Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090036969Thin-walled vascular graft - There is provided a thin-walled self-sealing vascular graft with a first tubular structure formed from ePTFE and having a wall thickness of 0.2 mm or less, and a resealable polymer layer, such as a styrene copolymer, located on one surface of said first tubular structure. A second tubular structure may also be present, so that the resealable polymer layer is disposed between said first and second tubular structure. The second tubular structure is preferably formed from a textile layer but can also be ePTFE. A method of forming such a self-sealing graft is also provided comprising the steps of wrapping unsintered ePTFE tape helically onto a mandrel such that adjacent turns of the ePTFE tape overlap; sintering the layers of tape by heating above the crystalline melting point of ePTFE to form a sintered tubular structure, and applying a resealable polymer layer to one surface of said first tubular structure. The graft can be used for replacing a defective portion of the vasculature in a patient in need thereof.02-05-2009

20100235434Personal Information Management Data Synchronization - A data management application that may be implemented in a mobile device to perform two-way synchronization of electronic messages and/or PIM data with a server device. The device may be a mobile device such as a mobile phone or Smartphone, as well as a personal digital assistant, notebook computer, or other mobile device communicating using any of several wireless protocols. PIM data may include PIM application objects or other data, including but not limited to calendar, contact, and task object data. The data management application may synchronize e-mail and PIM data on a client device with that of a server where the server and client utilize one or more different protocols.09-16-2010

20090119082RESERVOIR FRACTURE SIMULATION - Reservoir fracture simulation relates to a method of evaluating a reservoir. Data associated with properties of the reservoir as well as properties of a fracture in the reservoir, is collected. This data is then used in conjunction with a correlation matrix to determine modification parameters of a reservoir model of the reservoir. The correlation matrix corresponds to an empirical functional relationship between the modification parameters and the data, and is obtained based on a plurality of experimental fractures defined in the reservoir. Effects of the fracture are then emulated by selectively modifying the reservoir model using the modification parameters to generate a modified reservoir model. The reservoir is then modeled with the fracture by using the modified reservoir model to generate a result.05-07-2009
