  • Cardioplegic solution
    Patent number: 4988515
    Abstract: An improved amino acid enriched cardioplegic solution adapted for use in preventing and treating heart muscle damage due to regional ischemia. The solution includes a calcium ion concentration of between about 50-300 umol, a metabolizable substrate concentration of 400-1000 mg % and an osmolarity of between about 400-500 mOsmols.

  • Process for making diamond, and doped diamond films at low temperature
    Patent number: 4961958
    Abstract: A process and apparatus that may be used for the production of diamond and doped diamond films at high rates by activated reactive vapor deposition. Carbon is evaporated in a vacuum chamber in the presence of atomic hydrogen containing plasma to form diamond precursors which then deposit on a substrate located within the vacuum chamber. The substrate temperature is maintained at between about 20.degree.-600.degree. C.

  • Deposition of films onto large area substrates using modified reactive magnetron sputtering
    Patent number: 4931158
    Abstract: An apparatus and process for reactive magnetron sputtering wherein film deposition is controlled by placing a grid located over the primary plasma and an auxiliary plasma adjacent to the substrate. The auxiliary plasma is produced using a positively biased d.c. probe. Control of the deposited film properties is provided by varying the d.c. probe voltage and open area of the wire grid.
