Abstract: Porous polymers having a plurality of openings or chambers that are highly convoluted, with each chamber being defined by multiple, thin, flat partitions are produced by a new gel enhanced phase separation techinque. In a preferred embodiment, a second solven t is added to a ploymer solution, the second solvent causing the solution to gel. The gel can then be shaped as needed.  Subsequent solvent extraction leaves the porous polymeric body of defined shape. The porous polymers have utility as medical protheses, t he porosity permitting ingrowth of neighboring tissue. The present technique also enhances shape-making capability, for example, of bifurcated vascular grafts, which feature a common entrance re gion but two or more exit regions.

Title: Method and apparatus for determining supercritical pressure in a heat exchanger
Inventor: FROSTICK ALICIA
IPC: F25B9/00
Filed: 2004-09-20
Abstract: A method and apparatus to determine the pressure of a supercritical refrigerant within a heat exchanger of a transcritical vapor compression system. A plurality of measurements, e.g., temperature, are obtained at spaced locations on the heat exchanger and the location of the minimum temperature gradient, i.e., maximum specific heat value of the refrigerant, is determined ("the inflection point"). Obtaining the refrigerant temperature at the inflection point allows the refrigerant pressure to be determined. Alternatively, the temperature of the refrigerant at a second point can be determined together with the change in specific enthalpy between the inflection point and the second point to thereby determine the pressure of the refrigerant. The system can be regulated by controlling the location of the inflection point or by controlling the temperature difference of the refrigerant at the inflection point and a second point, e.g., the outlet of the heat exchanger.
