  • METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR SOCIAL CONTESTS
    Publication number: 20240020772
    Abstract: A method and system for social contests. The method and system include an application for social contests that allows new social contests to be created for private and public groups of people. An administrator of a social contest can create a unique new social contest or select from plural pre-determined social contests. Participants in the social contest can invite their friends to participate in the social contest and participants can message each other directly during the social contest. A graphical user interface is presented on the application to allow creation and administration of the social contests.

  • Method to minimize molecular weight drop of poly(L-lactide) stent during processing
    Patent number: 9278470
    Abstract: A method to reduce or minimize the reduction in molecular weight of a stent during processing is disclosed. The stent has a scaffolding including a polymer formulation comprising PLLA and polymandelide. The polymandelide reduces the molecular weight drop during processing, particularly during sterilization. The stent scaffolding can further include one or more additional stabilizing agents that additionally reduce the molecular weight drop during processing.

  • Calorimetry as a routine dosimeter at an electron beam processing facility
    Patent number: 6762418
    Abstract: The invention is generally directed to methods of radiation processing and methods for routine dosimetry, such as for the measurement of radiation dosages delivered to items to be processed by the application of radiation. Radiation-induced heat in an irradiated item is measured with a calorimeter and used to determine the dose of radiation received by the item. Resistive elements such as thermistors may be used in calorimeters to measure the change in temperature of an item receiving radiation, such as in electron beam radiation. Calorimeters exposed to irradiation in the same manner as irradiated items provide routine dosimetry for radiation processing.
