  • Energy-activated adhesion layer for drug-polymer coated stent
    Publication number: 20050004646
    Abstract: The present invention provides a drug-polymer coated stent. The drug-polymer coated stent comprises a stent including a stent framework, an energy-activated adhesion coating disposed on the stent framework, and a drug polymer disposed on the energy-activated adhesion coating. The invention also provides a method of improving adhesion of a polymeric coating on a metallic stent. An adhesion promoter is mixed in a polymeric solution, which is applied to the metallic stent, dried and activated.

  • Water-proof air-pressure equalizing valve
    Patent number: 4071040
    Abstract: A water-proof air-pressure equalizing valve for an enclosure capable of being pressurized to match a wide range of ambient air pressures including that corresponding to the pressure of several feet of water when totally submerged, such as the instrument housing of a military-type field telephone set, comprises a sandwich structure having a thin air-permeable hydrophobic membrane clamped between two rigid perforated sheets providing mechanical support against deformation due to water or air pressure.
