Patent number: 6975893Abstract: An in vivo electrochemical sensor including a working electrode, and an analyte-responsive sensing layer proximate the working electrode. The sensing layer is exposed at an edge of the sensor, wherein the sensor signal is limited, at least in part, by mass transport of analyte to the sensing layer. The sensor is configured and arranged for implantation into the body of a mammal for contact with body fluids of the mammal. The analyte diffuses to the sensing element via the edge of the sensor, thereby restricting mass transport of the analyte to the sensing element. This is because the solution-contacting surface area of the sensor edge is much smaller than an open face of the sensing layer.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2003Date of Patent: December 13, 2005Assignee: TheraSense, Inc.Inventors: James L. Say, Henning Sakslund, Michael F. Tomasco, Jay D. Audett, Hyun Cho, Duane O. Yamasaki, Adam Heller

Patent number: 5591551Abstract: A lithographic coating and method of framing a lithographic image are disclosed. The method comprises coating at least a portion of a surface of an article with a radiation-crosslinkable polymer, and exposing the coated surface to a pattern of radiation to crosslink the polymer in a lithographic image. The functionalized polymer is a copolymer of an isoolefin of 4 to 7 carbon atoms and para-alkylstyrene, wherein the para-alkylstyrene is functionalized with a radiation reactive group at the para-alkyl group of the para-alkylstyrene.Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 1995Date of Patent: January 7, 1997Assignee: Exxon Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Jay D. Audett, Kenneth O. McElrath

Patent number: 5331049Abstract: A water-curable hot melt adhesive system is disclosed. The system uses silane hydrolyzable functionality grafted onto an ethylene polymer component, and a tackifier compatible therewith. The ethylene polymer component is a copolymer of ethylene and a hydrocarbyl ester of an .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid, and the tackifier component provides the adhesive with sufficient silanol condensation catalytic activity to accelerate water curing. The formulation is applied to a substrate surface as a hot melt at a moderate temperature, and subsequently cured by moisture or in a warm water bath. The invention also embodies structural compositions having glass, metallic or leather surfaces adhered with the adhesive and a method for making structural composites.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1990Date of Patent: July 19, 1994Assignee: Exxon Chemical Patents Inc.Inventors: Jay D. Audett, Mun F. Tse

Patent number: 5135816Abstract: A method for preparing a substrate coated or laminated with a multiblock copolymer comprising endblocks of phenylbutadiene and an elastomeric midblock of a conjugated diene such as isoprene or butadiene is disclosed. The copolymer is crosslinkable by EB radiation such that the crosslinks are confined primarily to the endblock domains in the polymer with minimal crosslinking occurring in the rubbery matrix. Also disclosed are blends of the copolymers with tackifier resins compatible with the midblock regions. The blends provide a curable PSA having enhanced cohesive strength while maintaining adhesive properties.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 1991Date of Patent: August 4, 1992Assignee: Exxon Chemical Patents Inc.Inventor: Jay D. Audett
