Title: Process for preparing {l}- or {d}-homoalanin-4-yl- (methyl)phosphinic acid and salts thereof by racemate resolution
Inventor: KNORR HARALD
IPC: C07C227/36

Abstract: The title compounds are obtained by racemate resolution of D,L-homoalanin-4-yl(methyl)phosphinic acid via precipitation of one of the diastereomeric salts using chiral bases such as quinine or cinchonine. It is possible to increase the yield of desired enantiomer by transformed racemate resolution when the precipitation of the diastereomeric salt takes place with the racemization of the undesired enantiomer in the presence of (hetero)-aromatic aldehydes. The racemization method is also suitable for structurally different optically active amino acids.

Title: Stent with variable wall thickness
Inventor: KULA JOHN S
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2000-04-07
Granted: 2003-12-18
Abstract: A stent is made flexible along its length. The stent initially starts as a metal sheet. It is rolled in its central region to a specified wall thickness. Thereafter, the stent is photochemically etched to produce the desired cell pattern of the design of the stent. Then, the stent is folded and the metal is joined to give rise to a stent with multiple wall thickness. For instance, larger wall thicknesses at the end of the stent versus smaller wall thicknesses at its center. Various other possible manufacturing methods are useful with respect to this stent. The stent can also be produced in an initial tube shape. The tube can be etched several times to get varying wall thickness. <IMAGE>

Date Apr. 29, 1993A method and apparatus for correcting refractive errors of the eye are disclosed. Accelerated reshaping of the corneal tissue is accomplished by administering one or more enzymes and/or other agents to the eye which temporarily soften the cornea. The cornea is thereafter fitted with a rigid contact lens or a series of lenses which have a concave curvature that will correct a refractive error. The softened cornea then rapidly reshapes its convex curvature to the concave curvature of the contact lens or series of lenses, thereby rendering the eye emmetropic. The enzymes and/or other agents then dissipate from the cornea, and the cornea "hardens" to retain the new emmetropic shape. After "hardening" has occurred, the lens rendering the eye emmetropic is removed.

The absorbent unit is provided along its longitudinal edges (9) with liquid-impermeable folds (6) which are upstanding from the inner casing sheet and which form side-leakage barriers. The article has a side-flap (18) on each side of the absorbent unit (1). The side-flaps (18), optionally with associated edge (21, 23), are produced in the form of rectangular strips (10) completely separated from the absorbent unit (1) and are thereafter jointed thereto. A longitudinally extending edge-part (13) of each strip (10) is suitably folded double and the backwardly fold part (19) is joined to the outer casing sheet (3a, 4b or 4) of the absorbent unit (1)along a curved fastening line (21).
