Patent CA-2299697-C (CA)
Title: Disposable laparoscopic morcellator
Inventor: DILLOW DAVID CURTIS
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 1998-07-31
Granted: 2007-04-17
Abstract: A morcellator (10) for removing large masses of tissues during laparoscopic procedures includes a rotationally fixed, axially movable inner tube (14) disposed within a rotating cutting member (12). The cutting member (12) is often disposed in the annular space between the inner tube (14), and an outer tube (16). A laparoscopic grasping instrument (42) is inserted through the lumen, and draws the tissue proximally through the morcellator (10). As the cutting member (12) severs tissue, the tissue is drawn into the fixed lumen of the inner tube (14). This prevents the cutting members (12) from twisting the severed tissue, thereby preventing any degradation of the surgeon's control. A novel valve (28) is provided to prevent loss of insufflation gas when no instrument traverses the lumen. The inner tube (14) can be translated distally to protect tissue, and/or other surgical implements against inadvertent contact with the cutting edge of the cutting member (12).

Abstract: The present invention includes a method for forming a custom-made insole including the step of positioning a foot to be measured on a scanning station. The scanning station includes at least one laser unit which is passed along an undersurface of the foot. The undersurface of the foot is scanned by the at least one laser scanning unit which measures the detected surface coordinates of the undersurface. The measured surface coordinates are processed and transmitted to a computer. A milling station, in communication with the scanning station and computer, includes a milling assembly for forming the custom-made insole. The computer controls the operation of the milling assembly based upon the coordinates determined by the at least one laser scanning unit.

Title: A database useful for configuring and/or optimizing a system and a method for generating the database
Inventor: JENSEN CLAUS ERIK
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 1999-03-16
Granted: 2009-02-17
Abstract: The invention provides the ability to generate and use a database representing all solutions (legal combinations) satisfying all constraints of configuration problems on finite domains and/or intervals. The configuration space with all legal combinations is stored in a compact way in terms of nested arrays, where each legal Cartesian subspace has a unique index. Thus, the complete configuration space (which can be extended with object functions for optimization) is easily addressable by parallel indexing techniques and the database is therefore suitable for run-time applications (e.g. configuration on the Internet), which must be performed in real time.

Granted: 2012-09-18
Abstract: An apparatus and method for identifying and transmitting time critical or high priority files from an on-board monitor aboard a vehicle. During operation of the vehicle, the on-board monitor collects and stores operational parametric information in the form of data files. The data files are transmitted to a remote site on a periodic basis or in response to certain predetermined conditions above the vehicle. To reduce the latency and delay times with transmitting the high priority files, those files are merged and transmitted before the transmission of relatively lower priority data files.

Abstract: A hydraulic actuator has a housing including a drive chamber with a fluid inlet, with a piston extending from and reciprocating in the housing. A reciprocal sleeve within the drive chamber, clear of the drive chamber and piston walls, surrounds the piston to define a return chamber having an exhaust valve and inlet valve. The piston and sleeve interact to generate pressure changes in the return chamber during piston movement in the first direction, moving the sleeve to open the inlet valve and close the exhaust valve, thereby decelerating and then accelerating the piston in the second direction. Formations on the piston and the housing, downstream of the inlet valve, interact to generate pressure changes in the return chamber during piston movement in the second direction, moving the sleeve to close the inlet valve and open the exhaust valve, thereby decelerating and then accelerating the piston in the first direction.

Abstract: Pour augmenter l'activité antioxydante spécifique d'extraits de romarin (Rosemarinus officinalis), on utilise, lors du processus d'extraction, un mélange de tétrafluoroéthane et d'acétone. Un mélange de tétrafluoroéthane, d'acétone et de méthanol améliore le rendement global. Un mélange de tétrafluoroéthane et d'acétone possède une plus grande efficacité, mais un rendement relativement plus faible. Les procédés permettent de produire un extrait antioxydant liquide et huileux que l'on peut facilement mélanger avec un produit liquide tel que l'huile de soja et, ensuite, ajouter aux aliments pour animaux et pour humains. Lesdits procédés permettent de produire simultanément, avec des rendements élevés, des huiles essentielles de qualité pharmaceutiques.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé permettant de payer des gains à un jeu de hasard de casino tel que la roulette. Selon ce procédé, le casino affiche sur un écran informatique les mises du joueur que le croupier utilise conventionnellement pour un calcul mental des gains à payer. Toutefois, le croupier intervient désormais en spécifiant au clavier, ou à tout autre instrument analogue, les mises qu'a faites le joueur, ce qui lui permet d'obtenir automatiquement les montants des gains à payer au joueur. L'écran informatique du joueur affiche également le montant total à payer tel qu'il est calculé. En outre, l'organe de saisie des données comporte un écran que le croupier peut lire sans quitter la table des yeux. Cet écran permet au croupier de vérifier l'exactitude des mises saisies et le gain total payé tout en continuant à surveiller la table pour que les mises ne sont pas déplacées après la clôture des mises. Enfin, les joueurs peuvent facilement surveiller l'écran informatique du joueur pour vérifier que le paiement des gains se fait correctement.

Abstract: The invention relate to a shooting simulation method, comprising barrelled weapons which fire ballistic projectiles. When a shot is simulated, the barrelled weapon (11) illuminates the target (13) using an optical transmitter (20) and a virtual impact of the projectile is determined, in order to establish a hit on target. The inventive method aims to reduce the production costs of the shooting simulation system and to ensure sufficient accuracy for the use thereof on the combat training range. To this end, the transmitter light is tightly concentrated optically and is pivoted successively on one plane. Information relating to the current position and vertical alignment (elevation) of the barrelled weapon (11) and the type of weapon and projectile is modulated on the transmitter light. In the target (13) which is equipped with an optical receiver device, the virtual projectile impact and the distance between the target (13) and the barrelled weapon (11) arc determined from the weapon information that has been transmitted to the target (13) and from the known target position and are compared with one another, in order to establish a hit on target. If the information matches, a hit is displayed.
