20150112434 | ABSORBABLE IMPLANTS FOR PLASTIC SURGERY - Absorbable implants for breast surgery that conform to the breast parenchyma and surrounding chest wall have been developed. These implants support newly lifted breast parenchyma, and/or a breast implant. The implants have mechanical properties sufficient to support a reconstructed breast, and allow the in-growth of tissue into the implant as it degrades. The implants have a strength retention profile allowing the support of the breast to be transitioned from the implant to regenerated host tissue, without significant loss of support. Three-dimensional implants for use in minimally invasive mastopexy/breast reconstruction procedures are also described, that confer shape to a patient's breast. These implants are self-reinforced, can be temporarily deformed, implanted in a suitably dissected tissue plane, and resume their preformed three-dimensional shape. The implants are preferably made from poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB) and copolymers thereof. The implants have suture pullout strengths that can resist the mechanical loads exerted on the reconstructed breast. | 04-23-2015 |

20110232284 | INTEGRATED PROCESS AND RELATED SYSTEM FOR OBTAINING ENERGY FROM WASTE WITH LOW INVESTMENTS AND HIGH THERMOELECTRIC YIELDS - A process is described for obtaining energy from waste, comprising the following phases: a) bio-drying of municipal solid waste (MSW) to transform it into refuse-derived fuel (RDF), a dry, homogeneous material with piece size of around 20-30 cm, known by the name of RDF; h) compacting of the material obtained from phase a) into bales or BIOCUBr and storage of the BIOCUBI® in bioreactors; c) activation by wetting with water of the bioreactors to produce biogas by anaerobic digestion; d) combustion at the start of the material obtained from phase a) (RDF) and subsequently of the residue already digested in the bioreactors, and therefore not biodegradable, in a waste combustor provided with a system of purification of combustion gasses and production of superheated steam at approximately 400° C. and pressure of around 70 bar; e) combustion of the purified biogas in a conventional boiler provided with re-superheaters for raising the temperature of the steam produced by the waste combustor by approximately 100° C.; f) use of the steam produced in this way in a turbine coupled with an alternator for the production of electrical energy. The invention also relates to a system for the implementation of this method. | 09-29-2011 |

20090001176 | Method And Device For Forming A Chip-Containing Label - A method for forming a label and a label formed thereby comprising a chip affixed to a sheet, the chip being provided on a support, where the label is formed by applying the support to a surface of the sheet and by printing first information which individualizes the label, characterized in that the support and the surface thus form a part of the label where the first printed information is readable. | 01-01-2009 |
