Patent CA-2375658-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TEITSSON ELIZABETH
IPC: A41B11/14
Filed: 2002-03-08
Abstract: Concise Summary: I call this invention the "Toe-free" Pantyhose. And it is essentially, just that. Rather than having a reinforced toe area, there is a reinforced stripe that is slipped between an individuals big toe and the toe next to it. Just as one would start by putting on a pair of panty hose from their toes, so would this pair. However, the reinforced section that holds and properly secures the pantyhose is placed between the first two toes.  Therefore, the entire foot is covered, except the toes.      Technical Field: The material used would vary. It may be the same nylon composition that we regularly see with pantyhose or it may be thicker and follow the material used in tights. In addition, if one decides to use this concept and extend it to the domain of tights, then once again the material would have to adapt to the change. For example, a ballerina or people in the dance profession may prefer to where such a design. In saying that, I think it is important to mention that I would like to paten the entire concept of toe-free leg wear. Potential Materials (may include): Nylon, Spandex, Cotton, Lycra, and/or Denier. It should also be mentioned that some of the above listed material can be double covered, and therefore, providing better support in the required areas.

Title: Folding spring for a catheter balloon
Inventor: VIGIL DENNIS M
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2002-03-22
Abstract: A device for folding a balloon of a balloon catheter during balloon deflation includes a band and a plurality of elongated fingers that are attached to the band. The band is formed with a tab and a notch and the length of the band corresponds to the diameter of the catheter tube. The band is folded into an annulus to interlock the tab with the notch. The annulus is attached to the catheter tube of the balloon catheter with the fingers extending over the balloon in a substantially same axial direction. In operation, the fingers are moveable between an unstressed configuration, when the balloon is deflated, and a stressed configuration, when the balloon is inflated. In a stressed configuration, the fingers urge against the balloon and are biased toward the stressed configuration to return to an unstressed configuration.

Title: Radious conveyor belt with structure for the prevention of pinched fingers
Inventor: GULDENFELS DIETER
IPC: B65G15/32
Filed: 2002-04-04
Abstract: A modular conveyor belt formed of rows of belt modules pivotally interlinked by transverse pivot rods and specially adapted for following a curved conveyor path. The modules include a top, product conveying surface and a bottom, sprocket-driven surface. The belt modules have a plurality of first link ends disposed in the direction of travel of the conveyor belt and a plurality of second link ends disposed in the opposite direction. Transverse holes in the link ends are aligned to accommodate a pivot rod. When the link ends of the consecutive rows of side by side modules are intercalated, the pivot rod serves as a hinge pin in a hinged joint between consecutive interlinked rows. To permit the belt to flex sidewise, the openings in the first link ends are slotted longitudinally in the direction of belt travel. In order to prevent fingers from penetrating the grid, the belt modules have a cross-rib with an extended portion in the longitudinal direction designed so as to allow the link ends to undercut the cross-rib when collapsing and to reduce the gap between adjacent modules.

Patent CA-2384019-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SHIELDS WILLIAM S
IPC: A63B69/00
Filed: 2002-05-07
Abstract: Anyone who has watched a child, or an adult for that matter, make his/her first tries to hit a pitched ball, will have noticed that the swings are mainly high. Commonly, not enough allowance has been made, if any, for the speed at which the ball is falling, let alone the steady rate at which that speed is increasing. The present invention is a mechanical aid to help would-be batters practise learning that skill, by delivering a series of falling balls to them at 5 to 7 second intervals, so they can practise hitting them with a bat. The method assumes that this skill, once mastered, will transfer .over into that of swinging at a pitched ball, which has, excerpt for aerodynamic effects, exactly the same vertical component of motion. The invented device, once initialized, is powered solely by gravity, and can be used without modification with standard softballs, junior softballs, or standard baseballs (hardballs).

Abstract: Selon l'invention, en se fondant sur des d'études conduites sur des patients, on a trouvé un haut degré de corrélation entre le HRV (variabilité du rythme cardiaque) et le VO2¿max? (fixation maximale de l'oxygène), c'est-à-dire la capacité d'exercice du patient. Il en résulte un protocole de traitement des patients souffrant de défaillances cardiaques. Selon ce protocole, il est prévu de stimuler le coeur du patient à l'aide d'un stimulateur cardiaque programmé pour fonctionner selon un premier mode pendant une période de temps prédéterminée et pour collecter des données à partir desquelles un indice HVR est établi. Par la suite, le mode est modifié et les étapes sont répétées jusqu'à ce que tous les modes possibles aient été utilisés. Le stimulateur cardiaque est ensuite programmé afin de fonctionner dans le mode associé à l'indice HVR le plus élevé. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le procédé selon la présente invention peut être appliqué à des changements de pharmacothérapie ou, à la place d'une thérapie par stimulation ou en association avec. Le relevé de l'indice HRV calculé selon le procédé décrit ci-dessus permet d'évaluer l'efficacité d'un changement dans la thérapie pour la capacité d'exercice d'un patient.
