The fatty acid-derived biomaterials can be utilized alone or in combination with a medical device for the release and local delivery of one or more therapeutic agents. Methods of forming and tailoring the properties of said biomaterials and methods of using said biomaterials for treating injury in a mammal are also provided. | 08-20-2009 |
| 20100183697 | TISSUE-SEPARATING FATTY ACID ADHESION BARRIER - Exemplary embodiments of the present invention provide adhesion barriers having anti-adhesion and tissue fixating properties. The adhesion barriers are formed of fatty acid based films. The fatty acid-based films may be formed from fatty acid-derived biomaterials. The films may be coated with, or may include, tissue fixating materials to create the adhesion barrier. The adhesion barriers are well tolerated by the body, have anti-inflammation properties, fixate, well to tissue, and have a residence time sufficient to prevent post-surgical adhesions. | 07-22-2010 |

| 20080313339 | CONNECTION MANAGEMENT METHOD, SYSTEM, AND PROGRAM PRODUCT - The invention provides a method, system, and program product for managing a connection. In particular, the invention manages connection information in memory based on an expected usage of the corresponding connection. Connection information can be stored in faster memory, such as cache memory, when the connection is expected to have numerous additional messages. Similarly, the connection information for a connection not expected to have many additional messages can be swapped out of the cache memory and stored in relatively slower memory. As a result, the connection information that is more frequently used is more likely to be available in a faster memory. | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090138581 | THREE-DIMENSIONAL NETWORKING DESIGN STRUCTURE - A design structure embodied in a machine readable medium used in a design process includes a multi-layer silicon stack architecture having one or more processing layers comprised of one or more computing elements; one or more networking layers disposed between the processing layers, the network layer comprised of one or more networking elements, wherein each computing element comprises a plurality of network connections to adjacently disposed networking elements and each networking element may provide network access to a plurality of other computing elements through a single hop of the network. | 05-28-2009 |
| 20090144491 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR IMPLEMENTING PRIORITIZED REFRESH OF DRAM BASED CACHE - A method for implementing prioritized refresh of a multiple way, set associative DRAM based cache includes identifying, for each of a plurality of sets of the cache, the existence of a most recently used way that has not been accessed during a current assessment period; and for each set, refreshing only the identified most recently used way of the set not accessed during the current assessment period, while ignoring the remaining ways of the set; wherein a complete examination of each set for most recently used ways therein during the current assessment period constitutes a sweep of the cache. | 06-04-2009 |
| 20090144503 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTEGRATING SRAM AND DRAM ARCHITECTURE IN SET ASSOCIATIVE CACHE - A method of integrating a hybrid architecture in a set associative cache having a first type of memory structure for one or more ways in each congruence class, and a second type of memory structure for the remaining ways of the congruence class, includes determining whether a memory access request results in a cache hit or a cache miss; in the event of a cache miss, determining whether LRU way of the first type memory structure is also the LRU way of the entire congruence class, and if not, then copying the contents of the LRU way of the first type memory structure into the LRU way of the entire congruence class, and filling the LRU way of the first type memory structure with a new cache line in the event of a cache miss; and updating LRU bits, depending upon the results of the memory access request. | 06-04-2009 |

| 20110279519 | MAINTENANCE SYSTEM HAVING MODULAR SLED - A maintenance system for a printhead, the system having a sled slidably arranged with respect to the printhead a media platen module supported by the sled a capper module supported by the sled a wiper module supported by the sled; and a selection mechanism for selectively sliding the sled to align one of the platen, capper and wiper modules with the printhead, and for moving the aligned module to a position in proximity of the printhead. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110279520 | PRINTER HAVING MODULAR MAINTENANCE SLED - A printer having a media width printhead a sled slidably arranged with respect to the printhead a media platen module supported by the sled a capper module supported by the sled a wiper module supported by the sled and a selection mechanism for selectively sliding the sled to align one of the platen, capper and wiper modules with the printhead, and for moving the aligned module to a position in proximity of the printhead. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110279524 | APPARATUS FOR CAPPING PRINTING HAVING OFFSET WICK - A maintenance apparatus for a media width printhead is provided. The printhead has rows of fluid ejection nozzles extending along the media width for ejecting fluid onto media as the media travels past the printhead along a media travel direction. The apparatus has a seal for sealing against the printhead surface having the nozzle rows and forming a sealed space about the nozzle rows, a wick element positioned within the seal for wicking fluid ejected by the nozzles from the sealed space, and an alignment mechanism for aligning the seal with the printhead so that a portion of an outer surface of the wick element sloped in the media travel direction closest to the printhead is positioned upstream with respect to a centerline along the length the nozzle rows and a portion of the sloped outer surface of the wick element furthest from the printhead is positioned downstream. | 11-17-2011 |
| 20110279536 | METHOD OF MAINTAINING PRINTHEAD WITH MODULAR SLED - A method of maintaining a printhead and the method having when printing with the printhea, translating a modular sled relative to the printhead so as to align a media platen module supported by the sled with the printhead after printing with the printing, translating the sled relative to the printhead so as to align a wiper module supported by the sled with the printhead and operating a wiper roller of the wiper module so as to wipe a printing face of the printhead; and after the wiping and prior to commencement of printing with the printhead, translating the sled relative to the printhead so as to align a capper module supported by the sled with the printhead so as to cap the printing face of the printhead. | 11-17-2011 |
