Patent CA-2478365-C (CA)
Inventor: PEREA LEVI J JR
IPC: G08B5/36

Abstract: A signaling device (10) for annunciating in a hallway of a building a status of a monitored person or object is provided. The signaling device includes at least two vertically stacked sections (28) for announcing a status of the monitored person or object with each section announcing a status of a different condition. Each section includes a solid-state, light-emitting device (LED) (32) that is supported such that when the device is mounted to the wall of the hallway a beam of light from the LED is substantially aimed at a wall opposing the wall to which the device is mounted. A pair of opposing planar surfaces (38) extends along diverging planes and is supported over each LED to receive the LED's beam of light. Each of the planar surface extends at an angle approximately equal to a characteristic optical beam angle of the beam of light. This arrangement causes light from the light beam to substantially uniformly illuminate an entirety of each of the planar surfaces when viewed from an angle approximately perpendicular to a direction in which the beam of light is aimed. Each of the planar surfaces has an area sufficient to be easily viewed at a location in the hallway remote from where the device is mounted such that one planar surface of the pair is easily seen from one end of the hallway and the other planar surface is easily seen from the other end of the hallway. The signaling device further includes a lens (42) for diffusing light reflected from the planar surfaces.

Title: A method and apparatus for wireless remote telemetry using ad-hoc networks
Inventor: SOLIMAN SAMIR S
IPC: H04Q9/00
Filed: 2003-03-13
Granted: 2010-01-05
Abstract: A wireless remote telemetry system uses low-cost, low-power ad-hoc networks to provide flexible reading and control of remote devices. In an embodiment applicable to a utility service, consumption of electrical power among a population of customers is measured by a utility metering system having ad-hoc network communication capability. The remote metering unit transmits information over an ad-hoc network to one or more intermediate communication units or hops. The intermediate communication units or hops include a mobile unit, a mobile base unit, a subscriber home computer, and a home base unit.  Each of these hops may co-exist in the same large-scale system. The intermediate communication units transfer the received information to a central controller through multi-hop ad-hoc networks or cellular networks, according to intelligent planning by the wireless infrastructure or the central unit.

Granted: 2012-08-28
Abstract: A combination medical device comprising a circular stapler instrument (4) and one or more portions of preformed buttress material (16) adapted to be stably positioned upon the staple cartridge (12) and/or anvil (14) components of the stapler (4) prior or at the time of use. Positioned buttress material(s) (16) are delivered to a tissue site where the circular stapler (4) is actuated to connect previously severed tissue portions. An embodiment of the invention allows tissue portions to be joined without the use of sutures. The buttress material (16) is made up of two regions, one of which serves primarily to secure the buttress material (16) to the stapler (4) prior to actuation, and one of which serves primarily to form the improved seal. The former region is severed and discarded upon activation of the circular stapler (4) to form anastomoses, while the remaining material secures and seals the newly connected tissue. Methods of use and preparation of the buttress material (16) are also described.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un système permettant de maintenir la ligne de visibilité d'une caméra de bord fixée sur une cible, par la compensation de la vitesse de survol de l'aéronef. Ce système de compensation commande automatiquement une vitesse angulaire de la ligne de visibilité, de sorte à maintenir la caméra dirigée sur la cible survolée. La vitesse angulaire de la ligne de visibilité est calculée en fonction de la vitesse de survol de l'aéronef et d'un vecteur allant de l'aéronef à la cible. Cette compensation automatique de la vitesse de survol de l'aéronef permet à la ligne de visibilité de rester fixée sur la cible.

Granted: 2012-09-18
Abstract: The present invention provides a device for occluding an anatomical aperture, such as an atrial septal defect (ASD) or a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The occluder (20) includes two sides connected by a central tube. The occluder is formed from a tube (25), which is cut to produce struts (32) in each side.  Upon the application of force, the struts deform into loops. The loops may be of various shapes, sizes, and configurations, and, in at least some embodiments, the loops have rounded peripheries. In some embodiments, at least one of the sides includes a tissue scaffold. The occluder further includes a catch system (131) that maintains its deployed state in vivo. When the occluder is deployed in vivo,the two sides are disposed on opposite sides of the septal tissue surrounding the aperture and the catch system is deployed so that the occluder exerts a compressive force on the septal tissue and closes the aperture.

Title: Method for calibrating rotation centres in veneer peeling
Inventor: HYYSTI MIKA
IPC: B27L5/02
Filed: 2004-09-23
Granted: 2012-05-01
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for peeling veneer from a log, wherein the centring device is automatically calibrated during the peeling process without interrupting the production. Used methods of prior art require the production to be interrupted during the calibration. In the method in accordance with the invention, the contour of the log is defined by means of techniques of prior art in the centring device by measuring the distance between the surface of the log and the rotation axis at several points along the length of the log, and the rotation centres of the ends of the log are set to the spindles of the lathe in accordance with this determination of contour. The validity of the centring is controlled by measuring the peeling yield while the log is positioned to the spindles of the lather in accordance with the data received from the centring device. The positioning of the rotation centres is continuously calibrated based on the control of the peeling yield, without interrupting the production.
