Patent CA-2371126-A1 (CA)
Title: Laser clamping assembly and method
Inventor: WALKER DAVID RONALD
IPC: H01S3/08
Filed: 2000-04-20
Abstract: A laser clamping system (10,80,100,130) for a laser medium (13) that include s two heat conductive members (14,16) (one of which is optically transparent) positioned on either side of the laser medium (13). Pressure (using 60,84,106,108) is applied to the conductive members to restrain the laser medium (13) from deforming under pumping conditions to reduce the lensing effect. Thin disc (12) geometry allows the thermal load of laser material to  be much closer to the heat conductive members (14,16) so that heat dissipati on is generally more efficient than that of other geometric configurations (e.g . rod or slab). In disc lasers (12) each part of the laser beam experiences th e same temperature gradient so that there is no lensing effect caused by radia l temperature distribution. It has been discovered that any resulting lensing effect is disc lasers (12) is mainly from the thermo-mechanical deformation of the disc (12) itself. Consequently, a disc laser (12) with clamped boundary conditions using the system as described above reduces the lensing effect an d enables scaling laser power to a much higher level compared to unclamped dis c laser systems. The clamping system and method of the present invention also improves performance in rod and slab type laser medium geometries.

Patent CA-2382369-A1 (CA)
Title: Direct metal fabrication of parts
Inventor: MITCHELL MICHAEL R
IPC: B22F1/10
Filed: 2000-09-20
Abstract: A method of directly fabricating metal parts with surface features only requires first preparing a mold (50) of the desired metal part. A powder blend is poured into the mold (20), which includes a base metal, a lower melting temperature alloy of the base metal, and a polymer binder. The mold containing the powder blend is heated until the polymer binder melts and adheres the metal particles to form a green part (24). The green part is removed from the mold (30) and placed in a crucible, and loose ceramic powder is packed around the part to support it (34). The supported green part is then heated as needed to vaporize the binder and consolidate the part via liquid phase sintering (36).   Once cool, the consolidated part can be machined to meet precise dimensional tolerances, if necessary (40).

Title: An implantable microphone for use with a hearing aid or cochlear prosthesis
Inventor: LUPIN ALAN J
IPC: H04R25/00
Filed: 2001-01-30
Abstract: A totally implantable microphone for use with an implanted hearing aid comprises a cylindrical bio-inert housing having a bio-inert metallic membra ne at the acoustic sensing end and a bio-inert plate containing electrical lead - throughs at the other end. The cylindrical housing is implanted in the posterior wall of the external auditory canal, with the thin auditory canal skin overlaying the microphone membrane surface. Surface features on the housing ossiointegrate it to the auditory canal bone, and a flange on the housing posterior end prevents post-operative migration into the auditory canal. A support plate beneath the membrane limits inward flexing and increases the signal-to-noise ratio. A protruding rim around the membrane perimeter acts to protect the membrane from rupturing during outward flexure . Lithographically formed wires laminated in a thin inert polymer and connecte d to the lead-throughs enable the overall length of the encapsulated microphon e to be very short.
