| 20110034976 | DRUG DELIVERY - A method and apparatus of treating tissue adjacent a bodily conduit using thermotherapy, while preventing obstructions of the bodily conduit due to edema, includes injection of a drug-encapsulated within a heat-sensitive carrier, such as a liposome, within a region of tissue to be treated. The heat produced by the energy-emitting source heats a portion of the tissue surrounding the bodily conduit to a temperature of approximately 43° C. for a time sufficient to destroy the heated portion of the tissue. In addition, the heat produced by the energy-emitting source activates the heat-sensitive carrier to activate the release of the encapsulated drug and the drug targets the tissue to be heated. The focused energy of the energy-emitting source together with the compression acting on the target area can assist in delivering drugs to the target area so that a natural stent has a long term efficacy. | 02-10-2011 |
| 20110212027 | RADIATIVE HEATING FOR DRUG DELIVERY AND OTHER APPLICATIONS - The present invention generally relates to systems and methods for releasing a releasable species from an article using an external trigger, for example, using microwave radiation or other forms of radiation, e.g., radiofrequency radiation. Such systems and methods may be useful, for example, in biological applications (e.g., as an implant within a subject), industrial applications, commercial applications, or the like. One aspect of the invention is generally directed to an article containing a radiation-sensitive polymer or other radiation-sensitive material. Exposure of the radiation- sensitive material to radiation such as microwave and/or radiofrequency radiation may cause the material to increase in temperature. This increase in temperature may be used, in some cases, to cause the release of a drug or other releasable species from the article. For instance, a drug may be contained in a heat-sensitive material positioned in thermal communication with the radiation-sensitive material, or a drug may be contained within an enclosure that is isolated, at least in part, by a heat-sensitive material positioned in thermal communication with the radiation-sensitive material. In another aspect of the invention, a receive antenna, such as a microwave receive antenna may be used to focus microwave and/or radiofrequency radiation on an article. For instance, the receive antenna may focus microwave and/or radiofrequency radiation on a radiation-sensitive material in the article. Such focusing may be useful, in some embodiments, to control release of a drug or other releasable species from the article. Other aspects of the invention are directed to systems and methods of making or using such articles, e.g., by implanting the article within a subject, methods of treatment involving such articles, kits including such articles, and the like. | 09-01-2011 |

| 20110005952 | STORAGE CONTAINER FOR PAINT ROLLER COVERS - The invention discloses a storage container for a roller cover usable in conjunction with a roller frame for painting. It comprises a housing configured in a first state to receive the roller cover within a cavity. In a second state, the housing allows a movement of the roller frame to and from the housing, but disallows a similar movement of the roller cover. A lid is configurable to close the housing. The housing may be configured to define at least in the second state, an opening operatively associated with the cavity. The opening is sized to allow insertion and removal of the roller frame there-through but to disallow insertion and removal of the roller cover there-through. The housing may have an open design in the first state, to allow for easy placement of the roller cover in the cavity. Various different configurations are described. | 01-13-2011 |
