Abstract: A functionalized electrospun matrix for the controlled-release of biologically active agents, such as growth factors, is presented. The functionalized matrix comprises a matrix polymer, a compatibilizing polymer and a biomolecule or other small functioning molecule. In certain aspects the electrospun polymer fibers comprise at least one biologically active molecule functionalized with low molecular weight heparin.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a biologically active functionalized electrospun matrix to permit immobilization and long-term delivery of biologically active agents. In particular the invention relates to a functionalized polymer matrix comprising a matrix polymer, a compatibilizing polymer and a biomolecule or other small functioning molecule. In certain aspects the electrospun polymer fibers comprise at least one biologically active molecule functionalized with low molecular weight heparin. Examples of active molecules that may be used with the multicomponent polymer of the invention include, for example, a drug, a biopolymer, for example a growth factor, a protein, a peptide, a nucleotide, a polysaccharide, a biological macromolecule or the like. The invention is further directed to the formation of functionalized crosslinked matrices, such as hydrogels, that include at least one functionalized compatibilizing polymer capable of assembly.

Abstract: A video camera 100 for remote operation or surveillance has a lens system 1 supported on a fixed base plate 26 and a pair of image sensors 14, 15, 204 mounted onto a movable plate 13. A pair of balls slides 11, 12 are attached to the fixed base plate 26 and the movable plate 13 to provide linear movement of the movable plate along a linear motion axis 50. An actuator 5 is disposed between the fixed base plate 26 and the movable plate 13 to move the movable plate 13 and each of the image sensors 14, 15, 204 along the linear motion axis 50 to dispose either the first image sensor 14 or the second image sensor 15 in and imagining position where the lens system 1 forms a scene image onto its active surface. In a preferred embodiment, the first image sensor 14 is an Electron Multiplication CCD array suitable for night time imaging and the second sensor 15 is a color CCD array suitable for day light imaging.
