Patent CA-2396544-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MURASE JUNJI
IPC: B29C45/47
Filed: 2001-10-30
Abstract: The invention relates to an electric injecting molder and an injection velocity and injection pressure controlling method for an electric injecting molder, and it is an object of the present invention to make it possible, in injection molding by an electric injection molder, to mold stable resin products having a minimized dispersion in the quality even if the operation environment varies.      When an injection screw (23) disposed in an injection cylinder (22) is driven to move in forward and backward directions by an electric motor (29A) to inject resin material (3) in the injection cylinder (22) into a metal mold (1, 2) to fill the metal mold (1, 2), the electric motor (29A) is first velocity-controlled to fill the resin material (3) into the metal mold (1, 2), and, after the filling, the electric motor (29A) is pressure-controlled to replenish the resin material for shrinkage of the resin.      Upon the velocity control, a velocity target value for the injection screw (23) is corrected in response to a force detection value so that the velocity target value for the injection screw (23) may decrease as the force detection value increases to perform velocity feedback control of the electric motor (29A) so that a velocity detection value from velocity detection means may be equal to the velocity target value.

Patent CA-2404933-A1 (CA)
Title: Catheter
Inventor: WITTENBERGER DAN
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2000-04-27
Abstract: A catheter for ablating tissue, for example to treat a cardiac arrhythmia, includes a handle, a shapeable shaft and a distal ablation segment. The shaft retains a first position until manipulated to a further position with the application of moderate manual pressure. The shaft incorporates plastically deformable elements and is shapeable to conform to an insertion path or the particular anatomy of a patient for accessing a site to be ablated. Once shaped, the shaft retains its shape as the catheter is inserted or manipulated to the predetermined tissue treatment location and the distal segment is urged into contact with the tissue site. A  deflection mechanism may be provided to facilitate navigation to, or to deflect the ablation segment into conformal contact with, the tissue target. In a further or alternative embodiment, a second or auxiliary shaft member extends distally from the ablation segment, allowing the segment to be threaded by or pulled past occluding tissue to a remote target tissue site. By gripping the end of the second shaft, the flexible ablation segment may be either tensioned or pulled inward against, or flexed and pushed outward against a treatment site, such as a region of the posterior epicardial wall, thus providing more effective contact for a broad range of dispositions and tissue orientations. In another embodiment, a thermal shield extends over a portion of the ablation segment, shielding adjacent tissue from damage while still effectively exposing the target tissue to ablation energy. The shield may be rotated or moved axially to delimit an area of cryogenic contact and achieve better protection of surrounding tissue structures in occluded or remote treatment target regions.
