Patent CA-2358387-A1 (CA)
Title: Tissue fastening devices and delivery means
Inventor: YEUNG TERESA T
IPC: A61B17/08
Filed: 1999-09-15
Abstract: A fastener (13) and fastener delivery device (73) for guiding, delivering and deploying the fastener (13) into tissue to provide sustained gripping forces and methods of use.  The fastener (13) is curved with a spring-like or shape memory material (15) and gripping elements (14). The fastener (13) is resiliently straightened and loaded into a cartridge (7) within a needle (1). The needle (1) and cartridge (7) both contain a slit (2, 8), and the slits (2, 8) extend to the distal openings (16, 17) of the needle (1) and cartridge (7). When the slits (2, 8) are not aligned, out-of-phase with each other, the fastener (13) remains resiliently straightened in the needle (1). When the slits (2, 8) overlap, in-phase with each other, the fastener (13) resiliently curves and deploys from the slits (2, 8), elastically gripping adjacent tissue. The device (73) is free to be withdrawn, allowing the fastener (13) to slide out from the distal openings (16, 17) of both cartridge (7) and needle (1).

Abstract: Pour la préparation de particules à encapsulation lipidique intégrale d'un agent thérapeutique chargé, on combine une composition lipidique renfermant des vésicules lipidiques préformées, un agent thérapeutique chargé et un agent déstabilisant pour former un mélange de vésicules préformées et d'agent thérapeutique dans un solvant déstabilisant. Ce solvant déstabilisant est capable de déstabiliser la membrane des vésicules lipidiques préformées sans porter atteinte aux vésicules. On fait incuber le mélange ainsi obtenu pendant un laps de temps suffisant pour encapsuler l'agent thérapeutique dans les vésicules lipidiques préformées. Après retrait de l'agent déstabilisant, on obtient des particules d'agent thérapeutique à encapsulation lipidique complète. Les vésicules lipidiques préformées comprennent un lipide chargé dont la charge est opposée à celle de l'agent thérapeutique chargé et un lipide modifié comportant une fraction barrière stérique destinée à réguler l'agrégation.

Title: Method of managing work orders at a well site
Inventor: NEWMAN FREDERIC M
IPC: E21B41/00
Filed: 2002-04-19
Abstract: A of managing work orders that well companies issue to contractors working at remote well sites, involves a wireless communication link between two computers. Work orders specifying work to be done to a well are stored on a home base computer. Using the wireless communication link, the work orders are communicated to a mobile computer at the well site. This allows a contractor to refer to the work order while the work is being performed, and allows the contractor to immediately notify the well company when the job is done. The mobile computer can be transported between well sites by carrying the computer on a service vehicle, which the contractor uses in performing service operations specified in work orders. While the service vehicle is at a well site, other independent contractors can share the same computer, thus creating a central station for collecting and displaying work order related information.
