Patent CA-2072438-A1 (CA)
Title: Shock-absorbing heel support
Inventor: BROWN DENNIS N
IPC: A43B21/26
Filed: 1992-06-26
Abstract: ABSTRACT      A heel support for providing both effective shock absorption at heel strike and during the first 25% of the gait cycle, and effective rearfoot control to ensure proper foot function during the remaining phases of the gait cycle. The heel support assembly has a firm, semi-rigid support portion and a compressible cushioning portion, the cushioning portion being configured to collapse under the heel of the foot at heel strike, so that the heel support assembly absorbs the shock of the heel strike, and also collapses on the lateral side of the orthotic so as to invert the rearfoot from a first pre-selected position to a second pre-selected position; normally, the first selected position is about 0°-2° inverted and the second position is about 4°-6° inverted.  A heel post portion is provided on the medial side of the heel support assembly to arrest eversion of the rearfoot portion at a third predetermined position at about 25% of the gait cycle, the third position being substantially at the neutral position so that the foot is prepared for the propulsion phase of the gait cycle.  The heel support may be mounted to the heel portion of an orthotic for placement in an article of footwear, or may be formed integrally with the heel portion of the article of footwear itself.

Title: Method for drying, especially waste material, such as shrimp or crayfish shell, fish offal, etc.
Inventor: SKJOLD RENE
IPC: F26B3/10
Filed: 1990-06-06
Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE           Offal material, such as shrimp or crab shells, fish offal, etc., is dried to produce a fine-grained base material or  additive  for use  in  foodstuffs  and  animal  fodder  by subjecting a starting material in a chamber to a turbulent air current which accelerates the material lumps into various paths of movement.  Hereby the material lumps continuously collide with each other, thereby constantly exposing new surfaces or rupture.    The  chamber  is  supplied  with  air,  having  a temperature which partly depends on the temperature of the starting material and partly depends on the comminution rate, in an amount adjusted according to the amount of starting material introduced per time unit.  Hereby it is achieved that free water is immediately removed from the exposed surfaces of rupture by evaporation.  By exerting a counter-pressure, the material is retained in the chamber until a desired particle size has been achieved.  If the particles discharged from the chamber are oversize, they are separated off and returned to the inlet of the chamber.

Title: Intraoperative beta probe and method of using the same
Inventor: MAZZIOTTA JOHN C
IPC: G01T1/161
Filed: 1991-04-26
Abstract: An intraoperative radiation probe is devised to detect radiolabelled malignant tissues by being selectively sensitive to beta radiation while insensitive to gamma radiation. The probe is comprised of two plastic scintillators (12, 14) optically coupled to corresponding photomultiplier tubes (22,24) via corresponding light pipes (16, 18).      One of the plastic scintillators is shielded (38) against beta radiation while the other is left to detect both beta and gamma radiation. The gamma radiation sensitivity of the dual probes is empirically established and used as a weighted factor to subtract the outputs of the two probes to leave a signal indicative of the beta radiation emitted by the radiolabelled tissue. Because of the shorter range of beta radiation within tissue, only near radiolabelled tissue is detected by the probe while strongly radiolabelled, more distant tissues exposing the probe to gamma radiation are ignored. The reliably identified rear radiolabelled tissues can then be surgically removed. The probe is usable in any application where local beta radiation is to be differentiated from other types and sources of radiation.

Title: Apparatus for securing an article to a user's leg
Inventor: ANDERSON ROLF
IPC: F16M13/04
Filed: 1993-02-05
Abstract: Abstract A securement device for releasable attachment of a laptop a computer or other article to a user's leg. The securement device includes a table member and a pair of in-folding leg members, one each of which is attached for hinged movement relative to a corresponding side edge portion of the table member. Elastic webbing interconnects the free end portion of each leg member to a central portion on the underside of the table member. The securement device is centered on a user's leg and a pair of coacting straps are used to snugly encircle the user's lag whereby the free end portion of the leg members are in supporting engagement at either side of the user's leg. The straps and webbing snugly encircle the user's leg and act to prevent pivotal movement of the securement device relative thereto and the leg members brace the table member to prevent displacement thereof as a result of ordinary unbalanced imposed forces. Elastic straps are provided whereby an article such as a laptop computer may be releasably attached to the supporting surface of the table member. The invention allows a user of a laptop computer to stand and walk a few steps without displacing the laptop computer. When removed from a user's leg, the securement device folds to a compact storage position so that the laptop computer or other article may be easily transported or stored or placed on a supporting surface such as a table or desk and operated in the usual manner.

Filed: 1992-01-30
Abstract: Cells, serum or fractions thereof from exposed hosts, especially those with demonstrated ability to protect against infection are screening reagents to identify antigens for use in protective vaccines. Biological materials from exposed native hosts can be validated in vivo in an irrelevant host by their ability to destroy or impair the infectious agent. Validation is performed by implanting the infectious agent in a membrane enclosure into an animal host to which the candidate screening reagent has been transferred. The candidate providing sucessful destruction or impairment of the infectious agent can then be used to screen antigens produced by cDNA expression libraries or in extracts of the infectious agents to identify components of effective vaccines. Using this method, candidate heartworm immunogens, in particular one of 39 kd, have been identified.
