Title: Implantable voltaic cell
Inventor: EPPS SPENCER J G
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 2007-05-07
Abstract: TThe invention provides a voltaic cell for implantation into the body of a subject that oxidizes oxidizable biological material to generate current to do work. The voltaic cell comprises a biologically inert shell having an inner compartment containing a cathodic environment and an anodic environment on the outer surface of the shell that is in contact with bodily fluid. A connector connects the anodic environment to the cathodic environment and has a component that provides resistance between the anodic and cathodic environments. The shell contains at least one salt bridge disposed within the shell that permits passage of small ions between the inner compartment and the bodily fluid, thereby completing the circuit.

Patent CA-2685377-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLLINS RODERICK
IPC: D21H17/67
Filed: 2008-06-04
Abstract: A continuous filler treatment process has been developed to enhance the fixation of anionic latex on filler in a short time. In this process anionic polymer dispersions (latex) are added to common papermaking filler slurries at ambient temperature and then mixed with water of temperature higher than the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the latex used. To efficiently fix the latex the temperature of the filler/latex mixture must be 30-60°C higher than the Tg of the latex used. The chemical composition of the resin and the type of surfactant used during the emulsion polymerisation process of the polymer latex dispersions are important factors for efficiently fixing the latex onto the filler by adding hot water and improving the properties of paper made with the treated filler. The enhanced fixation of anionic latex onto filler using hot water is done in mixing vessels that can control shear and mixing time. The anionic latexes applied by this process are totally and irreversibly fixed or bound onto the filler particles and the aggregated filler slurry is stable over time. The latex-treated filler slurry can be added to papermaking furnishes at any point prior to the headbox of the paper machine or stored for later use. It can be added to wood-free or wood-containing furnishes commonly used for making fine papers, mechanical pulp papers, and multi-ply paperboards. The latex-treated filler slurry improves filler retention, only slightly reduces sheet strength and improves sizing performance. Furthermore, latex-treated calcium carbonate filler, such as precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), is more acid-resistant and, when used in manufacturing mechanical pulp paper under neutral conditions, less acid is needed to control the pH.
