Abstract: A device and method for protecting a blood vessel. The device (7) may be a stent (2), for insertion in a large artery such as the ascending aorta (1), and may be combined with a filter (16). The device includes an outer wire frame rather than a stent.The stent may be made of at least one layer of mesh (12), which is typically attached or mounted to the arterial wall. Typically the size of the apertures of the mesh (12) at the top portion of the stent is smaller than the bottom portion of the stent. The device and method are particularly useful in preventing blockages of flow to the brain, but have other uses as well. An electric charge (14) may be placed on the device, for example, to prevent blood components from collecting.

Abstract: A method and system for facilitating rental of self-storage rental units is operative to establish interactive communication between a potential customer located at a rental site service area and a remote manager who can recommend one or more storage units that meet the customer's size needs and time availability. The manager can direct the customer through a security gate to specific storage units for inspection, and guide the customer in completing a rental agreement for a selected storage unit at the customer service area.  Telephonic communication between the customer and the remote manager is established via a public switch telephone network. The remote manager can provide instructions and answer questions while observing the customer's movements, and can verify information inserted on the rental agreement through strategically placed cameras within the customer service area. Security cameras enable the remote manager to observe the rental unit site. This abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure.

Title: Child resistant sachet
Inventor: LANGMEIER JAMES ROBERT
IPC: B65D65/40
Filed: 2003-02-07
Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved child resistant sachet (10) construction, suitable for holding a medicinal product, especially a flavoured product. The sachet is a three seal sachet, or stick pack, made from a laminate sheet, the sachet having a fin seal (40) along a longitudinal axis and transverse fin seals (60, 70) at each end. The laminate sheet is tough enough to resist tearing unless a notch is provided with which to initiate a tear. A fold line(B, B') extends across a corner of the sachet and through the fin seal, a notch (80) extending through the sachet in a transverse seal area and perpendicular to the fold line such that when the sachet is folded a cut is revealed that allows the user to initiate a tear across the pack opening up a pouring spout for dispensing the medicinal product. In an alternative aspect of the invention the laminate sheet is provided with an acrylonitrile methyl acrylate copolymer resin on the sheet face which forms the inside of the sachet. This layer provides improved retention of flavour whilst still allowing the sachet to be readily torn once a tear has been initiated.

Title: Method and system for encapsulating cells
Inventor: KRUNZ MARWAN M
IPC: H04Q11/04
Filed: 2003-05-12
Abstract: Encapsulating cells includes receiving cells at a queue associated with decision points. Each decision point corresponds to a number of cells and is associated with a threshold criterion. The following operations are repeated until a threshold criterion is satisfied. A number of cells corresponding to a decision point are accumulated at the queue. Jitter associated with the cells at the queue is predicted, and it is determined whether the predicted jitter satisfies the threshold criterion associated with the decision point. If the predicted jitter satisfies the threshold criterion, the cells are sent to a buffer coupled to the queue. Otherwise, the cells continue to be accumulated at the queue. The cells in the buffer are encapsulated.

Patent CA-2497624-A1 (CA)
Inventor: YOSHIDA SATOSHI
IPC: H04B10/29
Filed: 2005-02-21
Abstract: Instead of using a demultiplexer to divide an optical signal into different wavelengths, this invention uses a plurality of cascade-connected optical attenuator elements whose attenuation factor and the wavelength characteristics thereof can both be varied. Reflective optical attenuator elements are used instead of the conventional transmissive elements, and these are column connected by connecting them in sequence to an optical circulator. In these reflective optical attenuator elements, the attenuation factor is controlled by displacing the mirror of a Fabry-Perot optical resonator along a direction perpendicular to the optical axis so that the reflecting surface moves away from the light spot, and the wavelength characteristics of the attenuation factor are controlled by displacing the mirror in the direction of the optical axis to change the resonant wavelength. In this way, it is possible to implement a variable-gain optical equalizer with a simple configuration and low insertion loss. Furthermore, since the reflective elements are configured so that the light-transmitting part (e.g., optical fiber) is only connected in one direction with respect to these elements, there are fewer physical constraints when attaching the movable plate of a device with a minute range of movement compared with a configuration where light-transmitting parts are connected in at least two directions of the element as is the case with transmissive elements.

Filed: 2005-02-25
Abstract: A cyclone dust collector and a vacuum cleaner having the same. The cyclone dust collector has a cyclone body shaped to have a relatively wider upper portion and a relatively narrower lower portion and also has a suction port and a discharge port, a grill member connected to the discharge port, a dust receptacle connected to the cyclone body, and a blocking member for partially blocking the grill member. Air drawn in through the suction port moves in an increasingly wider radial path as it travels upwardly to the discharge port, increasing the centrifugal force on suspended particles as they travel toward the discharge port. The shape of the cyclone body prevents turbulent flow from being generated. Dust is prevented by the blocking member from attaching to the grill member before being centrifuged, performance of the grill member is enhanced.
