| 20090194014 | FLOATING DRIVE-ON WATERCRAFT DOCKING SYSTEM - The floating drive-on docking system for a watercraft uses a main floatation portion where the watercraft rests when loaded and a pivoting entry portion for creating a low loading angle between the watercraft and the floating drive-on docking system, resulting in only a small amount of propulsion from the watercraft being required to load onto the docking system. The pivoting entry portion has entry features, either rollers or raised bumps, that remain above the waterline when not engaged by the watercraft to keep the loading surfaces free from marine growth that can harm the hull of a watercraft. Wide side guides on the pivoting entry portion assist in positioning the craft for loading onto the docking system. | 08-06-2009 |

| 20090324928 | Forming ultra low dielectric constant porous dielectric films and structures formed thereby - Methods of forming a microelectronic structure are described. Embodiments of those methods include removing a portion of at least one of Si—C bonds and CHx bonds in a dielectric material comprising a porogen material by reaction with a wet chemical, wherein the portion of Si—C and CHx bonds are converted to Si—H bonds. The Si—H bonds may be further hydrolyzed to form SiOH linkages. The SiOH linkages may then be removed by a radiation based cure, wherein a portion of the porogen material is also removed. | 12-31-2009 |

| 20080200948 | NOVEL BIOMATERIALS AND A METHOD FOR MAKING AND USING SAME - Novel biomaterials are disclosed having unique properties that make it a useful material in adhesives, local drug delivery applications and as filler or bulking material. The biomaterials are strong, safe and easily used as a surgical adhesive. Treated chitosan, modified chitosan or modified and treated chitosan compositions are disclosed displaying strengths suitable for general surgical applications. The materials can be used as a drug delivery vehicle which allows for the localization of the delivered drug as well as a programmable tether which allows for the release of the drug on a timed basis or in response to a physiological state such as the release of proteolytic enzymes. The materials of this invention can also be modified and treated to optimize the retention of water, thereby serving as a useful filler or bulking material. | 08-21-2008 |
| 20080207561 | NOVEL BIOMATERIALS AND A METHOD FOR MAKING AND USING SAME - A novel biomaterial is disclosed having unique properties that make it useful in ocular drug delivery applications, where the drugs selected from the group consisting of a prostaglandin, a prostamide, a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), and a corticosteroid, and mixtures, derivatives, salts and esters thereof. | 08-28-2008 |
| 20090181927 | BONDING TISSUES AND CROSS-LINKING PROTEINS WITH NAPHTHALIMIDE COMPOUNDS - Naphthalimide compounds are used in tissue bonding and protein cross-linking applications. When activated by an activating agent, such as light in the 400-500 nm absorption range, the naphthalimide compounds form chemically-reactive species that cross-link proteins, bond connective tissues together, and bond tissues and other biomaterials together. A naphthalimide-labeled biomolecule, such as a naphthalimide-labeled chitosan, is also capable of bonding tissues without subsequent direct illumination of the contacted tissue area. The naphthalimide compounds may be used in tissue or arterial repair, stabilization of an expanded arterial wall after angioplasty, tethering pharmaceutical agents to tissue surfaces to provide local drug delivery, and for chemically bonding skin care products, sunscreens, and cosmetics to the skin. | 07-16-2009 |
