Patent CA-2367460-A1 (CA)
Title: Wound therapy device
Inventor: JOHNSON ROYCE
IPC: A61M27/00
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: A wound closure apparatus is disclosed which includes a housing (10) that contains a vacuum pump, and a chamber for holding a disposable wound fluid collection canister (21). The canister resides within the chamber, and connects at an outlet with the vacuum pump at an inlet with a porous wound pad (36). The pad is placed over or within a wound and adhesively secured thereto. When the vacuum pump activates, it evacuates air from the canister resulting in wound fluids flowing from the wound into the canister. Due to the negative effect that a vacuum can impose on tissue when granulation tissue is pulled into the pad, the pad contains multiple pore sizes to prevent granulation tissue from migrating into the pad. The pad has an outer surface adjacent the wound with pore sizes of a diameter of approximately 100 microns or less to prevent tissue from growing into the pad, and is treated for biocompatibility.

Patent CA-2376396-A1 (CA)
Title: Adjustable dispersion compensators, adjustable optical filters, and control signals and strain applicators therefor
Inventor: BAKER VERNON
IPC: H04B10/18
Filed: 2002-03-12
Abstract: The present specification describes strain applicators, incorporating two actuators having different actuation characteristics acting in cooperation, and their use in adjustable optical filters and adjustable dispersion devices (such as compensators) to controllably strain fibre Bragg gratings to alter their reflectance characteristics.      Preferred examples of the strain applicators are hybrids of a fact response actuator with a slower device, and provide a wide overall range of adjustment with fast response tuning within that range.  The strain applicators are used to provide dither, in particular to provide both in-phase and anti-phase dither of the strains applied to FBGs in a twin-grating compensator.      The in-phase dithering enables centering on an incoming signal to be performed and the out of phase dithering dithers the dispersion, enabling the compensator to track changes in dispersion rapidly, using an appropriately arranged control loop, An improved method of extracting a dispersion error signal from optical signals is also described, based on a simplified spectral analysis of data carried by the signals.
