Patent CA-2334620-C (CA)
Inventor: BURROWS KENNETH
IPC: G06K9/00
Filed: 1999-06-08
Granted: 2009-05-19
Abstract: A device generating images described by contact, in which the contact itself closes an open circuit to generate radiation in a pattern corresponding to the contact. The resulting irradiated image corresponds directly to the contact pattern energizing the radiation. In a preferred embodiment enabled by an electroluminescent system without a back electrode, a fingerprint is disposed to close the open circuit by making contact and thereby serving as a "temporary" back electrode. The electroluminescent then energizes in a pattern corresponding to the contact (i.e. the fingerprint) to emit a high-resolution image of visible light with high fidelity to the contact. This visible light image may then be directed on to a photosensitive array standard in the art suitable for pixelation and conversion into an electrical signal representative of the image. This signal is available for computerized storage, analysis, processing and comparison.
Patent CA-2335030-C (CA)
Title: Medical infusion device with a source of controlled compliance
Inventor: LORD PETER C
IPC: A61K9/22
Filed: 1999-06-18
Granted: 2007-01-09
Abstract: Embodiments of medical infusion pumps are provided that include structural elements for providing sources of compliance within a fluid path within the pump. Some preferred embodiments provide implantable infusion pumps with compliance positioned between an exit port of a pumping mechanism and an outlet (e.g. an opening in a catheter) of the infusion pump. Other embodiments provide compliance in fluid path in proximity to entrance port of the pumping mechanism. Insertion of compliance in a flow path that is down stream of the pumping mechanism may aid in minimizing negative effects associated with attempting to force fluid through a restricted flow path that is further down-stream, such as that offered by a catheter or other outlet component. Insertion of compliance before the pumping mechanism may aid in reducing negative effects associated with an up stream restricted flow path, such as that which might be offered by a rigid filter located between the reservoir and the pumping mechanism. Several structural components, assemblies, or configurations may be used as sources of compliance. For example, compressible structures (e.g. pillows, drums) are used within a aide port of the infusion pump. The compressible structures may quickly distort to accommodate for a large impulse of fluid into the flow path that cannot otherwise be readily dealt with. The compression, in turn, results in a restoring force being exerted that returns the structure substantially to its original volume so as to slowly force fluid from the flow path.

Abstract: A high pressure air supply duct is terminated by a termination receptacle defining a cylindrical housing with an inlet pipe connected to the duct and generally at right angles to the axis. The housing has one end closed and a mounting flange member at the open end for attachment of the housing to a mounting surface. A generally cylindrical damper sleeve has an open discharge end connected to a vent plate and an insertion portion extending to the bottom of the housing for receiving the air therefrom. The vent plate has a plate portion with a central perforated discharge area which is perforated for the passage of air therethrough and a peripheral surrounding flange and can be rotated about the axis of the housing to rotate the damper sleeve. The damper sleeve has a projecting notch engaging into a slot in the housing to hold it in place. The bottom end of the sleeve is smoothly curved to guide the air to turn from the smaller inlet pipe into the larger housing where it can expand as it passes to the vent plate. The insertion portion of the damper sleeve member is shaped with a cut out to co-operate with the circular cylindrical portion of the housing to move gradually between a first position in which the opening is fully exposed by cut out in the insertion portion allowing passage of air from the inlet through the full area of the opening into the housing and a second position in which the cut out is turned and the insertion portion fully covers the opening thus closing off flow of air through the opening into the housing such that the insertion portion acts as a damper.

Once the surfa ce has been penetrated, mechanical excitation is generated in such a way that the joint element continues to advance as a result of the directed force (F) and the melting is maintained with the mechanical excitement while the joint element (1, 20, 30, 52, 67, 75, 80) continues to penetrate the body (41, 50, 51, 65, 66). The melted material is hereby hydraulically forced into the bodies (41, 50, 51, 65, 66).
