| 20090208553 | Monomers and Polymers with Covalently - Attached Active Ingredients - Methods to form an active agent modified monomer comprising a ring opening cyclic monomer linked to an active agent via a degradable covalent linkage. Methods to form a polymer or copolymer comprising an active agent modified monomer. Methods to form an active agent modified monomer comprising combining a ring opening cyclic monomer with a first functional group (X) and an active agent with a second functional group (Y) to form an active agent modified monomer, wherein the first (X) and second (Y) functional groups are complementary functional groups that form a degradable linkage. The active agent modified monomer can also comprise a non-degradable linkage. The method can form a ring opening cyclic monomer that includes a cyclic carbonate, cyclic epoxide, lactam, lactone, lactide anhydride, cyclic carbamate, cyclic phosphoester, or siloxane. Apparatus that includes a medical device that comprises a polymer or copolymer that comprises an active agent modified monomer. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20080317375 | Apparatus and methods for image restoration - The present invention relates to an apparatus and methods for performing image restoration. More specifically, the present invention relates to an apparatus and methods which are capable of quickly restoring various sizes of selected areas of an image. In one embodiment, a user may select or mark a target region in an image which is to be restored. A source window may then be generated and a pixel from within the target region may be selected for restoration. The intensity distribution of pixels surrounding the selected pixel may be compared with other pixels in the image and a pixel to be used for restoration of the selected pixel may be chosen based on the comparison of the intensity distributions. Once a pixel is chosen for restoration, the selected pixel and its surrounding pixels may be restored using the intensity distribution of the chosen pixel and its surrounding pixels. The method may continue in this manner until all pixels within the target region have been restored. | 12-25-2008 |
