Patent CA-2662785-A1 (CA)
Title: Implants with transition surfaces and related processes
Inventor: DEES ROGER RYAN JR
IPC: A61F2/38
Filed: 2007-09-05
Abstract: Implants, and processes for installing them, which replace the medial condyle and portions of the patellofemoral channel but preferably not portions of the lateral condyle that articulate relative to the tibia. Processes are provided which allow proper location and orientation of an anterior resection and a distal resection on the femur, which make use of a transition point which can be designated on the bone, for navigating proper positioning of such implants. Proper positioning of the implant relative to the femur for insuring a smooth transition between lateral portions of the implant and the lateral condyle is thus reduced to determining proper medial / lateral location of the implant on the anterior and distal resections. Such implants and processes can allow, among other things, for controlled location and orientation of an implant on the bone which saves lateral compartment bone, which eliminates the need to sacrifice the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments, and which is adapted for minimally invasive surgery with its attendant benefits.

Title: System and method for optimizing location estimate of mobile unit
Inventor: CARLSON JOHN
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2008-01-14
Abstract: The location of a wireless mobile device may be estimated using, at least in part, one or more pre-existing Network Measurement Reports ('TSfMRs") which include calibration data for a number of locations within a geographic region. The calibration data for these locations is gathered and analyzed so that particular grid points within the geographic region can be determined and associated with a particular set or sets of calibration data from, for example, one or more NMRs. Embodiments of the present subject matter also provide a method of improving a location estimate of a mobile device. Received signal level measurements reported by a mobile device for which a location estimate is to be determined may be evaluated and/or compared with the characteristics associated with the various grid points to estimate the location of the mobile device.

The container has a pair of opposing heads and a wall section between the heads, the wall section defini ng a square cross-section comprising substantially planar sides joined toget her by rounded corners. The container is designed for the side walls to defl ect outwardly while under pressure, but to be supported externally by a supp ort system that restricts outward expansion of the side walls. The support s ystem can be provided as the walls of a cargo hold in a marine or land trans port vessel, an ISO shipping container or an underground shaft. Multiple con tainers can be located side by side in the external support system so that t he sides of adjacent containers rest against each other for support while un der pressure. In one embodiment, a container comprises an outside tank and a flexible membrane tank inside the outside tank, an annular space being defi ned in between, where a first fluid is charged into the membrane tank and a second fluid is charged into the annular space in order to discharge the fir st fluid. In another embodiment, a long tube having a square cross-section i s coiled in a support structure and made gas-tight for holding a compressed fluid. The walls of the tube would tend to expand while under pressure, but adjacent coils and the support structure limit the expansion.
