Patent CA-2611052-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARUNA KATSUTOSHI
IPC: H04L12/66
Filed: 2007-11-19
Abstract: A data relay unit capable of relaying data communication between first and second networks interchanging different structures of data, a gateway and a method are provided. An identifier is assigned to transmission data and reception data exchanged in a GW unit. A data conversion section specifies a conversion process using reception data for generating transmission data for each transmission data piece identified by an identifier and uses a conversion table to store conversion processes. The data conversion section can generate intended transmission data based on an identifier of the transmission data to be transmitted by selecting and executing a necessary conversion process from the conversion table. Even when a method of generating transmission data is added or changed, it is only necessary to add or change a conversion process in the conversion table.

Patent CA-2622715-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAUCK JOHN A
IPC: A61B5/05
Filed: 2006-09-12
Abstract: A method for scaling the impedance measured during the course of an electrophysiology study accounts for impedance drifts. By scaling the impedance there is greater assurance that previously recorded positional information can be used to accurately relocate an electrode at a prior visited position. The scale factor may be based upon a mean value across several sensing electrodes (e.g., 12, 14, 16, 17, 18, 19, or 22). Alternatively, the scale factor may be calculated specifically with respect to an orientation of a dipole pair of driven electrodes (e.g., 12, 14, 16, 17, 19, 19, 22).

The kit of tools consist of, carrying case, pliers , flat top screwdriver, 60 degree angle gauge, ratchet, and all of the sizes of brooming tools to fit any and all wire rope and cable ends . These tools will be used before the open and closed spelter socket, open and closed swage socket, etc., are installed. The process will be to slide the brooming tool down over the lays of the wire rope and or cable, and turn (spin) the tool in the unwind direction until every strand is separated to the designated length or seized location.  Tools range in size to accommodate all sizes of wire rope and cable that require their end broomed. The brooming tool is made out of hollowed pipe in a variety of sizes to accommodate any and all sizes of wire rope/ cable lays, with a wedged shape insert (fig 8), it's this insert that clinches the lays so that they can be unwound in a way that speeds up the process.
