Title: Sediment collection header apparatus
Inventor: LAIDLAW PATRICK
IPC: B01D21/24
Filed: 2000-11-28
Abstract: A header conduit assembly for a sediment collecting apparatus includes a tubular member having a plurality of mutually spaced (suction) orifices disposed in a linear array extending parallel to an axis of the tubular member. The conduit assembly further includes at least one elongate deflector member mounted to the tubular member in effective proximity to at least some of the orifices to guide sediment toward the orifices during a sediment evacuation process. Preferably, the deflector member extends parallel to the axis of the tubular member. Inasmuch as the tubular conduit member extends perpendicularly to a direction of movement of the conduit assembly on the floor of a clarification basin or tank, the deflector is oriented orthogonally to the path of the conduit assembly.

Title: Wind-resistant sweep lock
Inventor: TIMOTHY E ERIK
IPC: E05B17/20
Filed: 2001-02-09
Abstract: A sweep lock locking the check rails of an upper and lower sash improves window resistance to negative wind force. The lock accomplishes this by a cam with a locking rim that extends both upward and downward to engage cam receiver projections above and below the locking rim to lock along two vertically separated locking lines, which tends to resist sash tilting from vertical as sash are deformed in response to negative wind force. Preferred embodiments of a cam lock and mounting hub include a two-piece hub that snaps together within a rotational opening of the cam lock to form a subassembly ready for mounting.

The template may have a low-tack adhesive coating on one side, or a depilatory coating, or one of each on both sides of the substrate. When used for eyebrow shaping, the adhesive side is adhered to the skin, and colouring is applied through the opening. When used for waxing, the depilatory coating is applied to the region around the shape of the eyebrow to be left after the depilation procedure. The depilatory coating may be a heat-activated composition, or a pressure-activated composition. The templates may be provided in pairs, in rolls of groups of pairs.
Patent CA-2342779-A1 (CA)
Title: Liner retainer assembly
Inventor: LEMAN THOMAS
IPC: F04B53/16
Filed: 1999-08-31
Abstract: The liner retainer assembly includes a cylinder that is mounted on a module of the fluid end of a pump. The cylinder has an aperture for receiving a liner and a retaining piston. A retaining nut is secured on the end of the retaining piston and engages one end of the liner.  The retaining piston forms a fluid cavity and a spring cavity within the cylinder. The spring cavity houses a plurality of springs which bias the piston, retaining member, and liner towards the module, thus providing a resilient securing force. The fluid cavity communicates with a supply of hydraulic fluid for biasing the piston away from the module to relieve the springs. By pressurizing the fluid cavity, the springs are compressed to disengage the retaining member from the liner and allow the unthreading of the retaining member and then the removal of the liner.

Title: Modiolar hugging electrode array
Inventor: BLUGER HENRY V
IPC: A61F11/04
Filed: 2000-08-17
Abstract: A multi-bipolar configured electrode array and means to uniquely position said array within the scalae of the human cochlea is described. Said array is inserted into the scala tympani, scala vestibuli or both, by a surgeon. The electrode array may be pre-formed to lightly hug the modiolar wall of a scala so as to position the electrodes in close proximity to the cochlear spiral lamina and spiral ganglia in the modiolus. Mechanical features within said array allow the surgeon to further position said array against the modiolar wall of the scala, post insertion, and to mechanically retain such positioning of said array. Such positioning is in close proximity to surviving neural sites in the spiral lamina and/or spiral ganglion cells in the modiolus to efficiently stimulate functioning auditory neural elements. The multi-bipolar electrode configuration achieves a high degree of spatial selectivity, thus improving the implantee's speech percepts.

Title: Dispositif de respiration artificielle et son procede d'utilisation
Inventor: MONGEON DOUGLAS R
IPC: A61M16/04
Filed: 2000-06-21
Abstract: Cette invention concerne à un dispositif de respiration artificielle servant à faciliter la ventilation pulmonaire chez un patient inconscient, et des procédés d'utilisation et d'introduction dudit dispositif de respiration artificielle. Ce dispositif comprend un tube respiratoire incurvé mais souple et une partie masque. Une partie ouverture du masque est conçue selon une forme lui permettant de s'adapter étroitement sur l'ouverture du larynx du patient. Une extrémité d'appui comporte une série d'ailettes minces et souples qui font saillie depuis une partie languette s'étendant à partir de la partie ouverture du masque. Ces ailettes viennent en appui contre le côté pharynx du cartilage cricoïde, juste au-dessus de l'oesophage. La partie masque peut être ancrée contre une surface relativement dure sans endommager le tissu délicat de l'oesophage. L'appui sert de repère pendant l'introduction du dispositif de respiration artificielle afin que l'on puisse s'assurer que la partie masque se trouve dans une position correcte et soit fixée de façon adéquate. Un manchon gonflable sert à maintenir ce dispositif respiratoire en position fixe. Pendant l'introduction du dispositif de respiration artificielle, l'extrémité d'appui avance dans le larynx adjacent au cartilage cricoïde. Lorsqu'on sent une résistance provenant de l'interaction entre l'extrémité d'appui et le cartilage cricoïde, on arrête l'introduction. On tire légèrement le dispositif respiratoire en arrière pour écarter l'épiglotte de l'ouverture du masque, de sorte que le manchon gonflable se trouve juste derrière la luette. Le manchon est ensuite gonflé, et le patient peut être ventilé.
