Patent CA-2490053-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GRAHAM MORTON
IPC: G09F13/04
Filed: 2002-06-14
Abstract: An illuminated device (10) comprises a light source (15) and an illumination plate (16), having a first face (18) and a second face (20), separated by edges (22, 24, 26 and 28), and a diffusion cover (32), having an inner surface (34). The diffusion cover (32) overlies the illumination plate (16) and is shaped to form an enclosure (38) defined by the inner surface (34) and the first face (18). The light source (15) delivers light into the illumination plate via the edges (22, 24, 26 and 28). The light undergoes scattering or primary diffusion within the plate, before emerging from the first face (18) at shallow angles, into the enclosure (38). A reflective layer (44) prevents light emerging from the second face (20). Within the enclosure (38), the light undergoes secondary diffusion to provide uniform illumination of the cover (32) and a colour, graphic or message (42) superposed thereon.

Title: Procede et dispositif electrochirurgical permettant de recuperer des tissus denses
Inventor: EGGERS PHILIP E
IPC: A61B10/02
Filed: 2004-07-12
Abstract: Instrument permettant de récupérer des spécimens de tissus extrêmement denses et comprenant un élément de récupération constitué par des feuilles s'étendant vers des zones d'extrémité supportant un ensemble de fermeture par coulissement au moyen de câbles en acier inoxydable. Les câbles de cet ensemble sont excités électriquement afin de définir un bord avant contraire et s'étendent vers l'arrière jusqu'à un élément terminal. Une commande moteur est transmise à l'élément de récupération, de manière à déployer les feuilles selon un angle d'attaque initial sensiblement constant. Pendant cette opération, l'élément terminal subit une traction vers l'avant exercée par le câble jusqu'à une butée, le fonctionnement continu du moteur chargeant à ce moment les câbles en tension. L'application d'une tension de charge préliminaire aux câbles avant de rencontrer la butée du câble de fermeture, permet de modifier graduellement l'angle d'attaque de la zone d'extrémité des feuilles afin de limiter le développement des forces latérales induites dans le tissu et s'opposant aux structures de feuilles.
