Title: Mobile system for generating electricity from water currents
Inventor: PETROUNEVITCH EDOUARD
IPC: F03B17/06
Filed: 2008-04-10
Abstract: A mobile modular system for producing electricity from water currents is disclosed. Each module contains a submersible water current energy converter and a self-adjusting buoyant mooring mechanism. A converter consists of a pair of contra-rotating vertical axis wing-type turbines, connected to electrical generators, and a water flow accelerator. Each turbine comprises a hub, which is mounted via bearings to the protecting housing, a plurality of radial wings, and an arrangement of paddles with mutually perpendicularly oriented floatable and sinkable blades. The hub and wings are filled with a buoyant material to eliminate the vertical load applied to axis bearings. The system module is capable of self-adjusting to the optimal position in a river current vertically and horizontally. It uses a simple anchoring means and can be easily relocated. An array of modules may be connected to an underwater transmission line to create a robust and cost-effective power generation system.

Title: Artificial intervertebral disc having a captured ball and socket joint
Inventor: TATAR STEPHEN
IPC: A61F2/02
Filed: 2003-09-16
Abstract: An artificial disc having a pair of opposing baseplates, for seating against opposing vertebral bone surfaces, separated by a ball and socket joint that includes a ball compression locked to a post extending from one of the baseplates. The ball is captured within a curvate socket formed in a peak of a convex structure attached to the other of the baseplates. The socket is formed by opposing curvate surfaces, one on the convex structure and one on the other of the baseplates. While the ball angulates freely in the socket, the rotation of the ball in the socket has a limited range due to interference between a protrusion on the convex structure that extends into the socket and a curvate recess on the ball. The ball and socket joint therefore permits the baseplates to rotate relative to one another through a limited range and also angulate relative to one another.

Patent CA-2666242-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YOW GREGORY D
IPC: A61J1/20
Filed: 2007-10-16
Abstract: A vented vial adapter has a filter attached to a vent arm that includes at least two filter media for suppressing aerosolized medicaments from leaving the vial and suppressing bacteria and other contaminants from entering the vial during reconstitution activities of the medication in the vial. The filter media allows the passage of air to the atmosphere outside the vial for pressure equalization. In another aspect, a third filter medium is used in the vent of the adapter to allow gas to pass in either direction through it, but prevents bacteria and particulate matter in the atmosphere from reaching the second filter device. A first filter is hydrophobic and prevents non-dispersed liquid from reaching the second filter, while conducting liquid dispersed in gas. The second filter absorbs the liquid dispersed in gas.
