Abstract: A nerve regeneration device comprising a bioresorbable conduit and a matrix contained therein having elongate pores aligned with the longitudinal axis of the conduit. The matrix comprises collagen, fibronectin, laminin-1, and laminin-2, wherein the amount, by weight, of laminin-1 or laminin-2 is greater than the amount of fibronectin in the matrix.

Abstract: Some aspects of the present disclosure pertain to spherical devices that comprise a wire having a memorized shape comprising a spherical outer wire layer and a spherical inner wire layer disposed within the spherical outer wire layer. Other aspects of the disclosure pertain to methods of forming such devices, mandrels for forming such devices, and methods of using such devices.

Abstract: Occlusive plugs are provided which comprise a single elongate member that is insertable into and through a microcatheter and assumes a space-occupying shape when deployed into a vascular structure. The elongate member optionally includes one or more polymer fibers, one or more polymer sleeves to secure the polymer fibers to the elongate member, and/or a radiopaque marker band.

Abstract: A medical system may include an elongate member having a proximal end and a distal end, the elongate member being movable between a collapsed configuration and an expanded configuration, and a first therapeutic agent configured to treat a condition of the lung.

Abstract: 3D glasses including features for an enhanced viewing experience with lower production and operating costs for theaters. Keyed lenses and removable temples facilitate assembly and field repairs. Specific angles of lens placement and the provision of specific anti-reflective areas on the frames enhance the quality of the optical path content being viewed. RFID and radio chips increase accountability and collection of use statistics. Smooth areas enhance cleaning and lower the time and material costs for between use cleanings.

Abstract: A method for installing a pipe in a borehole and a pipe assembly for installation are provided which reduce the likelihood of any damage to the pipe during installation. The method for installing the pipe in the borehole includes: advancing a running device through the borehole from a proximal end toward a distal end: connecting a pipe assembly with the running device from the distal end, the pipe assembly including, the pipe and a flexible sleeve surrounding the pipe: retracting the running device through the borehole toward the proximal end so that the pipe assembly moves toward the proximal end: and disconnecting the pipe assembly from the running device. The pipe assembly includes a pipe having a protective coating and a flexible sleeve surrounding the pipe comprised of a continuous length of a flexible sleeve material. The flexible sleeve may he comprised of a length of a hose.

Abstract: A method and an apparatus for burning combustible gases contained in a mixture comprised of the combustible gases and a liquid. The apparatus comprises: a separator, having an upper end and a lower end. A first portion of the gases is directed out of the upper end and the liquid and a second portion of the gases are directed out of the lower end; an inlet; and a burner which communicates with the upper end such that the first portion contacts the burner for combustion and the combustion creates a vacuum effect which produces an air current outside of the separator from the lower end to the burner. The lower end communicates with the air current such that the second portion is drawn by the air current to the burner.
