Title: Improved inflatable device for use in surgical protocols relating to treatment of fractured or diseased bone
Inventor: REILEY MARK A
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 1996-06-06
Abstract: A system for supporting and strengthening a damaged bone that includes inner cancellous bone and outer cortical bone is described. The system comprises a cannula that is adapted to establish an access path to inside bone,a hollow balloon body comprising a flexible, non-elastic material that is capable of inflation from a collapsed configuration, when it is adapted for passage through the cannula into bone, to an expanded configuration. The balloon body has a predetermined size in the expanded configuration that is selected to compress at least a portion of the inner cancellous bone into the outer cortical bone to strengthen the outer cortical bone. The non-elastic material of the balloon body is capable of supporting the outer cortical bone when the balloon body is in the expanded configuration and the balloon body defines an inner passage for allowing an inflating fluid to pass into the body. The system also comprises means for scaling the inner passage of the balloon body when the balloon is in the expanded configuration to provide a support structure for the outer cortical bonc. <IMAGE>

Title: Degradation of nucleic acids by peroxides
Inventor: GREER WILLIAM
IPC: C12N1/20
Filed: 1993-10-27
Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB93/02208 Sec. 371 Date Apr. 27, 1995 Sec. 102(e) Date Apr. 27, 1995 PCT Filed Oct. 27, 1993 PCT Pub. No. WO94/10289 PCT Pub. Date May 11, 1994Peroxide, particularly supplied as hydrogen peroxide, is an effective nucleic acid degrading agent and can be used in the recovery of intracellularly produced materials from cell (particularly bacterial) lysates. The degradation or removal of nucleic acids from cell lysates is important because they form solutions of high viscosity which interfere with subsequent processing. Peroxide degradation is particularly useful in the recovery of polyhydroxyalkanoate polymers such as polyhydroxybutyrate/valerate from lysates of bacterial cells in which they are produced.

Title: Method for forming plastic optical quality spectacle lenses
Inventor: BLUM RONALD D
IPC: B29D11/00
Filed: 1990-12-03
Abstract: A fast, relatively inexpensive and simple method is disclosed for producing a finished plastic multifocal or progressive lens from a preformed lens which has a predetermined lens correction (i.e., curvature or prescription) at its optical center. The method comprises providing a mold; providing an optical quality resin composition; providing a performed plastic lens contacting the preformed lens with the mold such that the surfaces of the preformed lens and the mold form a cavity enclosing the resin composition; and curing the resin composition. The cavity formed by the performed lens and the mold is shaped, among other purposes, (1) to correspond to the desired change in curvature, and (2) such that the lens correction at the optical center of the resulting lens is substantially the same (preferably the same) as the predetermined lens correction at the optical center of the preformed lens. The preformed lens may also be cast with a thin non-prescription layer which acts as a carrier for the multifocal or progressive region of the finished lens. The methods disclosed allow casting of lenses without employing expensive conventional optical gaskets. The methods also allow for simpler relocation of the optical center to the proper position with respect to the multifocal or progressive prescription, preferably without using conventional optical gaskets or optical center movers.
