Abstract: The present invention provides a biodegradable polymeric stent having a programmed pattern of in vivo degradation. When deployed, the stent comprises at least one substantially cylindrical element having two open ends and a plurality of regions circumferentially spaced around the cylindrical element and extending from one open end to the other open end of the cylindrical element. Each of the regions is configured or designed to have a desired in vivo lifetime. At least one of the regions is designed to have a shorter in vivo lifetime than the other region or regions so that when the stent is deployed within the lumen of a vessel of a patient, the cylindrical element acquires one or more fissures which extend from one open end of the cylindrical element to the other open end of the cylindrical element within a desired, predetermined period of time after the stent is deployed in the patient. In one preferred embodiment the stent is a formed from a biodegradable polymeric band comprising a head having a slot and a tongue comprising a catch or locking mechanism proximate the longitudinal edge thereof. The cylindrical element which has an inner and outer surface is formed by inserting a portion of the tongue through the slot to provide a cylindrical element having a first reduced diameterconfiguration. Following deployment, the cylindrical element is in a second expanded diameter configuration wherein the distal catch mechanism engages the inner surface of the head and prevents radial collapse or recoil of the polymeric stent. In a second preferred embodiment, the stent is formed from a plurality of interconnected polymeric bands each of which comprises a head having a slot and a tongue comprising a catch mechanism proximate the longitudinal edge thereof. The present invention also relates to a metho d of mounting the stents of the present invention on a balloon catheter. The method comprises heating the stent to temperature above the glass transition temperature of the polymer used to form the stent positioning the stent on a deflated balloon mounted on a catheter, and compressing the stent to a reduced diameter configuration to secure the stent to the balloon. The present invention also relates to an assembly which comprises the stent of the present invention mounted on a balloon catheter.

Abstract: A logging tool is disclosed having transmitting and receiving antennas to measure formation anisotropy. The antennas may preferably be combinations of toroidal, horizontal electric dipole, and horizontal magnetic dipole antennas. In one embodiment, the tool: (a) induces a current flow in the tubing or drill string traversing the formation in a borehole; (b) measures a signal difference between two receiver antennas on the drill string; (c) determines an apparent conductivity of the formation from the resistive component of the signal difference; and (d) uses the apparent conductivity to calculate an anisotropy coefficient with a knowledge of the horizontal conductivity. The tool may further determine a second apparent conductivity of the formation from the reactive component of the signal difference, and use both apparent conductivities to calculate the anisotropy coefficient and the horizontal conductivity. The vertical conductivity can also be determined from these two calculated values in the usual manner.

Title: Valve pin cross over nozzle
Inventor: RICK ROBERT
IPC: B29C45/20
Filed: 2002-10-09
Granted: 2010-12-14
Abstract: According to the present invention, a cross over nozzle is provided of two parts which, when joined, define a housing having a passage extending therethrough, a tapered valve seat extending about the passage and a valve member having a tapered valve head disposed in the passage for engaging the valve seat. The two parts are axially separable at an interface extending through the valve seat/valve head. In order to open the valve, both valve parts are first joined and then moved together as one member in the same direction relative to the housing axially away from the valve seat. Similarly, the valve members are jointly moved into engagement with the valve seat before the cross over nozzle is separated. Accordingly, unlike the valve gate design, the valve interface between the two parts of the valve head isn't exposed to molten resin and therefore molten resin isn't trapped therebetween to cause a string upon opening.
