  • Publication number: 20080065207
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a material derived from sea cucumber collagen fibrils for use in corneal replacements or as an implantable contact lens. The present invention also discloses a method for producing the material. The collagen fibrils are centrifuged into orthogonal stacks of lamellae comprised of aligned fibrils. The resulting structure is a transparent film of arbitrary thickness very similar in structure to mammalian corneal tissue.

  • Publication number: 20080020012
    Abstract: The subject invention concerns non-degradable three dimensional porous collagen scaffolds and coatings. These scaffolds can be prepared around sensors for implantation into a body. A specific embodiment of the invention concerns implantable glucose sensors. Sensors comprising a collagen scaffold of the invention have improved biocompatibility by minimizing tissue reactions while stimulating angiogenesis. The subject invention also concerns methods for preparing collagen scaffolds of the invention. The subject invention also concerns sensors that have a collagen scaffold of the invention around the exterior of the sensor.

  • Patent number: 6116200
    Abstract: A system for angular adjustment of a shaft relative to a driving gear, preferably of a camshaft of an internal combustion engine, includes a hydraulically controllable angular adjustment device rotating with the shaft and having hydraulic supply ducts in a non-rotatably fitted end cap and oil distribution ducts, associated with the supply ducts, in the angular adjustment device. The end cap is provided in its inner circumferential region facing the direction of adjustment with at least one recess shaped to receive an oil distribution ring. The oil distribution ring is shaped so as to be connectable non-rotatably to the end ring and to be movable transverse to the common axial direction, and the internal diameter of the recess is greater than the external diameter of the oil distribution ring.
