Title: Drop in dart activated downhole vibration tool
Inventor: LYNDE GERALD D
IPC: E21B31/00
Filed: 2003-01-29
Abstract: A downhole vibration tool consisting of a body assembly installed in a work string, and a drop-in dart valve assembly. An open inner bore through the body assembly allow the performance of operations through the body assembly. To activate the vibration tool, the dart valve assembly is dropped into the work string and pumped downhole into engagement with the body assembly. Once the dart valve assembly is in place in the body assembly, continued pumping of fluid will cause the tool to begin to vibrate longitudinally. When the jarring operation is finished, the dart valve assembly can be released from the body assembly and retrieved, with a wireline or coiled tubing unit.

Patent CA-2478736-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOTSTEIN DAVID
IPC: A61K31/7088
Filed: 1999-12-02
Abstract: The invention concerns compositions and methods for the diagnosis and treatment of neoplastic cell growth and proliferation in mammals, including humans. The invention is based upon the identification of genes that are amplified in the genome of turner cells. Such gene amplification is expected to be associated with the overexpression of the gene product as compared to normal cells of the same tissue type and contribute to tumorigenesis. Accordingly, the proteins encoded by the amplified genes are believed to be useful targets for the diagnosis and/or treatment (including prevention) of certain cancers, and may act as predictors of the prognosis of tumor treatment. The present invention is directed to novel polypeptides and to nucleic acid molecules encoding those polypeptides. Also provided herein are vectors and host cells comprising those nucleic acid sequences, chimeric polypeptide molecules comprising the polypeptides of the present invention fused to heterologous polypeptide sequences, antibodies which bind to the polypeptides of the present invention and to methods for producing the polypeptides of the present invention.

Patent CA-2482583-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SETSER MICHAEL E
IPC: A61B17/28
Filed: 2004-09-27
Abstract: Un instrument d'agrafage et de sectionnement chirurgical, particulièrement adapté aux actes endoscopiques comprend une poignée qui produit des mouvements d'obturation et de cautérisation distincts pour actionner un dispositif terminal effecteur. En particulier, la poignée produit de multiples coups de cautérisation, afin de diminuer la force requise pour actionner (c.-à-d. sectionner et agrafer) le dispositif terminal effecteur. Une transmission articulée permet de réduire la longueur de la poignée, tout en permettant d'obtenir une configuration rigide et ferme lorsque cette poignée est dressée pour l'obturation. Un mécanisme de cautérisation sollicité par traction évite le grippage en entraînant ce support articulé dressé en coopération avec un mécanisme antidériveur, avec un mécanisme de verrouillage qui empêche la libération de la gâchette d'obturation lors de la cautérisation. De plus, un indicateur extérieur donne une rétroaction au chirurgien, relativement à la progression de la cautérisation, ainsi que la fourniture d'une possibilité de rétraction manuelle.

Title: Adjustable-length compression spring
Inventor: KNAUST HOLGER
IPC: F16F9/32
Filed: 2004-10-19
Abstract: An adjustable-length compression spring comprises a casing filled with pressure fluid. A piston rod is sealingly extended through a guide and seal unit which closes the casing, a piston, which is sealingly guided therein, being joined to the piston rod. The piston divides the casing into two sectional casing chambers, which are filled with pressure fluid. For connection to each other of the sectional casing chambers, provision is made for a valve operated by a valve pin. The casing includes a locking mechanism which comprises a first and a second locking element, the first of which being in pushing connection with a first operating element and the second with the valve pin. They cooperate in the way of a retractable-ballpoint-pen mechanism so that, in a first position of locking, the valve pin takes a position of release with free connection between the sectional casing chambers and, in a second position of locking, it takes a position of blocking with any connection between the sectional casing chambers being shut off. This type of integrated locking mechanism can be made solid, nevertheless needing little space.

Title: A method and apparatus for creating performance limits from parametric measurements
Inventor: WASCHURA JAMES R
IPC: G06F15/00
Filed: 2005-02-02
Abstract: A measurement device includes a measurement circuit that generates a parametric measurement data signal including parametric characteristics of an input signal. In an exemplary embodiment, the parametric characteristics are measured at predetermined increments of time. A population limit analyzer is coupled to the measurement circuit and generates limit data in response to the parametric measurement data signal.      A measurement limit checker is coupled to the population limit analyzer and generates a signal indicating that the characteristics of the parametric measurement data signal is within acceptable limits. With this information, the user is able to quickly grade a selected device under test (DUT). A device performance measurement method includes receiving an input signal. Next, statistical characteristics are determined from the parametric measurements of the input signal. Performance limits are extrapolated from the statistical characteristics of the parametric measurements. Then, a determination is made as to whether the parametric measurements are within the extrapolated performance limits.

Patent CA-2500392-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAPUR RAVI
IPC: B01L99/00
Filed: 2003-09-29
Abstract: The invention features methods for separating cells from a sample (e.g., separating fetal red blood cells from maternal blood). The method begins with the introduction of a sample including cells into one or more microfluidic channels. In one embodiment, the device includes at least two processing steps. For example, a mixture of cells is introduced into a microfluidic channel that selectively allows the passage of a desired type of cell, and the population of cells enriched in the desired type is then introduced into a second microfluidic channel that allows the passage of the desired cell to produce a population of cells further enriched in the desired type. The selection of cells is based on a property of the cells in the mixture, for example, size, shape, deformability, surface characteristics (e.g., cell surface receptors or antigens and membrane permeability), or intracellular properties (e.g., expression of a particular enzyme).
