Title: Mri biopsy device localization fixture
Inventor: WILKINS JAY
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 2005-05-20
Abstract: A localization mechanism, or fixture, is used in conjunction with a breast coil for breast compression and for guiding a core biopsy instrument during prone biopsy procedures in both open and closed Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machines. The localization fixture includes a three-dimensional Cartesian positionable guide for supporting and orienting an MRI-compatible biopsy instrument, and, in particular, a sleeve to a biopsy site of suspicious tissues or lesions. A z-stop enhances accurate insertion, prevents over-insertion or inadvertent retraction of the sleeve. The sleeve receives a probe of the MRI-compatible biopsy instrument and may contain various features to enhance its imagability, to enhance vacuum and pressure assist therethrough, etc.
Patent CA-2513097-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SIKDAR SOMSUBHRA
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2003-11-12
Abstract: Data processors and methods for their configuration and use are disclosed. As opposed to traditional von Neumann microprocessors, the disclosed processors are semantic processors (100) they parse an input stream and direct one or more semantic execution engines (300) to execute code segments, depending on what is being parsed. For defined-structure input streams such as packet data streams, these semantic processors can be both economical and fast as compared to a von Neumann system. Several optional components can augment device operation. For instance, a machine context data interface relieves the semantic execution engines (300) from managing physical memory, allows the orderly access to memory by multiple engines, and implements common access operations. Further, a simple von Neumann exception-processing unit can be attached to a semantic execution engine to execute more complicated, but infrequent or non-time-critical operations.

Title: Pipeline cathodic protection connection
Inventor: SMYTH ROBERT J
IPC: C23F13/06
Filed: 2005-10-07
Abstract: A pipeline cathodic protection connection is provided to create a mechanical electrical connection on an operating pipe in conjunction with an external pipe reinforcing sleeve arrangement. The outer surface of the pipe and the inner surface of the pipe reinforcing sleeve are cleaned, and an epoxy filler material is applied to the pipe over the area to be covered by the external pipe reinforcing sleeve. A mechanical connecting apparatus is provided on the external surface of the pipe reinforcing sleeve to connect the sleeve to cathodic protection equipment. The sleeve is then installed around the pipe to mechanically electrically connect the sleeve to the pipe. The epoxy acts both as a filler agent and sealant, preventing the external environment from interfering with the mechanical electrical connection. The pipe sleeve therefore acts as one unit, expanding and contracting with fluctuations in the pipe's pressure and temperature while maintaining the mechanical electrical connection to the pipe.
