Patent CA-2410971-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MACMAHON JOHN M
IPC: A61M25/10
Filed: 2001-05-31
Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for effective removal of emboli or harmful fluids during vascular procedures, such as angiography, balloon angioplasty, stent deployment, laser angioplasty, atherectomy, intravascular ultrasonography and other therapeutic and diagnostic procedures. A catheter (102) with an occluder (114) mounted at its distal end (106) creates an occlusion proximal to the lesion. The catheter (102) provides a pathway for introducing a treatment catheter. Prior to, during or subsequent to the procedure, suction is activated to establish retrograde flow to remove emboli from the site. Additionally, a thin catheter (120) with a distal fluid ejection nozzle may be introduced distal to the treatment site to rinse emboli from the treatment site. The suction flow and/or ejected fluid flow may be varied in a pulsatile manner to simulate regular blood flow and/or perturb settled emboli into being captured. The method establishes a protective environment before any devices enter the site to be treated.

Title: Dispositif de terminaison actif avec fonctionnalites optionnelles de reception et de commande de ligne
Inventor: BINDER YEHUDA
IPC: H03K19/003
Filed: 2001-09-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de terminaison actif (30) destiné à une ligne de transmission électrique, ce dispositif présentant des fonctionnalités optionnelles de réception et de commande de ligne. Le dispositif de base est une unité à deux bornes, appelée unité d'annulation de signal (SCU), qui détecte le signal disponible au niveau de ses bornes (34a, 34b) et applique une réaction négative pour annuler et absorber le signal. Lorsqu'elle est installée à l'extrémité d'une ligne de transmission (15a, 15b) à l'intérieur d'un réseau de communication par câble, la SCU fait office de terminateur. Si elle est raccordée au milieu de ladite ligne de transmission par câble, la SCU divise la ligne de transmission en deux segments séparés et isolés. Dans ce type de configuration, la SCU peut être utilisée pour isoler une partie d'un réseau contre la détérioration de signal due au bruit ou à un point de raccordement. Par ailleurs, les deux segments isolés peuvent chacun employer des communications indépendantes pour empêcher les interférences entre ces segments. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, une fonctionnalité de réception de ligne est intégrée à la SCU, alors appelée unité d'annulation et de réception de signal (SCRU) (90). La SCRU assure toutes les fonctions de la SCU et sert en outre de récepteur de ligne dans le réseau de communication. Dans un mode de réalisation supplémentaire, une fonctionnalité de commande de ligne est intégrée à la SCRU, alors appelée unité d'annulation, de réception et de transmission de signal (SCRTU) (120). La SCRTU assure toutes les fonctions de la SCRU et sert en outre de commande de ligne dans le réseau de communication. En raccordant plusieurs SCRTU à une ligne de transmission continue, on peut former des segments de communication point à point indépendants et terminés.

IPC: G06F21/62
Filed: 2003-05-07
Abstract: The present invention provides a data updating method and a data updating system which can update data of an IC card through a network without mistaking the IC card targeted for updating. When each of issuer client authentication, personal authentication, issuer server authentication and device authentication is performed, a server transmits update data encrypted by a public key used for the device authentication to a client. Then, the client outputs the encrypted update data to an IC card. In the IC card, the update data is decrypted by a secret key used for the device authentication. Based on the decrypted update data, rewriting is carried out in the IC card.

Inventor: SIMPSON STEPHEN D
IPC: C23G3/02
Filed: 2002-03-26
Abstract: An automatic system is used for controlling the cleaning stage of a strip cleaning line, e.g. an aluminum strip cleaning line. The cleaning line includes a chemical cleaning section and at least one rinse section, with cleaning solution being sprayed onto the top and bottom faces of the aluminu m strip as it passes through the cleaning section.

Patent CA-2440407-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NO YEONG TAE
IPC: H04W8/10
Filed: 2003-02-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to method and apparatus for providing an arbitrary sound chosen by a called subscriber instead of ringback tone to a calling subscriber. In this present invention, if a call is received, a terminating exchanger requests a trunk connection to a sound db server based on the first information on whether or not to replace a ringback tone and the second information on a route to the sound db server that are received from a home location register (HLR), and provides a called subscriber identification for the sound server. Then, the sound db server searches its db for a sound specified by the called, and provides the found sound for the caller instead of a conventional ringback tone via the terminating exchanger connected through a trunk. Through this sequential procedure of network elements, a caller can hear a sound specified by a called instead of a dry ringback tone.
