US 3963406 A Abstract A spinneret assembly for spinning two melts to form three mixed filament yarns per assembly includes a distribution plate which provides a particular metering function to maintain substantially equal deniers for all three yarns and one conveying channel per melt for maintaining substantially equal deniers for all filaments of the same melt within a given yarn.
Claims(2) 1. A spinneret assembly comprising sandwiched filter block, distribution plate, meter plate and spinneret plate elements, said filter block, said meter plate and said spinneret plate elements having spaced axially aligned flow passages, said distribution plate being provided with a pair of collection chambers in its upper surface and two concentric annular channels in its lower surface, each one of said pair being in communication with a different one of said concentric annular channels, said chambers and said channels defining separate flow paths between the filter block and the meter and spinneret plate passages; said collection chambers having a resistance to melt flow characterized by a flow resistance ratio R of at least 0.33 wherein R = ΔP2 /ΔP1 and ΔP1 is the pressure drop through a set of flow passages in a meter plate and spinneret plate and ΔP2 is the maximum pressure drop measurable along either collection chamber.
2. The apparatus as defined in claim 1, said flow resistance ratio R being from about 0.5 to about 1.5.
Description This invention relates generally to the production of mixed yarns from two or more distinct varieties of continuous synthetic filaments from molten organic compositions and, more particularly, to a spinneret assembly useful in the spinning process. Yarns containing two or more distinct varieties of continuous synthetic filaments are used increasingly in the textile industry. The filament varieties may differ in any or all of composition, shrinkage, dyeability, color, electrical conductivity and the like. Intermediate yarns separately spun from the individual compositions are often plied, with or without a filament-intermingling treatment, to create any desired mixed-filament yarn. More recently, mixed filament yarns have been prepared directly during spinning by passing two (or more) polymer melts individually through the same spinning pack to issue simultaneously through spinning capillaries in a single spinneret plate as taught by Reese in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,593,513 and 3,681,910. The extruded filaments may be wound up with or without additional mechanical drawing and with or without a filament-intermingling treatment. The design of a spinning pack for extruding two (or more) polymer melts depends on the number of mixed-filament yarns to be produced. The extrusion of a single multifilament mixed-filament yarn is relatively free of complications. Frequently, it is desirable, however, to extrude more than one yarn from the same spinning pack, that is, to provide more than one grouping of spinning orifices in the spinneret plate. It is apparent that proper distribution of two melts to selected spinning orifices in multiple groupings creates design difficulties. Heretofore, in order to maintain symmetry of flow lines involved, it has been the practice to use an even number of groupings, i.e., usually two. The fiber producer ordinarily must modify existing equipment for producing mixed-filament yarns. When a given melt-flow capacity is available, it may result that greatest productivity is obtained only with an odd number (usually three) of groupings of spinning orifices. However, the use of an odd number of orifice groupings has been less than satisfactory because of unacceptable filament-to-filament denier nonuniformities created within each extruded yarn as well as excessive yarn to yarn denier differences. The present invention provides a spinneret assembly for the simultaneous melt extrusion of two polymer compositions to form directly an odd number (e.g., three) of multifilament yarns. It further provides a spinneret assembly which alleviates the problems associated with the denier nonuniformities noted above by providing additional metering within the spinneret assembly. The spinneret assembly of this invention comprises, a distribution plate, a meter plate, and a spinneret plate attached to a filter block as a sandwiched assembly which is mounted for use in known fashion. For each polymer composition, the filter block has a filter cavity communicating via downholes with its exit face. A collection chamber for each polymer composition is formed between the bottom of the filter block and the top of the distribution plate. Concentric annular conveying channels are provided between the bottom of the distribution plate and the top of the meter plate, and a pair of diametrically opposed conduits through the distribution plate connect each conveying channel with one of the collection chambers. The meter plate has a plurality of passages therethrough, each axially aligned with one passage through the spinneret plate, each in communication with only one annular conveying channel, and each sized to have at least twice as much resistance to flow as does the respective passage through the spinneret plate. The meter plate and spinneret plate have an odd number, preferably three, groupings of yarn-forming passages. Improvements in such a spinneret assembly which provide the improved denier uniformity are: 1. use of only one annular conveying channel per polymer composition, and 2. collection chambers of sufficiently reduced depth to provide a high resistance to melt flow characterized by a Flow Resistance Ratio (R) of at least 0.33 and preferably in the range of 0.5 to 1.5. wherein R = ΔP2 /ΔP1 and ΔP1 is the pressure drop through a set of passages in a meter plate and a spinneret plate and ΔP2 is the maximum pressure drop measurable along either collection chamber. It is preferred that each annular conveying channel have the minimum volume consistent with a flow resistance which is negligible in comparison to that in the associated collection chamber. FIG. 1 is a schematic cross sectional view of a spinneret assembly showing related polymer flow passages as applicable to the present invention. FIG. 2 is a top plan view of the distribution plate of the present invention as it would appear along 2--2 of FIG. 1. FIG. 3 is a bottom view of the distribution plate of the present invention as it would appear along 3--3 of FIG. 1. FIG. 4 is a bottom plan view of the meter plate of the assembly as it would appear along 4--4 of FIG. 1 with the outline of the channels of FIG. 3 superimposed. The embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1-4 includes as components a filter block 10, distribution plate 12, meter plate 14, and spinneret plate 16, all held together by bolt 17 and by a suitable mounting ring 18 which also fastens the assembly to a spinning machine (not shown). Two distinct polymer-melt compositions are supplied to the assembly. (The term "compositions" is used to indicate that the polymer melt may also include minor quantities of customary additives, such as antioxidants, pigments, delusterants, antistats, optical brighteners, etc.). Filter block 10 has two filter cavities 20, 21 each containing a filtering medium (e.g., sand) and each receiving under pressure a different polymer-melt composition. Filtered melt is discharged from cavities 20, 21 through passages 22, 23 to collection chambers 24, 25, respectively, in the top face of distribution plate 12 (alternatively in the bottom face of filter plate 10). In its bottom face (alternatively in the top face of meter plate 14), distribution plate 12 has conveying channels 26, 27 which are complete annuli. Melt flows from collection chamber 24 to conveying channels 26 via conduits 28, and from collection chamber 25 to conveying channel 27 via conduits 30. Conveying channels 26, 27 conduct the two melts separately to communication with entrances to metering passages 38 through meter plate 14. Spinneret plate 16 has a plurality of spinning capillaries 32 terminating in its exit face 36 (only one shown in FIG. 1). Normally, each passage through plate 16 comprises a counterbore 34 which tapers to a smaller capillary 32. Each counterbore 34 receives melt via only one of conveying channels 26, 27. As an aid to improving filament-to-filament denier uniformity, it is known to interpose a meter plate 14 between distribution plate 12 and spinneret plate 16. A meter plate is especially advantageous when capillaries 32 are of complicated shape for producing nonround filaments because of the difficulty in producing such capillaries all with identical resistances to melt flow. For each passage 32, 34 through spinneret plate 16 there is one axially aligned passage 38 through meter plate 14. The resistance to melt flow of passage 38 should be at least twice, preferably several times, as great as the resistance of passage through the spinneret plate. In this way, flow rate through all like capillaries 32 is maintained substantially constant in spite of their unavoidable structural differences. Cobb U.S. Pat. No. 3,095,607 further explains the function and advantages of meter plate 16. FIGS. 2-4 show a top plan view (FIG. 2) and a bottom plan view (FIG. 3) of a distribution plate 12 designed for distribution of two polymer melts to each of three arrays of spinning capillaries, each array providing one mixed-filament threadline with 18 filaments of each polymer composition. FIG. 4 is the bottom plan view of corresponding meter plate 14 outlining groups of passages 38 forming threadlines 1, 2 and 3. The passages 38 are supplied with polymer melt by the conveying channels 26, 27 of FIG. 3. It is to be noted that conveying channel 26 is provided for one melt and conveying channel 27 is provided for the other melt. A preferred high resistance to melt-flow of shallow collection chambers 24, 25 provides an additional metering function in the spinneret assembly with respect to conveying channels 26, 27, respectively, which is entirely analagous to the metering function of meter plate 14 with respect to passages 32, 34 through spinneret plate 16. It is believed that, when the collection chambers 24, 25 provides insufficient metering, regions of reduced melt flow are established in the conveying channels at positions between threadlines 1 and 2 and threadlines 3 and 2. This reduced flow results in longer exposure times at elevated temperature for melts forming threadlines 1 and 3 which, due to time-dependent molecular degradation at elevated temperatures, reduces the flow viscosities of streams forming threadlines 1 and 3. To this end, it is also desirable that each conveying channel have the minimum volume consistent with negligible pressure drop for melt flowing through it. The absolute depths of collection chambers 24, 25 which provide the necessary metering function cannot be defined precisely because it depends on the viscosity of each particular polymer melt composition being handled. It is defined, instead, as the ratio, R, of two pressure drops, both in the same units. The first (ΔP1) is the pressure drop measured from the upper face of meter plate 14 to the lower face of spinneret plate 16 along a given set of passages 38, 34, 32. The second (ΔP2) is the pressure drop measured between any point within a conduit 28 or 30 and the position in collection chamber 24 or 25 under the downhole 22 or 23 which is farthest removed simultaneously from diametrically opposite conduits 28 or 30. Pressure drop ΔP2 is then, the maximum pressure drop measurable along either collection chamber. The Flow Resistance Ratio (R) is, then, defined as R = ΔP2 /ΔP1. in order that collection chambers 24, 25 provide adequate metering, R should be at least 0.33 and preferably in the range of 0.5 to 1.5. Spinning pack assemblies as shown in FIGS. 1-4 are used to prepare yarns composed of 18 filaments each of PACM-12 homopolymer and PACM-12/PACM-I copolymer. The PACM abbreviation designates the polymer unit corresponding to 4,4'-bis(aminocyclohexyl)-methane; 12 designates the polymer unit corresponding to dodecanedioic acid, and I designates the polymer unit corresponding to isophthalic acid. The copolymer comprises 90% by weight PACM-12 units and 10% by weight PACM-I units, and the PACM employed has 70% by weight trans, trans isomer. The copolymer and homopolymer are brought to a temperature of 337�C. then pumped in separate streams to filter cavities 20, 21, respectively. The passages, chambers and channels define separate flow paths between the filter block 10 and the spinneret holes 32. The spinneret plate 16 is designed to spin three threadlines (designated 1, 2 and 3, FIG. 4) each having 36 filaments, each filament as drawn and packaged being slightly greater than 1.5 denier and having a trilobal cross section with a 1.9-2.0 modification ratio. Using the apparatus described with a flow resistance ratio R in the homopolymer portion of the assembly of 0.12 and a flow resistance ratio R in the copolymer portion of 0.09, both being below the preferable range, threadline 2 differs in denier from threadlines 1 and 3 by at least 1.55% with a ratio r of about 1.10 (the average denier per filament for the five largest denier filaments of either composition in a given threadline to the average denier per filament of the 13 lowest denier filaments of the same composition). When R (homopolymer) is increased to 0.94 and R (copolymer) to 0.73, the three threadlines differ in denier by less than 1% and r remains at about 1.10. Thus, the assembly of this invention provides improved uniformity for mixed-filament spinning of an odd number of threadlines. Patent Citations

Heriott Park Guest House is a conversion of 2 Edwardian Townhouses built in 1903 and features a splendid oak staircase and many other original features, including ornate plasterwork. We are located close enough to the city centre to make it a pleasant 20 - 30 minute walk, or a short journey on the excellent and frequent bus service, but far enough out to benefit from free and unrestricted parking outside the house. You might even want to extend your walk to the city centre with a stroll though the nearby Royal Botanic Garden or along the Water of Leith walkway. Whether on business or pleasure, you can relax and have a good night's sleep in one of our comfortable rooms and then set yourself up for the day ahead with a traditional cooked British Breakfast, a vegetarian option or lighter snack. We are ideally located for exploring the UNESCO World Heritage Site that is Edinburgh City Centre, the historic Port of Leith and beyond. There are many historic places to visit and a wealth of Art Galleries and Museums to enjoy even if the weather is not great. The open view across the playing fields from the front of the house features the impressive city skyline.
Rooms available for B&B are Single, Double, Twin, Family (2 adults + 1 child), Triple, Large Family (up to 5 people, max 4 adults). Room prices vary from £45 to £175 depending on room type and season.
Self catering apartments both have 1 x Twin room, 1 X Family room, Bathroom, Kitchen, Dining area Living room with sofa bed and are suitable for 4 -7 people.
See online booking facility for availability and prices.
Note: Prices are a guide only and may change on a daily basis.
From the north/Forth Bridge/M90, follow the main road towards Edinburgh City Centre. There are 3 sets of lights after the Barnton Junction, and at all of them you go straight on heading for City Centre and Leith.
At the next lights, there is a Y junction at the "Farmer Autocare" garage, and you should take the left fork heading towards Leith.
This takes you along Telford Road and about 1 mile futher on you come to the Crew Toll roundabout.
Again, take the sign for Leith which is the 3rd exit, and this is Ferry Road which bears slightly to the right compared to Telford Road.
You should see the Selex factory on your left and, after it, a Morrisons store. Ferry Road is long and you still have nearly 2 miles to go!
Keep going straight on at every junction.
The last set of lights you go through before you reach Heriott Park is at Goldenacre, and you should see the curved shopfront of the Marie Curie Shop to your right.
Shortly after this junction there are rugby pitches to your right and a wide strip of ground between the pitches and the road, where cars are parked end on to the road.
Opposite these pitches, on your left, there is a row of large terraced houses, many of which are Guest Houses.
Heriott Park is number 254 Ferry Road. The car parking opposite the house is both plentiful and free.
From the Airport, follow the signs for Leith when you approach the Gogar roundabout and follow the directions above when you reach the Barnton Junction.
From Glasgow, exit the M8 for "Edinburgh City Bypass North" and from the Gogar roundabout follow the directions above when you reach the Banton Junction.
Directions form other routes is available on our website http://www.heriottpark.co.uk/location.htm
The best bus to take is the 23 which leaves the City Centre from Hanover Street, which is off Princes Street opposite the Royal Academy Art Gallery. This is just 1 block away from Waverley Station.
During weekdays the 23 runs every 10 mins but at the weekend and evenings every 20 mins or 30 mins.
The bus stop in Hanover Street is outside The Pizza Hut restaurant and the bus fare is £1.50, but if you intend to use buses later the same day you should buy a bargain day ticket for £3.50 which allows unlimited travel on all Lothian Buses for the rest of the day. Beware - payment is by dropping money into a slot and no change is given.
If there is a group of you, then it will be easier to pay a total amount for the whole group to save you all looking for coins, e.g. £10.50 for 3 day tickets. The 23 route is Down Hanover Street, Dundas Street and Brandon Terrace. It then turns Left into Inverleith Row and heads to the T junction, when it turns right into Ferry Road. You should be starting to get ready to get off the bus after it turns into Ferry Road. There is 1 stop in Ferry Road just after the Royal Bank of Scotland and then you should get off the bus at the next stop which is immediately after the bus turns into Clark Road. Walk back onto Ferry Road and turn left. You will see the large houses on this side of Ferry Road, many of which are Guest Houses.
First there is Garfield, then Brig-o-doon, Ardleigh, then Heriott Park, 254 Ferry Road. This walk is only about 1 minute. If you have a lot of Luggage you should consider getting a taxi instead of the bus, and this will cost you about £8. Alternatively, you can walk the whole route in about 30 mins.
This information is self-assessed; therefore we accept no liability for its accuracy. Please contact the venue for further information.

Description [0001] This application claims the benefit of Provisional Application No. 60/440,019, filed Jan. 15, 2003, the entire contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference in this application. [0002] Venous valves are typically bicuspid valves that are forced together to prevent retrograde flow of blood while permitting forward flow to the heart. The forward flow occurs when the hydrostatic pressure below the valve exceeds the closing pressure of the valve. This happens, for example, when the calf muscle constricts on the venous system (calf muscle pump) or the forward hydrostatic pressure of the pooling venous blood exceeds the weight of blood above the valve, forcing it to open. When an incompetent valve attempts to close in response to a pressure gradient across the valve, however, the valve leaflets do not seal properly such that retrograde flow of blood will occur. When the valve is incompetent and leaks, venous stasis disease develops. [0003] Venous vascular insufficiency results in disabling leg swelling and ulceration in about 1,000,000 Americans annually. The treatment of choice is leg elevation to facilitate blood flow to the heart and high pressure hosiery to provide the required hydrostatic pressure below the incompetent valve(s). Unfortunately, patient compliance for these treatments is poor, resulting in chronic severe disability for those affected. [0004] Other alternatives, such as venous valve surgery, have thus far not proved to be consistently successful over the long term. For example, external vein valve collars of fixed constrictive diameters have been developed to proximate leaky vein valve leaflets. They have not been adopted, however, due to variable outcomes. More specifically, a fixed collar was developed as a rigid snap on device that constricts the vein so that the leaky valve leaflets overlap. Unfortunately, vein symbiosis, scarification, and progressive valvular deterioration have limited their long term benefit. [0005] A need therefore remains for a device to overcome the deficiencies of conventional fixed constrictive devices. The invention provides such a device by providing an implantable compliant collar that advantageously responds to positional changes of the patient in a manner corresponding to normal venous hemodynamics. [0006] More specifically, an inflatable collar is provided that, according to the invention, is comprised of a rigid housing or frame for being applied to the target vein such as by snapping the collar around the vein. The collar of the invention may be applied to, e.g., the femoral vein and/or popliteal vein. Inside the shell of the collar, a flexible membrane assembly is provided for selectively constricting the vein segment within the shell. The inner membrane assembly defines alone or with the rigid outer shell at least one and preferably two or more compartments. At least one of the compartments is in flow communication with a reservoir. The reservoir is configured and disposed so that when the patient is standing erect, media flows from the reservoir into the at least one compartment to fill the same and gently close the vein disposed within the rigid shell segment, thereby preventing reflux toward the foot. The flexible membrane can still act as a one way vein valve because the vein is still able to empty in a forward flow fashion toward the heart when the pressure in the venous circulation below the collar exceeds the pressure of the media behind the flexible membrane. The reservoir is further configured and disposed so that when the patient is supine, the media flows from the at least one compartment to at least partially return to the reservoir, so as to release the force gently closing the vein, such that blood can more freely flow along its return path to the heart. [0007] Thus, the invention may be embodied in a venous anti-reflux device comprising a fluid reservoir and a collar assembly, said collar assembly including a flexible membrane defining at least one compartment in flow communication with said fluid reservoir and a shell for supporting said at least one compartment in surrounding relation to a target vein segment, said media reservoir providing a pressure head of media for filling and distending said flexible membrane when said reservoir is disposed vertically above said collar assembly, thereby to constrict a flow passage through the target vein segment. [0008] The invention may also be embodied in a method for selectively constricting a vein segment for preventing retrograde venous flow comprising providing an implantable device including: a columnar fluid reservoir and a collar assembly, said collar assembly including a flexible membrane defining at least one compartment in flow communication with said fluid reservoir and a shell containing the flexible bladder; and mounting the collar assembly in surrounding relation to a target vein segment so that the columnar reservoir is disposed in parallel to and along a portion of the vein segment downstream, relative to antigrade flow, from the collar assembly whereby when the vein segment is disposed in a generally vertical orientation, said fluid reservoir defines a pressure head of media for filling and distending said flexible bladder, thereby to constrict the target vein segment. [0009] These and other objects and advantages of this invention, will be more completely understood and appreciated by careful study of the following more detailed description of the presently preferred exemplary embodiments of the invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, in which: [0010]FIG. 1 is a schematic perspective view illustrating a cuff according to the invention in an unsecured position ready for application to a target vein segment; [0011]FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an extra-vascular implant embodying the invention disposed in surrounding relation to a target vein segment; [0012]FIG. 3 is a schematic top plan view of the extra-vascular implant of FIG. 2 and with the vein shown in collapsed form within the cuff; [0013]FIG. 4A is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 3 before the flexible membrane has been filled and omitting the vein for clarity; [0014]FIG. 4B is a schematic cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV of FIG. 3 showing the filled membrane according to a first embodiment of the invention; and [0015]FIG. 4C is a cross-sectional view taken along line IV-IV in FIG. 3 showing the filled membrane according to a second embodiment of the invention and omitting the vein for clarity. [0016] An example of an inflatable collar or cuff device 10 embodying the invention is illustrated in the accompanying FIGURES. In the illustrated example, the device is comprised of a reservoir portion 12 and a collar or cuff portion 14 in fluid flow communication with the reservoir. The collar portion 14 includes a rigid housing or shell 16 which is provided to enable the collar to be fixedly secured in surrounding relation to a target segment 18 of the patient's vein. As illustrated in FIG. 1, in an exemplary embodiment of the invention the shell 16 is formed in two parts 20,22 that are hinged together so that they can be pivoted from an open configuration as shown in FIG. 1 to a closed configuration as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3 to surround the target vein segment 18. As also illustrated in FIG. 2, typically an artery 28 will be disposed in parallel side by side relation to the target vein segment 18. Accordingly, in the illustrated embodiment, one of the shell halves is recessed as at 30 to accommodate the artery. [0017] In the illustrated embodiment, the shell parts are hinged at an integral, living hinge 24. When the shell parts are pivoted to the closed configuration of FIGS. 2-3, they are secured together. In an exemplary embodiment, one or more sutures is looped around the shell to hold the shell in its closed disposition. If deemed necessary or desirable, circumferential grooves 26 as schematically shown in FIGS. 4A-4C may be defined about the outer circumference of the shell 16 for receiving and properly positioning the suture material. In the alternative, a protrusion such as a knob or hook may be provided so that the shell halves 20,22 snap and secure together or to receive e.g., suture material. In an exemplary embodiment, the cuff has a height of about 1 cm and an interior diameter of the shell is between about 1.5 and 2 cm to encompass a variety of vein diameters. [0018] Mounted within the housing or shell 16 is an inflatable membrane or bladder assembly for selectively receiving media from the reservoir 12, as described in greater detail hereinbelow. In an exemplary embodiment, as best illustrated in FIGS. 4A-4C, the shell halves 20,22 are generally C-shaped in vertical section to define an inflatable membrane receiving pocket. The inflatable membrane or bladder assembly is preferably comprised of at least two compartments respectively defined by the membrane that are closed but for their communication with each other and with the reservoir 12. In the embodiment illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3, the inflatable membrane assembly is provided as two inflatable membrane compartments 44,46, communication between the membrane compartments is provided adjacent the hinge 24 and media flows into the inflatable membrane assembly via conduit 32 and port 34 as illustrated e.g., in FIGS. 1 and 4. [0019] As noted above, the membrane assembly may be comprised of inflatable membranes or bladders. In the illustrated embodiment, the fillable compartments of the membrane assembly are defined by membranes suitably secured to the shell halves, so that the fillable compartments are defined between the flexible membranes and the respective wall of the respective shell half. Thus, FIG. 4A schematically illustrates the closed shell with the membrane(s) 40,42 in an uninflated or not fully inflated configuration so that blood is free to flow through the vein segment 18. The membrane is preformed or distendable so that it will transition from the unfilled configuration of FIG. 4A to the fully inflated configuration of FIGS. 3, 4B and/or 4C when media flows from the reservoir to the compartments 44,46;44′,46′. As an alternative to securing a membrane as in the illustrated embodiment, the fillable compartment(s) can be defined by separately formed bladders secured within the shell halves and in flow communication with port 34. [0020] The fillable compartment(s) define a vein receiving opening 36 when the shell 16 is secured closed. However, in the presently preferred embodiment, once the fillable compartments are fully filled and distended, a gap G is still defined between opposing sides of the filled compartments 44,46;44′,46′, as illustrated in FIGS. 3, 4B, and 4C. This gap prevents the membranes 40,42;40′,42′ from compressing the walls of the vein 18 on each other. For example, the opposing membrane walls in a collar with two compartments filled with fluid should preferably not get closer than, e.g., the thickness of two vein walls (2 mm). Since the walls of the filled compartments do not get closer than a 2 mm gap as illustrated, the compartments are preferably inflatable but not expandable so that the compartments define a prescribed shape when fully inflated. In one example, as illustrated in FIG. 4B, the protruding compartments are generally parabolic in vertical section. In an alternate embodiment, as illustrated in FIG. 4C, the closest point between the inflated compartments 44′,46′ is at one vertical end of the shell 16′, e.g., the vertically upper end. While two tillable compartments are provided in the illustrated embodiment, it is to be understood that additional tillable compartments may be provided as deemed necessary or desirable to define the proper inflated bladder profile for occluding the blood vessel when the patient is standing erect. [0021] As noted above, the membrane or bladder compartments are selectively filled with a media that flows thereto from a reservoir 12. The media reservoir has a longitudinal axis that extends substantially perpendicular to a horizontal plane of the collar portion so that it will be disposed vertically above the collar assembly when the patient is standing erect. In an exemplary embodiment, the fluid reservoir is defined as a fluid column disposed generally in parallel to the target vein so as to be exposed to the same gravitational and positional influences as the patient's venous system. The fluid reservoir may be formed from a flexible membrane or, more preferably, as a rigid or semi-rigid structure, as deemed necessary or desirable to provide for a reliable flow connection to the inflatable bladder and to resist compressive external forces which may preclude re-filing of the reservoir when the patient is supine. As presently proposed, the fluid reservoir would be implanted in continuity with the collar 12 in the subcontaneous space. The size of the column is defined by, e.g., the density of the fluid within it and by the weight of the venous blood between the last competent valve and the collar implant site. The latter may be calculated invasively from duplex scan data. Also, implantation of two or more devices in series would shorten the length of each column. This is because the reservoir size dictates how much retrograde flow pressure can be resistant by the device and multiple devices will reduce the amount of retrograde flow each device is designed to resist. [0022] The media contained within the reservoir may be either a fluid, a solid or a combination thereof. In a presently preferred embodiment, the media provided in the reservoir is a biocompatible fluid. An exemplary fluid is saline which would be provided to mimic a column of blood. In such embodiment, a relatively large/long fluid reservoir would be required to mimic the pressure of a corresponding column of blood. In general, suitable fluids will have a low viscosity and high density to provide appropriate flowability and pressure as the patient's position changes. It will be appreciated that a relatively limited flow of fluid from the reservoir to the inflatable membrane in conjunction with the pressure head created by the column of fluid will be sufficient to advantageously allow the venous segment to resist retrograde flow while allowing the desired anti-flux flow. [0023] As noted above, the media contained in the reservoir may be a solid, such as flowable particulate matter. As a further alternative, a solid and a fluid can be paired, the fluid providing the flowability for compartment filling and displacement of the membranes, and the solid providing the appropriate force (pressure) to displace the fluid. In such a configuration, the weight (solid) would act as a force generator and the fluid as the vein closure actuator. [0024] The reservoir 12 itself is preferably provided as an externally supported graft disposed in the subcutaneous tissue and fluidly coupled to the cuff, as mentioned above. By way of example, the reservoir may be formed from PTFE so that the flow of media from the reservoir to the compartments of the collar is due to the patient's position rather than external compressive forces on the reservoir. The media connection from the reservoir to the cuff may be a 5 mm diameter conduit 32 that is e.g., friction fit to a port 34 defined in the wall of the collar shell half 20. A suture may be secured around the friction fit components to enhance the security of the connection. [0025] As is apparent, the proposed constricting collar of the invention does not sit over the existing incompetent vein valve, can accommodate changes in pressure and volume, and does not have to be configured to precisely fit the vein segment since the only absolute dimension is the distance between opposing sides of the deformable membranes within the rigid shell. This dimension prevents the membrane from compressing and crushing the walls of the vein on each other. [0026] The inflatable cuff of the invention advantageously mimics the venous circulation by defining a parallel circuit that responds to gravity just as the venous circulation does but prevents deleterious reverse flow which causes venous hypertension and skin ulceration at the ankles. The device is provided wholly outside the blood stream so that the endothelial layer within the vein is not disrupted. The device of the invention is also easy to implant, requiring little time to implant and requiring only the skill of a general surgeon. In this regard, it is noted that long graft tunnels are routinely created for routing arterial grafts. The same equipment may be used for tunneling to accommodate the columnar reservoir of the invention. [0027] While the invention has been described in connection with what is presently considered to be the most practical and preferred embodiment, it is to be understood that the invention is not to be limited to the disclosed embodiment, but on the contrary, is intended to cover various modifications and equivalent arrangements included within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

Project 955 Borei nuclear-powered ballistic missile submarine (SSBN) 'Yury Dolgoruky' commissioned into Russian Navy. Project 955 Borei fourth-generation submarines were developed by the Rubin Central Design Bureau (St. Petersburg). New technologies of shipboard radioelectronics and noise reduction were applied during their construction. Basic weapon of the Borei-class submarines is the ballistic missile system Bulava. Each sub may carry 16 solid-propellant ballistic missiles R-30 Bulava with a flight range of over 10,000 km equipped with independently targetable reentry vehicles. Warhead of each Bulava missile consists of six reentry vehicles. Submarines are equipped with a surfacing rescue chamber capable to accommodate all crewmembers. SSBN Yury Dolgoruky was laid down in 1996 at Sevmash shipyard. Two batch subs, Alexander Nevsky and Vladimir Monomakh were laid down there in 2004 and 2006 respectively. The first of them is undergoing shipyard's trials, while the latter is under construction. In May 2012, defense ministry and United Shipbuilding Corporation signed three contracts for modernized Project 955A submarines; each of those 5 submarines will be capable of carrying 20 Bulava ballistic missiles.

WATCH: Alan Rickman Stars and Talk-Sings in Music Video
It's always fun when one of your favorite actors pops up in an unexpected place, you know, like a music video. …
Read NowCafe Hon is a comfort food home-style restaurant in Baltimore, Maryland. Cafe Hon is owned by Denise who considers herself a 'Hon.' 'Hon' was cultural word used for local women dressed in bright, printed dresses with outdated glasses and beehive hairdos. Denise, a well-known member of the community, opened Cafe Hon 20 years ago and was very successful. Denise decided that to protect her business she would trademark not only her restaurant, but also the word 'Hon.'
When the city of Baltimore found out a year ago she trademarked the word there was uprising and protesting because she was said to have taken away a word that belongs to the city. Many boycotted Cafe Hon and, since then, the business has fallen off. Still, Denise is struggling to understand the significance of the trademarking which can cause the restaurant to continue to suffer. Denise needs to do something to gain back the trust of a community otherwise the 20-year cultural establishment could be closed down forever.

Vitamin D good for pregnancy
David Liu, PHD
Sunday Oct 05, 2012 (foodconsumer.org) -- Christesen HT at Odense University Hospital in Odense, Denmark and colleagues conducted a review of previous studies and found evidence to suggest taking vitamin D supplements provides pregnant women with a range of benefits.
According to the researchers, clinical trials found taking high doses of vitamin D helped prevent vitamin D deficiency, increased weight gain and reduced classical vitamin D deficiency symptoms.
Also observational studies suggest that lower vitamin D intake or low serum 25(OH)D levels were associated with adverse fertility parameters, preeclampsia, gestational diabetes or higher blood glucose, bacterial vaginosis, primary cesarean section, none or a few day' shorter gestation, and post partum depression.
The review was published in Acta Obstet Gynecol Scand.
Dr. John Cannell, Director of Vitamin D Council says that prenatal vitamin D can also benefit the fetus. Vitamin D deficiency in pregnancy has been associated with retarded growth of the brain and high risk of autism in children.

Her life was a chain of places where they knew her, it seemed, forever.
There was Wall Street, where, after a day at Keefe, Bruyette & Woods, where she was a trading assistant on the 89th floor of 2 World Trade Center, Cira Marie Patti knew the best Italian restaurant to go to and talk theater.
There was New Springville, in Staten Island, where she lived, not far from where she had been a choir girl at Holy Child Church and the baton twirler for the Marching 100 (she didn't much like marching, so her father always put her on the float.)
And there was the Shore, always the Shore.
Summer weekends it was off to the big rental house at Bradley Beach, N.J., with Maura, Kathy, Pete and maybe a dozen others (her father, Michael Patti, lost count). Anchoring her evenings was the Columns, a Victorian place on Ocean Avenue in Avon-by-the-Sea, whose white Russians met her standards, and where she could dance or hold her own debating the merits of Giants or Yankees or Eric Clapton, all of whom she made part of her chain.
Holidays, it was in her parents' kitchen, where, for nephew and nieces, sister and brothers, Aunt C.C. soared. Her pasta sauce was not just about garlic and tomatoes. Of course not. "This was Italian sauce," her father recalled. "The spices, the sausage, pork, beef, meatballs. That was our Christmas Day."

Following on from the continued success of the product, Marine Armor System (MAS) announced its global launch and updated website. MAS is a nonlethal vessel protection system based on ballistic blinds, protecting the vessel or rig against pirate attacks and other potential threats such as armed robbery, terrorism and acts of sabotage. The system includes anti pirate blockades, bunkers and armored citadels or safe rooms onboard, protecting crew with a bulletproof barrier in case of pirate boarding, in line with IMO recommendations. MAS is part of the Collbaix group, which has over 40 years' experience in the production, distribution and installation of high security blinds (architectural shielding). Using this experience in providing secure access solutions to both commercial and residential properties, MAS was formed as a solution against naval piracy. Edurne del Río of Marine Amour System says "Following on from its significant success in Spain we are very proud to be launching MAS globally as a passive solution against the threat of piracy; providing protection to the lives of crew and the assets onboard ship. In the event of a pirate attack response times onboard must be rapid. This is why we have developed a new automatic system which is designed to protect the whole vessel within ten seconds; at the push of a button." MAS is manufactured using kriptonia, a patented material stronger than steel, bullet proof and certified with an FB6 ballistic level (to stop military weapons), designed to protect the most vulnerable areas in any vessel or platform. MAS manufacture, supply and install security hardening systems worldwide onshore or offshore. The system is hidden when not in use, requiring no storage space onboard. marinearmorsystem.com
