20110034989RAPID-EXCHANGE BALLOON CATHETER SHAFT AND METHOD - A balloon catheter or stent delivery system for medical treatment of a patient has a proximal hub, a balloon, and an improved shaft design. The catheter shaft has a rapid-exchange configuration, and a tubular outer body that includes a hypotube extending from the catheter proximal end to a position at or near a proximal leg of the balloon. An inner tubular body defines a guidewire lumen extending from a distal guidewire port at the catheter distal end to a proximal port located at a position between the balloon and the hub. A distal leg of the balloon is directly or indirectly affixed to the inner body, and a proximal leg of the balloon is affixed to the distal end of the outer body. The hypotube has an aperture for accepting the inner body proximal end, and a circumferential cut pattern. The cut pattern adds flexibility, and may extend from the hypotube distal end to a position proximal of the proximal guidewire port. The cut pattern may have any desired shape, including a spiral, a helical undulating path, or an overlapping serpentine path with inflection points, for example. The hypotube has a fluid-tight covering such as a heat-shrink polymer, so the outer body supports pressure of an inflation medium. The proximal guidewire port may be positioned on or between the individual portions of the cut pattern, or at a position beyond the cut pattern.02-10-2011

20090214439Fluorinated Carbohydrates and Their Use in Tumor Visualization, Tissue Engineering, and Cancer Chemotherapy - The present invention relates to fluorine-containing monosaccharides that are useful for forming extracellular fluorinated glycoconjugates. Methods of forming extracellular fluorinated glycoconjugates comprise the steps of contacting a cell with a fluorine-containing monosaccharide, and incubating the cell under conditions whereby the cell internalizes the fluorine-containing monosaccharide, or a derivative thereof, on the surface of the cell. The present invention also relates to the use of a fluorine-containing monosaccharide in cellular imaging using fluorine NMR. The invention additionally relates to the use of fluorine containing monosaccharides in the treatment of cancer and inflammatory disease.08-27-2009

20100183844HIGHLY ORGANIZED SINGLE-WALLED CARBON NANOTUBE NETWORKS AND METHOD OF MAKING USING TEMPLATE GUIDED FLUIDIC ASSEMBLY - Methods for fabricating templates for nanoelement assembly and methods for fluid-guided assembly of nanoelements are provided. Templates are fabricated by plasma modification of surface hydrophilicity and production of a network of hydrophobic trenches having a hydrophilic bottom surface. Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) can be assembled into stable films, ribbons, and wires of nanoscale thickness and nanoscale or microscale width and length. The nanofilm assemblies prepared according to the invention are highly conductive and can be used in the fabrication of a wide variety of microscale and nanoscale electronic devices.07-22-2010

20110083586CONTROLLED RELEASE OF CHEMICAL ADMIXTURES - A method of controlling release of an admixture in a cement-based composition involves intercalating an admixture (e.g. an accelerator, a set retarder, a superplasticizer) for the cement-based composition into a layered double hydroxide or mixture thereof. A cement-based composition prepared in such a manner and containing a cement-based material (e.g. cement, mortar or concrete) has better workability, especially in respect of slump-loss characteristics.04-14-2011
