Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à des procédés et à des dispositifs pour éliminer par voie endoluminale des structures anatomiques, telles que des structures vasculaires, sous visualisation endoscopique de la structure anatomique ou du site chirurgical. Cette invention permet à un chirurgien de réaliser ces interventions en pratiquant un petit nombre de courtes incisions. Cette invention propose un guide endoscopique souple allongé, qui peut être passé dans la lumière d'un vaisseau ou d'une structure allongée, telle que la veine saphène, entre une veinotomie d'entrée et une veinotomie de sortie. Ce guide ouvre des passages pour une grande variété de dispositifs chirurgicaux: un endoscope destiné à visualiser les zones chirurgicales pertinentes, un dispositif de cautérisation et d'autres instruments chirurgicaux pour ligature et autre procédures chirurgicales, et un phléboextracteur servant à retirer les structures allongées. Un drain souple poreux peut être déployé pour amener des agents pharmacologiques ou recueillir les fluides sur le site chirurgical. Dans le mode de réalisation préféré, ce dispositif sert à soigner les insuffisances veineuses chroniques, les segments variqueux de la veine saphène, l'insuffisance veineuse et les veines variqueuses, par retrait de ces veines ou de ces segments.

Title: Vehicle transmission shift safety system
Inventor: MALENFANT J E LOUIS
IPC: B60R22/48
Filed: 2001-11-06
Granted: 2010-01-19
Abstract: The invention discloses an assembly and method of controlling the use of an automobile while encouraging the use of occupant restraints (12). The assembly consists of a switch (18) that moves an actuator (16) to and from a blocked position. The actuator (16) blocks the movement of the shift mechanism (10) until occupant restraint sensors (14) detect the occupant restraints (12) in the fastened positions or the expiration of the predetermined time. The predetermined time can begin at a variety of points during the method. The length of the predetermined time also varies based upon which seats in the vehicle are occupied and the weight of the passengers. The length of the predetermined time must be long enough to frustrate the operator to fasten the occupant restraint (12). A microprocessor may be included to increase the length of the predetermined time to encourage operators to fasten their occupant restraints (12).

Title: Hand holdable pump spray apparatus
Inventor: HAVLOVITZ PAUL M
IPC: B05B11/00
Filed: 2000-12-07
Granted: 2006-10-03
Abstract: A hand holdable pump spray apparatus is disclosed where the pump mechanism is in the hand holdable wand (14) rather than in a spaced apart liquid container. The wand (14) may be held with one handle (54) is extended with other hand. This creates a pressure differential which allows liquid to flow from the container (10), passed a check valve (84) and into the wand (14). After filling, a biased spring provides a force against the liquid creating a higher pressure in the wand (14) than ambient pressure. This closes the check valve (84). When an operator depresses an actuator (68), another valve (88) opens allowing the liquid in the wand (14) to be ejected through a nozzle (66).

Abstract: A simple block coding arrangement is created with symbols transmitted over a plurality of transmit channels, in connection with coding that comprises only simple arithmetic operations, such as negation and conjugation. The diversity created by the transmitter utilizes space diversity and either time or frequency diversity. Space diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting over a plurality of antennas, time diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different times, and frequency diversity is effected by redundantly transmitting at different frequencies. Illustratively, using two transmit antennas and a single receive antenna, one of the disclosed embodiments provides the same diversity gain as the maximal-ratio receiver combining (MRRC) scheme with one transmit antenna and two receive antennas. The principles of this invention are applicable to arrangements with more than two antennas, and an illustrative embodiment is disclosed using the same space block code with two transmit and two receive antennas.
