Patent CA-2861241-A1 (CA)
Inventor: AMAN MICHAEL
IPC: A61M29/00
Filed: 2012-11-26
Abstract: The disclosure relates to systems, methods and devices for vascular access, and in particular, to a dilator-sheath combination for vascular access. The dilator-sheath combination can be used to avoid trauma to a patient that can be caused by damage to the sheath resulting from the force of insertion, for instance at the point of transition. The dilator-sheath combination comprises a dilator with a tip comprising a bump, where the bump is configured to reduce or minimize damage to the sheath, and a sheath, where the thickness of the sheath distal end is less than the thickness of the sheath body. This configuration of the dilator-sheath combination can reduce or minimize damage to the sheath, which in turn can prevent trauma to a patient during insertion or removal thereof.

Patent CA-2863879-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NGUYEN VIET-HUNG
IPC: H04W74/02
Filed: 2012-04-19
Abstract: A hybrid access protocol (HAP) controls access of nodes of a network to a communication medium, such as a radio frequency communication channel. In one example, a one-hop neighbor of a root node receives priority information from the root node, which includes a list of communication time slots, and an indication of one or more of the communication time slots during which the one -hop neighbor has communication priority relative to other one -hop neighbors of the root node. If the one-hop neighbor has information to transmit to the root node, it waits a predetermined period of time before transmitting the information to the root node. While waiting, the one-hop neighbor listens for transmissions by other nodes. In response to expiration of the predetermined period of time without overhearing transmissions by other nodes, the one-hop neighbor transmits its data to the root node.
