Abstract: This invention relates to a method of catheter and radiating coil location in a human body and in particular to the determination over time of the location of the tip of a catheter as it is inserted and during its use in the body. In particular when a radiating coil is used in conjunction with a catheter, a coil locating device can be used to determine the distance the coil is from the device and hence its depth in the body of a patient. To assist a clinician using the coil-locating device, a display is provided that shows both a reference image of a part or portion of a body (non-subject body) and an image of the coil located on the display with reference to the reference image. This is achieved by locating the coil-locating device on or over a predetermined landmark on the patient's body. The coil and its associated signal wires can be incorporated into a stylet, guide wire or a catheter. The coil locating device has a preferable triangular shape in plan view that allows it uppermost apex to be orientated towards the head of the patient and for an axis of the device to be aligned with the mid sagittal plane of the patient. Preferable landmarks on a human body include the xiphoid sternal junction and the caudal/mid sagittal aspect of the jugular sternal notch.

In another embodiment the resiliently compressible dielectric layer(s) have a textured surface;  either at the valve seat, the valve seal or at both surfaces. In another embodiment of the invention a pressure-relieving aperture is defined within the substrate and is positioned to underlie the moveable membrane.
Patent CA-2421980-A1 (CA)
Title: Electro-optic modulator with resonator
Inventor: DAVIES ROBERT J
IPC: G02F1/035
Filed: 2003-03-12
Abstract: An electro-optic modulator structure for particular use in narrowband optical subcarrier systems. A traveling wave is established across the active region of the device, instead of a standing wave. This is accomplished through the use of a directional resonator structure that prevents reverse-traveling waves from being established within the resonator. Hence, the electric field is applied to the traveling optical wave in a similar fashion to a traveling-wave modulator, except that the traveling wave has a much greater amplitude due to the buildup of energy inside the resonator. Since the modulator is operated in a traveling-wave fashion, it can be tuned to operate at any frequency using tuning elements, regardless of the length of the active region. Furthermore, the microwave and optical signals can be velocity-matched to mitigate optical transit time effects that are normally associated with a resonant modulator utilizing a standing-wave electrode structure.

Abstract: The present invention involves a four (4) wheel trolley used in a track and trolley system which allows the trolley to move smoothly along a track, bear and carrying heavy movable wall panels, and minimize the stacking depth of the movable wall panels when such panels are stored. The trolley includes trolley discs that define an outer circumferential groove. The outer circumferential grooves allow the trolley discs to maintain a lubricant reserve so that the trolley discs may move smoothly along the track. While the trolley may carry heavy loads, because of its relatively small size, the trolley minimizes the stacking depth of movable wall panels in their storage positions.

Abstract: In a packet communication network in which the minimum guaranteed rate and the maximum limit rate are contracted, flows of received packets are classified into a group 1 of flows in which the transfer rate is below the least guaranteed rate, a group 2 of flows in which the transfer rate is not smaller than the least guaranteed rate and below the maximum limit rate, and a group 3 of flows in which the transfer rate exceeds the maximum limit rate. A packet of group 1 is transferred prior to a packet of group 2, and the packet of group 2 is transferred prior to a packet of group 3. Thus, it is possible to redistribute a surplus zone easily and impartially while guaranteeing the transfer rate of the least guaranteed rate or above.
