  • Body fluid leakage detection aqueous composition
    Patent number: 11730405
    Abstract: A body fluid leakage detection aqueous composition, for use e.g. in intraoperative pancreatic fluid leakage detection. The composition comprises a gelling agent, increasing the viscosity of the composition, and buffering species, the composition thereby being buffered. The gelling agent is cross-linked ?-glucan microspheres. Further, the composition comprises a pH-indicator. The pH of the composition is at least 0.1 pH units lower, or higher, than a pKa of the pH-indicator.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 3, 2020
    Date of Patent: August 22, 2023

  • Method and apparatus for manufacturing a metal contact with overhanging edges
    Patent number: 4931136
    Abstract: This invention relates to a method and apparatus for manufacturing a metal contact with overhanging upper edges. The metal contact has at least one specific layer tapering away from the surface of a semiconductor layer structure. The metal contact is formed by RIE and mask technology, in which a concavely formed equipotential boundary surface is formed between an anode and a cathode. In a preferred embodiment, the curvature is achieved by selecting the effective areas of the cathode and anode so that their rate is no greater than 3:4.
