Patent CA-2584715-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OLSON JONATHAN M
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2005-07-11
Abstract: A coiled ladder stent (12) comprises side rails (14, 16) and rungs (18) connecting the rails. At least one rung has lower strength portion (24) or is an enhanced flexibility (28) rung, or both. The lower strength portion is positioned at a reduced strength fracture location (26) along the rung so to promote any fracture of the ladder stmt at the fracture location along the rung to help prevent fracture of a rail. One way to make the lower strength portion is to make the cross-sectional area of the lower strength portion less than the average cross-sectional area of the rung. The enhanced flexibility aspect helps to accommodate relative movement between the side rails. Doing so helps to prevent fracture of the rails and rungs. In some embodiments of the invention the enhanced flexibility rung comprises one or more nonlinear, such as generally S-shaped or generally U-shaped, portions.

Title: Method and apparatus for sample deposition
Inventor: COVEY THOMAS
IPC: B01L99/00
Filed: 2006-02-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus is disclosed to prepare a sample or a plurality of samples for subsequent analysis. A single sample deposition apparatus, and a multiplexed sample deposition apparatus are shown. The apparatus allows for a system that can provide a high throughput deposition of samples to form chromatograms by discrete droplet deposition or as continuous traces. The system can achieve high resolution digitization by pulsing the fluid emanating from the chromatographs by applying a voltage to the target plate that operates at frequencies equal to or greater than about 10 Hz, and up to and including about 1 KHz. The system also allows for analogue recording (i.e., approaching infinite resolution) by nebulizing the fluid coming from multiple columns and simultaneously collecting it on a target plate as a continuous trace.

Abstract: A system and method for monitoring the use of consumable materials in packaging machines is provided. The system generally includes a plurality of packaging machines that are configured to selectively operate in first and second modes to perform different packaging operations, e.g., by using consumable materials at different consumable usage rates to form different packaging devices.  A controller in each machine controls the operation of the machine in the different modes and is configured to communicate the consumable usage data via a port. A    portable module can be electronically connected to each machine during a connection session to communicate with the controller and receive the consumable usage data. The data from the module is then received by a user interface that provides an indication to a user of the usage of the machines in the first and second modes, e.g., to indicate to the user which machines are being used to form which packaging devices and/or how much of the operation of the machines is being used to form each of the packaging devices.

Title: Advanced white balance, color correction, exposure and contrast setting tool for photographic purposes that allows the reflective or incident method of light measure
Inventor: O'KANE JEAN-FRANCOIS
IPC: G03B17/56
Filed: 2007-07-18
Abstract: The present invention is concerned with an exposure apparatus comprises a visual target that reflects or transmits a stable value of light, by suppressing the color and density variables to achieve a chromatically neutral reproduction and an exposure accurate capture of images by any image capturing device such as a photographic camera under any exposure condition. A user of such a device may be informed of the accuracy of the device settings by means of a histogram of an image including the target, thereby enabling proper adjustment of settings at that time. Failing to adjust settings at the moment of image capture, the user may use the information carried by the image of the target to perform further adjustment using most of image editing software. The apparatus comprises a visual target having two areas that reflect high amounts of light without being equal, thus allowing a user to judge the discrimination of the device and it's ability to properly record this high level of light, combined with a chromatically neutral area of 18% grey that will suppress the effects of color temperature variations in achieving accurate neutral reproduction. The invention is further concerned with a method of using the apparatus for color and white balance setting.
