Title: Implantable prosthesis
Inventor: CAPUZZIELLO THOMAS J
IPC: A61L27/00
Filed: 2001-09-13
Abstract: An implantable prosthesis and a method of repairing an anatomical defect, such as a tissue or muscle wall defect, by promoting tissue growth thereto, while limiting the incidence of postoperative adhesions between a portion of the prosthesis and tissue or organs. The prothesis is formed of a biologically compatible, flexible layer of repair fabric suitable for reinforcing tissue or muscle and closing anatomical defects, and a barrier layer for physically isolating at least a portion of one side of the fabric from areas likely to form adhesions. A peripheral barrier extends about at least a portion of the outer peripheral edge of the repair fabric to inhibit adhesions between the outer peripheral edge and adjacent tissue and organs. The repair fabric may include an outer margin that has been melted and resolidified to render the outer peripheral edgte substantially impervious to tissue ingrowth. The barrier layer may be joined to the repair fabric with connecting stitches formed from PTFE to inhibit the formation of adhesions thereto.

Title: Method and system for enhancing portrait images
Inventor: BOLIN MARK R
IPC: G06V10/30
Filed: 2003-04-10
Abstract: A retouching method for enhancing an appearance of a face located in a digital image involves acquiring a digital image containing one or more faces and detecting a location of facial feature points in the faces, where the facial feature points include points identifying salient features such as skin, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, and hair. The location of the facial feature points are used to segment the face into different regions such as skin, eyes, eyebrows, nose, mouth, neck and hair regions. Facially relevant characteristics of the different regions are determined and, based on these facially relevant characteristics, an ensemble of enhancement filters are selected, each customized especially for a particular region, and the default parameters for the enhancement filters are selected. The enhancement filters are then executed on the particular regions, thereby producing an enhanced digital image from the digital image.

Patent CA-2427788-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOYTON DESMOND BRUCE
IPC: G01D5/347
Filed: 2001-06-22
Abstract: A position sensor encodes absolute position via n consecutive members of a pseudorandom sequence of bits, where each bit (30a-30k) comprises a region of high transmission or reflectivity adjacent to a region of low transmission or reflectivity. The pseudorandom sequence is chosen such that every series of n consecutive bits (30a-30k) in the sequence is predominantly formed from a predetermined bit value (1 or 0). The light transmitted or reflected from the series is therefore detected as a substantially periodic intensity pattern (42), which can be processed via Fourier analysis to yield an accurate interpolation of relative position. An example is given of a pseudorandom sequence, which can be represented as a cyclic Manchester code, in which at least 8 members of every series of 11 consecutive bits has a bit value of 1.

Title: Streamlined method and apparatus for aligning a sensor to an aircraft
Inventor: FOROGLOU GREGORY
IPC: G01B11/27
Filed: 2003-09-29
Abstract: An apparatus for sensing mis-alignment between an aircraft inertial reference frame and a reference frame of an attached sensor is disclosed. The apparatus includes a first laser mounted on the sensor and in the center of and normal to a first measuring surface; and, a second laser also mounted on the sensor perpendicular to the fast laser and in the center of and normal to a second measuring surface. A first reflector is mounted to and aligned with the inertial reference frame of the aircraft and is disposed for reflecting a beam of light from the first laser, whereby misalignment in roll and yaw between the sensor and the aircraft is reflected on the first measuring surface. In a similar manner, a second reflector is mounted to and aligned with the inertial reference frame of the aircraft and perpendicular to the first reflector, and is disposed for reflecting a beam of light from the second laser, whereby misalignment in roll and pitch between the sensor and the aircraft is reflected on the second measuring surface. The misalignment bias may later be read manually or electronically, and then used by the aircraft's or sensor's computer system to compensate for the misalignment bias.

Title: Method and apparatus for custom fitting a hockey stick and other sports equipment
Inventor: KLANOW BRIAN L
IPC: A63B53/02
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: The hockey stick and golf club of the present invention is generally formed of a shaft and a blade. The shaft has a grip at one end and a hosel at the opposite end. Similarly, the blade has a heel at one end and a toe at the opposite end. An incrementally locking indicia assembly rotatably attaches the heel end of the blade to the hosel of the shaft. The indicia assembly includes a scale for indicating the angle of the blade to the shaft. To adjust and customize this angle, the blade may be incrementally rotated up or down relevant to the shaft and locked into location for a trial skate by a hockey player or swing by a golfer. The lie angle of the blade may be adjusted after each trial skate to achieve maximum blade contact with a hockey puck or golf ball and increase shooting accuracy.
