Abstract: The medical device of the invention comprises a surface comprising at least one outermost portion and a plurality of depressions. The depressions occupy at least about 80% of the surface area of the surface. The depressions contain a coating material that preferably comprises a biologically active material and/or polymer, and the outermost portion is substantially free of any coating material. The invention is also directed to a method for manufacturing a medical device. The method comprises applying a coating material to the surface of the medical device by using at least one roller.

Abstract: A novel compound having the formula (I): ##STR1## or a reactive derivative or functional equivalent thereof, wherein m is an integer from 1 to 4, and R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are same or different and selected from hydrogen and 1-4C alkyl; a fluorescent conjugate having the formula (III): ##STR2## wherein m R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 have the meaning given in claim 1, and R.sub.4 is a substituent attached to the keto group of formula (III) by a covalen bond. The new compounds and conjugates are usefual as fluorescent labelling agents.

Abstract: A competitive toss game where each player has tossable play objects such as bean bags and there is a target apparatus with one or more receptacles each having a pivotally mounted flippable lid. Each lid is provided with an opening large enough for a bean bag to be tossed directly into the associated receptacle. The bean bags of each player bear an encoding or indicia, with the indicia being different for each player. Thus, the bean bags of one player may be one color and the bean bags of the other player may be a different color. The lids have different indicia on each side, the indicia on one side matching the indicia of one player's bean bags, the indicia on the other side matching the indicia of the other player's bean bags.

Abstract: A toy game for removing objects from a trough representative of a trash dump with self-propelled toy vehicle. The game is comprised of a game board with longitudinally spaced opposed player ends with a playing surface eXtending between the opposed player ends. The playing surface includes a trough in which removable objects are disposed and a pair of inclined walls eXtending upwardly and outwardly from the trough toward each of the opposed player ends. The objects located within the trough are irregularly shaped score-representing objects and are movable by a self-propelled toy vehicle, preferably in the characterization of a bulldozer. The players take turns positioning and aiming the toy vehicle on the inclined wall at their player end and permitting the toy vehicle to run down the inclined wall into the trough in an attempt to engage an object and move the object up the inclined wall at the opposed player end.
