Patent CA-2168414-C (CA)
Inventor: SCHWEMBERGER RICHARD F
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 1996-01-30
Granted: 2007-05-15
Abstract: A surgical penetration instrument is disclosed. It has an elongated shaft and a penetrating tip extending from the distal end of the shaft. A blade extends outwardly from the penetrating tip. The blade is transparent. When the penetrating tip is transparent, the tip not only facilitates penetration through bodily tissue but also acts as an imaging element in conjunction with an endoscope extending through the shaft of the instrument to simultaneously visualize the surgical field during penetration. Significantly, unlike a conventional metallic blade, the transparent blade will not obstruct the field of view as the instrument is advanced. When the penetrating tip is plastic, and the blade is composed of a transparent plastic, the blade can be joined to the tip using conventional plastic processing methods such as injection molding, thus reducing manufacturing costs incurred if a metallic blade were used. Also disclosed is a surgical penetration instrument with a plastic penetrating tip and a protective cap fitting over and enclosing a portion of the tip to prevent or lessen the possibility of breaking, cracking or otherwise damaging the tip.

Title: Apparatus and method for generating 100% united states postal service bar coded lists
Inventor: BAJORINAS ANDREW P
IPC: B07C3/18
Filed: 1996-03-28
Granted: 1999-11-23
Abstract: The invention is a method and apparatus for generating a coded address list. The method is initiated by inputting an address list to a data processing device which then reads each address record on the address list.      As an address record is read, a set of rules is applied to the record to determine whether or not a corresponding bar code can be assigned. If a bar code can be assigned, then the data processing device writes the address record and its corresponding bar code to a first list. If, however, a corresponding bar code is not determined for an address record, then the unmatched address record is posted to a second list. The first list is output for printing, while the second list is saved to memory. With respect to the second list, the system operator can: manually correct an address record on the list; delete the address record; or, output the address record to a printer for non-discounted mailing. The apparatus for generating the coded address lists comprises data processing means for accepting the address list and for accepting a set of postal service rules for coding the address records on the list. The data processing means has a memory for storing the postal service rules, and coding means for coding the address records.      Additionally, the apparatus has compiler means for compiling the lists of coded and non-coded address records; and, output means for outputting the coded list for printing, and further for outputting a report.

Title: Packet transfer scheme and mobile communication system
Inventor: HIRATA SHOICHI
IPC: H04W76/04
Filed: 1995-12-28
Granted: 2000-06-20
Abstract: In order to provide a packet transfer scheme in which various data can easily be used commonly with other communication methods and a packet can be transferred at a high speed, a mobile communication system comprises a database (20) for storing an identification number of a mobile terminal (40) and location information indicating a zone in which the mobile terminal is currently located, a packet switch (10), and another packet switch (30) capable of communication when the mobile terminal (40) is located in a zone under the packet switch (30). The packet switch (10) inquires of the database (20) about the location information of the mobile terminal (40) when the packet switch (10) receives a packet addressed to the mobile terminal (40).  When the mobile terminal (40) is located in the zone under the packet switch (30), the packet is transferred to the mobile terminal (40) through the packet switch (30). Owing to this arrangement, the number of packet switches necessary for transferring the packet to the mobile terminal is two at the most. Thus, the packet can be transferred rapidly.

Title: Snapshot of data stored on a mass storage system
Inventor: OHRAN RICHARD S
IPC: G06F12/16
Filed: 1995-10-10
Granted: 2000-12-19
Abstract: A method for providing a static snapshot, or image, of data stored on a mass storage system (104). At the start of the method, a preservation memory (106) is cleared and a virtual device is created. Whenever a write is to be performed on the mass storage system (104), a check is made of the preservation memory (106) to determine if it contains a block associated with the mass storage write address. If there is not, a copy of the block in the mass storage system (104) at the block write address is placed in the preservation memory (106). Whenever a read is to be performed on the virtual device, a check is made of the preservation memory (106) to determine if it contains a block associated with the virtual device read address. If there is such a block, that block is returned as the result of the virtual device read. Otherwise, the block at the virtual device block read address is returned as the result.

Abstract: A platform for connecting to a CCS7 network for supporting concurrently running CCS related applications. Copies of the SUs flowing through the network are sent to the platform where the FISUs, LSSUs and MSUs are filtered to provide the desired SU type for each of the applications. The MSUs are filtered by MSU category and MSU type within category into groups of MSUs of particular interest to the applications, respectively. Linked lists of filter elements associated with the respective linksets of the CCS7 network perform the filtering by comparing category and type fields to the MSU categories and types to form the groups. Filter change data received at a user interface is utilized to modify the filters.

Title: Underactuated mechanical finger with return actuation
Inventor: GOSSELIN CLEMENT M
IPC: B25J15/10
Filed: 1997-07-09
Granted: 2006-10-03
Abstract: This invention provides a finger with three phalanges and three degrees of freedom for a flexible and versatile mechanical gripper which uses only a limited number of actuators. The finger is robust, can provide large grasping forces and can perform power grasps as well as pinch grasps. The mechanism used in the finger has an additional mechanism maintaining the last phalanx orthogonal to the palm in order to allow the gripper to perform pinch grasps on objects of different sizes. For purposes of fine control, tactile sensors as well as potentiometers are included in the finger. The mechanical gripper designed using these fingers allows the stable grasping of a wide class of objects while specifying only two coordinates (the force or position for closing the whole finger and the orientation of the finger) for each of the fingers.      The mechanical gripper has three fingers and three phalanges per finger. When performing a grasp, the fingers will progressively envelope the object to be grasped and eventually reach a static equilibrium.      Underactuation between the fingers of the gripper is also possible.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système conçu pour supprimer un inconvénient des terminaux mobiles du procédé dans lequel un vibrateur séparé classique est utilisé, c'est-à-dire les opérations erronées du vibreur. Le système comprend des terminaux de communication mobiles capables de communiquer avec d'autres terminaux par radiocommunications alors qu'ils sont en mouvement; des dispositifs périphériques conçus pour exécuter des opérations prédéterminées par radiocommunications entre les terminaux mobiles et les dispositifs périphériques. Pour la radiocommunications entre les terminaux mobiles et les dispositifs périphériques, l'appareil utilise le multiplexage par répartition dans le temps qui consiste à échanger des signaux par transport de données dans des tranches de temps. Dans le multiplexage par répartition dans le temps, les terminaux mobiles utilisent des tranches de temps de bandes temporelles autres que celles utilisées par les terminaux mobiles pour envoyer des signaux radio aux stations de base et pour envoyer des signaux radio aux dispositifs périphériques. Ainsi, les terminaux mobiles peuvent envoyer des signaux radio aux dispositifs périphériques sans que les signaux radio envoyés par les terminaux mobiles aux stations mobiles ne créent de parasites.
