Patent CA-2387271-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHOI MIN-JO
IPC: A47L9/16
Filed: 2002-05-23
Abstract: A cyclone dust-collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner capable of improving the dust-collecting function of the vacuum cleaner by preventing filth, which has not been separated from the air current at the stage of a whirling air current, from being flown to a vacuum-generating device of the vacuum cleaner. The cyclone dust-collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner comprises a cyclone body for separating filth from drawn air through an air-suction passage and discharging the cleaned air through an air-discharging passage, a filth backflow preventing member that shifts the advancing direction of the filth included in the air, which flows to the air-discharging passage, to a whirling air current that whirls along an inner side of the cyclone body.

Filed: 2002-05-23
Abstract: A grill assembly for a cyclone dust collecting apparatus for a vacuum cleaner capable of improving the capability of dust collection of the vacuum cleaner by reducing the amount of the filth drawn into a filter protecting the vacuum-generating. The grill assembly is disposed at an upper part of an air discharging passage of the cyclone body that generates a whirling air current within the air drawn thereinto and separates filth from the whirling air by the centrifugal forces developed in the whirling air current. The grill assembly comprises a grill body, and a plurality of blades formed at a predetermined separation providing a passage along an outer circumference of the grill body. The passage is at an acute angle with the flow direction of the whirling air current, and each blade includes a protrusion member protruding outwardly from the outer circumference of the grill body.

Abstract: A delivery system and device for re-lining bodily vessels. A stent (22) is attached to a distal end of a tubular lining (20) made of biocompatible material and loaded into a hollow atraumatic tip (32). A semi-rigid shaft (3 0) connects the atraumatic tip to a stopper (36) and runs through the center of  the tubular lining (20). The proximal end of the tubular lining (20) is attached to a sliding hub (28). Optionally, a balloon (34) is positioned nea r the stent in fluid communication with the shaft. The assembled device is introduced into a bodily vessel (40) following an endarterectomy or atherectomy procedure. The atraumatic tip (32) is delivered to a pre- determined location and upon reaching that destination, the stent (22) is released from the tip (32) to expand against the vessel wall. If a balloon (34) is utilized, it is inflated to ensure that the stent (22) is fully deployed within the vessel. The balloon (34) is then deflated and the tip (3 2) and shaft (30) are pulled through the expanded stent (22) and tubular lining  (20). The sliding hub (28) is cut off of the tubular lining and the proximal  anastomosis is completed.

Title: Markup language and object model for vector graphics
Inventor: GALLO KEVIN T
IPC: G06T11/20
Filed: 2003-05-12
Abstract: An element object model and a vector graphics markup language for using that element object model in a manner that allows program code developers to consistently interface with a scene graph data structure to produce graphics. The vector graphics element object model generally corresponds to shape elements and other elements including image and video elements that correlate with a scene graph object model of the scene graph. Markup may be parsed into data including elements in an element tree that is translated into the objects of a scene graph data structure. Other markup may be translated directly into data and calls that create the scene graph objects. The markup language provides distinct ways to describe an element, including a simple string format or complex property syntax, which may be named, enabling reuse in other locations in the markup.

Abstract: An applicator and stimulator device comprises a flexible sleeve closed at one end and having a one or more indented cells in its outer wall and adapted to accomodate a human finger within the sleeve. In order to assist application of fluids it may have one or more cells associated with the outer wall which contain fluid whcih is retained by a seal. The seal is openable or rupturable when pressure is applied across the wall or the wall is in contact with an environment that weakens the seal. The sleeve is formed from an elastic material such as natural or a synthetic rubber such as a highly plasticised PVC resin. The cells associated with the outer wall are formed by creating depressions in the wall during moulding of the device. In its unflexed state the body of the sleeve is substantially cylindrical and the cells are preferably formed on a portion of the sleeve surface near to the closed end sustaining and angle of about 90 degrees over the surface measured from the axis of the cylinder. The cells may contain a lubricant, a pharmacologically active compound or a combination of such substances. The preferred pharmacologically active compound is a vasoactive compound such as vasodilator alone or in admixture with one or more adjuvants to ensure consistency and retention when applied to tissue. At least part of the periphery of the open end of the sleeve may carry a sealed channel filled with a lubricant that is released when the seal is ruptured.
