20080254081 | Moist Wipe and Method of Making Same - A moist wipe having a web of fibers stabilized as with a suitable binder, and the stabilized, dry web having an anionic surface charge not greater than about 1.2 meq/Kg. A cationic functional agent in an aqueous imbuement is added to the web which is partially adsorbed by the web and a portion of the agent remaining free. Because the anionic surface charge on the substrate is relatively low, there remains in the free aqueous medium a sufficient quantity of the functional agent deliverable to the surface to achieve the desired efficacy. The resulting web will adsorb a limited amount of the cationic functional agent in the aqueous imbuement, and thereby an adequate amount of the agent remains in the solution free of the web for deliverance to the surface, thereby obviating high loadings of the imbuement and the active functional agent. | 10-16-2008 |

20160053134 | PEM LAYER-BY-LAYER SYSTEMS FOR COATING SUBSTRATES TO IMPROVE BIOACTIVITY AND BIOMOLECULE DELIVERY - The invention relates to polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings and, methods for their preparation and application to substrates to enhance the bioactivity and corrosion protection of the substrates' surface. The invention is particularly suitable for coating substrates employed for medical applications, such as but not limited to medical implant devices for drug and/or biologics delivery in a patient. The substrate has a positive or negative charge. The polyelectrolyte multilayer coatings include at least a first polymer layer and a second polymer layer. The first polymer and second polymer have opposite charges. Each of the polymer layers is individually applied using a layer-by-layer such that an alternating charge multilayer coating is formed. | 02-25-2016 |

20110299668 | Access mediation with presence aware call purpose announcements - A system and method for providing a context aware call purpose announcement is disclosed. The method comprises receiving a telephone call from a calling party to a called party on a digital telephony network. An operational state of the called party's telephone is identified. The calling party is enabled to create a custom message for the called party when the operational state of the called party's telephone is identified as busy. The custom message is delivered to the called party through the digital telephony network to enable the called party to determine whether to receive the telephone call from the calling party. | 12-08-2011 |

20100005749 | STEEL BUILDING FRAME SYSTEM - A frame assembly for a wide span steel building is disclosed. The assembly employs columns and rafters formed from two pieces of webbed channel stock that are joined together at their webs. A pre-drilled haunch plate connects the column and rafter. A brace formed from two lengths of channel stock joined together at their webs extends at an angle between the columns and rafters and each respective end of the brace is connected to the respective column and rafter via a brace plate. The brace provides increased strength in the frame assembly and enables the construction of wide span steel building from channel stock. | 01-14-2010 |
20130042568 | WIDE SPAN STATIC STRUCTURE - A building structure includes an upper chord element, a lower chord element and web elements extending between the upper chord element and the lower chord element. The upper chord element forms part of an outer surface of a roof for the building structure. | 02-21-2013 |

20110082449 | CARDIAC ABLATION SYSTEM WITH PULSED AIMING LIGHT - A method for treating a cardiac condition with visual inspection of a tissue treatment site includes the step of delivering an expanding member formed on a distal end of a catheter to a position adjacent a tissue treatment area within a patient's heart. The expandable member has an elastic portion configured to conform to the tissue treatment area. The method further includes the steps of expanding the expandable member thereby allowing the elastic portion of the expandable member to conform to the tissue treatment area and positioning an energy emitter at a first location within an inner lumen of the catheter. A visible aiming beam is projected during positioning of the energy emitter and ablative energy is delivered from the energy emitter to the tissue treatment area thereby resulting in a first spot lesion. The ablative energy is coincident with the aiming beam and the aiming beam is in the form of pulsed visible light to allow intermittent visual inspection of the first spot lesion at times when the aiming beam is not projected onto the tissue treatment area, thereby allowing visual inspection of the ablative characteristics and sufficiency of the first spot lesion. | 04-07-2011 |
