Title: Therapeutic use of polymers
Inventor: STRATFORD PETER WILLIAM
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1999-11-12
Granted: 2002-11-21
Abstract: An insoluble polymer is deposited in a body cavity for instance to embolize a vein or pack an aneurysm, the polymer having pendant zwitterionic groups to improve biocompatibility. The insoluble polymer is preferably formed by an in situ gelling step in which a charged, preferably soluble, polymer having pendant zwitterionic groups is introduced in the form of a composition in which it is soluble and is gelled by being mixed with a counterionically charged soluble polymer (polyelectrolyte), to form a polyion complex. Preferably the or each soluble polymer is formed by polymerizing ethylenically unsatured monomers including a zwitterionic monomer, for instance 2-methacryloyloxyethyl-2'-trimethylammoniumethyl phosphate inner salt, an ionic monomer such as trimethylammonium alkyl(alk)acrylate or a sulphoalkyl(alk)acrylate and optionally a diluent monomer such as an alkyl(alk)acrylate.

Title: A catheter with a balloon
Inventor: NOGUCHI NORIYASU
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 1992-10-15
Granted: 1994-04-28
Abstract: This invention relates to a catheter-cum-balloon characterized in that the balloon is reinforced with composite yarns composed of elastic yarns and non-elastic ones which are each larger than the elastic one in free length. In the catheter-cum-balloon of the present invention, expandability of the balloon is high and thus, when inserted into or pulled out from the blood vessel for the purpose of therapy, the balloon is capable of not only decreasing in diameter without development of creases but also positively expanding to the same size and the same shape at any time. Accordingly, provided are such advantages that: reliability in therapy is increased; an opening incised for therapy, even if small, satisfies the purpose; treatment and care after operation are simple, requiring only a few length of time until cure; and the burden inflicted on the patient and nurse daily is light.

Title: Tip vortex generation technology for creating a lift enhancing and drag reducing upwash effect
Inventor: MCCARTHY PETER THOMAS
IPC: B64C3/10
Filed: 1995-07-18
Granted: 1999-09-16
Abstract: Methods for using tip generated vortices to improve performance of foils. These methods include generating substantially streamwise beneficial vortex (74) near the outboard end (60) of a foil (82). This beneficial vortex (74) spins in the opposite direction of an induced drag vortex (62), and is used to create an upwash field (76) which neutralizes induced drag by deflecting the flow behind the trailing edge (56) at an upward angle. Upwash field (76) causes the lift vector (118) on the foil (82) to tilt forward, thereby creating a forward directed force of induced thrust upon the foil (82). Beneficial vortex (74) is also used to contain and compress the high pressure field existing along the attacking surface of the foil (82). Embodiments include a twist (66) along the span of a foil (82b), an anhedral tip droop having a divergent axis of droop curvature (86), a movable vortex flap (102), a cone shaped vortex flap network (162). Methods for reducing overall tip vorticity are disclosed.

Title: A method for detecting nitric oxide, nitrosonium equivalents, S-nitrosothiols and S-nitroso-proteins in biological systems
Inventor: STAMLER JONATHAN
IPC: G01N33/68
Filed: 1993-04-21
Granted: 1995-11-09
Abstract: Nitric oxide, nitrosonium, S-nitrosothiols, and S-nitroso-proteins can be detected in biological samples, using a method which involves injection of samples into a photolysis cell, prior to detection of chemiluminescence generated by the reaction between nitric oxide and ozone. To detect S-nitrosothiols and S-nitroso-proteins separate aliquots of the same samples are subjected to pretreatment with mercurous ion, and a protein-precipitating agent, respectively, and the resulting nitric oxide signals are compared to those generated by untreated samples. This method is useful for monitoring the levels of nitric oxide bioactivity in both normal physiological states, and disease states, such as septic shock, atherosclerosis, thrombosis, hyperhomocysteinemia, pulmonary hypertension, malignancy, infections and central nervous systems disorders.

Title: Optical interference structures incorporating porous films
Inventor: JOZEFOWICZ MARK ADRIAN
IPC: B65D81/34
Filed: 1990-03-22
Granted: 1991-12-05
Abstract: Optical interference structures incorporating porous films. These structures are capable of exhibiting a colour by interference effects caused by the interference of light reflected from various layers within the structure. Basically, the structures comprise a reflective substrate (10), a porous transparent dielectric film (11) on the substrate and at least one semi-transparent layer supported by the porous dielectric film. The structure is such that there are at least two reflective surfaces separated by an optically thin porous layer of the dielectric film. These structures can be formed by several methods, but the most convenient involves the porous anodization of a substrate metal (10) (e.g. aluminum) to form the dielectric film (11) and the deposition of a semi-transparent metal layer (12) within the pores or on the film surface. The structures can be made inexpensively and are capable of generating strong and, if desired, dichroic colours. The porous nature of the film can also be exploited to create colour shifts. The structures can be used for decorative purposes or to create a wide range of indicators, sensors, security devices and the like.
