Patent CA-2823803-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods and apparatus for forming contoured edible pieces
Inventor: GRAHAM GEORGE
IPC: A23G3/12
Filed: 2006-02-13
Abstract: A method for forming thin edible pieces uses two continuous belts that cooperate to form a fill cavity. An edible mass, such as chocolate, is flowed into the fill cavity where it forms an edible blank which is transported on a belt path with the two belts moving in tandem. After the edible blank is released from the first or second continuous belt, a three-dimensional shape may be imparted to the edible blank at a forming station using one or more stamping dies or a forming drum. Using the techniques and apparatus described herein, novel edible products, and particularly novel chocolate products, can be made having shape characteristics that cannot be obtained using known molding or forming techniques.
Patent CA-2824669-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BORGEN HARALD
IPC: E21B47/12
Filed: 2011-12-28
Abstract: The present invention relates to a system for transmitting electrical signals and/or electrical energy via an electrically conductive medium (7). An eddy current is created when a time-variable current is applied to an electric wound coil (1, 3), in the form of a band with conductor paths extending parallel to the surface of the electrically current-carrying medium, thereby creating a magnetic field which penetrates the surface of the electrically conductive medium (7). Since the magnetic field varies with time, an electric field will be generated which is oriented at 90 degrees to the magnetic field. This electric field will generate a potential difference between an upper and lower part of the electric wound coil (1, 3). The electric field will cause a movement of electrons, thereby creating a flow between the upper and lower part of the electric wound coil (1, 3). This time-variable flow of electrons will attempt to equalize the potential difference by electrons flowing back on the opposite side of the electrically conductive medium (7), thereby creating a circulating flow between an external and an internal surface of the electrically conductive medium (7). Since a flow is created on the opposite side of the generating electric wound coil (1, 3), this flow will form a magnetic field which in turn induces a voltage in the adjacent electric wound coil (1, 3). The system is omnidirectional and acts in both directions.

Abstract: A wearable tactile display device is disclosed wherein two or more vibrating stimulation pins can be located close to each other in one plane by means of the underlying vibratory actuation piezoelectric bending elements arranged in a cantilever configuration partially overlapping over each other as another set of planes.  Further, optionally and in addition, the plane in which the tips of stimulation pins protrude may be a curved surface providing with the ability to comply with a curved human body part such as a finger. According to an aspect of the invention, vibratory stimulation can be achieved at close spatial resolution by advantageously reducing the space between adjacent stimulation pins through their ability to engage with different adjacent piezoelectric cantilever bending elements when they are placed at different planes.  According to another aspect of the invention, vibratory stimulation can be achieved at additional closer spatial resolution by advantageously using the geometrical space between adjacent piezoelectric cantilever bending elements when they are placed at an angle to each other. The programmable controller employed in order to program the pattern of stimulation pin vibrations can be advantageously used for generating different amplitudes and frequencies of vibration.

Title: Transdermal patch containing microneedles
Inventor: ROSS RUSSELL F
IPC: A61M37/00
Filed: 2012-01-16
Abstract: A transdermal patch that can easily deliver a controlled volume of a fluidic drug compound to the skin is provided. More particularly, the patch contains a microneedle assembly that is configured to be placed in fluid communication with a drug delivery assembly. The microneedle assembly contains a support and a plurality of microneedles that extend outwardly from the support. The microneedles are formed with one or more channels of a certain dimension such that passive capillary flow drives the flow of the drug compound. The drug delivery system contains a reservoir for the drug compound that is in fluid communication with -a rate control membrane that helps control the flow rate of the drug compound by modulating its pressure downstream from the reservoir. A release member is also positioned adjacent to the microneedle and drug delivery assemblies. Prior to use, the release member acts as a barrier to the flow of the drug compound and thus inhibits premature leakage. In this manner, the patch can initially be provided in an "inactive" configuration in which the drug compound is securely retained. When it is desired to release the drug compound, the patch can simply be activated by at least partially separating the release member from the drug delivery and microneedle assemblies.
