Patent CA-2482662-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LINDSTROM ERIK
IPC: E05B47/06
Filed: 2003-04-02
Abstract: Cette combinaison de serrure à barillet électromécanique et de clef avec code optique, comporte un boîtier renfermant le barillet et un noyau de barillet (30), monté rotatif dans le boîtier et pourvu d'un entrée (30) de clef (20). Plusieurs mécanismes mobiles de verrouillage actionnés par un clef bloquent la rotation du noyau de barillet si ce n'est pas la bonne clef qui est introduite dans l'entrée de clef. Un lecteur de code optique (46, 48), placé dans la serrure, lit un élément de code optique que comporte la clef, une fois celle-ci introduite. L'un au moins de ces mécanismes de verrouillage (39) fait office de barre empêchant l'introduction d'une clef dans l'entrée de clef, à moins que celle-ci ne possède le bon élément de code optique. Le fait d'utiliser au moins l'un des mécanismes mécaniques se trouvant déjà dans la serrure, en tant qu'élément du mécanisme de verrouillage commandé électroniquement, associé à l'emploi d'un code optique ne nécessitant de pièces mobiles pour sa lecture, permet de réduire au minimum les besoins en espace à l'intérieur de la serrure.

Title: Surgical stapling instrument incorporating a multistroke firing position indicator and retraction mechanism
Inventor: SHELTON IV FREDERICK E
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2004-09-28
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopi c procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in orde r to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A linked transmission reduces the required handle longitudinal length, yet achieves a rigid, strong configuration when straightened for firing. A traction biased firing mechani sm avoids binding in driving this straightened linked rack in cooperation with an anti - backup mechanism, with a lockout mechanism that prevents releasing the closure trigger during tiring. Furthermore, an external indicator gives feedback to the surgeon as to how far firing has progressed, as well as providing a manual retraction capability.</S DOAB>

Title: Image pickup device
Inventor: KANEKO KATSUMI
IPC: H04N5/272
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: An image signal producing part (11) produces an image signal (DVb) of a variable-frame-rate picked-up image whose frame rate has been made variable. A  frame rate converting part (30) converts the frame rate of an image signal (DVu) supplied thereto into the frame rate of the image signal (DVb) and synchronizes the image signal (DVu) with the image signal (DVb) to produce an image signal (DVw). A monitor image signal producing part (40) uses the image signals (DVb,DVw) to produce and output, as monitor image signals (DMTout,SMTout), an image signal (DVmix) of an image in which the images based on image signals (DVb,DVw) are mixed with each other. Alternatively, the monitor image signal producing part (40) produces and outputs, as the monitor image signals (DMTout,SMTout), an image signal (DVwp) of an image in which a portion of the image based on the image signal (DVb) has been replaced by the image based on the image signal (DVw). It is thus possible to simultaneously display the variable-frame-rate picked-up image and an image that has a different frame rate.
