Inventor: CARSON DEAN
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2001-08-10
Abstract: Methods and devices for forming an anastomosis between hollow bodies utilize magnetic force to couple anastomotic components (360, 362) and connect the lumens of the hollow bodies. End-to-side, side-to-side and end-to-end anastomoses can be created with or without a mechanical connection between the components (360, 362). The securing components (360, 362) have the ability to produce a magnetic field and may include materials or assemblies. A component (278, 280) may also be used to form a port into the lumen of a vessel, the component (278, 280) being attached to the vessel by mechanical and/or magnetic means. Magnetic components (278, 280) may include means (282, 284) for concentrating the magnetic flux between respective components (278, 280) to increase the attraction force, thereby enhancing the security of the anastomosis. Components (398, 400) having an occlusion surface may be used to close an opening in tissue, e.g., an atrial septal defect.

Title: Apparatus and method for optical communication protection
Inventor: RYAN DARRYL C
IPC: H04B10/275
Filed: 2001-07-19
Abstract: Protection techniques within optical communication networks are extremely important. An alternative to a line protection scheme, as most current optical communication networks use, is to utilize a path protection technique in which working and protection paths that are desired are assigned during network setup. During normal operations, only the working path is configured within the network elements' switch fabric with protection paths being left unconfigured. If a failure indication is detected in the working path by a network element, a protection entry within a routing table of the network element is looked up to determine protection switching data that is required to switch the data traffic to the pre-assigned protection path. This protection switching data is inserted within the path overhead for the data traffic so that it can be communicated to all of the network elements that require their switch fabrics reconfigured to establish the protection path of communications. This protection technique allows for similar switching speed to that of line switching protection such as BLSR designs, but with an increase in efficiency in terms of protection bandwidth.

Title: Synthesis of chiral intermediates useful in preparing pharmacologically active compounds
Inventor: TIKARE RAVEENDRA KHANDURAO
IPC: C12P13/04
Filed: 2001-11-21
Abstract: A process is disclosed for preparing (R)-2-hydroxy-4-phenylbutyronitrile of formula (I) wherein * signifies the (R) stereoisomer; and Ph is the phenyl group C6H5, which process comprises reacting, in a biphasic system, 3- phenylpropionaldehyde of formula (X): with a cyanide compound in the presence of (R)-hydroxynitrilase, wherein the reaction is carried out a temperature below (10)~C. Preferably, the reaction is carried out at a temperature in the range of from -(5)~ to (0)~C. The compounds of formula (I) thereby prepared are useful in the preparation of the family of ACE inhibitors known as 'prils', of the general formula (A): wherein R' is hydrogen or C1-C2 alkyl and R'' is selected from a large number of possible moieties. Example of "prils" include lisinopril, cilazapril, enalapril, benazepril, ramipril, delapril, enalaprilat, imidapril, spirapril, trandolapril and others. These 'prils' compounds are chiral compounds, only one of their diastereomers being pharmacologically active. Use of a chiral intermediate (I) thereby avoids the necessity to isolate and purify the active 'pril' diastereomer, rather than using a racemic mixture, for pharmaceutical/medical applications.
