Thomas Hutchins
Thomas Hutchins 1730-89, American frontiersman, surveyor, and geographer, b. Monmouth co., N.J. He took part in the French and Indian War and gained a reputation for his engineering ability through planning Fort Pitt and other works. His journals of military expeditions in the Western country are valuable historical sources. A captain in the British army and in London at the opening of the American Revolution, Hutchins refused to bear arms against the Revolutionaries and was imprisoned and charged with high treason. Released in 1780, he escaped to France and ultimately to Charleston, S.C., where he joined the Revolutionary forces. In July, 1781, he became geographer to the United States. In 1785 he took charge of the survey of the Northwest Territory.

New horizons for biomedical polymers: surface chemistry determines biological interactions at the interface of a medical device. Novel technology is described here that allows engineers to build into the polymer the type of surface that is required for a particular device application. How the technology operates and its possibilities for use in disposables, implantables and prostheses are examined.(materials)
