| 20100087797 | Method and apparatus for inserting a rectal suppository - Rectal suppositories are used to administer a predetermined drug dosage to treat a variety of diseases and symptoms in a variety of patient populations. Certain medical conditions, such as digestive disorders, may be more effectively treated when the suppository is placed in a particular location of the patient's anal canal or rectum. A method and apparatus for inserting a suppository into an animal or human may include an applicator having a barrel and plunger. The barrel maintains a first gas flow path during insertion of a suppository and the plunger maintains a second gas flow path during withdrawal of the plunger. By maintaining a first and second gas flow path, trapped air and suction effects on the suppository are minimized or eliminated. Furthermore, patients may immediately resume day-to-day activities. These benefits may encourage patients to maintain a course of treatment thereby potentially avoiding additional complications, hospitalization, and costs. | 04-08-2010 |

| 20110071620 | Methods for Forming an Orthogonal End on a Helical Stent - A method of manufacturing a stent includes forming a wave form having a plurality of struts and a plurality of crowns. Each crown connects two adjacent struts. The wave form has a central portion and two end portions located on opposite sides the central portion. Some of the struts located in the end portions have lengths longer and/or shorter than an average length of all of the struts of the wave form. The method includes wrapping the wave form about a longitudinal axis to define a plurality of turns so that an end turn is oriented at an angle relative to the longitudinal axis, a second turn is at a first pitch angle that is less than the angle that the end turn is disposed relative to the longitudinal axis, a third turn is at a second pitch angle that is less than the first pitch angle, and a fourth turn is at a third pitch angle that is less than the second pitch angle. | 03-24-2011 |
| 20110251668 | Stent With Therapeutic Substance - A stent includes a wave form that includes a cable including a plurality of strands. The wave form has a plurality of struts and a plurality of crowns, with each crown connecting two adjacent struts. The wave form is wrapped around a longitudinal axis at a pitch to define a plurality of helical turns. The stent includes a filler located within the cable. The filler includes a therapeutic substance. | 10-13-2011 |

| 20120121718 | COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS RELATING TO REDUCED MUCOADHESION - The present invention generally relates to reducing the mucoadhesive properties of a particle. In some embodiments, the particle is coated with and/or associated with a (poly(ethylene glycol))-(poly(propylene oxide))-(poly(ethylene glycol)) triblock copolymer. Methods for preparing inventive particles using a poly(ethylene glycol)-vitamin E conjugate as a surfactant are also provided. In some embodiments, methods are provided comprising administering to a subject a composition of particles of the present invention. Such particles with reduced mucoadhesive properties are useful in delivering agents to mucosal tissues such as oral, ophthalmic, gastrointestinal, nasal, respiratory, and genital mucosal tissues. | 05-17-2012 |

| 20100031669 | Free Turbine Generator For Aircraft - A turbine engine for an aircraft is disclosed. The turbine includes a turbine generator which is not connected to the low or high pressure spools of the turbine engine. The generator is used to create power for use in electrical systems in the aircraft. In some embodiments, the free-turbine airfoils receive the core air through an array of variable-pitch vanes. The pitch of these vanes is alterable to control the core air so that the speed of the free turbine remains substantially constant even though engine speed fluctuates. | 02-11-2010 |
