Abstract: Anti-microbial coatings and method of forming same on medical devices are provided. The coatings are formed by depositing a biocompatible metal by vapour deposition techniques to produce atomic disorder in the coating such that a sustained release of metal ions sufficient to produce an anti-microbial effect is achieved. Preferred deposition conditions to achieve atomic disorder include a lower than normal substrate temperature, and one or more of a higher than normal working gas pressure and a lower than normal angle of incidence of coating flux. Anti-microbial powders formed by mechanical working to produce atomic disorder are also provided. The invention extends to other metal coatings and powders similarly formed so as to provide enhanced solubility.

Abstract: An improved dielectric layer of an electroluminescent laminate, and method of preparation are provided. The dielectric layer is formed as a thick layer from a ceramic material to provide: a dielectric strength greater than about 1.0 x 106 V/m; a dielectric constant such that the ratio of the dielectric constant of the dielectric material to that of the phosphor layer is greater than about 50:1; a thickness such that the ratio of the thickness of the dielectric layer to that of the phosphor layer is in the range of about 20:1 to 500:1; and a surface adjacent the phosphor layer which is compatible with the phosphor layer and sufficiently smooth that the phosphor layer illuminates generally uniformly at a given excitation voltage. The invention also provides for electrical connection of an electroluminescent laminate to voltage driving circuitry with through hole technology. The invention also extends to laser scribing the transparent conductor lines of an electroluminescent laminate.

Abstract: A thin film diagnostic device capable of detecting the presence of a specific organic material in a sample solution. The device comprises a layer of an anodizable colour-generating metal (12) (e.g. tantalum), a porous anodic film (14) containing aluminum oxide overlying the colour generating metal (12), and a reagent capable of binding with the specific organic material forming a coating (17) on the anodic film. The porous anodic film (14) and the coating (17) have a combined thickness such that a colour change is produced when the specific organic material binds to the reagent to form a second coating (22). The device can be used to test for biological or synthetic products in samples taken from patients or other sources.
