摘要:
Radiation-curable coating compositions for a surface such as a concrete floor, which include at least one multi-functional monomer or oligomer, at least one photoinitiator, at least one glossy band matting agent, and at least one matte band matting agent are described and claimed. These low gloss coating compositions allow for application of the coating composition over an area larger than a UV radiation source, while minimizing the formation of gloss bands or gloss lines that exhibit a different level of gloss in the areas where light leakage from a side light shielding of the UV radiation source results in a very weak radiation intensity, as compared to the areas subjected to high radiation intensity. These low gloss coating compositions are optionally clear topcoat compositions. In addition, a method for coating a surface with a radiation-curable coating composition that results in a cured surface with minimal differences in gloss exhibited following curing by a UV radiation source, and a surface coated with the radiation curable coating compositions of the instant claimed invention are described and claimed.

Radiation-curable coating compositions for a surface such as a concrete floor, which include one or more acrylate monomers or oligomers having at least four crosslinkable double bonds, at least one photoinitiator, one or more fillers, and at least one pigment or dye are described and claimed. These coating compositions allow for application of at least 0.10 mm (4 mil) thickness of the coating composition over an area larger than a radiation source, without the formation of wrinkles along the shoulder area of each pass of the radiation source in the areas where weak intensity light from a side edge of the radiation source is capable of partially curing only a portion of the coating composition thickness. The coating compositions optionally further comprise one or more tertiary amine compounds comprising zero or one crosslinkable double bonds, the one or more tertiary amine compounds providing an amine value of at least 7.5 mg KOH per gram of the total radiation-curable resins of the coating composition. In addition, a method for coating a surface, and a surface coated with the radiation curable coating compositions of the instant claimed invention are described and claimed.

A system and method of analysis for a medical image are described. A medical image is received and analyzed, and an initial border of a region within the medical image is determined based on the analysis of the medical image. A user input is received indicating one or more control points, where each of the one or more control points is located inside or outside of the initial border. A modified border of the region is determined based on the analysis and the user input, the modified border passing through the one or more control points.

This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus for packaging a device, for example an electromechanical systems (EMS) device, with a seal. In one aspect, the EMS device includes a primary seal positioned around a perimeter of the EMS device and in contact with a substrate and a cover plate, and a secondary seal positioned around portions of an outer periphery of the primary seal and in contact with the substrate and the cover plate. The primary seal can have low outgassing and low permeability of water vapor, and the secondary seal can have high mechanical strength that does not degrade when adhered to glass.

Radiation-curable coating compositions for a surface such as a concrete floor, which include at least one multi-functional monomer or oligomer, a polymer, at least one photoinitiator, and one or more tertiary amine compounds containing zero or one crosslinkable double bonds are described and claimed. These coating compositions allow for application of at least about 0.15 mm (6 mil) thickness of the coating composition over an area larger than a UV radiation source, without the formation of wrinkles or buckles following each pass of the UV radiation source in the areas where light leakage from a side light shielding of the UV radiation source results in a very weak radiation intensity. These coating compositions are optionally clear, in addition, a method for coating a surface with a radiation-curable coating composition that results in a smooth cured surface with no wrinkles or buckles formed following each pass of the UV radiation source, and a surface coated with the radiation curable coating compositions of the instant claimed invention are described and claimed.

Described herein are systems and methods that integrate the injection of contrast agents with imaging catheters. In an embodiment, an imaging catheter comprises a catheter sheath and an imager, e.g., ultrasound transducer. The imaging catheter further comprises a contrast lumen having one or more exit ports for injecting contrast agent into the patient. The contrast lumen extends along the catheter sheath and may be external to or integrated into the catheter sheath. Preferably, the exit port of the contrast lumen is positioned along the catheter sheath at a relatively short known distance from the imager. The catheter may include multiple contrast lumens for injecting different types of contrast agents. In an embodiment, a synchronizing controller is provided to automatically synchronize the injection of contrast agent with imaging. In another embodiment, drug-filled microbubbles in combination with ultrasound imaging are used to deliver a controlled drug dose to a specific treatment site.

An process of forming a chiral conducting polymer, e.g., polyaniline, is provided including reacting a monomer, e.g., an aniline monomer, in the presence of a chiral dopant acid to produce a first reaction mixture by addition of a solution including a first portion of an oxidizing agent, the first portion of oxidizing agent characterized as insufficient to allow complete reaction of the monomer, and further reacting the first reaction mixture in the presence of the chiral dopant acid by addition of a solution including a second portion of the oxidizing agent, the second portion of oxidizing agent characterized as insufficient to allow complete reaction of the monomer, and repeating the reaction by addition of further portions of the oxidizing agent until the monomer reaction is complete to produce a chiral conducting polymer, e.g., polyaniline. A preferred process includes addition of a catalyst during the reaction, the catalyst selected from among the group consisting of phenylene diamine, aniline oligomers and amino-capped aniline oligomers and metal salts.The processes of the present invention further provide a resultant polyaniline product having a chirality level defined by a molar ellipticity of from about 40×103 degree-cm2/decimole to about 700×103 degree-cm2/decimole. The processes of the present invention further provide a resultant polyaniline product having a nanofiber structure with a diameter of from about 30 nanometers to about 120 nanometers and from about 1 micron to about 5 microns in length.
