20110024496 | CREDIT CARD, DEBIT CARD OR PREPAID CARD WITH IMPROVED SECURITY FEATURES - The present invention is a credit card, debit card or prepaid card with a front facing and a back facing with improved security features for a user. The card has printed card related indicia on the front facing of the card to allow the user to determine an account associated with the card and a magnetic strip with encrypted information and a plurality of tracking formats disposed on the back facing of the card to prevent reading by a magnetic stripe reader. There is also a separate supplemental card or document supplied to the user to furnish an account number for ordering desired products or services. | 02-03-2011 |

20140150848 | PHOTOVOLTAIC MODULE WITH HEAT EXCHANGER - A photovoltaic module with a heat exchanger comprises a plurality of panels comprising photovoltaic cells, a bearing structure and a heat transfer region. The bearing structure comprises a non-planar external surface forming an exposure face defining a channel with a flat central base bounded by two side walls. The bearing structure being exposed to solar radiation and bearing the photovoltaic cell panels. The heat transfer region defining a cavity having an internal surface making contact with a heat-transfer fluid flowing in the cavity. The module converts solar radiation received into electricity and transfers the heat stored and produced to a heat-transfer fluid, which after its passage through the module flows through a fluid circuit comprising a heat exchanger. The non-planar nature of the exposure face allows the area available for capturing solar radiation and the electrical power produced to be increased for photovoltaic panels of a given footprint. | 06-05-2014 |

20100023113 | REVERSIBLE APPLICATOR FOR AN INTRALUMINAL ENDOPROSTHESIS - A reversible applicator for an intraluminal endoprosthesis comprising a pusher an outer sheath sliding longitudinally relative to this pusher ( | 01-28-2010 |
20110022159 | POROUS MEMBRANES FOR MEDICAL IMPLANTS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURE - The present invention involves porous polymer membranes, suitable for use in medical implants, having controlled pore sizes, pore densities and mechanical properties. Methods of manufacturing such porous membranes are described in which a continuous fiber of polymer is extruded through a reciprocating extrusion head and deposited onto a substrate in a predetermined pattern. When cured, the polymeric material forms a stable, porous membrane suitable for a variety of applications, including reducing emboli release during and after stent delivery, and providing a source for release of bioactive substances to a vessel or organ and surrounding tissue. | 01-27-2011 |
20130190856 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR STENTING COMPRISING ENHANCED EMBOLIC PROTECTION COUPLED WITH IMPROVED PROTECTIONS AGAINST RESTENOSIS AND THROMBUS FORMATION - Apparatus and methods for stenting are provided comprising a stent attached to a porous biocompatible material that is permeable to endothelial cell ingrowth, but impermeable to release of emboli of predetermined size. Apparatus and methods are also provided for use at a vessel branching. The present invention further involves porous polymer membranes, suitable for use in medical implants, having controlled pore sizes, pore densities and mechanical properties. Methods of manufacturing such porous membranes are described in which a continuous fiber of polymer is extruded through a reciprocating extrusion head and deposited onto a substrate in a predetermined pattern. When cured, the polymeric material forms a stable, porous membrane suitable for a variety of applications, including reducing emboli release during and after stent delivery, and providing a source for release of bioactive substances to a vessel or organ and surrounding tissue. | 07-25-2013 |

20130244439 | REMOVABLE TEMPLATES FOR DIRECTED SELF ASSEMBLY - A sacrificial-post templating method is presented for directing block copolymer (BCP) self-assembly to form nanostructures of monolayers and bilayers of microdomains. The topographical post template can be removed after directing self-assembly and, therefore, is not incorporated into the final microdomain pattern. The sacrificial posts can be a material removable using a selective etchant that will not remove the material of the final pattern block(s). The sacrificial posts may be removable, at least in part, using a same etchant as for removing one of the blocks of the BCP, for example, a negative tone polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) when a non-final pattern block of polystyrene is removed and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) remains on the substrate. | 09-19-2013 |
