Patent CA-2423222-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BAER MARTIN
IPC: F15B21/14
Filed: 2003-03-20
Abstract: The invention relates to a method for controlling a hydraulic activation unit such as is used in conjunction with the use of two hydraulic transformers per hydraulic cylinder, in particular for construction machinery. The integration of hydraulic transformers into a hydraulic circuit is intended to permit the otherwise unused potential and kinetic energy of activation elements of the hydraulic unit to be recovered during their resetting movements into the pressure lines as additionally available pressure. Here, the hydraulic trans-formers are supplied with the corresponding actuation signals by the controller in accordance with the respective requests to the hydraulic activation unit. The actuation signals bring about adjustment of the hydraulic transformers which bring about changes in the strength and direction of the volume flow. The volume flows themselves act on the hydraulic cylinder, or else alternatively on a hydraulic motor which then brings about the movement of the actuator.

Title: Method for improving signal-to-noise ratios for atmospheric pressure ionization mass spectrometry
Inventor: HAGER JAMES W
IPC: H01J49/04
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: A method of improving the signal to noise ratio of an ion beam, utilizing a tandem mass spectrometer comprising two mass filters separated by a collision cell. The first mass filter is operated in a resolving mode such that only a narrow mass-to-charge range of precursor ions are stable and accelerated towards the collision cell which contains neutral gas to promote collisional activation and subsequent fragmentation of unwanted fragile ions while minimizing fragmentation of desired analyte ions. The second mass filter is scanned synchronously with the first mass filter such that only ions that do not fragment are recorded by the ion detector. Thus, analyte ions that have fragmentation values higher than unwanted background ions are preferentially detected thereby increasing the signal-to-noise ratio of the ion beam.

Title: Method and apparatus for reducing femoral fractures
Inventor: SISK BILLY N
IPC: A61F2/36
Filed: 2004-01-27
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for reducing a hip fracture utilizing a minimally invasive procedure which does not require incision of the quadriceps. A  femoral implant in accordance with the present invention achieves intramedullary fixation as well as fixation into the femoral head to allow for the compression needed for a femoral fracture to heal. To position the femoral implant of the present invention, an incision is made along the greater trochanter. Because the greater trochanter is'not circumferentially covered with muscles, the incision can be made and the wound developed through the skin and fascia to expose the greater trochanter, without incising muscle, including, e.g., the quadriceps.  After exposing the greater trochanter, novel instruments of the present invention are utilized to prepare a cavity in the femur extending from the greater trochanter into the femoral head and further extending from the greater trochanter into the intramedullary canal of the femur. After preparation of the femoral cavity, a femoral implant in accordance with the present invention is inserted into the aforementioned cavity in the femur. The femoral implant is thereafter secured in the femur, with portions of the implant extending into and being secured within the femoral head and portions of the implant extending into and being secured within the femoral shaft.
