Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif d'abrasion permettant d'administrer une substance dans la peau par l'intermédiaire d'un procédé d'abrasion. Ledit dispositif comprend un logement conçu pour être pressé contre la peau sur un site d'administration souhaité, une tête d'applicateur placée dans une ouverture supérieure du logement et pouvant se déplacer à travers une ouverture inférieure du logement afin d'abraser le site d'administration de façon à former au moins un sillon, et une surface d'abrasion fixée à la tête d'applicateur, le logement demeurant ainsi ferme et fixe sur le site d'administration, la structure du logement et la tête d'applicateur permettant de contrôler les paramètres du procédé d'abrasion. En particulier, la force ou la pression appliquée sur la surface d'abrasion, la vitesse à laquelle la surface d'abrasion se déplace sur la peau et le nombre de passages latéraux de la surface d'abrasion sur la peau sont contrôlés de sorte que le dispositif d'abrasion permet de former un sillon présentant une longueur de profondeur sensiblement égale, ce qui permet d'obtenir des résultats reproductibles, même si des techniciens différents appliquent le dispositif d'abrasion contre la peau d'un patient.

Patent CA-2507901-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FERRARI RICARDO J
IPC: G06V10/30
Filed: 2005-05-18
Abstract: This invention relates to a method for de-noising digital radiographic images based upon a wavelet-domain Hidden Markov Tree (HMT) model. The method uses the Anscombe's transformation to adjust the original image to a Gaussian noise model. The image is then decomposed in different sub-bands of frequency and orientation responses using a dual-tree complex wavelet transform, and the HMT is used to model the marginal distribution of the wavelet coefficients. Two different methods were used to denoise the wavelet coefficients. Finally, the modified wavelet coefficients are transformed back into the original domain to get the de-noised image.

Title: Wireless transfer of data
Inventor: PEKKA NAULA
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2004-03-04
Abstract: The invention relates to a method of initiating a wireless transfer of data between two electronic devices. In order to make the initiation particularly user friendly, it is proposed that a concept called "hugging" is employed. A  hugging state between two electronic devices is assumed to be given if a first electronic device and a second electronic device are determined to undergo a specific motion pattern relative to each other while being at least in close vicinity to each other. Only in case such a hugging state is detected at a first device, a data transfer channel is opened for transferring data between the first device and some other device, e.g. the second device. The invention relates equally to a corresponding device and to a software program product with a corresponding software code.

Title: Manchon d'etancheite
Inventor: CHEREWYK BORIS BRUCE P
IPC: E21B33/03
Filed: 2005-11-10
Abstract: Un manchon d'étanchéité est présenté pour étanchéiser un espace annulaire dans un tuyau de puits. Le manchon d'étanchéité comprend généralement un corps tubulaire et un dispositif d'étanchéité positionné autour du corps tubulaire et déplaçable axialement par rapport au corps tubulaire. Une butée empêche le dispositif d'étanchéité de faire extrusion dans l'espace annulaire. Le dispositif d'étanchéité comprend un ou plusieurs anneaux élastomériques ayant une rainure circonférentielle formée dans une face de foration descendante. Un activateur déplaçable axialement, préférablement une coupelle d'étanchéité, engage le dispositif d'anneau d'étanchéité à entraîner au moins une portion d'expansion des anneaux d'étanchéité à s'étendre radialement vers l'extérieur pour étanchéiser l'espace annulaire et le dispositif d'anneau d'étanchéité à s'appuyer sur la butée de foration ascendante. Les anneaux d'étanchéité sont comprimés axialement entre la butée de foration ascendante et l'activateur pour augmenter l'expansion des anneaux d'étanchéité. Préférablement, la butée de foration ascendante est concave pour repousser les anneaux d'étanchéité du tuyau de puits et ainsi éviter une extrusion accrue. Puisque les anneaux d'étanchéité ne sont pas extrudés au-delà de la butée de foration ascendante ou autrement déformés de manière permanente, le manchon d'étanchéité est réutilisable et, de ce fait, une solution rentable.
