Patent CA-2681659-A1 (CA)
Inventor: PALACIOS CORTELL ABELARDO LEON
IPC: A01K91/08
Filed: 2008-03-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a device that is used to sink bait from a vessel during trolling fishing, characterised in that it comprises a body formed by two arms, namely a vertical arm and a horizontal arm that are attached to the gunwale of the boat. Two pulleys are attached independently to the horizontal arm and can rotate independently of one another, each pulley being provided with a securing wire. One of said wires is used to secure a heavy body and the other wire is used to secure a small sheave joined to a clip which ensures that the bait remains attached to the fishing line while being lowered and raised to the desired depth. When the heavy body is cast from the device, by rotating the pulley thereof, the wire securing same is maintained in a vertical position in respect of the boat. The small clip-fitted sheave is inserted into the heavy body securing wire. The fishing line and bait are lowered by rotating the pulley joined to the small sheave and clip that holds the fishing line steady and, in this way, the corresponding wire is cast from the device. Subsequently, owing to the movement of the boat, the sheave and clip are guided vertically towards the heavy body, which has been independently cast to the desired depth, by the wire securing same. The wire used to secure the small sheave and clip is retrieved by rotating the pulley thereof, such that it rises towards the boat, with the heavy body staying at the desired depth. The invention also includes a direct-current motor having a forwards or backwards rotational movement which rotates the pulley between the wire and the small clip-fitted sheave, thereby transmitting the lowering/raising movement from the fishing line joined thereto.

Title: Image display updating method, server client system and drawing operation echo back script
Inventor: KAGAWA TAKANOBU
IPC: G06F13/00
Filed: 2008-02-28
Abstract: A drawing object image and an image processing program are provided in an HTTP  server 12.  The drawing object image is downloaded by accessing the HTTP server 12 from a terminal unit 10. When the operator initiates a drawing operation on a WEB browser screen of terminal unit 10, an XMLHTTP request with coordinate position information of the cursor and the drawing radius information are transmitted to the HTTP server 12 to execute an image manipulation process. The WEB browser virtually divides the drawing operation object image into cells, identifies the cells in which the image contents are modified in the image manipulation process, and issues HTTP requests for the cell images. The HTTP server 12 cuts out the manipulated image in the requested areas and transmits them to the WEB browser and arranges them.

Abstract: A tissue splitter for creating a subcutaneous cut is disclosed. The tissue splitter is insertable into a slotted cannula that is placed via an incision to a location proximate a patient's spine. An actuator at the proximal end of the instrument projects the blade located at the distal end from its retracted state through the slot of the cannula to an extracted state to subcutaneously cut tissue at a location outside the cannula. The blade is movable inside the slot of the cannula by a distance such that the cut created by the blade remains subcutaneous and does not puncture the skin of the patient. The distance is adjustable for the length of the cut and is limited by an adjustment collar. The tissue splitter is ideally suited for creating a pathway for the subcutaneous implantation of a spinal stabilization rod between two bone anchors placed in vertebral bodies.
