Patent CA-2459624-A1 (CA)
Title: Energy management system, method and apparatus
Inventor: DILK WAYNE
IPC: F24D11/02
Filed: 2004-02-27
Abstract: An energy management system may include a refrigeration apparatus such as may be used to form an ice rink. Heat rejected from that apparatus may be used to address heating loads elsewhere. The apparatus may include a thermal storage apparatus, such as may be charged with ice, or another phase change material. The refrigeration apparatus may then be run for the purpose of obtaining the rejected heat, with the cooling of the thermal storage material as a by-product of operation to obtain extra rejected heat. The cold reservoir then developed in the thermal storage material may be used subsequently to provide cooling to a different load, at a different time of day. The thermal storage element may be used to provide cooling to a condensor of the refrigeration apparatus, or may be placed in series with a cooling load, such as an ice sheet or refrigerated enclosure. The apparatus may be electronically controlled, may used ammonia as an operating fluid in a vapour cycle system. The vapour cycle system may include a compressor, and may employ a floating head pressure on the compressor.

Abstract: There is a need in the tissue treatment arts of methods for effectively mitigating calcification, reducing calcification and reducing phospholipid content of implanted bioprosthetic tissues. The invention provides an effective protocol for preparing biological tissue for incorporation as a bioprosthetic device. Disclosed herein is the discovery that calcification of biological tissue is mitigated and phospholipid content is reduced by including a step in the pre-implantation protocol whereby the biological tissue is treated with a surfactant and cross linking agent in the absence of a denaturant. Furthermore, the biological tissues prepared under this protocol are well suited for use in bioprosthetic devices.

Abstract: A steerable, tendon-driven endoscope is described herein. The endoscope has an elongated body with a manually or selectively steerable distal portion and a n automatically controlled, segmented proximal portion. The steerable distal portion and the segment of the controllable portion are actuated by at least two tendons. As the endoscope is advanced, the user maneuvers the distal portion, and a motion controller actuates tendons in the segmented proximal portion so that the proximal portion assumes the selected curve of the selectively steerable distal portion. By this method the selected curves are propagated along the endoscope body so that the endoscope largely conforms t o the pathway selected. When the endoscope is withdrawn proximally, the select ed curves can propagate distally along the endoscope body. This allows the endoscope to negotiate tortuous curves along a desired path through or aroun d and between organs within the body.
