Title: Penture modulaire continue
Inventor: CHABOT MARIO
IPC: E05D5/12
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: Cette penture modulaire est une pièce formée de telle sorte que lorsque l'on ajoute successivement des exemplaires de cette pièce aux précédents, une penture continue est assemblé sur place. Une pièce est d'abord fixée à un support fixe (jambage d'ouverture, poteaux ou autre) et une autre à la partie ouvrante ou basculante. Les pièces s'emboîtent les unes dans les autr es par le pivot. Lorsque la première partie ouvrante ou basculante est en place, on fixe une autre pentu re au support fixe, emboîtée dans la penture de la partie ouvrante en place. Puis on fixe un penture à la seconde partie ouvrante (ou basculante), on la pose dans la dernière penture fixée au support et ainsi d e suite. On forme ainsi, graduellement, une penture continue au fur et à mesure de l'ajout des parties ouvrantes ou basculantes. Lorsqu'il s'agit d'assembler un pan ouvrant (ou battant) composé de plusieur s parties, séparément ouvrables ou non, il est très difficile de bien aligner l'axe verticale des parties ouvrantes lors de leur fixation à une penture déjà en place. La penture modulaire facilite grandement ces montages puisque la penture continue est assemblée progressivement. Un autre cas où une telle penture est utile sera celui où de petites composantes électroniques mobiles doivent être connectées suivant une séquence déterminée. Avec la penture modulaire, il n'est pas nécessaire d'installer une penture continue avant de poser les parties ouvrantes ou basculantes. La penture continue s'assemble au fur et à mesure du montage des parties mobiles. Une baguette d'alignement peut être utilisée au besoin pour aligner les pentures fixes.

Title: Bioabsorbable markers for use in biopsy procedures
Inventor: FISHER JOHN S
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2001-01-26
Abstract: A bioabsorbable marker is placed in soft tissue such as breast tissue near a  lesion during a biopsy procedure. If tests prove the lesion to be malignant,  the market indicates the location of the lesion and the marker is removed surgically together with the lesion. If tests prove the lesion to be benign,  there is no need to surgically remove the marker due to its bioabsorbability . One or more markers may be carried in an elongate, flexible marker carrier that is ensheathed within an elongate, flexible outer sheath. The flexible outer sheath is slidingly introduced into the proximal end of a biopsy needl e until its distal free end protrudes from a port formed in the distal end of the biopsy needle. Retraction of the outer sheath relative to the marker carrier then exposes the marker carrier. The markers exit the marker carrier  under their own inherent bias or an auxiliary bias is employed to eject them  from the marker carrier. In a first embodiment, the bioabsorbable markers ar e hollow spheres made of polylactite acid. They are filled with iodine or othe r radiopaque material so that they are visible under X-rays and/or ultrasound.  The radiopaque material is also bioabsorbable. In an additional embodiment, the hollow spheres are filled with an easily visible dye so that, when punctured, theyprovide a visible indication of a lesion's location. In another embodiment, they are filled with radioactive material and are insert ed for therapeutic purposes in a lesion know to be malignant. Another embodimen t provides solid markers, formed by pre-mixing together a radiopaque material and a bioabsorbable material. The solid markers may also include dyes and radioactive materials. In all embodiments, the markers may be spherical, cubical, pyramidal, pentagonal, or any other predetermined shape.
Patent CA-2399642-A1 (CA)
Title: Electromagnetic detection apparatus
Inventor: SKELTON COLIN DAVID JOHN
IPC: G01J1/16
Filed: 2000-03-02
Abstract: The present invention provides an infrared absorption gauge (or other electromagnetic detection apparatus), comprising a detector circuit including a detector (282) for detecting electromagnetic radiation from a sample and for generating a signal representing the radiation received, and means for stabilising a response characteristic of the detector to the radiation detected thereby, said stabilising means comprising a controlled source of electromagnetic radiation, e.g. a GaAs diode (32), for directing radiation at the detector (282), and means (38, 40) for controlling the radiation source in dependence upon the signal generated by the detector. The stabilising means thus acts as a negative feedback loop and seeks to maintain the overall illumination irradiating the detector (282), i.e. the combined illumination that is reflected back from the sample and that is emitted by the GaAs diode (32), at a substantially constant predetermined level, which tends to linearise the response of the dectector (282) to the radiation detected and extends the frequency response of the detector (282) to the radiation detected.
Patent CA-2400311-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HANG HUONG M
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 2001-02-13
Abstract: An elapsed time clock (31) is incorporated into a part call tag for requesti ng replenishment of components used by workstations of a manufacturing facility . One or more transmission readers spatially distributed around the manufacturing facility detect a part call signal transmitted from the part call tag. A reader output processing subsystem processes part call signals detected by at least one of the tag transmission readers to recover information contained in the part call signal. A management processor associates the recovered information with a respective workstation, and what  component is to be replenished. The elapsed time clock (31) is reset (33) wh en the part call tag is operated to transmit a part call signal, and thereby serves as a call tag 'stop watch' - informing workstation personnel of the length of time that has elapsed since the last part call transmission from that tag.
