Title: Folding of catheter-mounted balloons to facilitate non-rotational radial expansion of intraluminal devices
Inventor: DEHDASHTIAN MARK
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1999-08-03
Granted: 2001-12-20
Abstract: Methods for folding a catheter mounted balloon, and delivery catheter systems which incorporate radially expandable intraluminal devices (e.g., stents, grafts and stented grafts) which are mounted on a balloon folded in accordance with this method. The method comprises generally folding the balloon at least twice, in opposite directions, so that any rotational forces created by the unfolding of the balloon as it is inflated will counteract each other, and will thus avoid substantial rotational movement of the intraluminal device during its radial expansion.

Title: Melamine of improved purity produced by high-pressure, non-catalytic process
Inventor: BEST DAVID
IPC: C07D251/62
Filed: 1996-06-05
Granted: 1999-06-17
Abstract: A high-pressure, non-catalytic, process for producing melamine from urea wherein the melamine is recovered directly as a dry powder without washing or recrystallization is described. In the process, liquid melamine is fed to a cooling unit where it is quenched with liquid medium, preferably liquid ammonia. Increasing the pressure within the cooling unit to a pressure in excess of 41.4 bar (600 psi) and preferably to 82.7 to 96.5 bar (1200 to 1400 psi) provides melamine having a purity in excess of 99%.

Title: Water-in-oil dispersion and process for preparing such dispersion
Inventor: NORTON IAN TIMOTHY
IPC: C09K23/30
Filed: 1990-05-14
Granted: 1992-03-26
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with a process for preparing a dispersion comprising a continuous fat phase and a dispersed gelled aqueous phase, wherein a water-continuous composition, containing at least 1% gelatin by weight of water, is cooled from above the gel setting temperature of the water-continuous composition to below said gel setting temperature and subjected to such conditions of shear that the water-continuous composition is converted into small gelled aqueous beads, after which a fat-continuous dispersion is formed while maintaining the temperature at below the gel melting temperature. The process according to the invention offers the advantage that it enables the preparation of water-in-oil dispersions of extremely low fat content even when using aqueous phase compositions which in the ungelled state do not possess a high viscosity. Also the present process makes it possible to incorporate ingredients into the aqueous phase which, in the absence of a gelled structure, would promote and actually induce the formation of an oil-in-water dispersion. Another aspect of the present invention is a dispersion comprising less than 23% by weight of a continuous fat phase and a dispersed gelled aqueous phase containing gelatin at a concentration of 1 to 7 times its critical concentration and optionally a combination of one or more gelling agents other than gelatin at a concentration below their critical concentration.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method of providing thread locking within a multi-threading object-oriented computer program. Each object (400, 500, 600) includes a reserved lock word which is initially set to zero to indicate that the object is unlocked. When the object is to be locked, the word is changed to a pointer (630) which points to a particular memory block (710) within a separate lock pool (700). That memory block contains all the necessary locking information for the object. When the object is to be unlocked, the pointer (630) is deleted, and the lock word set back to zero. The corresponding block (710) in the lock pool is then released, and may be reused for other locking information or for other data that may be required to be stored by the executing application.
