| 20110123163 | Stable Lithium Niobate Waveguides, And Methods Of Making And Using Same - The invention provides stable lithium niobate waveguides, and systems and methods for making same. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, a waveguide includes a lithium niobate substrate having an upper surface; and a soft proton-exchanged layer embedded within the substrate, the soft proton-exchanged layer formed by exposing the lithium niobate substrate to a proton exchange solution including a proton exchange acid and a lithium salt of the proton exchange acid at a temperature of less than an atmospheric boiling point of the solution, followed by annealing the lithium niobate substrate under a vapor pressure of water preselected to inhibit protons in the substrate from forming water and evaporating from the upper surface of the substrate. The preselected water vapor pressure may be between 0.1 atm and about 0.9 atm, for example, between about 0.4 atm and about 0.6 atm, in one embodiment about 0.47 atm. | 05-26-2011 |

| 20100178520 | ADHESIVE BONDING SYSTEM HAVING ADHERENCE TO LOW ENERGY SURFACES - This invention relates to (meth)acrylate-based polymerizable compositions and adhesive systems prepared therefrom, which include a alkylated borohydride or tetraalkyl borane metal or ammonium salt and a polymerizable siloxane. The inventive compositions and adhesive systems are particularly well suited for bonding applications which involve at least one low energy bonding surface, for example, the polyolefins, polyethylene, and polypropylene. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20090125092 | METHODS FOR MAKING AN ENCAPSULATED STENT AND INTRALUMINAL DELIVERY THEREOF - A method for making an encapsulated stent includes providing a first seamless unsintered ePTFE tube, providing a second seamless sintered ePTFE tube, positioning a self-expanding stent between the first and second ePTFE tubes to form an assembly, and joining the first ePTFE tube to the second ePTFE tube through openings in a wall of the stent by applying first pressure, and then heat, to the assembly. | 05-14-2009 |
| 20090311132 | METHODS FOR MAKING A SUPPORTED GRAFT - A method for forming a self-expanding stent-graft, including coupling a shape memory member to a polymer cladding to form a polymer clad member, winding a length of the polymer clad member about a mandrel so that adjacent windings include regions of polymer cladding that overlap, heating the wound polymer clad member to join and seal the overlapping regions to one another, manipulating the stent-graft from a first diameter to a second diameter smaller than the first diameter, and loading the stent-graft into a restraining sheath, wherein the restraining sheath prevents the stent-graft from reverting to the first diameter. | 12-17-2009 |

| 20100021973 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING AND AMPLIFICATION OF DNA, INCLUDING USING MULTIPLE ENZYMES IN A SINGLE REACTION - The present invention concerns preparation of DNA molecules, such as a library, using a stem-loop oligonucleotide. In particular embodiments, the invention employs a single reaction mixture and conditions. In particular, at least part of the inverted palindrome is removed during the preparation of the molecules to facilitate amplification of the molecules. Thus, in specific embodiments, the DNA molecules are suitable for amplification and are not hindered by the presence of the palindrome. | 01-28-2010 |
