Patent CA-2490948-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CORTONA ELENA
IPC: B66B7/02
Filed: 2004-12-20
Abstract: The present invention automatically detects the onset of instability of the active ride control system and activates to system shutdown if this happens. As an elevator car (1) is guided along rails (15) by guide elements (6), a plurality of sensors (11,12) mounted on the car (1) measure vibration transverse to a direction of travel. The signals from the sensors (11,12) are input to a controller (19) which in turn produces a controller output signal (F). This signal (F) is used to energise an actuator (10) positioned between the car (1) and the guide elements (6) and thereby dampen the vibrations acting on the car (1). As instability sets in, a controller signal (F a) increases. This controller signal (F a) is monitored by a comparator (28) such that the actuator (10) is deactivated if the controller signal (F a) becomes greater than a predetermined value (F a max)

Title: Process for producing a flat panel radiation detector and a flat panel radiation detector
Inventor: NAGAFUNE NOBUYA
IPC: H04N5/32
Filed: 2005-05-25
Abstract: Because a restricting plate 27 is disposed using a spacer 25, an upper plate 15 is allowed to expand upward when resin is injected, but unnecessary overexpansion is restricted by the restricting plate 27. Therefore the injection of a slightly larger amount of resin 37 does not cause a distortion or breakage of the upper plate 15 and a large amount resin 37 than the predetermined amount may be injected. As a result, damage to the upper plate 15 by the injection of the resin 37 and damage to the upper plate 15, the exfoliation of the radiation sensitive layer, and the like caused by the curing of the resin 37 may be prevented and damage to the flat panel radiation detector 1 may be prevented thereby.

Abstract: The present invention provides methods and apparatus in which a surgical retractor (10) comprises a plurality of mechanically coupled tissue retaining walls (32, 34) that are guided into position along one or more guides previously implanted into the patient. The walls (32, 34) are preferably coupled by pivots (36), so that separating some of the walls (32, 34) from one another opens an operating space. There are preferably two guides (172), which are driven or screwed into the pedicles of vertebrae, or other bone. Since practical considerations will usually mean that the guides (172) are not generally parallel to one another, the guides (172) are capable of polyaxial movement with respect to the pedicles, and retractor (10) is provided with oversized channels to receive the guides (172). The channels (26) may be conveniently disposed in a frame (20), which also serves to hold lock the walls (32, 34) apart. Various convenience features are contemplated including a web (12) disposed between the walls (32, 34), which expands as the walls (32, 34) are separated. Also contemplated are projections from near the bottoms of one or more of the walls (14), which can alternatively or additionally help to hold the underlying tissue in place.

Title: Intensity control for massage devices
Inventor: DEHLI HANS
IPC: A61H7/00
Filed: 2004-05-06
Abstract: An air-tight foam-filled bladder is used for varying massage intensity in a massage chair, massage mat, or other massage device. The bladder may be compressed from a default or relaxed thickness by evacuating air from the bladder. The thickness of the foam-filled bladder may be reduced to a collapsed thickness in which the foam is compressed within the bladder. In use, the foam-filled bladder is placed proximate a conventional fixed massage mechanism in a massage device, such as in the back rest of a massage chair. By controlling the amount of air evacuated from the bladder, the intensity of the massage is controlled by varying the amount of pressure exerted by the fixed massage mechanism on the user. In the case of a massage chair, the user may advantageously sit back in the chair without discomfort when the user does not want a massage, and may control the intensity of the massage provided by the chair. In another embodiment, an active pump may be used to inflate one or more bladders that may or may not include a foam insert. The number, size and location of the bladders may be varied in any of the embodiments.
