  • Drug delivery system and methods of use
    Patent number: 8361492
    Abstract: Electrospun fibers are utilized to improve the mechanical characteristics of a contact lens reducing the weight and mechanical strength of the polymers from which the lenses are typically formed. Electrospun fibers are also utilized as a drug delivery system, both through direct use in the eye and by inclusion of the fibers in a contact lens. The fibers are loaded with therapeutic drugs by a variety of methods and processed by coating and cross-linking the fibers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 24, 2009
    Date of Patent: January 29, 2013
    Assignee: Ocugenics, LLC
    Inventors: Shachar Tauber, Randall Fuerst, Keela Davis, Lyle Bowman, Gary Wnek, Joseph J. Bango, Jr.

  • Method and means of restoring physically damaged compact discs
    Patent number: 6368526
    Abstract: An improved method and means for eliminating scratches and other mechanical surface damage from polycarbonate compact disc plastic surfaces. The method consists in applying a liquid of suitable composition to the surface of a compact disc or plastic object, allowing an average of 10 seconds or less for the solvent to soften the plastic substrate, and removing the liquid by draining and evaporation. No abrasive, filler or polishing compounds are required. Suitable liquids include those comprising a solvent for the plastic and a non-solvent diluent and a small quantity of surfactant.
