US Classification:

42725533, 42725519, 427 64, 427166

Abstract:

The invention described and claimed herein relates to a chemical vapor deposition process for depositing a zinc oxide coating on a substrate by delivering two gaseous precursor streams to a surface of the substrate, and mixing the gaseous precursor streams at the substrate surface for a time sufficiently short so as to form a zinc oxide coating at a deposition rate greater than 5 nm/second.

Tyco Healthcare Group LP - New Haven CT

International Classification:

A61B 17/34

US Classification:

60416701, 60416412, 604264

Abstract:

A surgical access port includes an access member defining a longitudinal axis and having an interior wall defining a longitudinal opening adapted for passage of a surgical object, an object seal disposed in mechanical cooperation with the access member and configured to create a substantially fluid-tight seal around a surgical object inserted through the object seal and a centering mechanism mounted to the access member proximal of the object seal. The centering mechanism includes at least one centering element extending at least in a general longitudinal direction within the longitudinal opening, and defining proximal and distal longitudinal end segments. The at least one centering element is positioned and dimensioned to engage the surgical object during passage of the object through the longitudinal opening to normally bias the surgical object into general alignment with the longitudinal axis. A locking member is mounted to the distal longitudinal end segment of the at least one centering element. The locking member is adapted for longitudinal movement relative to the longitudinal axis when the surgical object is in generally aligned relation with the longitudinal axis.

Abstract:

A low-resistivity, doped zinc oxide coated glass article is formed by providing a hot glass substrate having a surface on which a coating is to be deposited, the surface being at a temperature of at least 400 C. A zinc containing compound, an oxygen-containing compound and an aluminum- or gallium-containing compound are directed to the surface on which the coating is to be deposited. The zinc containing compound, oxygen-containing compound, and aluminum- or gallium-containing compound are mixed together for a sufficient time that an aluminum or gallium doped zinc oxide coating is formed on the surface at a deposition rate of greater than 5 nm/second.

Abstract:

A bleaching composition comprising a peroxy compound and one or more activator present in an effective amount to activate the peroxy compound, present in an amount effective to accomplish bleaching or cleaning or oxidation. The activator is a metallocarbene of the general structure (XX′C)yMLn′ where M represents a metal center, C represents the carbene carbon bound to the metal center, X and X′ may be the same or different and may furthermore be part of a cyclic structure, Ln′ represents one or more other ligands which may or may not include one or more metal centers, and where y>1.
