Filed:

Dec 23, 2006

Appl. No.:

11/644267

Inventors:

Ingo Werner Scheer - La Jolla CA, US

International Classification:

A61L 33/00

US Classification:

427 224, 427 8, 427 225, 4274211, 427424, 427425, 4274273, 4274274, 4274275, 118500

Abstract:

A holding device and method is provided for efficiently applying a coating on the exterior surface of a tubular hollow body, while preventing coating application on the interior surface and coating defects. The holding device of the present invention comprises at least two structures contacting the inner surface of the tubular hollow body and extending to a portion where the structures are connected and rotary motion is induced to rotate the tubular hollow body. The structures are arranged and shaped so that an inner hollow section is formed in which excess coating material can accumulate.

Appl. No.:

11/243142

Inventors:

Ingo Werner Scheer - La Jolla CA, US

International Classification:

G05D 7/00
G05D 11/00

US Classification:

700283, 239 11, 239117, 382209, 73 6453

Abstract:

The purpose of the invention is to provide a method to characterize a spray pattern by detecting and quantifying asymmetries resulting in detailed information on location, size, and type of asymmetries within the spray pattern, which are important for spray characterization comparability and classification. A system is provided for in-situ monitoring of the spray characteristics.

B05B 1/00

US Classification:

427 21, 427 224, 427 225, 4274211, 239301

Abstract:

A method to coat a substrate for the formation of coatings having a desired surface morphology is provided, wherein the roughness and the total surface area of the coating can be varied during the coating process. The method of the present invention comprises the steps of generating droplets from a coating composition, transporting the droplets to the substrate and depositing a majority of the droplets on the substrate.

International Classification:

G01C 3/08

US Classification:

356 307, 356 301, 356 31, 356 315, 356 401

Abstract:

The purpose of the invention is to ensure high-quality coatings of medical implants using a new data evaluation and process control approach. Information on spray errors, such as areas with high and low droplet distribution, can be easily and reproducibly obtained by analyzing the axial and/or longitudinal cross-section of the spray using the apparatus and method of the present invention.
