  • Patent number: 9748855
    Abstract: A bidirectional DC-DC converter is disclosed. According to the bidirectional DC-DC converter, switching loss is reduced by implementing zero voltage switching of switching devices in a boost mode of the bidirectional DC-DC converter. Accordingly, it is possible to realize the high efficiency of power conversion. Further, switching devices of the bidirectional DC-DC converter are controlled using simple logic devices, thereby controlling a plurality of directional DC-DC converters coupled in parallel to each other.

  • Patent number: 8075562
    Abstract: Controlled release of biopharmaceutical growth factors from a hydroxyapatite coating on a bioresorbable interference screw used in cruciate ligament reconstruction surgery on a human. Biologically active scaffolds, such as interference bone screws used for ligament fixation, made by growing calcium phosphate-based hydroxyapatite coatings on bioresorbable poly(?-hydroxy ester) scaffolds that provide controlled mineral dissolution and controlled release of bone morphogenetic protein-2. The biologically active scaffold provides improved bioavailability of BMP-2 growth factor that in turn provides enhanced graft-bone healing in the tibial bone tunnel. The coating method uses surface hydrolysis and modified simulated body fluid incubation which does not require solvent or heat and is conducted at room temperature.
