Patent CA-2117389-A1 (CA)
Title: Cup holder
Inventor: SCHUTTER PAUL CURTIS
IPC: B60N3/10
Filed: 1994-07-07
Abstract: The invention is directed to a cupholder comprising a drawer slidably mounted within a housing for movement between a stored position and a use position. The drawer has a semicircular recess in combination with an arm to form a cup retaining area. The arm is biased away from the drawer. In the stored position, the drawer is retained within the housing and the arm abuts the interior of the housing. In the use position, the arm is biased away from the drawer to its outermost position to form the largest size cup retaining area. The arm can be pivoted inward toward the drawer and locked in discrete positions by a ratchet to form cup retaining areas of decreasing size to accommodate different size containers. Once the arm is pivoted beyond the smallest size cup retaining area, the arm is automatically biased outwardly to its outermost position.

Abstract: A diagnostic and therapeutic apparatus for re-educating the posture of the backbone includes in combination means for controlling the orthostatic posture of the patient, means for carrying out a differential traction on the same patient at different levels in order to cancel out all or a part of his weight, means for correcting the postural defects in the three planes of the space and for blocking the patient within postural limits in order to prevent him from assuming postures other than that therapeutic even during the deambulation. In particular, the orthostatic posture is controlled by measuring the weight resting on each foot of the patient through footboards (19A, 19B) sensitive to changes in pressure placed under a travelling band (18), and the traction means are lacings or traction slings (24) slidable around pulleys (22) carried by a rigid framework and put under tension manually by the operator or automatically by a microprocessor receiving data measured from the footboard (19A, 19B) sensitive to changes in pressure.

Title: Structured image (si) format for describing complex color raster images
Inventor: VENABLE DENNIS L
IPC: G06T11/60
Filed: 1994-09-02
Abstract: A means and method of describing a complex color raster image as a collection of objects in a hierarchical and device independent format.      The purpose of structured imaging (SI) is to expand the scope of a raster image to a collection of individually manipulable component objects. An SI is a hierarchical description of a single output image raster which may be used as one component of a page in a structured document. Objects contributing to the output raster may originate from text, graphics, other rasters or a combination thereof, and all maintain their heritage for selectability and modification. The SI describes not only the source data but also the image processing operations required for rendering the output raster. SI technology supports re-editability, customization and enhancement, automatic image assembly and high performance imaging.  Thus, such a model has implications not only in an image editing and processing arena, but also in the filing and printing services used for image handling.

Patent CA-2170967-A1 (CA)
Title: Sample processing method for whole blood
Inventor: DEY MARGARET SIGLER
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1996-03-04
Abstract: Methods for processing whole blood for nucleic acid analysis of microorganisms which may be present are provided. The methods eliminate inhibitors which interfere in particular with enzymatic nucleic acid reactions and are also compatible with conventional culturing techniques.  It has been found that selective lysis of red blood cells with certain lysis buffers, followed by centrifugation at 5,000-15,000 xg for 5-30 min. and washing with water, saline, physiological buffers, or buffers compatible with nucleic acid analysis removes inhibitors of nucleic acid reactions which are present in whole blood or are introduced by reagents used in the sample processing protocol. The method therefore allows nucleic acid analysis of large samples of whole blood without interference from inhibitors, thereby improving the sensitivity of the nucleic acid analysis.

Title: Preparation of autologous plasma and fibrin gel
Inventor: WHITMORE ELAINE
IPC: A61M1/34
Filed: 1996-03-21
Abstract: A system for preparing autologous plasma comprises a single use filter unit having two inlets in fluid communication with each other, an outlet, and a filtration membrane selectively permeable to blood plasma separating the inlets from the outlet. Manually operable, single use pumps, preferably syringes, connect to the inlets. A flow path is defined along the membrane between the pumps, whereby, whole blood can be repeatedly exchanged between the two pumps, past the membrane, to cause plasma to flow across the membrane and out of the outlet. A syringe can collect plasma from the outlet. Plasma thus collected can be simultaneously applied with a thrombin solution to a site on the body, thereby forming a fibrin gel.

Title: Method and apparatus for forming a guide coat
Inventor: HILLS ROBIN WILLIAM
IPC: B05C17/005
Filed: 1994-09-23
Abstract: A guide coat is formed on a surface as part of a smoothing operation, e.g. of a vehicle bodywork, by distributing finely divided particulate material, e.g. a non-toxic, water-based black powder paint, over the surface so the material remains on and thus highlights any irregularities on the surface. The material may be wiped onto the surface by an applicator, e.g. synthetic foam or sponge (7), impregnated with the material. The material may be stored in a container (1) in a loose, finely divided form (2) or in a compact, substantially solid form (9) from which finely divided particles may be removed. The majority of the material is subsequently removed from the surface as the surface is abraded to remove the highlighted irregularities.

Patent CA-2176162-A1 (CA)
Title: Low Distortion Hydrophone
Inventor: ERATH LOUIS W
IPC: G10K9/122
Filed: 1996-05-09
Abstract: A system and method provide a low distortion hydrophone. A first known piezoelectric element is mounted so as to receive a pressure signal. A second piezoelectric element is provided with a means of receiving and enhancing the same pressure signal. Since a piezoelectric element is a capacitor, another capacitor is coupled in parallel with the second element to serve as a divider. The output voltage of the combination of the two elements is taken as the difference between the positive terminals of the two elements. Thus, the effect of the pressure enhancer and capacitance divider is to provide a difference in potential between the fundamentals from the two elements, while rendering the amplitude of the second harmonics equal. The two equal second harmonics cancel each other out at the output terminals, while retaining a useful fundamental for further signal processing. Further, the means of enhancing the pressure signal may comprise a cone-shaped baffle to amplify the pressure signal, or it may comprise a thinner diaphragm upon which the piezoelectric element is mounted to increase the flexing and thus the stress on the element. Also, more than two hydrophone elements may be coupled together to even more closely eliminate distortion over a wide pressure range.
