Title: Dynamometre
Inventor: DUMOULIN CHANTAL
IPC: A61B5/22
Filed: 2001-12-20
Abstract: Pour la prise de mesure, la femme évaluée adopte une position décubitus dorsal, hanches et genoux fléchis, pied à plat sur une table gynécologique conventionnelle. L'évaluateur prépare l'instrument pour la mesure en recouvrant chaque branche d'un condom  et en lubrifiant celles-ci avec un gel hypoallergène. Les branches de l'appareil peuvent être trempées auparavant dans un contenant d'eau stérile chauffée à température d u corps pour le confort de la patiente. Ganté, l'évaluateur insère ensuite les deux branches de l'instrument de mesure dans la cavité vaginale dans un axe antéro-postérieur  à une profondeur de 5 cm (branche étalonnée à 5 cm). Selon Bo et al., la masse musculaire du plancher pelvien se localise à environ 3.5 cm de l'ouverture de la cavité vaginale (Bo, 1991). La profondeur de S cm permet donc le serrement de la portion péri- vaginale du plancher pelvien sur les bras inférieurs de l'appareil. La branche supérieur e ira s'appuyer en dessous de l'os pubien. Afin d'éviter le mouvement du dynamomètre lors de  la prise de mesure, l'évaluateur maintient le dynamomètre en place en prenant appui avec son avant bras sur la table. Dans cette position (branches du dynamomètre fermées), l'évaluateur peut mesurer la résistance passive (tonicité) et la résistance active (force musculaire). Ensuite, à l'aide de la vis, l'évaluateur éloigne l'une de l'autre, les deux branches afin de prendre des mesures dans différentes pistes musculaires. La  branche supérieure ira encore s'appuyer en dessous de l'os pubien. Afin d'éviter le mouvement du dynamomètre lors de la prise de mesure, l'évaluateur ressert la seconde v is et maintient le dynamomètre en place en prenant appui avec son avant bras sur l a table. L'évaluateur peut mesurer encore la résistance passive et active offerte par  le pubo- vaginal partie intégrante du plancher pelvien.

Inventor: CLAGETT JAMES
IPC: A61P17/02
Filed: 2000-03-20
Abstract: Methods for treating fibrosis in a mammal are described. An antifibrotic effective amount of a peptide having the formula f-Met-Leu-X where X is selected from the group consisting of Tyr, Tyr-Phe, Phe-Phe and Phe-Tyr is administered to the mammal. The fibrosis may be due to pathological changes resulting, e.g., from pulmonary fibrosis, atherosclerosis, cirrhosis, glomerulosclerosis, chronic pancreatitus, coronary artery disease (such as caused by infection by bacterium Chlamydia pneumoniae, trauma or surgical procedures. Examples of surgical procedures that cause fibrosis are post-operative fibrosis peri-neurally in the dura or nerve roots following spinal surgery, tenolysis of injured or repaired tendons with adhesions, neurolysis of damaged or repaired peripheral nerves with adhesions, post-operative adhesions from gynecologic and abdominal surgeries, reparative surgery of the vas deferens or fallopian tubes for reversal of male or female sterilization, and surgical repair of other tubular structures such as urethra, intestine or esophagus.

Patent CA-2373667-A1 (CA)
Title: Throughput control for combines
Inventor: COERS BRUCE ALAN
IPC: A01D41/127
Filed: 2002-02-27
Abstract: An agricultural combine having a supporting structure that is driven by ground engaging wheels at a harvesting speed by a propulsion assembly. The combine is also provided with crop processing assemblies for processing a harvested crop. A  feederhouse directs the harvested crop material to the crop processing assemblies. A  feederhouse force sensor senses the force exerted by the harvested crap material as it passes through the feederhouse. The feederhouse force signal is directly related to crop throughput. An operator control in the operator's cab of the combine provides a loss rate signal that is also directed to the electronic controller. The electronic controller converts the loss rate signal into a desired feederhouse force signal. The electronic controller regulates the forward speed (harvesting speed) of the combine so that the desired feederhouse force signal is equal to the actual feederhouse force signal. The harvesting speed regulation can be modified or overridden by moisture signals from a moisture sensor located in the feederhouse for sensing the moisture content of harvested crop.

Patent CA-2376828-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for attracting and collecting insects
Inventor: CHURA DANIEL
IPC: A01M1/10
Filed: 2002-03-15
Abstract: An apparatus is provided for collecting insects comprising (i) a source of propane, (ii) a propane burner arranged to combust propane from the source of propane so as to produce carbon dioxide and water vapour as products of combustion for attracting insects, and (iii) an insect collector located in proximity to the propane burner for collecting insects attracted to the propane burner. The use of a propane burner provides the desired products of combustion including carbon dioxide and water vapour as well as heat for mimicking the breathing of animals to attract biting insects using readily available propane tanks. The convection of heat from the propane burner is further beneficial because a flow of carbon dioxide and water vapour through the collector may be achieved without the additional requirement of fans or any other complex arrangement of parts. The collector may comprise an electrical grid which does not require a light for attracting insects as do conventional electrical grids for pest control.
