Title: Filtering wall for expendable forms, means and process for making said filtering wall and forms equipped with same
Inventor: DAURON FRANCOISE
IPC: E04B2/86
Filed: 2005-01-04
Abstract: The invention concerns a filtering wall designed for an expendable formwork comprising a lattice formed by assembling flexible warp and weft yarns, the lattice being stretched on an undeformable structure. The filtering wall is characterized in that some of the warp yarns are more resistant than other warp yarns, the lattice being stretched by traction solely exerted on the more resistant warp yarns and in that it comprises tension maintaining means for maintaining the tension associating the more resistant yarns with the undeformable structure, the tension maintaining means delimiting a larger mesh than the one resulting from the initial interlacing of the warp and weft yarns.
Patent CA-2492813-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MADDEN SEAN C
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2005-01-17
Abstract: A surgical handpiece having a tip with at least two coaxially spaced electrically conductive tubes. The tubes are separated by an electrical insulator. The interior of the inner tube is used for aspiration of liquefied tissue. The outer tube is surrounded by a soft irrigation sleeve that forms an irrigation fluid path. The distal portion of the interior tube terminates inside of the outer tube so as to form a boiling region. Surgical fluid from the irrigation fluid path can enter the boiling region through a hole or port in the outer tube. Electrical current is passed between the inner and outer tube to rapidly boil any surgical fluid in the boiling region. The boiling fluid rapidly expands out of the ring between the tube ends and forces hot fluid to contact the targeted tissue, thereby liquefying the tissue and allowing the tissue to be aspirated. Such a construction allows the boiling chamber to be self priming and operate even if the outer tube is occluded with material.

Patent CA-2534849-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAROIA RAJIV
IPC: H04W72/00
Filed: 2003-08-07
Abstract: In many cellular systems, reusing spectrum bandwidth, creates problems in boundary regions between the cells and sectors where the signal strength received from adjacent base stations or adjacent sector transmissions of a single base station may be nearly equivalent. The invention creates a new type of diversity, referred to as multiple carrier diversity by utilizing multiple carriers, assigning different power levels to each carrier frequency at each base station, and/or offsetting sector antennas. The cell and/or sector coverage areas can be set so as to minimize or eliminate overlap between cell and/or sector boundary regions of different carrier frequencies. Mobile nodes traveling throughout the system can exploit multiple carrier diversity by detecting carriers and selecting to use a non-boundary carrier based on other system criteria in order to improve performance. Boundary carriers may, but need not be, identified and excluded from consideration for use by a wireless terminal.
