Abstract: Provided are silane copolymers formed from one or more polyisocyanates, one or more organo-functional silanes and one or more lubricious polymers having at least two functional groups. The silane copolymers are prepared by reacting one or more polyisocyanates with one or more lubricious polymers having at least two functional groups, which may be the same or different, that are reactive with an isocyanate functional group and with one or more organo-functional silanes having at least two functional groups, which may be the same or different, that are reactive with an isocyanate functional group, and at least one functional group reactive with a silicone rubber substrate. The silane copolymers are useful as coatings for polysiloxane (rubber) and other difficult to coat substrates, especially for medical devices, such as catheters.

Date Dec. 28, 1989.A mop (12) is wrung by means of a mop wringer (10) comprising a housing (50), a pair of rotatable, wringing rollers (68, 70) having resilient roller bodies. At least one of the rollers (70) is movable between an inactive position, in which the rollers (70, 68) are out of contact with one another and in spaced apart relationship, and an active position in which the rollers (68, 70) are in contact with one another and further pressed against the mop (12). The movable roller (70) is moved from its inactive position by the interaction between an L-shaped arm (72), which is caused to swing by means of a handle (90), by means of an arm assembly (96) or by means of a motor (106). The L-shaped arm (72) interacts with a cam surface of a further L-shaped arm (74), on which the movable roller (70) is journalled. After the movable roller (70) has been brought into contact with and presses against the non-movable roller (68) and the mop (12), the movable roller (70) is maintained in its active position by means of a cam surface of the first mentioned L-shaped arm (72). The movable roller (70) is further caused to rotate by means of teeth of the first mentioned L-shaped arm (72), which teeth mesh with a toothed wheel of the movable roller (70).

Filed: 1992-10-15
Granted: 1994-04-14
Abstract: An endoscopic clip applying system as described which contains a venting system and a clip applying support system which prevents closure of the mechanism before firing. The applier's jaws are spaced apart no further than the width of the applier shaft, even when holding a clip. Also, the system ensures proper loading of the clips and prevents them from falling out during loading. Further, the system describes an easily manufacturable, positively opening system which has minimized size requirements. Furthermore, a lock-out mechanism is provided so that the mechanism may not be inadvertently fired. The shaft resists excessive torque as well as holds the clip in place during firing. There are provisions for sealant and non back-up of the clips, as well as features which make the clip properly placed for closure. In an alternate embodiment, the clip applier shaft rotates about its handle mechanism.

Title: Winding up imbricated products
Inventor: STAUB SAMUEL
IPC: B65H39/14
Filed: 1984-11-02
Granted: 1988-03-03
Abstract: The printed products to be wound up are delivered by one belt conveyor of a conveying arrangement. The latter comprises two belt conveyors which conjointly form a conveying channel with a defined inlet and outlet. Conveyor belts of both of these two belt conveyors are guided such that the conveying channel has a curved path directed toward a rotatable winding mandrel. The conveying arrangement is pivotable about an axis of rotation of a drive drum of the innermost conveyor belt of the two conveyor belts and is pressed against the winding mandrel, respectively against the product coil or wound package forming on the winding mandrel, by a winding strap capable of being placed under tension and which is withdrawn from a winding strap supply roll and runs through a portion of the conveying channel and is connected with the winding mandrel. A separate contact or pressing mechanism can be forgone. The design of the conveying arrangement permits a compact construction and free choice of the delivery location of the printed products to the winding mandrel.

Title: Compositions of polyacids and polyethers and methods for their use in reducing adhesions
Inventor: SCHWARTZ HERBERT E
IPC: A61K47/36
Filed: 2000-03-23
Granted: 2004-12-23
Abstract: The present invention relates to improved methods for making and using bioadhesive, bioresorbable, anti-adhesion compositions made of intermacromolecular complexes of carboxyl-containing polysaccharides, polyethers, polyacids, polyalkylene oxides, multivalent cations and/or polycations. The polymers are associated with each other, and are then either dried into membranes or sponges, or are used as fluids or microspheres. Bioresorbable, bioadhesive, anti-adhesion compositions are useful in surgery to prevent the formation and reformation of post-surgical adhesions. The compositions are designed to breakdown in-vivo, and thus be removed from the body. Membranes are inserted during surgery either dry or optionally after conditioning in aqueous solutions. The anti-adhesion, bioadhesive, bioresorptive, antithrombogenic and physical properties of such membranes and gels can be varied as needed by carefully adjusting the pH and/or cation content of the polymer casting solutions, polyacid composition, the polyalkylene oxide composition, or by conditioning the membranes prior to surgical use. Multi-layered membranes can be made and used to provide further control over the physical and biological properties of antiadhesion membranes. Membranes and gels can be used concurrently. Antiadhesion compositions may also be used to lubricate tissues and/or medical instruments, and/or deliver drugs to the surgical site and release them locally.

Title: Biocidal chitin binding proteins
Inventor: BROEKAERT WILLEM FRANS
IPC: A01N37/46
Filed: 1993-10-22
Granted: 1997-04-17
Abstract: Biocidal proteins capable of isolation from seeds have been characterised. The proteins have an amino acid sequence containing the common cysteine/glycine domain of Chitin-binding Plant Proteins but show substantially better activity against pathogenic fungi, a higher ratio of basic amino acids to acidic amino acids, and/or antifungal activity which results in increased hyphal branching. Antimicrobial proteins isolated from Capsicum, Briza and related species are provided. The proteins show a wide range of antifungal activity and are active against Gram-positive bacteria. DNA encoding the proteins may be isolated and incorporated into vectors. Plants may be transformed with this DNA. The proteins find agricultural or pharmaceutical application as antifungal or antibacterial agents. Transgenic plants expressing the protein will show increased disease resistance.
