20080275546 | Inhibitory cell adhesion surfaces - Textured nanostructured surfaces are described which are highly resistant to cell adhesion. Such surfaces on medical implants inhibit fibroblast adhesion particularly on titanium treated silicone. The surfaces can also be engineered so that other cell types, such as endothelial and osteoblast cells, show little if any tendency to attach to the surface in vivo. | 11-06-2008 |
20090186068 | Atomic plasma deposited coatings for drug release - Nanophase single or multiple layer time release coatings over drugs attached to metal surfaces are described. The coatings are deposited over a drug attached to a porous metal substrate using an atomic plasma deposition procedure. Porosity of the substrate and the number of APD deposited layers controls drug release when the attached drug is exposed to an aqueous medium. | 07-23-2009 |
20090287302 | Polymer coated spinulose metal surfaces - Spinulose surfaces such as titanium and zirconium can be coated with a range of polymers used to form thin, adherent polymer surface films. Selected polymer coatings are useful for use as biocompatible surfaces on implants, catheters, guidewires, stents and a variety of medical devices for in vivo applications. The polymer coatings can also be used to protect metal surfaces nanostructured with spinulose titanium or zirconium. | 11-19-2009 |
20100204777 | INHIBITORY CELL ADHESION SURFACES - Nanostructured surfaces on selected substrates are described which are highly resistant to cell adhesion. Such surfaces on medical implants inhibit fibroblast adhesion particularly on nanorough titanium deposited on smooth silicone surfaces. The nanostructured deposited metal coatings can also be engineered so that several cell types, including endothelial, osteoblast, and fibroblast cells, show little if any tendency to attach to the coated surface in vivo. | 08-12-2010 |
20110054633 | Nanofilm Protective and Release Matrices - A modified atomic plasma deposition (APD) procedure is used to produce amorphous, nonconformal thin metal film coatings on a variety of substrates. The films are porous, mesh-like lattices with imperfections such as pinholes and pores, which are useful as scaffolds for cell attachment, controlled release of bioactive agents and protective coatings. | 03-03-2011 |
20130053938 | SURFACE PROTECTIVE AND RELEASE MATRICES - A molecular plasma deposition (MPD) method in combination with an atomic layer deposition (ALD) procedure is used to produce amorphous, nonconformal thin metal film coatings on a variety of substrates. The films are porous, mesh-like lattices with imperfections such as pinholes and pores, which are useful as scaffolds for cell attachment, controlled release of bioactive agents and protective coatings. | 02-28-2013 |

20100116603 | Rotor Device and Method of Making Same - A rotor and a method of making same are provided. The rotor can include a substantially annular segment having a thickness defined between a first side surface and a second side surface, as well as an inner end edge surface and an outer end edge surface. At least one expansion groove can be formed in the substantially annular segment, and can include a substantially straight portion and a substantially curved portion. The substantially curved portion of the at least one expansion groove can form an arc of at least about 90 degrees. The rotor can also include at least one flange extending from an inner end edge surface of the substantially annular segment at an angle not parallel to a radial of the substantially annular segment. | 05-13-2010 |

20110262611 | DOUGH EXTRUDERS AND METHODS - A dough extruder is disclosed that is configured to provide a continuous dough rope suitable for cracker products using a straight extended low friction compression chamber and a die plate oriented substantially perpendicular to a laminar flow of the dough. In one embodiment, the extruder can have a compressive force sufficient to extrude a plastic mass in a laminar flow in the range of about less than 120 psi; a compression chamber providing for an interior coefficient of friction in the range of about 0.2 and 0.35; and a die plate horizontally aligned with the longitudinal axis of the compressive force. | 10-27-2011 |

20090244813 | Methods Of Making A Niobium Metal Oxide and Oxygen Reduced Niobium Oxides - Methods to at least partially reduce a niobium oxide are described wherein the process includes mixing the niobium oxide and niobium powder to form a powder mixture that is then heat treated to form heat treated particles which then undergo reacting in an atmosphere which permits the transfer of oxygen atoms from the niobium oxide to the niobium powder, and at a temperature and for a time sufficient to form an oxygen reduced niobium oxide. Oxygen reduced niobium oxides having high porosity are also described as well as capacitors containing anodes made from the oxygen reduced niobium oxides. | 10-01-2009 |
20120107224 | Methods Of Making A Niobium Metal Oxide and Oxygen Reduced Niobium Oxides - Methods to at least partially reduce a niobium oxide are described wherein the process includes mixing the niobium oxide and niobium powder to form a powder mixture that is then heat treated to form heat treated particles which then undergo reacting in an atmosphere which permits the transfer of oxygen atoms from the niobium oxide to the niobium powder, and at a temperature and for a time sufficient to form an oxygen reduced niobium oxide.
