Abstract: Articles, particularly containers and packaging materials, having a starch-bound cellular matrix reinforced with substantially uniformly dispersed fibers and methods for manufacturing the articles. High strength articles that have adequate flexibility and toughness immediately or very shortly after being demolded without the need for subsequent conditioning are molded from compositions having a starch-based binder and fibers that are uniformly dispersed by means of a high yield stress fluid fraction within the starch-based composition. In a two-step mixing process, a preblended mixture is formed by gelating a portion of the starch-based binder or other thickening agent in water to form a liquid phase having high yield stress into which the fibers are substantially uniformly dispersed. At least some of the fibers preferably have an average length of at least about 2 mm and an aspect ratio of at least about 25:1. The remaining starch-based binder, water, and other desired admixtures, such as mold-release agents, inorganic fillers, rheology-modifying agents, plasticizers, integral coating or sealing materials, and dispersants, are added to the preblended mixture to form a moldable starch-based composition, which is molded between heated molds to produce form-stable articles having a desired shape and a selectively controlled foamed structural matrix. Such articles can replace articles presently made from conventional materials like paper, paperboard, polystyrene, plastic, or other organic-based materials and have especial utility in the mass-production of containers, particularly food and beverage containers. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A balloon catheter and stent delivery system for medical treatment of a patient includes a balloon inflatable to an inflated shape having a cylindrical working portion, and a deflated shape that is temporarily reformed to enhance longitudinal retention of the stent while the catheter system is advanced or withdrawn. The balloon catheter provides for uniform expansion of the stent when the balloon is inflated. In addition, the balloon catheter system can be modified to initiate partial inflation of the proximal and distal ends of the stent, to further resist longitudinal motion of the stent during inflation, and to facilitate more effective tacking of the stent. One possible feature of the catheter system is that the balloon is pleated in a particular pattern when deflated, whereby the central balloon portion carrying the stent has a greater number of pleats than the pillow portions proximal and distal of the stent. Another possible feature is the formation of small channels that facilitate fluid communication from the proximal end of the balloon to the distal end, even when the balloon is deflated. The balloon may be formed to protrude partially outward among the stent interstices while in its deflated state, further enhancing stent position retention. The present invention also protects the leading or distal end of the stent during advancement, and protects the proximal end of the stent during any withdrawal of the catheter system.

Abstract: A method for processing audio signals optimizes the listening experience for hearing impaired listeners, as well as non-hearing impaired listeners, without forcing hearing impaired individuals to feel stigmatized by requiring them to employ special hearing-impaired equipment. A user actuated controller controls a mixture of a preferred audio signal and a remaining audio signal across a range sufficiently wide enough to encompass all individuals. The preferred audio is recorded and maintained separate from all remaining audio and delivered to the listener in a manner that maintains the separateness of the preferred audio and the remaining audio. The user actuated controller includes the capability of automatically maintaining the listener established ratio in the face of changes in the audio signal. The user actuated controller enables the user to specify a range about the ratio in which the audio may vary, which permits the listener to expand the audio across a continuous range to whatever dynamic range his hearing can accommodate. The controller automatically adjusts to changes in incoming audio. The controller can react to relatively slowly moving changes or prevent short bursts of sound in the remaining audio from modifying the signal levels. The combination of the above aspects provides a heretofore not possible listening experience that can accommodate the listening desires of all listeners. The combination of the ability to control the ratio of preferred audio to remaining audio and to specify the dynamic range about the ratio in which the audio may vary, coupled with the ability of the controller to automatically adjust the signal levels in response to sudden changes in incoming audio, provides a powerful user capability that truly optimizes the listening experience for any listener.

Abstract: An opening is made in a resin (20) with a laser to form a viahole. A copper foil (22) etched into a thin film (3 νm) to lower the heat conductivity is used as a conformal mask, thereby making an opening (20a) in the resin (20) by fewer times of irradiation with a pulse laser beam. This prevents formation of any undercut in the resin (20) on which an interlayer resin-insulating layer is to be formed, enabling improvement in the connection reliability of the viahole.
