Patent CA-2399828-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUYAVA CHARLES C
IPC: A61L27/34
Filed: 2001-03-01
Abstract: A penile prosthesis beneficially includes components coated with parylene in order to increase product life and reduce wear. In particular, components of the inflatable cylinder benefits from having been coated with parylene. The parylene-coated cylinder components are resistant to wear generated by pinching of the cylinder when the cylinder is in a flaccid state. The parylene-coated cylinder may be formed by masking a tube of silicone (or other appropriate material) and vapor coating the silicone tube with parylene. Further, where a double walled cylinder is used, each of two tubes making up the double wall cylinder can have their surfaces coated with parylene, thus increasing cylinder life and avoiding wear.
Patent CA-2401929-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PUCHALSKI IONE G
IPC: A42B3/32

Abstract: A helmet construction for protecting a user's head, and the brain within the cranium from impact forces, includes a shell contoured to the shape of the user's head, with cushioning along at least part of the shell interior and a chinstrap. The shell consists of three (or more) discrete panels that are physically and firmly coupled together providing rigid protection under most circumstances, but upon impact the panels move relative to one another, but not relative to the user's head, thereby permitting impact forces to be dissipated and/or redirected away from the cranium and brain within. Upon impact to the helmet, there are sequential stages of movement of the panels relative to each other, these movements initially being recoverable, but with sufficient vector forces the helmet undergoes structural changes in a pre- determined fashion, so that the recoverable and permanent movements cumulatively provide a protective 'crumple zone' or 'shear zone'. The first two stages of protection arise from the design of the fasteners that have the ability to invaginate and collapse within themselves, and their design having a 45 degree angle, which will allow movement of a region of connected panels to translate along the fastener shaft. Both of these movements will be recoverable and provide a 'functional crumple zone'. The final stage of protection arises from the braking function of the pins, as they are forced from one aperture through to the next, the direction and extent of which is determined by the impact force and direction. This final level of panel movement and protection is not recoverable and thus provides a 'structural crumple zone'. Finally the fastener size and thickness, together with the thickness of webbing and distance between apertures, functions to provide varying degrees of resistance to impact forces, thus making the helmet design suitable for activities with different levels of impact speed and risk potential.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting the maximum rolling distance in degraded mode, without substantial rolling deterioration, of a mounted assembly (9) comprising a rim with a safety support and tyre mounted thereon. The inventive method consists in rolling the mounted assembly (9) at reduced or zero inflation pressure or rolling said rim-mounted support over at least one rolling surface (21) from one instant t¿0?, under a determined load and at a constant speed V, in such a way that the centre (C) of the rim is a more or less invariant point during the rolling, following the variation of variable R, which is representative of the radial deflection of the support as a function of rolling time t. The inventive method also consists in: (i) determining a value R¿1? that variable R reaches at the end of a predetermined stabilisation time t¿1? such that the variation direction of variable R is representative of a radial deflection of the support that increases globally after time t¿1?; (ii) determining a critical rolling time t¿2? (t¿2? > t¿1?) at the end of which variable R reaches a critical value R¿2? such as R¿2?=R¿1?+.DELTA.R, .DELTA.R being a representative value of a critical increase in the deflection of the support; and (iii) making a distance d¿2? correspond to said rolling time t¿2? with d¿2?=V.(t¿2?-t¿0?), said distance representing a prediction of said maximum rolling distance.
