20130261548 | MEDICAL BALLOON WITH PARTICLES THEREIN - A balloon catheter includes a balloon having a plurality of layers. The inner layer acts as a support layer to the outer layer. Embedded within the outer layer is a plurality of particles or pellets which in one embodiment provide roughening of the outer surface of the balloon. The particles or pellets, particularly in conjunction with an inner support layer, ensure maintenance of the roughened outer surface of the balloon during inflation of the balloon. In another embodiment, the particles or pellets may be radiopaque and/or echogenic with or without creating surface roughening of the balloon. | 10-03-2013 |
20130261549 | MEDICAL BALLOON WITH TEXTURED OR ROUGHENED OUTER LAYER - A medical balloon of a balloon catheter has at least first and second layers in which the second, outer, layer is made of a material having a lower melting or softening temperature than the inner layer. The outer layer is provided with texturing or roughening on its outer surface, thereby to provide a textured roughened medical balloon. The inner layer supports the outer layer and in particular the texture or roughening of the outer surface of the outer layer. This support prevents or substantially reduces any flattening of any texture or roughening on the outside surface of the balloon when inflated. | 10-03-2013 |

20150336785 | BEVERAGE DISPENSER AND VARIABLE PRESSURE REGULATOR CAP ASSEMBLY - A beverage dispenser with a variable pressure regulator cap assembly that includes a high pressure cavity defined by a cap body. The high pressure cavity receives pressurized gas from a compressed gas reservoir. A low pressure cavity is connected to the high pressure cavity via a high pressure gas passageway. The low pressure cavity defines a low pressure gas passageway that penetrates the cap body. A piston seat is positioned on a high pressure cavity side of the high pressure gas passageway. A piston regulates introduction of the pressurized gas into the high pressure gas passageway. A diaphragm is positioned between an ambient pressure cavity and the low pressure cavity and translates the piston relative to the piston seat. A main spring is positioned between a diaphragm and a spring hat. Rotation of the drive screw translates the spring hat to affect compression of the main spring against the diaphragm. | 11-26-2015 |

20130255549 | SOLID FUEL BURNER WITH ELECTRODYNAMIC HOMOGENIZATION - A solid fuel burner may include a system for electrodynamic homogenization. One or more electrodes may apply an electric field to burning solid fuel or a region proximate the burning solid fuel.
