Inventor: NEUMANN ERICH
IPC: C08F6/26
Filed: 2003-11-21
Abstract: Dans un procédé permettant d'éliminer des composés volatils oxydables de particules présentes dans un récipient, un flux gazeux est introduit de manière continue dans ledit récipient, ledit flux gazeux prélevant le composé oxydable des particules du récipient et un flux gazeux chargé du composant oxydable étant déchargé du récipient. Dans le procédé de l'invention, on ajoute de l'oxygène au flux gazeux qui a été déchargé, et le composant oxydable présent dans le gaz déchargé est ensuite au moins partiellement catalytiquement oxydé à l'aide de l'oxygène. Le gaz oxydé forme au moins une partie du flux gazeux introduit, de sorte que le gaz introduit circule, l'élimination des composés oxydables des particules étant de ce fait sûre et bon marché.
Patent CA-2505792-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DRAKULIC BUDIMIR
IPC: A61B5/374
Filed: 2003-09-29
Abstract: Selon l'invention, un ordinateur hôte met en oeuvre un microprocesseur pour commander chaque unité d'une pluralité d'amplificateurs afin de traiter des signaux relativement à des signaux individuels d'une pluralité de signaux physiologiques chez un patient. Les signaux sont transmis aux amplificateurs par des terminaux reliés à différentes parties du corps du patient. Les terminaux transmettent simultanément les signaux aux amplificateurs, mais le microprocesseur traite ces signaux de manière séquentielle. Le microprocesseur teste et étalonne les amplificateurs avant de traiter les signaux émanant des terminaux. Les amplificateurs présentent sensiblement la même construction, indépendamment de l'endroit où les terminaux associés sont disposés sur le corps du patient. Les amplificateurs peuvent être dotés de caractéristiques pouvant éliminer le bruit et fournir des signaux de sortie dans une plage de fréquence limitée à l'intérieur de laquelle des phases relatives des signaux sont préservées.

Patent CA-2512954-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BRISTOL RODNEY
IPC: A61L27/50
Filed: 2004-01-09
Abstract: An attachment surface for an implantable device has an irregular pattern (46,47,45,44,40) formed through a process including masking, chemical or electrochemical etching, blasting and debris removal steps. Surface material is removed from the implant surface without stress on the adjoining material and the process provides fully dimensional fillet radii at the base of the surface irregularities. This irregular surface is adapted to receive the ingrowth of bone material and to provide a strong anchor for that bone material which is resistant to cracking or breaking. The surface is prepared through an etching process which utilizes the random application of a maskant and subsequent etching in areas unprotected by the maskant. This chemical etching process is repeated a number of times as necessitated by the nature of the irregularities required in the surface. The blasting and debris removal steps produce microfeatures (150) on the surface that enhance the ingrowth of bone material.

Title: Pallet truck tiller arm with angular speed mode adjustment and acceleration control
Inventor: LINDSAY RYAN PHILIP
IPC: B66F9/075
Filed: 2005-09-27
Abstract: A motorized pallet truck includes an angular indicator on the steering arm mechanism providing an internal controller with an angular position of the steering arm or tiller. The controller applies a brake when the tiller is in either of a substantially vertical or substantially horizontal position, limits the speed of the truck for a predetermined rotational movement from the vertical position, and allows full speed of the vehicle when the tiller arm is pulled into a predefined fast driving arc. The controller further limits the rate of acceleration of the truck when the truck is transitioned between a slow and a fast mode of operation to prevent rapid acceleration in the speed of the truck during the transition.

Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, devices, apparatuses, and methods for the replacement of existing underground pipes. In general, an apparatus comprises a body, including a receiving portion, and a breaking assembly adapted to be positioned within the receiving portion and detachably coupled to the body. In one example, the body and the breaking assembly are adapted, when coupled, to split the existing underground pipe when pulled therethrough using one or more cutting wheels. In varying examples, each cutting wheel radially protrudes out of a breaking assembly housing an increasing amount along a length of the apparatus allowing for a clean, progressive cut of the existing pipe. In another example, the body and the breaking assembly are adapted, when coupled, to burst the existing pipe when pulled therethrough. Advantageously, the present devices, apparatuses, and methods may provide replacement of underground pipes requiring minimal excavation and making economical use of parts.
