Patent CA-2383919-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FRIEDMAN GEORGE
IPC: G06F11/34
Filed: 2000-08-24
Abstract: A system for remotely testing middleware of applications in the N-tiered model across a network. The test system contains test code generators, test engines to execute multiple copies of the test code and a data analyzer to analyze and present the results to a human user. The system is able to automatically generate test code to exercise remotely located components of the middleware using information about these components that would otherwise be available to the application under test. Multiple copies of the test code are executed in a synchronized fashion. Execution times of multiple events are recorded and then presented in one of several formats. By use of the system, an application developer can receive test results about components that represent performance bottlenecks or can be made aware of information on deployment properties of individual components that can be used to enhance the performance of the application under test.

Abstract: A hemming machine having a stationary base and defining a work station. A lifting beam is vertically movably mounted to the base at the work station while a motor assembly moves the lifting beam between a raised and a lowered position. Two die cartridges, each having hemming tooling and a nest vertically movably mounted to the die cartridge, are horizontally movable relative to the base by a conveyor assembly. A conveyor motor selectively moves the die cartridges between a position laterally spaced from the work station and the work station. With the die cartridge positioned at the work station, a first clamp releasably secures the nest to the lifting beam while a second clamp assembly releasably secures the die cartridge to the base. With the nest secured to the lifting beam and the die cartridge secured to the base, hemming operations are performed at the work station in the conventional fashion.

Title: Modular assembly of tissue engineered constructs
Inventor: SEFTON MICHAEL V
IPC: A61L27/56
Filed: 2002-06-05
Abstract: A vascularised tissue construct seeded with endothelial cells is disclosed. A modular, scalable method of fabrication of tissue constructs with a uniform cell distribution that can accommodate multiple cell types, and in which the porosity is created after cell incorporation, is disclosed. The construct is based on the porous structure that is created when a column or tube is randomly packed with solid objects, such as cylindrical rods. Cells, such as liver cells, are encapsulated in solid gelatin rods (200 µm diameter, aspect ratio 1:5) on to which if desired endothelial cells, such as human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC), can adhere. The gelatin rods are randomly packed into a larger tube and then coated with HUVEC in one embodiment. The interstitial gaps among the rods form interconnected channels that are lined by the endothelial cells. The resulting endothelial cell lining enables whole blood to percolate around the rods and through the interstitial channels. Sufficient nutrient supply, oxygen supply, and waste removal from the encapsulated cells are provided, through whole blood percolates since the encapsulated cells are close to the 'pseudo-capillaries' formed in the tissue construct.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and systems for net shaped manufacturing using carbon nanotubes. Generally, an automatic control unit i s used to place reaction units in the proper location to produce a component part of carbon nanotubes in a predetermined configuration. The reaction unit s include a carbon vaporization unit, a carbon feed/injection unit and a gas pressure/temperature control isolation unit. The carbon feed/injection unit advantageously operates to inject carbon based materials (e.g., graphite powder, solid graphite or carbon based gas) into a reaction area at a predetermined rate in which the carbon vaporization unit provides energy capable of dissociating carbon atoms from the injected carbon based material  to produce a predetermined concentration of carbon vapor within the reaction  area. The gas pressure/temperature control isolation unit operates to contro l the pressure and temperature of the reaction area to promote the growth of carbon nanotubes.

Abstract: This invention relates to a self-forming orthopedic implant (10, 40, 60A/B, 100, 140, 200, 250, 280 and 330). The implant is formed a shape memory polymer. The implant can be provided in an original configuration selected to facilitate orthopedic treatment of bone defects, fixation of bone fragments and fractures, or selected to induce bone structures to conform to a desired anatomical configuration. Non-limiting examples of preferred configurations include bone spacers or bone plates, connective tissue replacements (i.e., tendons, ligaments, and/or cartilage). In preferred forms, the implant is deformed to an alternative configuration prior to implantation. Upon application of selected stimuli, for example, heating the implant to a temperature where the shape memory polymeric material becomes elastic induces the implant to revert to its original configuration. In use, when the implant is subjected to the selected stimuli, it conforms to a selected bone tissue or alternatively conforms to a configuration that urgers bone structures into a desired alignment and/or configuration. When used to replace connective tissues, the implant exhibits a tensile strengh to allow the adjacent bone structure to articulate, yet provides sufficient force to urge the bone structures into a desired position and alignment.
