowing flexibility. At the same time, deflection of the spine does not cause internal elastic stresses sufficient to counter adhesion of the retainer to either the patient or the medical tube.

Date Feb. 21, 1991.The fixed-direction jet units (1) of a whirlpool-bath system each include a nozzle (18) for supplying water under pressure from a tube-section (17) to an outlet (12) across an air gap (20) within a chamber (19). The unit (1) is clamped to the bath-wall (14) between a flange (16) of the outlet (12) and the unit housing (15). The flow of water from the nozzle (18) across the gap (20) into the axially-aligned stem (13) of the outlet (12) draws air into the chamber (19) from an inlet pipe (21) that is coupled to a distribution manifold (7) of an air-supply controller (9) by an individual supply tube (8). A circumferential skirt (22) projects backwardly from the stem (13) to shroud the gap (20) over a frusto-conical nose-part (23) of the nozzle (18), so that air is constricted to enter the gap (20) through the annular space (24) between them. The constriction evens out air flow around the stream of water from the nozzle (18), enhancing small-bubble distribution in the stream and the consequent foaming and turbulence of the jet discharged from the outlet (12). The cross-sectional area of the pathway for air between the nozzle nose-part (23) and the skirt (22) increases towards the gap (20), but may be substantially uniform.
