Title: Detection circuitry for surgical handpiece system
Inventor: DONOFRIO WILLIAM T
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2001-10-17
Abstract: Various circuit configurations for use in switch assembly used in a surgical hand piece system are provided. The circuit configuration provide a number of functions such as permitting the presence and direction of conductivity to be detected. The circuit configurations also provide a means for detecting and measuring the degree of influence of debris which is located between the conductive members of the handpiece.

Patent CA-2387129-A1 (CA)
Inventor: STAKELY BARRY L
IPC: H03L7/085
Filed: 2000-11-07
Abstract: A phase/frequency detector includes two D-Q flip-flops (102, 104), an OR gat e (106), and an exclusive NOR (XNOR) gate (108). The phase/frequency detector is used in conjunction with a clock dejitter PLL where the underflow and overfl ow flags from a FIFO are coupled to the inputs of the OR gate and the Q outputs  of the flip-flops are coupled to the inputs of the XNOR gate. When the phase  is locked, the output of the XNOR has a 50 % duty cycle which causes the voltage across the filter to remain constant which maintains a steady VCXO output frequency. The FIFO will either underflow or overflow if the recovere d clock and the VCXO run at different speeds. In this case, the flip-flops generate correction pulses that will drive the PLL filter voltage to the poi nt where the VCXO is running at the correct frequency.

Title: Method and apparatus for the estimation of the anesthetic depth using wavelet analysis of the electroencephalogram signals
Inventor: DUMONT GUY A
IPC: A61B5/04
Filed: 2002-07-12
Abstract: The preferred embodiments proposes a method and apparatus to monitor the hypnotic state of a patient under-going general anesthesia. The methodology of the present invention may also be used to discriminate between different sleep stages, predict the duration of ECT induced seizures, and awareness levels in subjects performing safety critical activities. It can also be used to monitor the changes in the cerebral metabolic rate. The index of hypnosis disclosed herewith (i.e. the WAVelet index) has the advantage of reacting within one second to changes in the patients hypnotic state. Based on wavelet decomposition and statistical analysis, the computa-tional complexity of the algorithm is low, making it implementable on a microprocessor. The proposed method is a single descriptor of the activity of the EEG signal within the gamma frequency band. Neither a large subject pool nor extensive database of clinical EEG data are needed for tuning the index.

Patent CA-2422823-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROUSSY RICHARD BRIAN
IPC: A61G7/05
Filed: 2001-09-28
Abstract: A vertically adjustable mechanical bed consisting of a bed frame for support of a mattress and occupant attached to moveable leg means powered by a motor means. Operation of the motor means causes a bearing block attached to the leg means to move longitudinally along a guide rod means, thereby collapsing the leg means beneath the bed and moving the bed frame vertically. Collapsing the bed to its substantially lowermost position causes the bearing block to engage a spring, thereby compressing said spring between the bearing block and a transverse member of the bed frame. The energy stored by the compression of the spring is used to raise the bed from its substantially lowermost position.  Pivotally attached to the leg means is a rolling means consisting of a caster and foot arrangement. During normal operation, the foot is firmly engaged with the floor surface. When the bed frame moves to its substantially uppermost position, a pin extending from the leg means and constrained in a slot on a flanged face of the rolling means engages one end of the slot, thereby causing the rolling means to pivot and the caster to engage the floor, rendering the bed horizontally mobile.
