Abstract:

The present invention relates to the processes of preparing silkfibroin/polyethylene oxide blended materials, and the resulting materials thereof, which are suitable for biomedical applications such as wound healing. In particular, the electrospun silk fibroin/PEO mats with a silk:PEO blend ratio of 2:1 to 4:1, treated with controlled evaporation, constraint-drying techniques, and/or alcohol treatment, and/or PEO extraction, demonstrate suitable physical and biofunctional properties, such as fiber structure, topography, absorption, water vapor transmission rates, oxygen permeation, and biodegradability, relevant to biomaterial systems with utility for wound dressings.

International Classification:

C08G 6308
C08G 6384

US Classification:

525411

Abstract:

A biodegradable and hydrodegradable diblock copolymer includes a naturally-occurring poly(. beta. -alkanoate) component and a chemically synthesized polyester component formed by ring-opening polymerization. A method of forming the biodegradable and hydrodegradable diblock copolymer having a poly(. beta. -hydroxyalkanoate) component and a chemically synthesized polyester component includes exposing a naturally-occurring poly(. beta. -hydroxyalkanoate) to alcoholysis and then to a trialkyl metal to form a dialkyl metal poly(. beta. -hydroxyalkanoate) macroinitiator. The macroinitiator is then reacted with a lactone or lactide reactant to form the biodegradable and hydrodegradable diblock copolymer.

International Classification:

A23D 902

US Classification:

4263306

Abstract:

A method of producing unsaponifiable rich refined vegetable oils by refining crude vegetable oils with a weak acid salt, e. g. , a carbonate salt, to produce a refined vegetable oil and a soapstock is described. The refined oil can be further refined with a strong base to produce unsaponifiable rich concentrates.

International Classification:

C08G 6308

US Classification:

528354

Abstract:

High molecular weight, biodegradable polymers of substituted-poly(. beta. -propioesters), wherein the repeat unit sequences have a predominantly syndiotactic arrangement and a method of forming such polymers are disclosed. The method includes exposing a substituted-. beta. -propiolactone to a tin-based organometallic catalyst for a sufficient combination of time and temperature to form the predominantly syndiotactic substituted-poly(. beta. -propioester).

International Classification:

H04W 16/28
H01Q 21/28

Abstract:

In one implementation, a device includes a first set of antennas having a first polarization; and a first radio coupled to the first set of antennas, the combination of the first set of antennas and the first radio supporting a first signal. The device also includes: a second set of antennas having a second polarization, the second polarization is different from the first polarization; and a second radio coupled to the second set of antennas, the combination of the second set of one or more antennas and the second radio supporting a second signal, the second signal is independent of the first signal. In some implementations, the first radio is operated according to a first power level in order to establish the first coverage area, and the second radio is operated according to a second power level in order to establish the second coverage area.
