Depending on the monomer present in the microsphere, it is polymerized by a polymerization initiator or by an olefin metathesis catalyst present in the dental restorative composite. Self-healing dental restorative composites provide increased resistance to fracturing, and thus remain substantially intact for a longer period of time, preserving the remedial integrity of the dental repair or reconstruction. | 12-04-2008 |
20090204086 | Cerebrospinal fluid collection tubes and methods - A cerebrospinal fluid (“CSF”) collection tube includes a bottom end portion and a tubular sidewall portion. The tubular sidewall portion has a first end and a second end, the first end being sealed to the bottom end portion and the second end defining an open end portion of the CSF collection tube. The CSF collection tube further includes a filament element that is attached to an interior surface of the tubular sidewall portion and projects through the open end portion of the CSF collection tube. The CSF collection tube may further include a removeable cap. | 08-13-2009 |
20100272764 | MICROENCAPSULATED COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR TISSUE MINERALIZATION - The present invention is directed to compositions, products and methods useful for bone and tooth mineralization. The compositions comprise polymer microcapsules containing aqueous salt solutions. The shells of the microcapsules can be semi-permeable or impermeable. Solutions of calcium, fluoride and phosphate salts are particularly useful in the compositions of the invention. The microcapsules are preferably prepared by surfactant free inverse emulsion interfacial polymerization. Bone products include cements, scaffolds and bioactive glass. Dental products include pastes, gels, rinses and many other dental materials. | 10-28-2010 |
20110071234 | Self-Healing dental restorative formulations and related methods - Dental restorative formulations comprising two additives incorporated into the continuous phase of a dental material. One additive contains a capsule with a radical initiator. The other additive contains a capsule with one or more monomers and a radical accelerator. The dental restorative formulation is applied and polymerized to form a composite. When a disturbance occurs in the dental composite, the capsules of the additives rupture so that the radical accelerator of the second capsule decomposes the radical initiator of the first capsule to polymerize the one or more monomers of the second capsule thereby healing the dental composite. The radical accelerator controls the rate of decomposition of the radical initiator. | 03-24-2011 |
20110082232 | Self-healing dental restorative formulations and related methods - Dental restorative formulations comprising an additive material and a capsule incorporated into the continuous phase of a dental material. The additive material includes one or more alkoxy groups and one or more vinyl groups. The capsule includes a catalyst and a molecule with one or more silanol groups. The dental restorative formulation is applied and polymerized to form a composite. When a disturbance occurs in the dental composite, the capsule ruptures so that the catalyst initiates a condensation reaction between the molecule with one or more silanol groups and the one or more alkoxy groups thereby healing the dental composite. | 04-07-2011 |
20130011453 | BUFFERED MICROENCAPSULATED COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS - A microcapsule composition comprising at least one polymer substantially disposed as a semi-permeable shell around a buffered solution and at least one therapeutic agent, wherein the therapeutic agent permeates the shell, and wherein the composition is suitable for delivery to a mammal. This invention also provides related compositions, products and methods. | 01-10-2013 |

20090316618 | Multiplex Switching Scheme for Communications Network - An earth station interface architecture provides full mesh connectivity for a relatively small number of network stations. A component of the architecture is a switch, which employs' a network interface standard to ‘define the multiplexing of multiple virtual ports across single physical communications port. Through address and control fields of its connectivity control software, the switch can be dynamically configured to provide multilayer addressing, and device selectivity, thereby enabling point-to-point connectivity of multiple terminal devices, such as a plurality of audio circuits, to be effected via a single port. Dial codes on the station side of an audio signal multiplexer link are translated into frame relay addresses (data link connection identifiers) that are added to each frame of data for routing through the network. With this additional layer of routing information, audio (voice) connectivity is now available between any two audio circuits (e.g. trunks) in the network. | 12-24-2009 |
