Abstract: An implant having a coating comprising a polymer matrix is swollen in a pharmaceutical solution whereby pharmaceutically active compound is imbibed into the polymer matrix. When the product is implanted, release of the pharmaceutically active compound from the coating takes place. The polymer is preferably formed from ethylenically unsaturated monomers including a zwitterionic monomer, most preferably 2-methacryloyloxyethyl-2′-trimethylammoniumethyl-phosphate inner salt. The monomers from which the polymer is formed may further include surface binding monomers, such as hydrophobic group containing monomers, and crosslinkable monomers, the content of which may be used to control the swellability. Preferably the implant is a stent and the coating of polymer on the exterior wall surface is thicker than the coating of polymer on the interior surface. Release of the drug may be controlled by selection of comonomers. The implant is suitably a stent for use in the cardiovascular system.

Abstract: The mechanical separation of drilling fluid and a completion fluid by swag cups (86, 88) is used in combination with a casing scraper (90, 92) and movement of the tubing (18) to clean up a wellbore. In a first embodiment, reverse circulation is used placing a completion fluid above swab cups (86, 88) and lowering the pipe (18) to displace a drilling fluid. In a second embodiment, in combination with a casing scraper (90, 92), a completion fluid is pumped into an annulus located below swab cups (86, 88) and the drilling fluid is displaced from above the swab cups (86, 88) by raising the tubing (18). Alternately, large swab cups (360, 362) are shearingly secured in combination with smaller swab cups (370, 372) and casing scraper (380) allowing the apparatus to be used with progressively smaller diameter casing (310) during the same operation of the apparatus.

Abstract: A turbo decoder employing the sliding window algorithm is computational intensive. Computational requirements are reduced in iterative decoders, at the expense of increased memory usage, by storing the stakes between iterations. The stakes used in this improved sliding windows algorithm can be compressed, resulting in a decoder with minimal additional memory requirements, while retaining the advantages in computational requirements obtained from storing the stakes between iterations.

Abstract: Interworking of optical protection in an optical network and IP-layer protection in the Internet is achieved by configuring optical links to form a part of a ring network and by arranging different protection types for different links. Each optical link is provided with an appropriate protection level corresponding to the nature of Internet traffic being transmitted over the link. The highest protection level is achieved with 1+1 protection. The optical layer can offer this protection for high priority Internet traffic that does not tolerate delay. The middle and the low protection level are achieved with 1:1 protection. The low protection level of a link does not guarantee uninterrupted transmission of the Internet traffic, in case of link failure caused by a fiber cut. Optical signaling at the optical layer takes care of protection wherein the IP-layer does not know when protection actions are carried out. At the IP layer different quality-of-service parameters are assigned to the optical links of different priority. Then routers create different routing tables for different quality-of-service classes.

Abstract: The present invention provides variants of precursor phenol oxidizing enzymes. The precursor enzymes can be, for example, naturally-occurring or recombinant phenol oxidizing enzymes. The variant enzymes, in general, are obtained by modification of a precursor DNA sequence encoding the naturally-occurring or recombinant phenol oxidizing enzyme to generate the substitution of one or more amino acids in the encoded amino acid sequence. Variant enzymes are disclosed having properties which differ from those of their respective precursor enzymes, e.g., altered pH optima and/or phenol oxidizing activity and/or altered stability. The variant enzymes of the present invention are especially useful in detergent formulations, for example, to modify (bleach) the color associated with colored compounds.
