Patent CA-2694649-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MATEESCU DANIEL
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2010-02-25
Abstract: Various methods, apparatuses and systems for supporting polymorphic elements at run-time in portable computing devices are provided. One embodiment includes a development tool that can be incorporated into an integrated development environment. (IDE) The development tool is configured to detect when a programming instruction corresponding to a polymorphic element is received.  Upon such detection, the developer operating the IDE is prompted to provide specific mapping information such that an application that is finally generated using the IDE avoids or reduces the use of polymorphic elements and thereby reduce computing resource stresses on the device on which such an application is ultimately deployed.
Patent CA-2695413-A1 (CA)
Title: Injection device
Inventor: JENNINGS DOUGLAS IVAN
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2008-07-28
Abstract: An injection device comprises a locking-mechanism in the form of two buttons (17) located on the front end of the injection device. In an engaged position, the locking mechanism prevents removal of a cap (111) from the injection device and, in a disengaged position, prevents movement of a syringe carrier (127) holding a syringe but permits removal of the cap from the housing. This assists in preventing damage to the syringe prior to actuation of the injection device.

Filed: 2008-11-14
Abstract: Techniques for combating high interference in a dominant interference scenario are described. A terminal may observe high interference from an interfering base station in a dominant interference scenario. In an aspect, high interference may be combated by reserving time intervals for a serving base station. The terminal may communicate with the serving base station in the reserved time intervals and may avoid high interference that may desensitize a receiver at the terminal. In one design, the terminal may measure received power of base stations and may report its interference condition. The serving base station may receive a report from the terminal, determine that the terminal is observing high interference, and send a reservation request to the interfering base station to reserve time intervals. The interfering base station may grant the request and return a response. The serving base station may thereafter communicate with the terminal in the reserved time intervals.

Inventor: NEUBERGER WOLFGANG
IPC: A61B18/18
Filed: 2009-03-02
Abstract: An improved method and device is provided for safe and efficient low power density endoluminal treatment of ve-nous insufficiency. One such device emits pulsed or continuous energy radially through an optical fiber end with a conical shaped tip for 360° radial emission. In some embodiments, a conical reflective surface is distally spaced opposite to and faces the emitting tip for enhancing radial emission efficiency by reflecting out any designed or remnant forwardly transmitted energy in radial direc-tions. Other devices include flat emitting faces sealed within protective, radiation transparent covers. Laser radiation is transmitted at a wavelength and power such that is it substantially entirely absorbed within the blood vessel wall to sufficiently damage the intravascular endothelium and, in turn, achieve blood vessel closure. Because the energy is substantially entirely absorbed within the blood vessel wall, the need for a local anesthetic along the treatment area of the blood vessel may be substantially avoided.
