Filed: 1998-03-03
Abstract: There is disclosed a method of manufacturing a dielectric
filter in which the dielectric filter can be manufactured in a short time,
machining accuracy is raised and a cutting tool is prevented from
being easily damaged. First in a degreasing process (S1), a surface of
a porcelain element body 2 is cleaned. In a surface roughing process
(S2), in order to enhance the adhesion of a plating layer to be formed
later, the surface of the porcelain element body 2 is etched to form a
rough face. Subsequently, after a catalyzer layer is formed entirely
on the surface of the porcelain element body 2 (S3), a portion of the
catalyzer layer is removed with an ultrasonic cutter (S4). Then,
formed is a region on which an insulating region is to be formed.
Subsequently, in a plating process (S5), a conductive layer is formed
on a region other than the insulating region. The dielectric filter is
thus manufactured. Since the catalyzer layer is thin, it can be
removed in a short time, and is superior in productivity. The
ultrasonic cutter requires to provide only a small power. Therefore,
machining accuracy is enhanced, and the running cost can be reduced.

permit a slow transfer of nutritious substances to the ground.
These granular fertilizers are so homogeneous that optimum
results are obtained, especially when treating lawns. 
     In general, the present process contemplates that raw materials
coming from containers (1) according to predetermined doses
are poured into a mill (3). Then, the milled material reaches
a granulating device (4) to which unmilled urea granules
coming from another container (2) are directly and
simultaneously conveyed and therefore, the milled material
is mixed with the urea granules. 
     Moreover, additional binders (10) are inserted in the
granulating device. These binders may be for instance
substances that are chiefly made of lignin, sulphate, starch,
bentonite, sulphur, ureic glues.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for maintaining the integrity of smooth muscle, particularly vascular smooth muscle. Vascular diseases are characterized by an excessive build-up of vascular smooth muscle cells, resulting in an occlusion of a blood vessel, and/or by loss of elasticity in the blood vessels. Causes of blood vessel occlusion include smooth muscle cell proliferation and inflammatory responses. Inhibition of the proliferation of smooth muscle cells or inflammatory responses represents an effective treatment for vascular disorders, such as atherosclerosis and restenosis. Treatment may include administration of a morphogenic protein. The protein itself may be delivered to the site of vascular occlusion or the protein may be delivered by a vector, such as an adenoviral vector containing a DNA insert encoding a morphogenic protein. Such compositions and methods may also inhibit the responses of smooth muscle cells to various traumas, such as exposure to toxic agents. All of these treatmetns operate to preserve the cell phenotype by inhibiting an increase in extracellular matrix proteins, such as collagen, or by maintaining the normal balance of extracellular matrix proteins, such as Types I and III collagen.

Abstract: Cet appareil à usage médical est conçu pour isoler le coeur de la circulation sanguine générale tout en perfusant du sang oxygéné dans la circulation artérielle générale lors d'un pontage aorto-coronarien le moins effractif qui soit. Ce dispositif comporte un cathéter artériel pourvu d'un clapet de dérivation extérieur qui forme un point d'ancrage permettant de fixer l'extrémité distale à l'intérieur de la crosse aortique et qui forme également un goulet qui dérive le flux sanguin aortique antérograde depuis l'anneau aortique, le fait pénétrer dans un orifice distal, passer par une lumière interne du cathéter et sortir par un orifice intermédiaire le long du cathéter à proximité de du point d'ancrage de manière à le faire entrer dans la circulation artérielle générale. Un clapet intérieur distal situé à l'intérieur de la lumière, entre l'orifice distal et l'orifice intermédiaire, permet de faire cesser le flux sanguin aortique antérograde entre l'orifice distal et l'orifice intermédiaire, isolant, par le fait, le ventricule gauche de la circulation artérielle générale, le sang oxygéné pouvant alors être expulsé par une pompe de circulation extra-corporelle, passer distalement par la lumière interne susmentionnée et sortir par l'orifice intermédiaire. Ce dispositif comporte également un cathéter veineux aspirant le sang veineux depuis la veine cave et le faisant pénétrer dans la pompe de circulation extra-corporelle et sortir par l'orifice intermédiaire tout en isolant sensiblement les cavités cardiaques droites de la veine cave et ce, sans venir s'appliquer contre la partie interne de la paroi de cette veine cave. L'invention concerne également un dispositif à usage médical pourvu d'un cathéter artériel possédant un corps allongé se terminant par une extrémité distale et comprenant une lumière s'étendant entre l'orifice distal et l'orifice proximal ainsi qu'un ensemble d'isolation de l'aorte situé entre lesdits orifices. Cet ensemble d'isolation de l'aorte comporte des parties distale et proximale séparées par une zone d'isolation et réglables, ce qui permet de les déployer afin de les faire s'appliquer contre la paroi de l'aorte. Lorsque la zone intermédiaire est positionnée le long d'un site proximal d'anastomose de l'aorte, il est possible de déployer les parties distale et proximale de manière à les faire entrer en contact avec la paroi de l'aorte en amont et en aval du site d'anastomose. Le sang s'écoulant dans l'aorte qui est, de la sorte, isolé de ce site le long de la zone intermédiaire, est dérivé à partir d'une région en amont de l'aorte; il passe par l'orifice distal pour pénétrer dans la lumière, la traverse et sort par l'orifice proximal pour entrer dans la région en aval de l'aorte. On peut utiliser un dispositif de combinaison à cathéter artériel équipé du clapet intérieur et de l'ensemble d'isolation de l'aorte décrits ci-dessus pour mener à bien, soit un pontage cardiaque 'coeur arrêté', soit un pontage aorto-coronarien par greffe 'coeur battant'.
