Patent number: 12091471Abstract: Provided is a tunable biopolymer hydrogel produced from two processed natural polysaccharides for use as a hemostat. If desired, the hydrogel formation can be tuned so that the hydrogel forms within seconds when applied to a tissue lesion. The resulting hydrogel can adhere to tissue and, without swelling, produce hemostasis within seconds after application to tissue of interest. The hydrogel also captures, aggregates and concentrates platelets and red blood cells at the site of the tissue lesion thereby initiating a clotting cascade at the site of the lesion. The hemostat can be used to prevent blood loss during surgical procedures, for example, during brain, spine or other surgical procedures where hemostasis is desirable, and is particularly useful during surgical procedures where swelling of the hemostat (e.g., in the brain or spine) would be detrimental to the subject.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2019Date of Patent: September 17, 2024Assignee: Endomedix, Inc.Inventors: Piyush Modak, Malavika Nadig, Richard Russo

Publication number: 20080092938Abstract: One-dimensional nanostructures having uniform diameters of less than approximately 200 nm. These inventive nanostructures, which we refer to as “nanowires”, include single-crystalline homostructures as well as heterostructures of at least two single-crystalline materials having different chemical compositions. Because single-crystalline materials are used to form the heterostructure, the resultant heterostructure will be single-crystalline as well. The nanowire heterostructures are generally based on a semiconducting wire wherein the doping and composition are controlled in either the longitudinal or radial directions, or in both directions, to yield a wire that comprises different materials. Examples of resulting nanowire heterostructures include a longitudinal heterostructure nanowire (LOHN) and a coaxial heterostructure nanowire (COHN).Type: ApplicationFiled: December 22, 2006Publication date: April 24, 2008Inventors: Arun Majumdar, Ali Shakouri, Timothy Sands, Peidong Yang, Samuel Mao, Richard Russo, Henning Feick, Eicke Weber, Hannes Kind, Michael Huang, Haoquan Yan, Yiying Wu, Rong Fan

Patent number: 5233540Abstract: A method and apparatus for reducing repetitive vibrations in a region or structure by applying a plurality of control vibrations via a plurality of actuators (13) located in the region or structure (11) and cyclically updating the control vibrations to improve the reduction of the repetitive vibrations are disclosed. The repetitive vibrations are sensed (14) at a plurality of locations in the region or structure and decomposed into a number of frequency components. Next, a first estimate of each control vibration, formed of the same frequency components, that together will reduce the sensed vibrations is made. Each first control vibration estimate is applied to the region or structure via an actuator (13). Thereafter, each control vibration is cyclically updated to improve the reduction of the sensed vibrations whether or not changes occur in the repetitive vibrations, the region or structure (11), or the apparatus used to carry out the method of the invention.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 1990Date of Patent: August 3, 1993Assignee: The Boeing CompanyInventors: Anders O. Andersson, Richard A. Russo
