Patent CA-2628239-A1 (CA)
Title: Implant and method for manufacturing such an implant
Inventor: MEUZELAAR BOB
IPC: A61F2/30
Filed: 2006-11-07
Abstract: In the case of people with a worn or otherwise damaged hip an implant can be arranged surgically. The average lifespan of these implants amounts at the moment to about 15 to 20 years. This means that many people must usually undergo a second, relatively serious operation, wherein the implant is replaced. The lifespan of the second implant is generally shorter than the lifespan of the first implant. In addition, bone loss occurs in the detaching process. A third operation to replace a worn second implant is generally relatively difficult, and sometimes even impossible. The invention relates to an improved implant. The invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such an implant.

Abstract: The toy block cube filling puzzle consisting of a cube container made of thin wall transparent material with a one opening. A kit of 40 blocks split into 2 groups the first group consisting of 8 blocks equal in size and shape with 4 equal sized faces.  The second group consists of 32 blocks each having one face equal in size and shape to a face from the first group. When 8 blocks from the first group are assembled with one vertex of each block meeting at the center of the cube container the remaining blocks can be used to completely fill the cube without voids. By abutting 8 blocks from the second group with one vertex from each block all meeting at the said center the remaining 32 blocks can completely fill the cube again.

Title: Methods and apparatus for measuring collagen thickness
Inventor: MORSE ROBERT
IPC: A61B5/107
Filed: 2008-09-18
Abstract: A camera (1) is provided which is operable to obtain a RGB and infra-red image of an area of illuminated skin (2). The obtained image is then passed to a computer (8) which determines the manner in which light returned by points on the surface of the illuminated area of skin (2) appearing in the obtained image varies due to variations in lighting intensity and surface geometry. The infra-red channel of the obtained image is then normalized on the basis of the determined variations and a measurement of collagen thickness can then be determined utilizing the processed infra-red channel of the obtained image. The determination of variations in intensities of light returned by points on the surface of the illuminated area of skin (2) can be achieved by processing an obtained image to generate a 3-D model of the surface being imaged and using the 3-D  model to select and process pre-stored lighting level data. Alternatively variations in intensities of light can be determined by processing an obtained image to determine measurements of the concentrations of chromophores in the skin. A derived image of the expected appearance of the skin can then be generated and the manner in which light intensities are non-uniform can then be determined by comparing this derived image with the original obtained image.

Abstract: An overall method of making engineered strand wood products in relation to a number, of different possible criteria is provided. Such a method may involve any combination of different screening procedures to determine the best wood sources from which individual strands may be prepared. Such screening procedures may include initial determinations of certain physical characteristics of individual logs, further or initial determinations of certain physical characteristics of portions of sawn logs, further or initial determinations of certain physical characteristics of individual strands, and any combinations thereof. Additionally, after the initial physical characteristic sorting is completed, optionally the wood may be cut into uniformly sized and shaped strands for incorporation within a target strand product. Still further, such strands, in substantially uniform size and shape, as well as substantially uniform physical characteristics, may then be incorporated into a target strand product in specific predetermined configurations.. Such various possible combinations of screening procedures and/or selective stranding processes results in strand products (boards, lumber, and the like) of improved properties over previously made strand products. Thus, encompassed within this invention are processes involving each of these procedures either individually or in combination with other sequential processes for the production of desired strand products.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and a system for controlling floor heating or climate regulating systems with long time constants. According to the invention, a flow of a fluid is provided through the floor or through a similar medium with large thermal inertia. An induced heat is determined by adding up a plurality of differences between an inlet temperature of the fluid when it enters the medium and an outlet temperature of the fluid when it leaves the medium. The temperatures are sampled with a fixed sampling time and within a fixed period of time, and a corresponding change in temperature of the medium over the fixed period of time is determined. In the future, the temperature of that medium is controlled by use of a ratio between the induced heat and the change in temperature.
