International Classification:

B01D 57/00

US Classification:

204554, 204672

Abstract:

A process for the treatment and/or removal from Condenser of contaminants from a waste water, waste stream, industrial or municipal sludge, metals, oils, organics and other materials consider to be harmful to the environment are removed from the feed stock; in the case of non-metals, mineralized and in the case of metals, plated to the cathode. The present invention provides an apparatus and methods which overcome some of the problems associated with the treatment of wastewater and sludge and offers a new, novel approach to the treatment of waste, by employing the use of electroplasma processing which utilizes aspects of ultraviolet blue light, thermal energy, cavitation, flocculation, aeration, and electrical energy. The ability to control flow rates, energy density, cavitation density, aeration density and heat generation within the system offers a new level of control over different materials for treatment of waste, contaminants or metals within the same process and apparatus.

C22C 38/18

US Classification:

623 115, 75392

Abstract:

An implantable medical device includes a bioerodible portion adapted to erode when exposed to a physiological environment. The bioerodible portion includes an alloy comprising at least 10 weight percent chromium and has an outer surface having a ratio of chromium oxide to chromium metal of less than 5. The bioerodible implantable medical device can be created by implanting metallic ions into an alloy including at least 10 weight percent chromium to define an outer surface of a medical implant, or precursor thereof.

US Classification:

623 146, 427 224, 428457, 428461

Abstract:

An implantable metallic medical device having a dual-layered coating with a primer layer having functional groups capable of forming an organo-metallic complex with iron species and a second biocompatible polymer layer. The primer layer is baked onto the metallic medical device functioning as a tie layer between the surface of the medical device and a second biocompatible polymer layer disposed on the primer layer. Baking improves tie layer adhesion and in some cases provides an organo-metallic complex with the metal substrate. The second biocompatible polymer may can a therapeutic agent.

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to embodiments and methods of reducing or eliminating erosion resulting from the use of an occluder, as well as reducing or eliminating other interference with cardiac tissue by an occluder, including reducing pressure on cardiac tissue, minimizing micro-perforations, and/or minimizing residual leak by improving sealing around the occluder. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to providing an external skirt on an occluder that improves sealing of the occluder while reducing interference with the cardiac tissue by the occluder.

Abstract:

The present disclosure is directed to embodiments and methods of reducing or eliminating erosion resulting from the use of an occluder. In particular, the present disclosure is directed to reducing or eliminating erosion resulting from the use of an occluder while maintaining the fundamental function and effectiveness of the occluder with an improved occluder braid pattern. The embodiments and methods disclosed herein reduce or eliminate erosion, for example, by reducing the friction and force of an occluder on cardiac tissue and/or by increasing occluder disc compliance to cardiac structures and movement.
