摘要:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for an improved coating for medical devices. The coating is an interfacial biomaterial (“IFBM”) which comprises at least one binding module that binds to the surface of a device (“surface-binding module”) and at least one binding module that performs another function (“affector module”) and which acts to inhibit biofilm formation.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for an improved coating for medical devices. Provided is an interfacial biomaterial or biofunctional coating composition comprising at least one binding domain that has bind specificity for a surface material of a medical device, and at least one binding domain that has binding specificity for an antimicrobial composition. Methods for coating a surface of a medical device, and for manufacturing of a medical device, comprise contacting the surface to be coated with the biofunctional coating material in an amount effective to form a coating.

The present invention provides compositions and methods for an improved coating for medical devices. Provided is a biofunctional coating composition comprising at least one binding domain that has binding specificity for a metallic surface material of a medical device, and at least one binding domain that has binding specificity for cells of endothelial cell lineage. Methods for coating a metallic surface of a medical device, and for manufacturing of a medical device, comprise contacting the metallic surface to be coated with the biofunctional coating material in an amount effective to form a coating, and may further comprise contacting the coated surface with cells of endothelial cell lineage to bind the cells of endothelial cell lineage to the coated surface.

A paired basis swap risk and credit mitigation system and collateral minimization system. In swaps used to hedge forward contracts a system authority interposes itself and forms paired basis swaps with each of the paired swap participants and itself together with a Swaption to allow it to maintain a level book in the event of a default by any counterparty. In the event of a default the system authority has the ability to either terminate a swap and pay the non-defaulting counterparty an agreed upon termination payment, terminate the non-defaulting counterparty's swap and exercise the swaption to substitute a correlated swap with appropriate correlated termination payment; or substitute a new counterparty with an identical swap as the paired swap participant. Paired basis swap control through delivery can be enabled to continue the risk and credit mitigation benefits of the system.

The invention is directed to a reactor system comprising at least one reactor wherein makeup water for said system is preheated by water/steam exiting said reactor. In a preferred embodiment the system comprises plural reactors and the invention provides for each reactor to independently achieve isothermal operating conditions.

摘要:
Peptides have been identified that bind with high affinity to dyed hair. Peptide-based hair reagents formed by coupling a dyed-hair-binding peptide to a benefit agent are described. The peptide-based hair reagents include peptide-based hair conditioners and hair colorants. The peptide-based hair conditioners and hair colorants are comprised of a dyed-hair-binding peptide coupled to a hair conditioning agent or a coloring agent, respectively. The peptide-based hair reagents or the dyed-hair-binding peptides may also be used as a protective sealant to improve color retention of dyed hair.
