  • Compositions and methods for preparing multiple-component composite materials
    Publication number: 20060008549
    Abstract: Methods for preparing fibrous monolith composite materials include continuously extruding cell and boundary material compositions. A filament is formed from a cell material composition and passed through a chamber of an extrusion assembly. A boundary material composition is extruded generally about the cell material composition filament and the two material compositions are co-extruded to form an extruded coated filament.

  • Application device for depositing a liquid substance locally on a surface to be treated
    Patent number: 5308343
    Abstract: This invention concerns a device for applying a medicated solution on the skin for dermatological treatment. This applicator (10) essentially comprises an elongated tubular component (11) with an internal cavity (12) in which is fitted a piston (18) secured to the end of a piston rod (21) integral with a micrometer screw mechanism (23). A chamber (27) made in the inner cavity (12) between the piston (18) and plug (13) is designed to contain the therapeutic solution which may be taken in or discharged through capillary conduits (14 and 17) of the plug (13) and an applicator end (16). This applicator makes it possible precisely to meter and deposit a predetermined volume of the treatment solution on the exact place to be treated.
