Patent CA-2467868-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHIPPLE ROBERT Z JR
IPC: H05B6/72
Filed: 2004-05-20
Abstract: A microwave delivery system for a cooking appliance having a cooking chamber includes a toroidal-shaped waveguide, a magnetron; a tubular feed member interconnecting the magnetron with the toroidal-shaped wave guide and a field flux generator positioned about the tubular feed member. The flux field generator shifts a microwave energy field produced by the magnetron in the tubular feed member. The shifted microwave field focuses high energy standing waves that are directed into the toroidal-shaped wave guide and, ultimately, the cooking chamber.     The field flux generator produces either magnetic or electrical fields and is driven by a pulsed DC current, a rectified AC current or a pure AC signal energy source.

Title: Diagnostic whole blood and plasma apparatus
Inventor: SAMSOONDAR JAMES
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 2005-05-13
Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide a single apparatus that is suitable for extracting plasma from whole blood using a flow-through filtration~ chamber, and measuring the plasma and/or the whole blood using both spectroscopy and biosensors. Once the whole blood is drawn into the apparatus by capillary action, or the whole blood is injected into the apparatus, a rapid plasma separation occurs, and the apparatus can be inserted into a slot in a diagnostic measurement instrument for rapid plasma and/or blood analysis. Because the apparatus is small and no pretreatment of the fluid is necessary, the diagnostic measurement instrument may be in the form of an inexpensive instrument, which could be used at the site of patient~ care.
