Inventor: VIDUGIRIS GEDIMINAS
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2003-02-18
Abstract: A method and system for providing point-of-sale and point-of-delivery and/or distribution of products in a restricted access unit near the customer. The method and system utilize products equipped with radio frequency tags and reduce the effects of energy sharing, shadowing, and nulls. In one embodiment, a plurality of RF tagged products are placed within a refrigerator, cabinet, or other micro-warehouse that has a door or opening that can detect access to the micro-warehouse. In one embodiment, one or more antennas are positioned within the door. Each antenna may have a transmission line of sight and be configured to emit a signal at predefined frequencies. Each antenna generates an electromagnetic field within the micro-warehouse. In one embodiment, the products are positioned in one or more bins, compartments, or similar devices located within the micro-warehouse such that at least two of the plurality of products are spaced a distance from each other to reduce energy sharing. The electromagnetic field is moved or altered within the micro-warehouse through the use of reflectors, devices that move the antennas, or other mechanisms.

Abstract: A closed loop feedback drug delivery system for controlling muscle activity, e.g., spasticity. The system includes a sensor, e.g., an EMG sensor, for monitoring muscle activity and generating a detected muscle activity signal. A controller automatically adjusts at least one of timing and dosage of a drug administered to control muscle activity based on the detected muscle activity signal and produces a control signal. Administering of the drug, e.g., an antispasmodic drug, for controlling muscle activity based on the control signal is performed by an infusion pump. The drug after being emitted from the pump is then delivered to the spinal cord of the patient using an intrathecal catheter.

Patent CA-2492530-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HEATON TIMOTHY L
IPC: F28F9/26
Filed: 2003-07-15
Abstract: A duplex exchanger (22) includes first and second heat exchangers (24, 26) each including a main flow channel (28, 32) and a cooperating counterheat channel (30, 34). The first counterheat channel (30) is joined to the first main flow channel (28) for receiving a cooled primary stream (18) therefrom.  The second counterheat channel (34) is also joined to the first main channel (28) splitting the primary stream therefrom. An evaporative coolant (38) is injected into the first counterheat channel (30), and an evaporative saturant (38) is injected into the second counterheat channel (34). Heat from the initially hot primary stream (18) in the first exchanger (24) evaporates the coolant in the first counterheat channel (30) for self-cooling the primary stream in the first main channel (28). Heat from a hot secondary stream (20) channeled through the second main channel (32) evaporates the saturant in the second counterheat channel (34) for adding mass to the primary stream channeled therethrough.
Patent CA-2493267-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KRYWITSKY LEE A
IPC: E21B29/08
Filed: 2003-09-11
Abstract: A fluid system component is provided that is implemented as a section of metal pipe having a predetermined wall thickness and including a sacrificial element intended to preferentially fail upon the occurrence of certain predefined conditions.    The sacrificial element takes the form of a window of predetermined geometry that covers an opening defined in the wall of the pipe. The window is configured to have a thickness substantially less than the wall thickness of the pipe, but nonetheless sufficiently great that the window remains materially unaffected by normal system operating conditions to which it is exposed. When the window is exposed to a pressure differential of predetermined magnitude, typically much greater than normal system operating pressures, the relatively thin window ruptures and permits the pressurized material, either inside or outside the pipe, to flow through the rupture.

Title: External support for restoring competence to venous valves by traction of their intercommissural walls
Inventor: CAMILLI SANTE
IPC: A61F2/07
Filed: 2005-02-04
Abstract: External support for restoring valvular competence to veins, to be implanted about a vein (V), along its length. It includes a posterior and an anterior arcuate frame shell, in an elongated material. The posterior frame shell (1) includes two branches (2, 3) of said elongated material penetratingly shaped for an easy insertion thereof behind the posterior wall of the vein (V), through two paths prepared by the surgeon. Each frame shell (1, 2) includes a respective traction side including longitudinal rectilinear side traction branch means (5, 5'; 5A, 5' A). The two frame shells (1, 2) are conformed to be juxtaposed to each other about the vein (V) by longitudinal sides thereof. The traction sides are intended to be engaged to the vein (V) by opposite valve intercommissural walls (iw2, iw2) by means of surgical sutures (s1, s2) or hook means to dilate the intercommissural diameter of the vein by traction, so as to absorb the slackening of an incompetent venous valve by extending its cusps (c1, c2).

Inventor: DRALLE KIM
IPC: A01G23/00
Filed: 2003-08-27
Abstract: A method for tracking and measuring volume, shape and surfaces of objects, such as logs, simultaneously. In series of load and unload operations along a procurement line, series of images are captured by e.g., CCD stereo cameras with sufficient spatial resolution capabilities. Simultaneously, the locatio n of objects (logs) are registered by a GPS system aiding the tracking of the objects. The load and unload operations are typically performed by machineri es such as harvesters, forwarders or trucks all equipped with a crane. On such machines digital cameras are mounted on jib arms and a computer system is attached. A GPS system is mounted on the machines too and the computer syste m is attached here as well. Thus the real time processing of stereo images can be accomplished and the volume, shape and surface of the 3D objects are computed simultaneously with their location in space. The resulting data are sent to a central database that keeps track of objects and their locations. These data are then again available for the following step in the procuremen t line as "a priory" information , facilitating the computation of the size, shape, surface and location of logs (objects) at the current load/unload operation. A chain of information provided by this invention will profoundly increase efficiency of any production chain subjectable to the presented method.

Title: Enhanced iodine treatment of drinking water
Inventor: SHANBROM EDWARD
IPC: C02F1/42
Filed: 2003-05-20
Abstract: A mixed bed of iodine source/iodine capture resin provides high flow rates that are useful for treatment of water. The ratio of source/capture resin can be adjusted to meet the goals of the system. If insufficient iodine is being provided, the source resin amount can be increased relative to the capture resin. If excess iodine or iodide are found in the treated water, the capture resin amount can be increased relative to the source resin. The release of iodine from the source resin and its effectiveness can be significantly enhanced by using a mixed bed system in which one or both of the source and the capture ion exchange resins have had their exchange sites saturated with the anion of an organic acid such as citrate and/or isocitrate. This significantly increases the amount of iodine released into aqueous solution and enhances the disinfecting power of that iodine.

Title: Method for predicting drug metabolizing activity by analysis of glucuronosyltransferase gene mutation
Inventor: YAMAMOTO KAZUO
IPC: C12N9/10
Filed: 2003-02-13
Abstract: An object of this invention is to provide a method for assaying, predicting or assessing drug metabolism by effectively detecting (a) mutation (s) in a gene coding for UGT. A gene coding for UGT comprises 5 exons, and since the regions of exons 2 through 5 are common to each isoform of UGT1, by assaying a mutation in the common regions, particularly a mutation in exon 5 region, and further adding the detection of (a) mutation(s) in a plurality of exon regions, mutations of UGT1 gene can effectively assayed.  A nucleic acid chip using nucleic acid probes is used as a way of detecting (a) mutation(s).
