Abstract: The pedicle screw system may be used for fixation of spinal segments and may be advantageous when minimally invasive surgery (MIS) techniques are employed.  The pedicle screw system includes a tulip assembly comprising of a tulip body, a inner member, and an expansion member. Installation of the pedicle screw system into pedicles of the spine, for example, includes inserting the pedicle screw into a portion of the spine and then coupling the tulip assembly to the pedicle screw. The tulip assembly may be locked onto the pedicle screw before a distraction rod is placed in the tulip assembly. After the rod is placed in the tulip assembly, the tulip body and the inner member can be rotated relative to one another to lock the rod into the tulip assembly. In addition, the relative rotation may also provide additional locking of the tulip assembly to the pedicle screw.

Title: Multi-party transaction processing system and approach
Inventor: HAHN-CARLSON DEAN W
IPC: G06Q40/00
Filed: 2005-12-27
Abstract: Transaction management for processing payment-related aspects of transactions is facilitated. According to an example embodiment of the present invention, a transaction management approach involves the automatic processing of payments to multiple parties with payment chains extending through intermediary sellers. In some instances, an intermediary seller contracts with a buyer for goods and/or services, and further contracts with one or more performing sellers (e.g., suppliers) for the provision of the goods and/or services. In these instances, funds designated to the buyer (e.g., from a buyer's account or credit line) are transferred to the performing seller or parties in a manner commensurate with the contract between the intermediary seller and the performing seller or sellers. Additional funds are transferred from the buyer to the intermediary seller commensurate with the contract between the buyer and the intermediary seller, less any amount paid to the performing seller or sellers for a particular transaction.

Patent CA-2601906-A1 (CA)
Title: Internal nasal dilator filter
Inventor: MICHAELS ROBERT C
IPC: A61F9/00
Filed: 2006-03-17
Abstract: A device combining internal nasal filtration and internal nasal dilation operating synchronously provides air filtration by retaining particulate in a single piece foam nasal filter during inhalation through the nose. Internal nasal dilation is provided by the effect of a resilient member (20) adhesively affixed to the nasal foam filter elements (12) and which when bent from a planar surface applies outward biasing forces to each nostril so that breathing is facilitated. The soft, gentle foam of the nasal filter distributes the biasing forces over a large area and protects the inside of the nose from irritation. An improved internal nasal dilator filter functions to provide increased air flow through dilation while removing various sizes of particulate through filtration.

Abstract: [PROBLEMS] Although fucoxanthin extracted from wakame (Undaria pinnatifida) is efficacious as an agent having an antiobesity activity, fucoxanthin is contained in only a small amount in a matured brown alga body and, therefore, it takes a long time and a large cost to obtain a practically usable amount of fucoxanthin. Moreover, it has been required to develop an agent having an enhanced antiobesity activity. Thus, it is intended to specify a carotenoid having a stronger antiobesity activity than fucoxanthin and provide an agent having an antiobesity activity and a method of inhibiting obesity by using the same. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] As the results of intensive studies for finding a carotenoid having a stronger antiobesity activity than fucoxanthin and a material for economically obtaining the same, it is found out that these problems can be solved by using ascidian. Ascidian is a general name involving marine animals belonging to the phylum Chordata, the subphylum Urochordata, and the class Ascidiacea and these animals widely occur throughout the country. Fucoxanthinol is extracted from, in particular, the internal organs and shell of ascidian and it is clarified that this substance has a strong antiobesity activity.

Abstract: The Modular Barge invention is a superior floating platform. The Modular Barge unit is safer, lighter, more adaptable to different work requirements, easier to transport, launch, recover, more cost effective, made from more readily available materials, and stronger than other barge designs. The Modular Barge units are connected by a unique mechanism whose shear capacity exceeds the load capability of the barge system, even when multiple units are combined to support loads of one million pounds. The construction of the unit permits wave actions to permeate through the barge instead of stressing joints between multiple units. The platforms join together in different configurations as required. This includes using them as building blocks to make long floating roads to cross lakes and muskeg or barges capable of transporting heavy loads. Modular barges are also ideal for construction platforms. These platforms are used for excavating, drilling, craning, pumping, dredging, environmental monitoring, and other work that requires a solid floating platform. Modular barges are also ideal for supporting floating buildings that are required for pump houses, outfalls, and other industrial tasks. The inventor has 20 years experience working with old style barges in the oil sands, refinery, pulp and paper, power, and government sector. The modular barge is a better solution to complete many barging tasks in those industries.

Patent CA-2622265-A1 (CA)
Inventor: NICHOLSON KIT
IPC: F03D11/04
Filed: 2006-09-22
Abstract: The Kitepower Generator uses one or more kites that go through a oscillating cycle of motion creating varying forces on their tether lines. These varying forces are converted into rotation, using a crankshaft. The cycle of motion may be driven by the inherent kite design or through the action of two or more tether lines connected to a crankshaft. The pull from the lines is stronger when they pull out and weaker when they are being pulled in. The cycle of motion may involve flapping, swirling, waving, swooping, veering or feathering. Several kites may be connected or combined into a single composite kite. Efficiency is higher with three or more lines so that one is always pulling out strongly. Various techniques keep kites aloft in still or stormy weather.
