IPC: H01L21/20
Filed: 2001-02-15
Abstract: A method for bonding at low or room temperature includes steps of surface cleaning and activation by cleaning or etching. The method may also include removing by-products of interface polymerization to prevent a reverse polymerization reaction to allow room temperature chemical bonding of materials such as silicon, silicon nitride and SiO2. The surfaces to be bonded are polished to a high degree of smoothness and planarity (2). VSE may use reactive ion etching or wet etching to slighthly etch the surfaces being bonded (3). The surface roughness and planarity are not degraded and may be enhanced by the VSE process. The etched surfaces may be rinsed in solutions such as ammonium hydroxide or ammonium fluoride to promote the formation of desired bonding species on the surfaces (4).

Patent CA-2407461-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KESTER RAYMOND LEE JR
IPC: A61M1/14
Filed: 2001-08-28
Abstract: An improved multi-lumen catheter with tip configurations for the simultaneou s injection and withdrawal of fluids. The multi-lumen catheter is a hollow cylindrical structure preferably made of polyurethane. It includes an outer catheter, generally used for the removal of fluid from a patient, and an inn er catheter, generally used for injection of fluids into a patient. The inner catheter is contained within the outer catheter, extends throughout its leng th and is bisected by a septum to create two parallel lumens. The shape of each  lumen depends on the shape of the septum. For example, if the inner catheter  is split in half, the resulting two lumens are D-shaped. The inner catheter is secured by either the outer catheter's tapered distal end, or a bond, wherei n the bond secures the inner catheter to the outer catheter. In a preferred embodiment, the inner catheter extends beyond the distal end of the outer catheter to promote a better separation between intake fluid and outflow fluid. The tips can be bevelled, curved, slanted or otherwise altered so tha t occlusion is less likely. Further, side openings can be cut into either the outer catheter, the inner catheter, or both to improve the reliability of blood flow in case that one of the lumens becomes occluded. Additionally, th e multi-lumencatheter can be supplied with a protective sheath to maintain a sterile environment.

IPC: F16B5/02
Filed: 2002-12-09
Abstract: The oil tank support bracket will provide more stability and makes an oil tank less likely to fall over. The bracket has three components, first being the mounting base which is secured to a solid structure in the area the tank is being installed. The second part, the extension arm is secured to the mounting base using two sets of nuts and bolts. The arm is adjustable inward and outward because oil tank installations will vary. The arm then turns downwards making it L-shaped. On the downward end of the arm there are 2 rows of holes for receiving four sets of nuts and bolts and the third part, a metal plate, which is also adjustable upward and downward. The handle on the oil tank is then placed between the plate and the downward part of the arm and secured by tightening the nuts and bolts and squeezing the handle between them.
