Title: Improved laryngoscope blade
Inventor: SCHNEIDER CARY N
IPC: A61B1/267
Filed: 1999-03-26
Abstract: This invention is a laryngoscope blade (10) for use with a conventional laryngoscope handle (12), and conventional means (14) for illumination. The improvements to the blade (10) include a small reverse curve at the tip (32) of the blade to better visualize the depth of insertion of the blade; include a greater width of the portion of the blade proximal (22a) to the handle to provide improved means for controlling the tongue; and include a more gradual curvature (20) of the blade to better conform to the shape of the airway opening when the patient is properly positioned for laryngoscopy. The blade may also include a vertical wall (50) which may be thickened to serve as a bite block; raised areas (40) to define grooves on the surface (26) of the blade for insertion of an endotracheal tube, and/or a suction catheter.

IPC: A41B13/10
Filed: 1999-03-02
Abstract: A bib (20) having a predisposition for folding or bending to conform to the wearer. The predisposition is provided by slits, notches (200) or other features which selectively reduce the cross sectional area of the bib or otherwise provide a hinge line. Preferably, the slits or notches (200) are symmetric relative to the longitudinal centerline of the bib. The reduced cross section may extend essentially continuously across the lateral width of the bib. If desired, the hinge lines may converge as the bottom edge of the bib is approached. Preferably, the hinge lines converge at a common point which intercepts both the longitudinal centerline and the bottom edge of the bib.

Patent CA-2330006-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COLEMAN RICHARD
IPC: A61B18/02
Filed: 1999-04-30
Abstract: A cryosurgical catheter probe and method of operation are described. The probe comprises a Joule Thompson probe tip (20) joined to a catheter (10) which includes an inner supply conduit (12) and an outer exhaust conduit (14). A pump (26) is coupled to the downstream end of the exhaust conduit (14) to draw exhaust cryogen through the exhaust conduit. The pump (26) produces a negative pressure at the pump sufficiently great to produce a negative pressure in the exhaust path adjacent to the tip (20). The negative pressure reduces the chances of a leak, and also reduces the chances of cryogen escaping from the catheter into the patient's blood vessel if a leak does occur.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé pour commander un ascenseur hydraulique dont la cabine (1) peut être déplacée au moyen d'un dispositif d'entraînement hydraulique constitué d'un piston de levage (2) et d'un cylindre de levage (3), cela par le fait que de l'huile hydraulique peut être introduite dans le dispositif d'entraînement hydraulique (2, 3) ou évacuée de celui-ci par l'intermédiaire d'une conduite de cylindre (4), au moyen d'une pompe (10) et avec la coopération d'au moins une unité soupape de commande (5, 15), par exemple d'une première unité soupape de commande (5) et, éventuellement, d'une seconde unité soupape de commande (15). Le flux d'huile hydraulique peut être contrôlé par des moyens de mesure et le fonctionnement de l'ascenseur peut être commandé et régulé par un appareil de commande (20) servant à la mise en oeuvre du procédé. Selon l'invention, lorsque la cabine (1) est à l'arrêt, la charge s'exerçant sur celle-ci est déterminée par un capteur de pression de charge (18) qui mesure la pression P¿Z? régnant dans la conduite de cylindre (4). Lors du mouvement ascendant de la cabine (1) la pression P¿Z? régnant dans la conduite de cylindre (4) est, de préférence, régulée en permanence, par modification de la commande de la seconde unité soupape de commande (15), cela de telle sorte que le déplacement de la cabine (1) peut être commandé avec une très grande finesse, et lors du mouvement descendant de la cabine, la chute de la pression P¿Z? dans la conduite de cylindre (4) est régulée par modification de la commande de la première unité soupape de commande (5), cela de telle sorte que le déplacement de la cabine (1) peut être commandé de façon très fine également pendant ce mouvement descendant. L'invention concerne également un dispositif servant à la mise en oeuvre de ce procédé. Elle trouve des applications dans les ascenseurs hydrauliques installés dans des immeubles d'habitation et industriels.

Title: Electronic paper coupon processing system
Inventor: SHOEMAKE RANDALL GENE
IPC: G06V30/224
Filed: 2001-12-07
Abstract: A paper coupon processing system involves accessing transaction information generated during a product purchase in which a paper coupon was redeemed by the product seller. The transaction information is preferably analyzed only after the transaction has been completed. The coupon identifier associated with the paper coupon is matched with a list of validating product identifiers. The list includes one or more validating product identifiers that validate redemption of the coupon. The transaction information and the validating product identifier list are compared to determine whether any of the product identifiers for the purchased products correspond with one of the validating product identifiers. Such correspondence verifies that the product necessary to validate redemption of the coupon was purchased, and the coupon issuer is notified, preferably by an EDI report along with ACH data, that the seller validly redeemed the coupon. A reimbursement payment, preferably in the form of a wire transfer, is then made to the seller.

Patent CA-2372539-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DILMAN MARK
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2002-02-18
Abstract: A technique for managing network elements significantly reduces the amount of monitoring related traffic by using a combination of aperiodic polling and asynchronous event reporting. A global resource (e.g., a network of interconnected nodes or resources) is partitioned into a plurality of separate nodes, giving a fixed resource budget to each of the nodes. When any of the nodes exceeds its budget, based upon local monitoring at that node, the node triggers a report, typically sending a message to a central manager. In response, the central manager then and only then issues a global poll of all (or substantially all) of the nodes in the network. A rate based technique can also be used to monitor resource usage at the nodes, and send a message to a central monitoring location only when the rate at which the value of a local variable changes is too high.
