Patent CA-2197964-C (CA)
Inventor: SALLWASSER ALAN
IPC: E21B7/06
Filed: 1997-02-19
Granted: 2002-12-03
Abstract: An apparatus and method are disclosed for applying thrust (weight on bit) to a drill bit when drilling with a flexible drilling shaft while creating perforations in a cased well. The thrust is applied directly to the drill bit instead of applying it to the drill bit through the flexible drilling shaft. A support bracket is also in contact with a piston and is in slidable contact with the tool housing. A portion of the piston is positioned inside a chamber in the housing and is slidably attached to the chamber walls. As hydraulic fluid flows into the chamber opposite the piston, the piston is forced toward the drill bit. As the piston moves toward the drill bit, force is exerted on the support bracket whichcauses the bracket to move toward the drill bit. This force is transferred to the drill bit during the drilling process, thereby supplying the force (weight on bit) needed by the drill bit to effectively drill through a desired material.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé de détection qualitative et quantitative de l'amplification d'une séquence cible par production concurrente de produits secondaires d'amplification marqués à l'aide d'un marqueur lipophile. Les produits secondaires d'amplification sont conçus de manière à pouvoir être produits, coupés, ou cassés en fonction de l'amplification de la cible. Cela réduit le nombre des nucléotides hydrophiles liés au marqueur lipophile et permet le transfert des produits secondaires d'amplification coupés, ou cassés, marqueur lipophile compris, de la phase aqueuse de réaction vers une phase organique en vue de leur détection qui constitue un indicateur de l'amplification de la cible.

Abstract: Foams capable of absorbing blood and blood-based fluids, especially menses.  These absorbent foams have high capillary absorption pressures required of absorbents used in catamenial products, yet have sufficient openness to allow free movement of the insoluble components in blood-based fluids such as menses.  These absorbent foams are made by polymerizing high internal phase emulsions (HIPEs) where the volume to weight ratio of the water phase to the oil phase is in the range of from about 20:1 to about 125:1.  These foams are particularly useful as absorbent members for catamenial pads.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de fabrication en continu de planches composées de fibres de lignocellulose, dans lequel la matière est décomposée en particules et/ou en fibres qui sont séchées, collées, puis formées et comprimées en une planche finie. Le mat est précomprimé et, pendant cette phase de précompression, on introduit de la vapeur dans une quantité limitée au point que la température du mat de fibres augmente pour atteindre entre 60 et 95  DEG C. De cette façon, les caractéristiques de détente du mat de fibres sont réduites, ce qui permet de réduire également sa résistance à la compression et de diminuer encore l'épaisseur du mat dans la phase de précompression, tout en évitant une température élevée au point de déclencher un durcissement.

Abstract: The present invention measures cardiac power and power increase under stress , thus calculating contractile reserve (CR), the difference between cardiac peak power and cardiac power at rest by connecting a person to an electrocardiograph and determining the pressure-volume loop (PVL) of a patient's heart. While deflating an inflated cuff on the person's arm at a controlled rate, a series of data points from peak systolic to diastolic pressure is obtained, each point consisting of cuff pressure at penetration coupled with the time of its occurrence after the corresponding ORS complex; a curve-fitting procedure is applied to turn said data points into a pressure curve resembling the ascending limb of the aortic pressure wave. The end systolic pressure (ESP) is calculated using the expression ESP = DP + 2/3 (PSP - DP), where DP = diastolic pressure and PSP = peak systolic pressure. The volume at poin t ESP is calculated by integrating said flow curve throughout the ejection phase of the patient's heart.

Title: A system for connecting calls on physically distinct servers on an advanced intelligent network
Inventor: MEYER DENNIS FREDERICK
IPC: H04M7/06
Filed: 1998-05-21
Granted: 2001-10-30
Abstract: A bridge connection is made between interfaces on physically distinct telecommunication servers such that the two ends of the bridge can be used to connect existing calls that are terminated on each of the servers. To provide the bridgeconnection, a call using a standard outgoing T1 trunk on one of the servers is made through the public switched telephone network (PSTN) to an incoming T1 trunk on the other server. The servers reserve a special directory number for such calls. When a bridge connection is required one of the servers is queried for its special directory number. The other server is then instructed to make a call to that number. When the called server recognizes the incoming call as using its special number, it answers the call. The calling server then outpulses information needed by the called server to associate the bridge connection with the pending action. In this manner, calls terminating on distinct servers can be connected without the need for additionalhardware.

Title: Polymer-coated stent structure
Inventor: LOEFFLER JOSEPH P
IPC: A61F2/86
Filed: 1998-08-10
Granted: 2000-10-31
Abstract: The thickness of a polymer coating applied to the interior surface of a stent precisely is controlled by fitting a mandrel within its interior. Fitment of an exterior mold serves to additionally control the thickness of polymer on the exterior surface of the stent. Alternatively, a pre-formed sheath of polymer is fitted to the interior of the stent, whereby the subsequent application of polymer not only causes the exterior to become coated but also causes the sheath to become adhered to the stent.
