Patent CA-2552971-A1 (CA)
Inventor: RODD AARON
IPC: A61B5/15
Filed: 2005-01-21
Abstract: A blood collection device comprises an open ended syringe like housing (10) into which a vacutainer can be inserted. The front of the device contains a needle holder (11) and a double ended needle (12). The needle holder can be decoupled from the housing and retracted into the device but only after the vacutainer (13) has been removed and a separate needle retraction device (28 ) has been inserted into the open end of the housing and pushed against the inner end of the needle holder. The needle retraction device comprises a hollow body which is under vacuum and which has an open end closed by a pist on (5). The piston functions to decouple the needle holder from the blood collection device and lock the needle holder and at the same time to be decoupled from the hollow body. The piston containing the needle holder and the attached contaminated needle is sucked back into the hollow body to rend er the needle safe.
Patent CA-2553000-A1 (CA)
IPC: A47K3/02
Filed: 2006-06-27
Abstract: The typical Cast Iron or replica Claw Foot Bath tub typically involves the mounting of Brass, Iron or other metal type legs to support the tub. In this invention, Fibreglass or other composite materials are utilized in such a way as to provide a leg "shell", resembling their metal forbearers. Since the strength of the composite leg is not sufficient to support the tub's weight, especially when full of water and occupants, a metal inner leg is incorporated, which when installed on the tub will both provide sufficient strength for the tubs support, but also allow for the attachment of the composite leg as a cosmetic feature without discounting the integrity of the inner legs support requirements.     Additionally, the inner support is produced in such a manner so that it will accept a variety of composite leg designs or styles, or allow for changes using a different style of leg treatment depending on customer needs and desires.
Patent CA-2557965-A1 (CA)
Title: Procedures and equipment for profiling and jointing of pipes
Inventor: SIMPSON NEIL ANDREW ABERCROMBI
IPC: B21D39/10
Filed: 1999-12-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for shaping pipes, tubes, liners, or casing at downhole locations in wells. Use is made of rollers bearing radially outwards against the inside wall of the pipe (etc.), the rollers being rolled around the pipe to cause outward plastic deformation which expands and shapes the pipe to a desired profile. Where one pipe is inside another, the two pipes can be joined without separate components (except optional seals). Landing nipples and liner hangers can be formed in situ. Valves can be deployed to a selected downhole location and there sealed to the casing or liner without separate packers. Casing can be deployed downhole in reduced-diameter lengths and then expanded to case a well without requiring larger diameter bores and casing further uphole. The invention enables simplified downhole working, and enables a well to be drilled and produced with the minimum downhole bore throughout its depth, obviating the need for large bores. When expanding lengths of casing, the casing does not need to be anchored or made pressure-tight. The profiling/expansion tools of the invention can be deployed downhole on coiled tubing, and operated without high tensile loads on the coiled tubing.

Patent CA-2561012-A1 (CA)
Inventor: GEORGE CHRISTOPHER
IPC: G01L25/00
Filed: 2005-04-21
Abstract: A system and method for equilibrating and calibrating a pressure or force sensor is provided. The system includes a flexible bag arranged to receive the sensor, and a vacuum source, connectable with the flexible bag, adapted to reduce the pressure within the flexible bag. By reducing the pressure within the flexible bag, such that the pressure inside of the bag is less than the pressure outside of the bag, the resultant uniform pressure acting on the sensor is used to calibrate and equilibrate the sensor. The system may include a porous material in the flexible bag to facilitate the evacuation of air from within the flexible bag as the pressure is reduced. The system may also include an opening, such that when the sensor is placed in the bag, a portion of the sensor extends outside of the bag to communicate with a controller. The opening may be provided either on the flexible bag, or on a clamp attached to the flexible bag. The system and method for calibrating and equilibrating a sensor may be employed to correct for sensor variations and/or to correlate sensor output to force or pressure.

Title: Fluid cosmetic dispenser
Inventor: TAVARES DA SILVA REGINALDO ALE
IPC: A45D34/04

Abstract: In cosmetic dispensers for fluids, such as for example deodorants or antiperspirants comprising a bottle, a flow regulator in a housing mounted on the bottle and a cap rotatably mounted on the bottle or particularly onto the flow regulator housing, there is a risk that the housing can part from the bottle or be moved out of alignment by fitting or removal of the cap. This problem can be ameliorated or eliminated by employing a plurality of sets of anti-rotation elements at or adjacent to the mouth of the bottle around its periphery, each set comprising a peg and a socket. Preferably, the housing is bifurcated inward of the flow regulator, one wall extending within the bottle and the other wall extending out side the wall, and desirably the bottle wall is of reduced wall thickness in the overlap so that the exterior of the bottle surface and housing surface can be flush at their line of contact.
