Title: Use of therapeutic dosages for nitric oxide donors which do not significantly lower blood pressure or pulmonary artery pressure
Inventor: STAMLER JONATHAN S
IPC: A61P21/00
Filed: 2002-08-26
Abstract: Patients with pathologic conditions involving constriction or proliferation of smooth muscle or disease associated with cysteine containing proteins, or wh o are at risk for such, are administered a therapeutically effective amount of a nitric oxide (NO) donor which is insufficient to acutely lower mean arterial blood pressure or pulmonary artery pressure by more than 10%. In one subgenu s, NO donor is administered to modify red blood cell membrane receptors to prevent red blood cells from causing vasoconstriction. A related method whic h allows increased dosage of NO donor without acutely lowering mean arterial blood pressure comprises administering the NO donor into an artery of the patient. In another method, patients having a cardiovascular syndrome, or wh o are at risk for such, are administered a therapeutically effective amount of thiol which does not acutely affect blood pressure to a significant degree.< /SDOAB>

Inventor: LOCKWOOD FRANCES E
IPC: D01F9/127
Filed: 2002-12-06
Abstract: The introduction of nanotubes in a liquid provides a means for changing the physical and/or chemical properties of the liquid. Improvements in heat transfer, electrical properties, viscosity, and lubricity can be realized up on dispersion of nanotubes in liquids; however, nanotubes behave like hydrophob ic particles and tend to clump together in liquids. Methods of preparing stable dispersions of nanotubes are described and surfactants/dispersants are identified which can disperse carbon nanotubes in aqueous and petroleum liqu id medium. The appropriate dispersant is chosen for the carbon nanotube and the water or oil based medium and the dispersant is dissolved into the liquid medium to form a solution. The carbon nanotube is added to the dispersant containing the solution with agitation, ultrasonication, and/or combinations thereof.

Title: Optimized digital media delivery engine
Inventor: OESTERREICHER RICHARD T
IPC: G06F15/16
Filed: 2003-04-14
Abstract: A digital media delivery engine (300) adapted to store content in a media buffer (325) dynamically generates wire data packets for transmission over a network. The digital media delivery engine (320) eliminates the redundant copying of data and the shared 1/O bus, bottlenecks typically found in a general-purpose PC. The digital media delivery engine is adapted to generate and deliver UDP/IP packets without requiring storage of an entire UDP datagr am payload in a buffer while the UDP checksum is calculated. The checksum is dynamically calculated while IP packets that encapsulate payload data are generated and transmitted. After the payload of an entire UDP datagram has been encapsulated, the UDP checksum and other portions of the UDP header are then encapsulated in an IP packet and transmitted over the network.

Title: Boot with extendable sleeve
Inventor: GERSTNER MICHEL
IPC: A43B1/10
Filed: 2004-11-22
Abstract: The invention provides improved waterproof boots. This invention will cover rubber, winter and hiking boots.        The rubber boot will have a pocket along the top part of the lip. The pocket will be molded to the outside of the boot. The part of the pocket molded to the boot will be made of rubber, and part of the boot mold. The outside fabric or material of the pocket will be two and a half inches wide and one inch thick. This pocket will have an opening pieced together with Velcro. The opening will be at the top of the pocket and comes apart along the whole lip of the pocket. Once the flab is apart, it is to flip down, revealing an inside zipper. This zipper is at the front of the boot.   The zipper unzips in the middle of the pocket. It is to follow the pocket all the way around the boot. Once the zipper has made a full circle and reached back to the starting point it will fully open the pocket. In this pocket there is to be a 100% waterproof and/or water resistant sleeve.   This sleeve is to be molded to the inside of the pocket. The sleeve is to be rolled up the leg. The sleeve is to work up to the groin on the inside of the leg, and up to the hip on the outside of the leg. The outside of the sleeve will roll up to just below the belt line; where it will have a Velcro strap sewn to the top. This Velcro strap is sewn to the top of the outside of the sleeve. The Velcro strap is to be wrapped around a belt or through the belt loop, where it is then bonded. This strap is to insure that the sleeve remains up and in place. At the bottom of the sleeve, approximately two inches up from where the sleeve is molded to the inside of the pocket, there is a Velcro strip that encircles the entire le g on the sleeve. This Velcro strip is to have the bottom flap of the pocket (which already has a Velcro strip) bond to the sleeve. This will enclose the pocket therefore protecting the zipper. At the top of the sleeve, on the inside of the leg just below the groin, there is a seam three quarters of an inch wide and thicker than the sleeve, that will be sewn to the sleeve. The seam is to run around the leg. The higher portion of the sleeve that is connected to the hip is to be flipped down over the seam. The seam is a guide so that when rolling down your sleeve, it will form a straight ring to tuck back into the pocket.      The pocket is then sealed.

The medical devices may be coated with any number of biocompatible materials. Therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may be mixed with the biocompatible materials and affixed to at least a portion of the medical device. These therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may also further reduce a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds may be utilized to promote healing, including the formation of blood clots. Also, the devices may be modified to promote endothelialization. Various materials and coating methodologies may be utilized to maintain the drugs, agents or compounds on the medical device until delivered and positioned. In addition, the devices utilized to deliver the implantable medical devices may be modified to reduce the potential for damaging the implantable medical device during deployment. Medical devices include stents, grafts, anastomotic devices, perivascular wraps, sutures and staples. In addition, various polymer combinations may be utilized to control the elution rates of the therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds from the implantable medical devices.
