K. Birman, M. Hayden, and Z. Xiao Cornell inventors have developed a new protocol and methodology for achieving scalable multicast delivery of messages with steady throughput in network settings. The protocol has been developed and is suitable for use in large scale Internet environments requiring stable, steady data delivery with rigorous reliability models and at high rates of data delivery. U.S. Patent Pending. This technology is being marketed for controlled drug release, artificial skins, wound dressings, surgical implants, and gene therapy. U.S. Patent Pending.
Polymerization is initiated by a metal complex exhibiting unprecedented high activity.
This process is expected to lead to an economically attractive method for manufacturing biodegradable polymers as environmentally benign materials. Such materials may be usable for medical disposable applications, as well as for other packaging requirements. U.S. Patent Pending. Since the U.S. Patent Office was established in 1789, nearly 6 million patents have been issued. Cornell now has 358 U.S. patents in force.
