Title: Diameter expansion cannula
Inventor: WHITTEMORE ANTHONY D
IPC: A61F2/90
Filed: 1992-05-01
Abstract: The present invention is a diameter expansion cannula apparatus (10) which is used to establish fluid flow to a healthy blood vessel or to a diseased blood vessel. The cannula apparatus has a cannula (12) which is coated with silicone and is formed of a braided construction which provides the cannula with an inherent resilience, yet allows the length of the cannula to become longer and the diameter of the cannula to become narrower when tension is applied along the longitudinal axis of the cannula. A peelable sheath (18) is used to maintain the cannula in its elongated narrow state during insertion into a blood vessel. Removal of the sheath allows the cannula to return to its pre-tensioned diameter, thereby providing a radial force upon any obstruction within the blood vessel. The cannula apparatus is a self-contained unit which includes a sharpened point (45) on the end of a balloon catheter (40) to puncture the blood vessel of a patient and to assist the cannula in returning to its pre-tensioned diameter.

Title: Method of producing elements from powders
Inventor: TURENNE SYLVAIN
IPC: B22F3/00
Filed: 1993-12-01
Abstract: Complex-shaped parts can be produced from powders, for example metal-matrix composites, by injection molding using a mixture of the powders with a suitable binder.  The binder must be removed from the powder mixture before the final thermal treatment of the so-called green part.  The present invention proposes to remove the binder by surrounding a cast part with a layer of a particulate material and to subject the cast part to isostatic pressure through the surrounding layer which can thus act as an absorbent.   The surrounding layer is removed after the isostatic pressing and the part can be subjected to sintering.   The method is suitable for example for aluminum-ceramic powder mixtures.

Inventor: BALABAN DAVID B
IPC: H01H3/60
Filed: 1993-12-06
Abstract: An electrical rocker type wall switch capable of single, duplex and triplex configurations incorporates one or more slightly concave manually depressible rockers. These rockers have a relatively short range of motion from their respective on to off positions. The edges of the rocker lie substantially, flush with the switch cover when in either of their on or off positions.      Switching is actuated by an actuating arm attached to the rocker moving a contact on the end of a movable brush arm in and out of electrical contact with a fixed contact on the end of a contact arm attached to a fixed terminal. One or more brush arms extend from a fixed brush backplate and are formed so as to be resilient.      Switch toggling is achieved by using a toggle spring, held in place on the end of a toggle arm, which is compressed during the first half of travel of the rocker from its resting position and expands as the rocker crosses its midway point toward the second half of travel to its resting position on the other side of the switch.      The toggle spring sits centrally over a spring pivot which has two springs stops on either side of it to support the toggle spring at the on and off position of the rocker.

Patent CA-2125792-A1 (CA)
Title: Sedimentation type solid-liquid separator
Inventor: HARATO TAKUO
IPC: B01D21/01
Filed: 1994-06-14
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a sedimentation type solid-liquid separator. The separator operates in the following manner. The slurry subjected to aggregation processing by a line mixer is supplied to a slurry feed member via a slurry supply passage and then fed radially outward from slurry fed outlets within a sedimentation tank. Therefore, liquid flow hardly takes place below the slurry feed member and the settling velocity of the solid is increased. The slurry feed member is arranged close to the boundary face of the thickened slurry zone, and thus the settling distance of the solid is shortened. Accordingly, the residence time of the solid is shortened to a great extent. In addition, the sedimentation tank can be constructed to be sealed and solid-liquid separation can also be performed under a pressurized state.

IPC: A61K47/48
Filed: 1994-10-31
Abstract: GLYCOSAMINOGLYCAN-SYNTHETIC POLYMER CONJUGATES                 Abstract of the Disclosure Pharmaceutically acceptable, nonimmunogenic compositions are formed by covalently binding glycosaminoglycans or derivatives thereof, to hydrophilic synthetic polymers via specific types of chemical bonds to provide biocompatible conjugates. Useful glycosaminoglycans include hyaluronic acid, the chondroitin sulfates, keratan sulfate, chitin and heparin, each of which is chemically derivatized to react with a hydrophilic synthetic polymer. The conjugate comprising a glycosaminoglycan covalently bound to a hydrophilic synthetic polymer may be further bound to collagen to form a three component conjugate having different properties. The hydrophilic synthetic polymer may be polyethylene glycol and derivatives thereof having an average molecular weight over a range of from about 100 to about 100,000. The compositions may include other components such as fluid, pharmaceutically acceptable carriers to form injectable formulations, and/or biologically active proteins such as growth factors or cytokines. The conjugates of the invention generally contain large amounts of water when formed. The conjugates can be dehydrated to form a relatively solid implant for use in hard tissue augmentation. The dehydrated, solid implant can further be ground into particles which can be suspended in a non-aqueous fluid and injected into a living being (preferably human) for soft tissue augmentation. Once in place, the solid implants or particles rehydrate and expand in size approximately three- to five-fold.
