Patent CA-2460477-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FLEMING WALLACE E
IPC: E04B1/80
Filed: 2004-04-08
Abstract: This insulating building panel encloses a vacuum between two parallel plates that are separated at their edges by a post frame. Within the vacuum chamber, a support structure prevents implosion of the panel due to suction pressure.        Glass plated vacuum panels form windows and steel plated panels cover other exterior surfaces, but materials. used are not restricted to those mentioned.        When vacuum is applied, the plates engage the past frame in an airtight manner with no other means of attachment between them except at an anchor point in each steel plated panel where plates are held to their post frames in order to maintain their relative positions to each other.        When the weather exposed plane of a steel plated panel expands or contracts away from the anchor point in relation to the post frame due to fluctuating outside temperatures, the plate slides laterally over the post frame without obstruction and without forcing an accompanying movement of the post frame. Warping, which would otherwise render the panel impractical, is thereby eliminated.        Stress upon support structures in steel plated panels due to thermally induced movement of weather exposed plates is also eliminated, spacers between plates being spheres that roll with such movement.
Patent CA-2461906-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CHANDRKRACHANG SUWALEE
IPC: C08B37/08
Filed: 2002-09-25
Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for producing modified oligomers based on polysaccharides containing attached amino groups. Said oligomers, consisting of particles of a few nanometres, have a negligible molar mass distribution and the characteristic that they are not identified as foreign substances by vegetable, animal and human cells. The aim of the invention is to find a way of carefully separating the polysaccharides at th e oxygen bridges, without causing the amino groups to react. Surprisingly, it was determined that the electrophysical bonding forces of the oxygen bridges are less resistant to mechanical stress than the ring compounds and that the y are torn off under certain shear forces. The reaction is controlled in containers by the action of pressure, temperature, shear forces, time and ozone concentration. The dried polysaccharides with attached amino groups ar e cationically charged. The oligomers attach themselves to a discharge element with an opposite pole and are repelled by pole reversal for removal.

Patent CA-2476103-A1 (CA)
Title: Luminary product
Inventor: MICELE ANTHONY G JR
IPC: A61L9/03
Filed: 2004-07-30
Abstract: A decorated luminary product includes a candle holder containing a candle, wherein at least one of the inner surface and the outer surface of the candle holder has a hammered texture such that light passing through the candle holder varies substantially as a result of variation of refraction of the light. A decorative web of a heat-shrinkable polymer may be heat shrunk to conform to the outer surface of the candle holder. The web is decorated with an ink or pigmentation to cooperate with light and/or heat emitted by burning the candle, so as to provide a pleasing visual effect when the candle is burned, while the hammered texture of the candle holder causes variations in the refraction of light emitted from the candle, causing further visual effects. The refraction of light caused by the hammered texture of the candle holder also provides aesthetically pleasing effects when the candle is unlit, due to variations in the image on the web resulting from variation in the light observed passing through the candle holder.

Title: Central venous catheter having a soft tip and fiber optics
Inventor: HIGGINS MICHAEL
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2003-07-03
Abstract: A multiple lumen catheter having a soft, tapered multiple lumen distal tip for insertion into a body vessel. At least one medical implement lumen is used for placement or positioning of a biomedical sensor or other medical implement.  The tip may be made of a softer material than the catheter body, or can be configured with thinner walls or a higher air-to-material ratio cross-section.  Various geometrical configurations and combinations of materials can be used to decrease the resistance of the tip to an applied load. One particular application for the catheter of the present invention is as a central venous catheter equipped with fibers for measuring oximetry. The fibers extend to the distal end of the tip and are preferably secured therein with minimal adhesive so as to limit the stiffness added to the tip.
