Publication number: 20240082024Abstract: A stent device includes generally cylindrical rings aligned along a longitudinal axis, and interconnected by interconnecting members. Each interconnecting member includes a first coupling end, a second coupling end, and an elongate portion therebetween. The first coupling end, the elongate portion, and the second coupling end combine in either a first orientation or a second orientation, which are substantially mirror images. For each interconnecting member, the first coupling end can intersect with a midpoint of a transition region of a substantially repeating curved segment on one of the rings, and the second coupling end can intersect with a midpoint of a curved segment of a different and immediately adjacent ring. The interconnecting members can be arranged in rows extending longitudinally along the device. Along each row, consecutive interconnected members alternate between the first orientation and the second orientation. A cover may be provided over the stent device.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2023Publication date: March 14, 2024Applicant: ATRIUM MEDICAL CORPORATIONInventors: John LANE, David HEIM, Christine SCHICK, Jennifer LETZELTER, Susan HAMELIN

Patent number: 6838070Abstract: The invention relates to a method of producing cyanuric chloride by trimerizing chlorocyan at a temperature of at least 250° C. on washed activated carbon as the catalyst. The service life of the catalyst can be improved by using an activated coal with an effective pore volume V eff of equal or greater 0.17 ml/g, with V eff being the result of pores with a pore diameter ranging from 0.5 to 7 nm.Type: GrantFiled: March 8, 2000Date of Patent: January 4, 2005Assignee: Degussa AGInventors: Walter Boerner, Ralph Marquardt, Stephanie Schauhoff, Christine Schick, Rudolf Vanheertum
