Title: Heat exchanger plates and methods for manufacturing heat exchanger plates
Inventor: DUKE BRIAN ERNEST
IPC: B21D53/02
Filed: 2004-02-27
Granted: 2009-04-23
Abstract: A method for forming heat exchanger plates (10) comprises formation of a fluid flow channel (28) along the edges (22) of a sheet metal strip or blank, and formation of a pair of raised end bosses. The raised end bosses (32) are elongated in the longitudinal dimension and are formed within the final width dimension of the plate so as to avoid the need for trimming of excess material along the edges of the plate.

Title: Device for treating back pain by re-establishing the exchange of nutrient and waste
Inventor: YEUNG JEFFREY E
IPC: A61L27/38
Filed: 2004-05-07
Granted: 2007-01-25
Abstract: The intervertebral disc is avascular. With aging, endplates become occluded by calcified layers, and diffusion of nutrients and oxygen into the disc diminishes. The disc degenerates, and pain ensues. Conduits are delivered and deployed into the intervertebral disc to re-establish the exchange of nutrients and waste between the disc and bodily circulation to stop or reverse disc degeneration and relieve pain. The intervertebral disc installed with semi-permeable conduits may be used as an immuno-isolated capsule to encapsulate donor cells capable of biosynthesizing therapeutic molecules. The semi-permeable conduits establish the exchange of nutrients and therapeutic molecules between disc and bodily circulation to treat a disease without using immuno-suppressive drugs.
