Patent CA-2502208-A1 (CA)
Inventor: OLIVE DAVID
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2003-12-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble de dilatation de la cavité du col de l'utérus ainsi qu'un procédé d'utilisation associé. Cet ensemble comprend une tige en plastique, un premier élément gonflable et un second élément gonflable. La consistance de cette tige peut aller de la rigidité à une grande souplesse. Le second élément gonflable est fabriqué avec un matériau non élastique et est conçu pour posséder un diamètre gonflable maximum. Plus spécifiquement, ce second élément gonflable est conçu pour avoir un diamètre gonflable maximum prédéterminé compris entre 4 et 20 mm. Cet ensemble de dilatation peut également être du moins partiellement recouvert par une gaine. Un système de commande comprend un moyen pour mesurer la pression conçu pour au moins surveiller la pression du second élément gonflable. Un fil peut être utilisé dans certaines configurations choisies pour raidir et former la tige. Pendant le fonctionnement la pénétration initiale de l'ensemble de dilatation dans l'utérus met en oeuvre un fil pour une raideur accrue. L'ensemble de dilatation est ensuite acheminé à travers la partie restante de la cavité du col de l'utérus. Le premier élément gonflable est gonflé dans l'utérus après que la gaine est retirée. Le second élément gonflable est placé dans la cavité du col de l'utérus et gonflé progressivement jusqu'à un diamètre maximum prédéterminé.

Inventor: KARABINIS PETER D
IPC: H04B7/08
Filed: 2004-03-17
Abstract: Wireless communications are transmitted from at least two radioterminals to a base station co-channel over a return link using a return link alphabet.  Wireless communications are also transmitted from the base station to the at least two radioterminals over a forward link using a forward link alphabet that has more symbols than the return link alphabet. The co-channel signals are deciphered at the receiver, while the radioterminals can use a smaller return link alphabet, which can reduce the power dissipation at the radioterminals.
Patent CA-2517995-A1 (CA)
Inventor: XU XIANG
IPC: B29C48/48
Filed: 2005-09-02
Abstract: An advanced structural foam molding technology for improving the dispersion of the blowing agent in the polymer matrix has been invented. This technological innovation is an improvement on the well-known existing low-pressure structural foam molding technology based on the preplasticating-type (so called piggy-bag) injection-molding machines. By introducing means for continuing the polymer matrix melt flow stream, preferably an additional accumulator and a gear pump, the processing conditions become more consistent to disperse the injected gas more uniformly in the polymer matrix. By using this technology, the structural foams have a smaller cell size, a more uniform cell structure, a larger void fraction (i.e., more material saving), less surface swirl, and less weld line contrast.

Patent CA-2520800-A1 (CA)
Title: Systems and methods for low-temperature gas separation
Inventor: ALFEROV VADIM IVANOVICH
IPC: F25J3/02
Filed: 2005-09-23
Abstract: One of the drawbacks common to many currently available low-temperature gas mixture separation techniques is that known systems and methods that embody the techniques are inefficient. In contrast to known systems and methods for low-temperature gas mixture separation, some embodiments of the present invention provide a system for low-temperature gas mixture separation that recycles energy and reduces power consumption by re-circulating heated and/or cooled flows (e.g. gas, liquid and mixed-phase flows) within the system. Accordingly, in some embodiments efficiency is somewhat improved, as compared to comparable systems that do not include the re-circulation of heat energy. In some embodiments the heat energy that is re-circulated is a combination of heat added to the system (i.e. inputs to the system) and heat released within the system (i.e. byproducts from within the system) that are subsequently recovered. In particular, some systems and methods provided in accordance with embodiments of the invention are suited for separating the constituent components of natural gas and other hydrocarbon gas mixtures.

Title: Liquid aerosol formulations containing insulin and aerosol generating devices and methods for generating aerosolized insulin
Inventor: HINDLE MICHAEL
IPC: A61M11/00
Filed: 2004-05-05
Abstract: Liquid aerosol formulations for generating aerosolized insulin include insulin and at least one high volatility carrier which protects the insulin from thermal degradation during vaporization of the carrier. The carrier can be a mixture of ethanol and water and the liquid aerosol formulation can be propellant free. An aerosol generating device generates the aerosolized insulin by passing the liquid aerosol formulation through a flow passage heated to convert the liquid into a vapor which entrains insulin particles which mix with air to form an aerosol. The insulin particles can be dry insulin particles produced by a hand held inhaler. By controlling the concentration of the insulin in the formulation, the size of the flow passage and/or the amount of heat which heats the flow passage, the aerosol can be provided with a selected mass median aerodynamic diameter of 1 to 3 ~m or less than 1 ~m so as to be delivered to a targeted portion of the lung using the inhaler.
