Patent CA-2222326-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RAPACKI ALAN R
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1996-05-31
Abstract: Surgical methods and instruments are disclosed for performing port-access or closed-chest coronary artery bypass (CABG) surgery in multivessel coronary artery disease. In contrast to standard open-chest CABG  surgery, which requires a median stemotomy or other gross thoracotomy to expose the patient's heart, post-access CABG surgery is performed through small incisions or access ports made through the intercostal spaces between the patient's ribs, resulting in greatly reduced pain and morbidity to the patient. In situ arterial bypass grafts, such as the internal mammary arteries and/or the right gastroepiploic artery, are prepared for grafting by thoracoscopic or laparoscopic takedown techniques. Free grafts, such as a saphenous vein graft or a free arterial graft, can be used to augment the in situ arterial grafts. The graft vessels are anastomosed to the coronary arteries under direct visualization through a cardioscopic microscope inserted through an intercostal access port. Retraction instruments are provided to manipulate the heart within the closed chest of the patient to expose each of the coronary arteries for visualization and anastomosis. Disclosed are a tunneler and an articulated tunneling grasper for rerouting the graft vessels, and a finger-like retractor, a suction cup retractor, a snare retractor and a loop retractor for manipulating the heart. Also disclosed is a port-access topical cooling device for improving myocardial protection during the port-access CABG procedure. An alternate surgical approach using an anterior mediastinotomy is also described.

Abstract: A stand comprised of a prop-member that detachably affixes to a bicycle pedal. Fixation to the pedal may be by means of an elongated "socket-bolt" with a socket in one end and a threaded hole in the other. The socket-bolt replaces the lock nut normally located on the bearing spindle. Other embodiments of socketed fixation means are disclosed. Both socket and prop may have the same polygonal cross section thereby preventing rotational instability of the inserted prop-member. An "orthogonal wheel-blocking" methodology is also used to stabilize the prop and pedal assembly against rotation. The prop-member may be substantially "L" shaped, thereby providing a ground contact point located below and outboard of the pedal. When the pedal assembly is rotated near its lowest point, the bicycle can be securely tilted onto the prop-member. The prop-member may also be configured to serve as a lever that applies torque to standard mechanic's toolbits.

Patent CA-2241783-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LE FRAN OIS JACQUES
IPC: H02B7/00
Filed: 1996-11-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a substation designed to supply electrical power to a consumption basin. The unit comprises a high-voltage component divided into cubicles and containing incomer connection equipment connected by supply lines to a power source whose voltage ranges from 60 kV to 245 kV. It likewise comprises a transformer compartment containing at least one transformer connected to the incomer connection equipment and a medium-voltage component containing output connection equipment connected to the transformer(s) and linked by output lines to the consumption basin in order to supply it with electrical power at a voltage not exceeding 36 kV. Finally, the substation comprises a control room. The high- and medium-voltage components, the transformer compartment and the control room are all located in a single, roofed building in which the high-voltage component equipment, the transformer(s) and the medium-voltage component equipment are situated on the same level. The substation incorporates an access way forming an integral part of the building complex. This access way is designed to facilitate direct access at the same level to the cubicles in the high-voltage component, the transformer compartment and the medium-voltage component. Finally, the roof of the building above the transformer compartment is provided with slots enabling it to be opened and closed at will to facilitate the cooling of the transformer(s) or the recapture of the heat generated by them whenever necessary. A useful feature is that the output connection equipment for the medium-voltage component is self-raising without disconnecting switches, with a system of permutation by draw-out circuit breaker. This unit is extremely compact, easy to maintain and soundproofed. Thanks to an oil retention system, it is non-polluting and is therefore especially well suited to use in urban settings, while offering unlimited possibilities for architectural adaptation.
Patent CA-2242307-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DYBEVIK ARTHUR H
IPC: E21B43/10
Filed: 1997-01-03
Abstract: A tool can be released from a tool string in a wellbore by setting the tool and applying reverse torque to the tool string for an extended period. The release mechanism (200) comprises a latch (250) including a plurality of collets (253) which are held in a radially extended position to secure a tool "T" to the tool string. A first member (201) is connected to the tool string and to the latch (250). A second member (202) is connected to the latch. In use, after the tool is set reverse torque is applied to the first member (201) to rotate it relative to the second member (202) which is constrained against rotation by the action of the tool on the latch. When the first member (201) has rotated sufficiently the first and second members occupy a release position in which downward movement of the first member (201) relative to the second member (202) (which was previously blocked) is permitted. This movement releases the latch (250) and hence allows separation of the tool and the tool string. In order to prevent accidental release relative movement between the first member (201) and second member (202) is inhibited by providing both members with vanes (204, 208) and filling the chamber therebetween with hydraulic fluid. The damping is preferably arranged so that a significant reverse torque, for example 3500 ft/1bs must be applied for a prolonged period, for example 30 seconds, before the latch can be released.
