Patent CA-2540143-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DOUBLER ROBERT L
IPC: A61B17/88
Filed: 2004-09-24
Abstract: An adjustable spinal fixation system (10) is composed of a collection of anchoring assemblies (12) attached, via a variety of connectors (14), to spine-stabilizing rods (16). The anchoring assemblies (12) include a linking member (22) attached in a ball-and-socket fashion to a bone-engaging member that is adapted to engage a spinal bone of a patient. The linking member (22) joins one of the included connectors (14) to an associated bone-engaging member. The connectors (14) are selectively attached to one of the stabilizing rods (16).  The anchoring assemblies (12) each include a support collar (18) and a split retention ring (24) that cooperate to allow adjustment of the bone-engaging member and corresponding connector during surgery. When surgery is complete, a linear engaging fastener (100) cooperates with the support collar (18) and split retention ring (24) to maintain the relative position of the entire fixation system (10), preventing unwanted movement-between the system components.

Title: Method and plant for the introduction of a liquid into a molten mass under pressure
Inventor: BELLI SERGIO
IPC: B29C48/06
Filed: 2003-10-31
Abstract: A method and plant for the introduction of a liquid into a molten mass under pressure are described. Such a method and such a plant are particularly but not exclusively suitable for the formation of a coating layer on a cable element comprising at least one conductor, said layer comprising an extruded thermoplastic polymer forming a continuous phase incorporating a dielectric liquid, and are useful, for example in the production of an electric cable for the transportation and/or distribution of electrical power. The method comprises the steps of bringing the liquid to a predetermined pressure greater than the pressure of the molten mass; feeding the liquid into a plurality of storage tanks; and injecting the liquid into the molten mass at an injection pressure equal to the above-mentioned predetermined pressure by means of a plurality of injectors in respective fluid communication with the plurality of storage tanks. Advantageously, this allows to accomplish a substantial continuity of delivery of the liquid in a technologically simple way and at low costs, while ensuring a dispersion as uniform as possible of the liquid within the molten mass.

Abstract: Medical devices, and in particular implantable medical devices, may be coated to minimize or substantially eliminate a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. The medical devices may be coated with any number of biocompatible materials. Therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may be mixed with the biocompatible materials and affixed to at least a portion of the medical device. These therapeutic drugs, agents or compounds may also further reduce a biological organism's reaction to the introduction of the medical device to the organism. In addition, these therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds may be utilized to promote healing, including the formation of blood clots. The drugs, agents, and/or compounds may also be utilized to treat specific diseases, including vulnerable plaque. Therapeutic agents may also be delivered to the region of a disease site. In regional delivery, liquid formulations may be desirable to increase the efficacy and deliverability of the particular drug. Also, the devices may be modified to promote endothelialization. Various materials and coating methodologies may be utilized to maintain the drugs, agents or compounds on the medical device until delivered and positioned. In addition, the devices utilized to deliver the implantable medical devices may be modified to reduce the potential for damaging the implantable medical device during deployment.      Medical devices include stents, grafts, anastomotic devices, perivascular wraps, sutures and staples. In addition, various polymer combinations may be utilized to control the elution rates of the therapeutic drugs, agents and/or compounds from the implantable medical devices.

Title: A method for reducing interface load of home subscriber server
Inventor: WU YAJUAN
IPC: H04L29/06
Filed: 2005-01-06
Abstract: The present invention provides a method for reducing interface load of Home Subscriber Server. After receiving request information from S-CSCF that requests to save name information of the S-CSCF and requests for user subscribing information, HSS first saves name information of the S-CSCF  included in the information, then performs a query according to user identification in the information, and returns respond information including user subscribing information back to the S-CSCF directly. The present invention simplifies the steps of querying user subscribing information, optimizes service flow, and reduces interface load of the HSS. In addition, After receiving query request information from the I-CSCF, HSS returns respond information including S-CSCF name and/or information of S-CSCF ability set that can support the strictest service-subscribing requirement of the user to the I-CSCF, further reducing the interface load of HSS. The present invention has no effect on existing network structure and service implementation, and needs not to modify existing interface specification, therefore having good compatibility and expandability.
