Title: Methods for placement of balloon tamponade devices
Inventor: ZIMMON DAVID S
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 1993-11-30
Abstract: Balloon tamponade devices for treating bleeding sites within the upper digestive tract (e.g. esophageal or upper gastric bleeding sites, or duodenal, pyloric or distal gastric bleeding sites) comprise a tube having proximal and distal open ends and at least one inflatable balloon mounted over the tube. Preferably, two balloons are mounted over the tube, and inflation lumens are provided for each. A bridle is attached to the tube, and is adapted to extend up the esophagus to allow the device to be secured in place having the proximal open end of the tube positioned within the digestive tract to allow for normal feeding and swallowing functions. A method for placing a balloon tamponade device as generally described above is also described. The device is backloaded onto an endoscope by passing the endoscope through the open ends of the tube. The endoscope is then passed through the mouth and down the esophagus and used to examine the esophagus and/or other portions of the digestive tract to determine whether or not treatment is required. If treatment is required, the device is advanced along the endoscope and down the esophagus, and the balloon(s) of the device is (are) positioned and inflated to treat the bleeding sites. The endoscope is used to check positioning and then withdrawn. Thereafter, the bridal can be positioned through the nose and connected to a traction device. Methods for delivering detachable coatings to bleeding sites for treatment thereof are also described.

Patent AU-5345296-A (AU)
Title: Screw cap
Inventor: JORDI HANS ULRICH
IPC: B65D41/34
Filed: 1996-05-06
Abstract: The invention provides a safety seal device which includes a tear-off strip and a band section. The band section is subdivided into circular arc sections and U-shaped sections. The band section is provided with wedge-shaped locking elements. In addition, the band section is joined to the body of the screw cap via first breakaway webs. The U-shaped sections form spring elements in the band section thereby elastically suspending the locking elements. For this reason, the locking elements can elastically give when the screw cap is first screwed on, so that the safety closure cannot be plastically deformed when the screw cap is screwed on, which would jeopardize its security.

Title: Method for preparing 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane
Inventor: ACHORD BETTY JO
IPC: B01J27/135
Filed: 1993-12-17
Abstract: A more efficient reaction mechanism is provided for producing 1,1-dichloro-1-fluoroethane (HCFC-141b) by reacting vinylidene chloride with hydrogen fluoride in the liquid phase in the presence of a catalyst and a sulfone solvent or a nitroalkane or nitroarene solvent.

Title: Dynamic page generator
IPC: G06F40/143
Filed: 1998-06-04
Abstract: An custom page server is provided with user preferences organized into templates stored in compact data structures and the live data used to fill the templates stored local to the page server which is handing user requests for custom pages. One process is executed on the page server for every request. The process is provided a user template for the user making the request, where the user template is either generated from user preferences or retrieved from a cache of recently used user templates. Each user process is provided access to a large region of shared memory which contains all of the live data needed to fill any user template. Typically, the pages served are news pages, giving the user a custom selection of stock quotes, news headlines, sports scores, weather, and the like. With the live data stored in a local, shared memory, any custom page can be built within the page server, eliminating the need to make requests from other servers for portions of the live data. While the shared memory might include RAM (random access memory) and disk storage, in many computer systems, it is faster to store all the live data in RAM.
