Abstract: The invention relates to a magnetic suspension device with mechanical stabilization, for use especially with models, toys or design objects. The aim of the invention is to provide a simple and economical device which allows for an object to be suspended at a relatively great height in a permanent and stationary manner and without apparent support. To this end the weight (4) of an object (1) is overcome by uncontrolled magnetic repulsion (5) and the position of the suspended object (1) is stabilized by means of mechanical tensile forces (6) which are transmitted from the suspended object (1) downwards to the lower body (2) by, for example, thin thread (7). This invention allows for the magnetic suspension of, for example, model airplanes or design objects.

Abstract: A stent (10) has a generally tubular shape and is initially formed in a collapsed configuration. A fabric cover (13) is provided for an inner stent (11) and is attached outside stent (10) at one or more desired locations. Fabric cover (13) is much larger in diameter than the diameter of the collapsed stent, however, when stent (10) is expanded through activation of a balloon catheter (25) therewithin, stent (10) expands to closely conform to the interior walls of fabric cover (13). The attachment of fabric cover (13) to stent (10) may be accomplished in several ways. In the preferred embodiment, fabric cover (13) may be attached outside inner stent (11) at one linear location (15) parallel to a longitudinal axis of stent (10). In an alternative embodiment, fabric cover (13) may be attached concentrically about inner stent (11) and secured in that configuration by a series of sutures.

IPC: C08B15/10
Filed: 1998-11-10
Abstract: Novel methods are described to synthesize chromatography media. The methods describe a crosslinking procedure utilizing the catalytic effect of MnO(OH)2 in obtaining a very rigid matrix. The mechanism of crosslinking is likely of free-radical type. This is also suggested by the concurrent functionalization steps which are known to be of free-mechanism and are greatly enhanced by MnO(OH)2. The methods are simple and efficient as crosslinking and functionalization of the matrix takes place in the same step. High protein binding capacities are obtained along with an increased efficiency of the matrix. One particularly preferred process according to the present invention comprises: (1) reacting a polymeric carbohydrate matrix with an activating reagent which contains a halogen atom or epoxide and a double bond under alkaline conditions to generate an activated matrix; (2) reacting the activated matrix having double bonds inserted with a reagent or reagents produding MnO(OH)2; and (3) activating the double bond in the presence of MnO(OH)2 to crosslink the matrix and simultaneously derivatize the matrix with a halohydrin, carboxyl or sulfonate group.
