Title: Freight rail wheelset handling & storage protection
Inventor: PORTO JOSEPH A
IPC: B61D45/00
Filed: 2001-07-11
Abstract: This invention relates to methods that can be used for the safe storage and transportation of freight rail wheelsets. The object of this invention is to prevent the direct contact between the roller bearings or axle and the adjacent wheelset flange. To do this at storage sites the application of a roller bearing or axle protector to the present wheelset stacking arrangement is required. During transportation this objective is achieved by (a) applying roller bearing protectors, (b) applying axle protectors, (c) shifting the wheelsets on the wheel transporter so that roller bearing and adjacent wheel flange never come in contact, (d) applying wheelset stoppers and/or axle spacers.

Title: Test for oxidative stress using cell suspensions
Inventor: LAMB ROBERT G
IPC: G01N33/50
Filed: 1999-06-23
Abstract: This invention provides means of measuring oxidative response of cells without recourse to preparation of cell culture. The process consists of: 1) preparing suspensions of cells from a living host in isotonic solutions, 2) preparing samples of test materials in isotonic solution containing tagged choline, 3) adding the cells suspension prepared in step 1 to the samples prepared in step 2, 4) incubating the product of step 3 with shaking for 2-90 minutes, 5) extracting and drying the lipid phase from the product of step 4, and 6) measuring the choline that has been incorporated onto PC in the product of step 5. An increase in incorporation of choline into PC in the short term indicates oxidative stress of free radical induced damage. Because the method of the invention using the cell isolates does not require the expense of cell culture with concomitant expense and possibility of cell change, it is particularly useful for clinical evaluation. Furthermore, the ability to use erythrocytes for study of cellular response to oxidative stress makes it possible to test individual responses of patient using part of the blood sample drawn routinely for laboratory use.

Title: Methods and apparatus for cardiac valve repair
Inventor: POWELL FEROLYN T
IPC: A61B17/068
Filed: 2000-04-07
Abstract: The methods, devices, and systems are provided for performing endovascular repair of atrioventricular and other cardiac valves in the heart. Regurgitation of an atrioventricular valve, particularly a mitral valve, can be repaired by modifying a tissue structure selected from the valve leaflets, the valve annulus, the valve chordae, and the papillary muscles. These structures may be modified by suturing, stapling, snaring, or shortening, using interventional tools (30, 36, 56) which are introduced to a heart chamber. Preferably, the tissue structures will be temporarily modified prior to permanent modification. For example, opposed valve leaflets may be temporarily grasped and held into position prior to permanent attachment.

Patent CA-2370624-A1 (CA)
Title: Modular structure
Inventor: LAZERMAN LEON
IPC: A63H33/04
Filed: 2002-01-25
Abstract: This invention is a modular device that uses permanent-magnets and electro-magnets to hold their position and reconfigure their position. The device has a variety of possible sizes, shapes and forms but all use the same principle of "complementary geometry". In its simplest form it could be used as a child's toy. A dozen or so 3"  blocks with only permanent-magnets and using this "complementary geometry" system, would allow the most uncoordinated child a frustration free assembly of their building blocks, because the blocks would literally slide into place. In a more complex example: the device could be used as a digital display. By having a matrix of devices with permanent & electro-magnets, and with different colored sides, one could display charter of text by electronically rotating specific blocks in the matrix to create the pattern of a letter(s). With the same principle and using a larger matrix it is possible to display real life images.   In an even more complex example of this invention: this modular structure could transform itself from one shape to another, only by using the same principles as the said digital display. Electronically the device would morph in three dimensions. In conjunction with a CAD system, this Modular Structure with a matrix of thousands of tiny blocks would be a new type of rapid prototyping system for Industrial Designers.

Abstract: A digital hearing aid is provided that includes front and rear microphones, a sound processor, and a speaker. Embodiments of the digital hearing aid include an occlusion subsystem, and a directional processor and headroom expander. The front microphone receives a front microphone acoustical signal and generates a front microphone analog signal. The rear microphone receives a rear microphone acoustical signal and generates a rear microphone analog signal. The front and rear microphone analog signals are converted into the digital domain, and at least the front microphone signal is coupled to the sound processor. The sound processor selectively modifies the signal characteristics and generates a processed signal. The processed signal is coupled to the speaker which converts the signal to an acoustical hearing aid output signal that is directed into the ear canal of the digital hearing aid user. The occlusion sub- system compensates for amplification of the digital hearing aid user's own voice within the ear canal. The directional processor and headroom expander optimizes the gain applied to the acoustical signals received by the digital hearing aid and combine the amplified signals into a directionally-sensitive response.
