Patent number: 8069751Abstract: The “invention” is a unique device that has but one relevant purpose and that is to engage both regular and large mouthed mason jars that have been vacuum sealed with a “dome lid” (without a ring), thus attached by a user screwing the invention's two tiered body onto the selected mason jar. The top tier of the invention receives a regular mouthed mason jar while the lower tier receives a large mouthed mason jar. Once screwed onto the existing jar the user depresses the appropriate level leaf spring, thus inserting the associated lifting pin underneath the lip of the present dome lid and then, while holding the mechanism inward, the user unscrews the invention's body causing a counterclockwise and upward force on the dome lid via the lifting pin separating the dome lid from the mason jar, opening it.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2009Date of Patent: December 6, 2011Inventor: Darryl William Barton

Publication number: 20090216320Abstract: A therapeutic system and a method that uses stents, and/or other implantable devices (104) for local delivery of a therapeutic agent is disclosed. A therapeutic formulation (102) may include particles of a biocompatible magnetic or magnetizable material that carry the therapeutic agent, or magnetically responsive cells. The therapeutic formulation (102) is intravenously administered to a mammalian subject. A portion of the formulation (102) is delivered to the proximity of a device (104) implanted in the vascular system of the subject by externally generating a magnetic field gradient (106) on the implantable device (104). The portion of the therapeutic formulation (102) not delivered to the proximity of the implantable device (104) is removed from the vascular system. The method allows for the repeated administration of the same or different therapeutic agent, and further, has the option of locally injecting, or alternatively, peripherally administering, the therapeutic agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 20, 2007Publication date: August 27, 2009Applicants: The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Drexel UniversityInventors: Robert J.
