摘要:
A stent or intraductal medical device manufactured from a tubular member having an inner tube tightly fitted into an outer tube is provided. Microdepots may be formed on the outer surface of the inner tube, and may contain radioactive, radiopaque or therapeutic substances. A method for manufacturing such a medical device or stent is also described. The material to be deposited on the inner tube may be deposited on the inner tube by dipping or immersion, or the material may be applied to the inner tube using micro-injection or electrodeposition. The material to be deposited may be applied to cavities or microdepots formed in the outer surface of the inner tube. Excess material may be removed from the inner tube by centrifugation or shaking, and the material to be deposited may be heated to bond the material to the surface of the microdepots on the inner tube.

Offline social facilitation systems, interactions, interfaces, and methods are disclosed for identifying and generating conversation topics, social behaviors, or other interpersonal interactions. An interpersonal network manager determines a set of social suggestions, such as conversation topics, based on current events and user interests. The interpersonal network manager maintains a set of matching values corresponding to each social suggestion, and further maintains information on characteristics of users in an interpersonal networking system. At an offline social activity, the interpersonal network manager scores the set of social suggestions against a group of guests based on the matching values and characteristics. Guests in the group are provided social suggestions based on the score.

Offline activity management systems, interactions, interfaces, and methods are disclosed for generating sets of offline social activities that may form the basis of social recommendations for users. An interpersonal network manager selects venues based on requirements such as a geographic area and generates potential offline social activities based on these venues. The interpersonal network manager tests the predicted fitness of the potential offline social activities against semi-random sets of users in the network, and selects potential offline social activities that are predicted to be the most enjoyable to the test users. The selected potential offline social activities are presented to users as offline social recommendations.

The present invention is directed to a pourable acidic hard surface cleaning and/or disinfecting composition which contains suspended inclusions which appear as visibly discernible, discrete particulate materials, preferably where said discrete particulate materials are based on alginates.
摘要:
A coil module applied in a transformer. The coil module includes at least one conductive wire and an insulating encapsulator. A portion of the conductive wire is wound into coils of a certain loop number. The coils are encapsulated by the insulating encapsulator. A metal core is provided when manufacturing a transformer. Desired coil modules are selected and installed onto the transformer so as to surround the metal core of the transformer. The coil modules are thus connected in series or in parallel for forming a desired specification of the transformer.

The invention includes container-shaped physical vapor deposition targets having a first conductive material in a container-shape and a second conductive material on an entirety of an exterior surface of the first conductive material. The second conductive material has a different composition than the first conductive material.
摘要:
A stent or intraductal medical device is provided having radiopaque marker material deposited on the surface of the stent or medical device to assist visualization of the device during implantation. A method for depositing a radiopaque material on an implantable medical device such as a stent is also described. The radiopaque material may be deposited on the medical device by dipping or immersion, or the radiopaque material may be applied to the device using micro-injection or electrodeposition. The radiopaque material may coat the entire surface of the stent, or only a portion of the stent, or it may be applied to cavities or microdepots formed in the outer surface of the medical device. Excess radiopaque material may be removed from the device by centrifugation or shaking, and the radiopaque material may be heated to bond the material to the surface of the device.
