    Abstract: Medical devices having a coating comprising an ionic polymer for electromagnetically-controlled release of a therapeutic agent. Release of the therapeutic agent from the coating is facilitated or modulated by the application of an electromagnetic field to the medical device. Exposure to the electromagnetic field may cause the release of the therapeutic agent in various ways, including electrochemical changes in the ionic polymer, structural changes in the coating and/or ionic polymers, changes in the permeability of the coating, changes in the orientation of the ionic polymers, or motion of the ionic polymers. Also disclosed are methods for delivering a therapeutic agent using electromagnetic fields.

    Abstract: An abrasive, fluid jet cutting apparatus, and its method of construction and operation, are disclosed that reduce the wear and erosion problems typically experienced in the cutting jet's mixing tube. This improved fluid jet cutting apparatus comprises (a) a chamber having an inlet for receiving a pressurized fluid jet, a port for receiving a flow of abrasive particles which are entrained into the fluid jet, and an exit through which the fluid jet and entrained abrasives exit the chamber, (b) a mixing tube having an entry port for receiving said fluid jet and entrained abrasives, an inner wall for directing the flow of said fluid jet and entrained abrasives, and an outlet port through which said fluid jet and entrained abrasives exit said tube, wherein the tube entry port is proximate the chamber exit, (c) a lubricating fluid reservoir that surrounds at least a portion of the outer wall of the mixing tube, (d) wherein at least a portion of the mixing tube wall is porous, and (e) wherein the lubricating fluid passes from the lubricating reservoir and through the porous wall to lubricate at least a portion of the surface of the mixing tube wall so as to resist erosion of the tube wall when the fluid jet and entrained abrasives flow through the mixing tube.

    Abstract: A nozzle apparatus for use with an abrasive fluid jet cutting system, and its method of construction and operation, are disclosed that reduce the wear and erosion problems typically experienced in the cutting jet's nozzle. This improved nozzle apparatus comprises (a) a nozzle having an entry port for receiving a slurry consisting of a carrier fluid and abrasive particles, an inner wall for directing the flow of the slurry, and an outlet port through which the slurry exits the nozzle, (b) wherein at least a portion of the nozzle wall is porous, and (c) a lubricating fluid chamber that surrounds the porous portion of the outer wall of the nozzle, the chamber having a port where a lubricating fluid enters the chamber, with the chamber port connecting to an input pipe which connects to a filter for filtering contaminants that might clog the pores of the porous portion of the nozzle. The nozzle operates by having the lubricating fluid pass from the lubricating reservoir and through the porous wall to lubricate at least a portion of the surface of the nozzle inner wall so as to resist erosion of the wall, as well as result in an abrasive slurry jet with improved coherence and cutting efficiency.

    Abstract translation: 公开了一种用于磨料流体射流切割系统的喷嘴装置及其结构和操作方法,其减少了切割喷嘴喷嘴中通常经历的磨损和侵蚀问题。 这种改进的喷嘴装置包括(a)喷嘴,其具有用于接收由载体流体和磨料颗粒组成的浆料的入口,用于引导浆料流动的内壁和浆料离开喷嘴的出口, (b)其中所述喷嘴壁的至少一部分是多孔的,以及(c)围绕所述喷嘴的外壁的多孔部分的润滑流体室,所述室具有润滑流体进入所述室的端口, 连接到输入管的室口连接到过滤器,用于过滤可能堵塞喷嘴的多孔部分的孔的污染物。 喷嘴通过使润滑流体从润滑储存器通过并穿过多孔壁以润滑喷嘴内壁的表面的至少一部分以便抵抗壁的侵蚀,并且导致磨料浆料喷射 具有改进的一致性和切割效率。
