Patent CA-2540757-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BROWN KEVIN JOHN
IPC: A61N5/10
Filed: 2004-10-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de radiochirurgie/radiothérapie optimisé pour répondre aux besoins des neurochirurgiens, notamment pour le traitement de tumeurs dans le cerveau. Ce dispositif combine une bonne pénombre et une bonne précision, une prescription et un fonctionnement simples ainsi qu'une grande fiabilité, et nécessite un support technique minimal. Ce dispositif comprend un support rotatif sur lequel est prévu une monture s'étendant depuis le support vers l'extérieur du plan du cercle, et une source de rayonnement fixée à la monture par un pivot. Le pivot possède un axe qui coupe l'axe de rotation du support, la source de rayonnement étant alignée de manière qu'elle produise un faisceau passant par le point de co-incidence de l'axe de rotation et du pivot. Il sera généralement plus facile de construire cet appareil si le support rotatif est plan, et plus pratique si le support rotatif est en position debout. La rotation du support rotatif est facilitée si cette partie de l'appareil est circulaire. Une orientation particulièrement préférée est celle dans laquelle la source de rayonnement est espacée du support rotatif, afin de lui permettre de pivoter sans salir ce dernier. La monture s'étend donc de préférence transversalement au support. Ainsi, l'axe de pivot est espacée du support rotatif, ce qui permet de produire un espace libre dans lequel la source de rayonnement peut pivoter. Un autre moyen d'exprimer cette préférence est de placer l'axe de pivot hors du plan du support rotatif. Pour simplifier la géométrie du dispositif et l'arithmétique associée, l'axe de pivot est de préférence sensiblement perpendiculaire à l'axe de rotation et la direction du faisceau est perpendiculaire à l'axe de pivot. La source de rayonnement est de préférence un accélérateur linéaire. La sortie de la source de rayonnement est de préférence collimatée de manière qu'elle épouse la forme de la zone à traiter.

Title: Printing blanket construction and method of making
Inventor: FLINT W TORIRAN
IPC: B41N1/04
Filed: 2004-11-10
Abstract: An improved printing blanket construction is provided which includes at least a top ply, a bottom ply, and a non-extensible backing ply. The blanket includes leading and trailing edges which are secured directly to the backing ply, where at least a portion of the leading edge forms a contoured edge, a stair-stepped edge, a beveled edge, or a combination thereof. The printing blanket construction having such a shaped leading edge reduces printing gap, reduces the impact forces on the leading edge of the blanket, and protects the blanket from the penetration of ink, solvents, moisture and the like into the blanket plies during use.

Abstract: A clip for engaging tissue includes a generally annular-shaped body defining a plane and disposed about a central axis extending normal to the plane. The body includes alternating inner and outer curved regions, defining a zigzag pattern about a periphery of the clip. The body is biased towards a planer configuration lying in the plane and deflectable towards a transverse configuration extending out of the plane. Tines extend from the inner curved regions, the tines being oriented towards the central axis in the planar configuration, and parallel to the central axis in the transverse configuration. The tines include primary tines and secondary tines that are shorter than the primary tines. The primary tines may be disposed on opposing inner curved regions and oriented towards one another. The primary tines are configured such that they are offset from the axes of symmetry of the curved regions from which they extend and are connected to the curved regions by curved or linear regions or are connected directly to the curved regions. The primary tines may overlap the body and may be of different lengths.

Title: Reduced degradation of ion-exchange membranes in electrochemical fuel cells
Inventor: YE SIYU
IPC: H01M4/90
Filed: 2004-12-16
Abstract: A significant problem in PEM fuel cell durability is in premature failure of the ion-exchange membrane and in particular by the degradation of the ion-exchange membrane by reactive hydrogen peroxide species. Such degradation can be reduced or eliminated by the presence of an additive in the anode, cathode or ion-exchange membrane. The additive may be a radical scavenger, a membrane cross-linker, a hydrogen peroxide decomposition catalyst and/or a hydrogen peroxide stabilizer. The presence of the additive in the membrane electrode assembly (MEA) may however result in reduced performance of the PEM fuel cell.  Accordingly, it may be desirable to restrict the location of the additive to locations of increased susceptibility to membrane degradation such as the inlet and/or outlet regions of the MEA.

Abstract: A mixer apparatus for use with a vessel centered about a longitudinal axis is disclosed. The mixer has a blade body is formed along a central head axis. The blade body has a first end, a second end spaced from the first end along the head axis, and a passageway extending between the first and second ends. The passageway tapers from the first end to the second end. The outer surface of the blade body defines an inside blade diameter "ID" at the second end and an outside blade diameter "OD" at the first end. The blade body is positioned within and coaxial to the vessel. A scotch yoke, operatively connected to the blade body by a shaft, effects reciprocating longitudinal movement of the blade body through a stroke "S", with a duration "T" for each stroke. Enhanced mixing efficiencies are achieved when the mixer is operated within a set of operational parameters defined by the equation: 80 <= 0.36 x OD2/ID2 x S/T <=  550, when OD, ID and S are expressed in inches, and T is expressed in minutes.

Patent CA-2558542-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALTON JAY RODNEY
IPC: H04B7/06
Filed: 2005-03-03
Abstract: A multi-antenna transmitting entity transmits data to a single- or multi-antenna receiving entity using (1) a steered mode to direct the data transmission toward the receiving entity or (2) a pseudo-random transmit steering (PRTS) mode to randomize the effective channels observed by the data transmission across the subbands. The PRTS mode may be used to achieve transmit diversity or spatial spreading. For transmit diversity, the transmitting entity uses different pseudo-random steering vectors across the subbands but the same steering vector across a packet for each subband. The receiving entity does not need to have knowledge of the pseudo-random steering vectors or perform any special processing. For spatial spreading, the transmitting entity uses different pseudo-random steering vectors across the subbands and different steering vectors across the packet for each subband.  Only the transmitting and receiving entities know the steering vectors used for data transmission.
