Patent CA-2437475-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BURBANK FRED
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2001-11-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif (100) de ligature qui comprend une canule (104) comprenant un premier et un second élément (120, 122) extensible et une sonde-tige (140) Doppler. La sonde-tige (140) Doppler permet la localisation d'un vaisseau anatomique tel qu'un vaisseau sanguin à proximité immédiate de l'extrémité distale de la canule (104). Les éléments (120, 122) extensibles peuvent être avancés sur les deux côtés opposés du vaisseau. Une section de matériau de ligature tel qu'un matériau de suture passe à travers le premier élément extensible et est fixé sur un organe (124) détachable monté sur l'extrémité distale de l'élément extensible. Le second élément (122) extensible comprend un attrape-boucle (126). Le premier élément (120) extensible comprend des parties courbées qui, lorsque l'élément (120) se trouve dans sa position d'extension distale, font avancer l'élément (124) détachable pour le mettre en position pour l'attrape-boucle (126), de manière que ce dernier peut saisir la boucle. Une fois la boucle saisie, l'élément (124) détachable est libéré du premier élément (120) extensible ce qui resserre le matériau de ligature autour du vaisseau. Ce dispositif (100) de ligature ne nécessite pas de visualisation ou de dissection préalable de la zone entourant le vaisseau.

Title: Sand control seal for subsurface safety valve
Inventor: THOMPSON GRANT R
IPC: E21B34/10
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: A seal is provided to prevent contamination by sand or grit in the clearance between a flow tube and the inner housing wall in a safety valve. An enlarged space is provided adjacent the seal to allow accumulation of sand or grit in the annular clearance space without causing seizure of the flow tube. The insert safety valve is assembled without a spacer with a seal mounted to the lower end of the insert valve to engage the bottom sub on the SSV. As a result, particularly for larger sizes of insert safety valves, the assembly is lighter and shorter, which facilitates use of readily available standard lubricator and wireline equipment.

Title: Method of opening for bags of supple polymeric material subject to interlayer cling
Inventor: BELL KIM N I
IPC: B65D33/00
Filed: 2001-12-17
Abstract: A collapsed bag (40) of unitary construction is made of supple polymeric material, having first and second opposed contiguous flat sidewalk (46, 47) joined at edges and at the bottom but free or with user-releasable weakening at upper edges. The upper edges define a bag mouth.      Appropriately situated graspable points (42, 44) at or near bag edges allow the sidewalk to be tensioned or snapped in opposing directions (43, 45) thereby causing the interlayer cling, to which supple polymeric bags are renownedly susceptible, to be readily disrupted for the full distance of contact between the tensioning points and thus for virtually the entirety of the bag mouth to be opened.

Title: Method and apparatus for robust local mobility management in a mobile network
Inventor: VENKITARAMAN NARAYANAN
IPC: H04L69/40
Filed: 2003-02-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus for robust mobility management in a network having a mobile node (MN), a mobility anchor point (MAP), a correspondent node (CN1, CN2), a home agent (HA) and an access router (AR1) and operating under a hierarchical protocol. The mobile node (MN) sends the address (102, 104) of the mobility anchor point (MAP) to the correspondent node (CN1, CN2) and sends the address (106, 108) of the mobile node (MN) on the network of the access router (AR) to the home agent (HA) and to the mobility anchor point (MAP).  When failure of the mobility anchor point occurs, the mobile node recovers from the failure by selecting a new mobility anchor point or operating under a non-hierarchical protocol. Failure is detected by an intermediate router or by a correspondent node when messages fail to reach the mobility anchor point.
