摘要:
A replacement heart valve comprising a memory shape element. The various embodiments use internal body heat to seat and retain the valve within a blood passage. The element can be provided in a variety of shapes and sizes, and is at least partially encased within an inert and pliant encasing material. The encasing material is one that is adapted to be contiguous with the structure of the valve nozzle or backflow-resistant leaf structure, and may be used in combination with existing stents or an incorporated stent, including ones having a structure similar to conventional stents.

Compounds of Formula I, their N-oxides and salts are disclosed wherein A is O or S; G is a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring or a 5- or 6-membered nonaromatic heterocyclic ring optionally including one or two ring members selected from C(═O), SO or S(O)2, each ring optionally substituted with one to four R2; each J is independently a phenyl ring, a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring or an aromatic 8-, 9- or 10-membered fused carbobicyclic or heterobicyclic ring system, wherein each ring or ring system is optionally substituted with one to four R3; and R1, R2, R3, R4 and n are as defined in the disclosure. A composition comprising a compound of Formula I, and a method for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I are also disclosed.
摘要:
This invention provides compounds of Formula I, their N-oxides and agriculturally suitable salts wherein A and B are independently O or S; J is an optionally substituted 5- or 6-memebered nonaromatic heterocyclic ring; K is taken together with the two contiguous linking carbon atoms to form a phenyl ring or a 5- or 6-membered heteroaromatic ring, each ring optionally substituted; and R1, R2, and R3 are as defined in the disclosure. Also disclosed are methods for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising contacting the invertebrate pest or its environment with a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, an N-oxide thereof or a suitable salt of the compound (e.g., as a composition described herein). This invention also pertains to a composition for controlling an invertebrate pest comprising a biologically effective amount of a compound of Formula I, an N-oxide thereof or a suitable salt of the compound and at least one additional component selected from the group consisting of surfactants, solid diluents and liquid diluents.
摘要:
An ATM Packet Access Gateway (ATM PAG) system manages an ATM bearer path extending between ATM endpoints participating, for example, in a VoATM call. The system includes an ATM PAG having a first ATM bearer connection termination for terminating a first bearer connection with a first ATM endpoint, and a second ATM connection termination for terminating a second bearer connection with a second ATM endpoint. A call control entity is associated with the ATM PAG and communicates call control instructions thereto. The call control instructions include instructions for logically concatenating the first and second ATM bearer connections into an active ATM bearer path extending between the first ATM endpoint and the second ATM endpoint. A Media Access Gateway (MAG) function of the ATM PAG is responsible for establishing the connections that form the ATM bearer path. An ATM switch function of the ATM PAG moves bearer traffic ATM packet payloads over the active ATM bearer path.
摘要:
A method for rendering water-insoluble materials water-soluble is provided. The method is useful for solubilizing substantially water-insoluble bioactive materials such as drugs. This is accomplished by forming a non-covalently bonded complex between the drug and a polyalkylene oxide polymer end capped with an alkyl or olefinic group which is soluble in both water and an organic solvent. This is carried out by combining the desired medicinal agent with the polymer is an organic solvent, removing the solvent and dissolving the complex in water or aqueous buffer. When the organic solvent is evaporated, a solid complex is recovered which is water-soluble. Methods of treatment with the complexes are also provided.
摘要:
Compounds of Formula I, and their N-oxides and agriculturally suitable salts, are disclosed which are useful for controlling undesired vegetation wherein R1 is cyclopropyl optionally substituted with 1-5 R5, isopropyl optionally substituted with 1-5 R6, or phenyl optionally substituted with 1-3 R7; R2 is ((O)jC(R15)(R16))kR; R is CO2H or a herbicidally effective derivative of CO2H; R3 is halogen, cyano, nitro, OR20, SR21 or N(R22)R23; R4 is —N(R24)R25 or —NO2; j is 0 or 1; and k is 0 or 1; provided that when k is 0, then j is 0; and R5, R6, R7, R15, R16, R20, R21, R22, R23, R24 and R25 are as defined in the disclosure. Also disclosed are compositions comprising the compounds of Formula I and a method for controlling undesired vegetation which involves contacting the vegetation or its environment with an effective amount of a compound of Formula I. Also disclosed are compositions comprising a compound of Formula I and at least one additional active ingredient selected from the group consisting of an other herbicide and a herbicide safener.
摘要:
A personalized package creation system uses an imaging device to capture an image of a barcode. An image capture module decodes the barcode to retrieve data, such as package dimension data and one or more package structural parameters. Based on the package dimensions and the structural parameter, a processing device defines a set of cutting instructions. An automated package generation device applies the cutting instructions and uses a cutting device to creating a package.
