Patent CA-2431855-A1 (CA)
Inventor: COMBS WILLIAM J
IPC: A61B5/366
Filed: 2001-11-08
Abstract: An algorithm is implemented in a circuit for sensing P-waves in a pacemaker to ensure ventricular pacing synchronization with sensed atrial depolarization waves. VDD and VDDR pacing (atrial synchronized, ventricular inhibited pacin g) are implemented via a single standard ventricular pacing lead (unipolar or bipolar) and preferably a subcutaneous electrode array (SEA). Specifically, an implanted ventricular lead provides ventricular pacing and ventricular sensi ng while the SEA enable atrial sensing, thus eliminating the need for an implanted atrial lead or a specialized single pass VDD lead. The algorithm manages the sensed cardiac waves to effect a desired pacing regimen based on  the input from the single lead and SEA.

Abstract: The invention is a method for detecting whether an organism is homozygous or heterozygous in a target nucleotide. The method combines hybridization of two differently labelled probes A and B on either side of a restriction site, restriction endonuclease digestion, and detection of the labels in the resulting digest. If an organism is: homozygous then the labels will be present in the ratio 1:1 or 1:0; or if heterozygous then the labels will be present in the ratio 1:2. Either immobilized array technology or electrophoretic separation may be used.

Title: Method and device for locating and cutting out concentrations in a gel
Inventor: HOCHSTRASSER REMO ANTON
IPC: G01N27/447
Filed: 2003-06-23
Abstract: For the separation of gel pieces from a gel cutting (27) it is necessary firstly to determine the position of the gel piece, e.g. by means of a scanner, and after an interval, which frequently lasts for some hours, to pick the gel pieces from the gel cutting (27). The gel cutting (27) must be stored in a gel holder (21) during this interval in an expansion-stable and positionally stable manner. For this purpose the gel cutting (27) is held in the gel holder, floating in an equilibrating liquid (31). The equilibrating liquid causes the dimensions of the gel cutting to remain unchanged during the interval. With respect to the gel holder (21) the gel cutting (27) can be definitively positioned in that it is cut out so as to fit exactly in a chamber (24) of the gel holder (21), possibly being slightly larger than the chamber, and/or is held by a clamping device firmly in the edge region which is generally of no significance for the evaluation. Using this holding method the separation of gel pieces from the gel cutting (27) can be conveniently carried out by means of a tubular removal means which is pushed through the gel, since the gel cutting is not connected to the gel holder (21) over its surface but rather floats on a thin layer of equilibrating liquid (31).

IPC: E05F1/02
Filed: 2002-02-21
Abstract: L'invention concerne un meuble de rangement (10) doté d'un dispositif de portes à contrepoids (22), lequel est constitué d'une porte supérieure (30), disposée entre des bras pivotants (28) et combinée à une porte inférieure (34) située également entre des bras pivotants (32). Une liaison (27) relie les bras supérieurs et inférieurs pour synchroniser le mouvement des portes supérieure et inférieure entre les positions ouverte et fermée. Un élément d'équilibrage (52,84) provoque l'ouverture des portes supérieure et inférieure. En effet, cet élément d'équilibrage, qui peut être un ressort (52), aide les portes supérieure et inférieure dans leur mouvement d'ouverture, puis il les maintient ouvertes. Lorsque les portes sont fermées, le poids de la porte supérieure (30) et une partie avant des bras supérieurs (28) servent à surmonter la force de sollicitation du ressort (52), afin de maintenir les portes supérieure et inférieure fermées.
