  • Vascular bifurcation prosthesis with multiple linked thin fronds
    Publication number: 20060025849
    Abstract: A prosthesis is disclosed for placement at an Os opening from a main body lumen to a branch body lumen. The prosthesis comprises a radially expansible support at one end, a circumferentially extending link at the other end and at least one frond extending axially therebetween. The support is configured to be deployed in the branch body lumen, with the circumferentially extending link in the main lumen and the frond extendable across the Os.

  • Enhancing inorganic carbon fixation by photosynthetic organisms
    Publication number: 20020042931
    Abstract: A method of enhancing inorganic carbon fixation by a photosynthetic organism. The method is effected by transforming cells of the photosynthetic organism with an expressible polynucleotide encoding a polypeptide having a bicarbonate transporter activity. Preferably, the polynucleotide further includes a plant promoter. Sequences and constructs for implementing the method are also described.

  • Stator valve assembly for a rotary machine
    Patent number: 4827713
    Abstract: A compressor bleed valve assembly 28 having an axially translatable valve ring 66 for a gas turbine engine 10 is disclosed. Various construction details which increase the sealing effectiveness of a valve ring 66 are developed. In one embodiment, the valve ring is adapted to engage a slot 56 as the valve ring is moved between the open to the closed position, the slot being contoured to provide a mechanical advantage as the valve ring moves to the closed position against resilient sealing members 58, 60 which axially engage the valve ring.
