Patent CA-2668529-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BULL DAVID A
IPC: A61M1/12
Filed: 2007-11-05
Abstract: A biologic ventricular assist device that also has the capability to capture, grow, and administer stem cells to regenerate and restore damaged myocardium in the heart. The device works in conjunction with a traditional ventricular assist device and possesses an additional external path or tube that is in-line with the path of the ventricular assist device. The external path allows for the administration of stem cells, genes, genetically modified cells or other therapeutic biologic or pharmacologic agents, as well as leading to a stem cell collecting accessory (14) that captures circulating stem cells. The stem cell collecting accessory is also associated with a chamber (39) for culturing the captured stem cells. The cultured stem cells can be delivered back to the heart by an electro-mechanical or ultrasound/echocardiographic delivery system that runs through the external path back into the ventricular assist device and allows for the delivery of the stem cells, or other therapeutic biologic or pharmacologic agents, directly into the internal chambers of the heart. Administering the stem cells, genes, genetically modified cells or other therapeutic biologic or pharmacologic agents, either alone or in combination, to the heart allows the myocardium to regenerate and repair itself even while the heart is attached to the ventricular assist device, ultimately allowing the heart to regenerate, recover and allow the VAD to be removed.

IPC: G16Z99/00
Filed: 2009-06-30
Abstract: Disclosed is a clinical diagnostic analyzer employing a redundant error detection capability to further examine the internal message traffic for possible errors or questionable results by comparing the actual parameters against a fingerprint generated for each assay using an assay database and a configuration file. This testing does not rely on inputs from the software module being tested, and hence is an independent test. Further, a testing mechanism is provided to test the Redundant Error Detection ("RED") capability itself.

Title: Flight motion simulator
Inventor: HOLLOWAY GEORGE E
IPC: G09B9/12
Filed: 2007-12-07
Abstract: A flight motion simulator includes a pitch frame pivotably mounted, and nested for pitching in a roll frame. The roll frame is pivotally mounted to, and nested for rolling in, a base frame. The roll frame and pitch frame are rotatable in unison so as to simulate a roll of an aircraft relative to the base frame. The pitch frame is rotatable relative to the roll frame so as to simulate a pitch of the aircraft relative to the roll frame. A control stick is pivotably mounted to the base frame and pitch frame for controlling and actuating the pitch and roll. A first coupler having at least two degrees of freedom is rotatably mounted to the lower end of the control stick and to the pitch frame. A second coupler also having at least two degrees of freedom is rotatably mounted to the control stick at a lower mid-section thereof to an upper end of a post mounted to the base frame. This aids the pilot in actuating pitch and roll as the control stick provides mechanical advantage to the pilot providing manual inputs to the upper end of the control stick. The two degrees of freedom of the first and second couplers include rotation about a longitudinal axis and rotation about a lateral axis.

Title: Dynamic order workflow template instantiator tracking system
Inventor: GANDINI STEFANO
IPC: G06Q10/00
Filed: 2009-08-25
Abstract: An application integration system includes multiple aspect task tracking. Such tracking may include an external identifier aspect of tracking tasks by highly configurable external identifiers. Another aspect, an error aspect, includes tracking errors that occur as the target systems attempt to execute tasks, and categorizing those errors into groups. The multiple aspect tracking provides detailed insight into the status of each task, helping to solve the technical problem of implementing orderly execution of complex product requests while maintaining a transparent view of execution status at each stage of task execution. The multiple aspect task tracking features also eliminate the burden of manually searching through complex log files to determine task status. Furthermore, the distinction of errors into groups facilitates customized handling of different types of errors. Accordingly, the system may implement different error resolution paradigms responsive to the error group assigned to an error.

Title: Maturation or ripening inhibitor release from polymer, fiber, film, sheet or packaging
Inventor: WOOD WILLARD E
IPC: A01P21/00
Filed: 2010-02-05
Abstract: Thermoplastic polyolefin polymer compositions, polymer chips, fibers, woven or nonwoven fabrics, films, closures, and laminates include a polymer and cyclodextrin compound with a volatile-naturation inhibitor or an olefinic ethylene receptor antagonist in respiring produce materials. The polymer composition can also include a cyclodextrin-modified polymer or a substituted cyclodextrin. Olefinic ethylene inhibitors can be formed in the cyclodextrin composition, wherein the cyclodextrin releases the olefinic inhibitor composition when used in produce packaging materials. Coating compositions can also be made. The inhibitor is introduced into the materials and is released under controlled conditions of humidity. Upon release, the olefinic inhibitor blocks ethylene receptor sites on proteins that control maturation and can produce an extended period during which the produce does not substantially complete maturation or ripening to a degree leading to spoilage.

Patent CA-2695783-A1 (CA)
Inventor: EVANS WAYNE ERROL
IPC: G05B23/02
Filed: 2008-08-12
Abstract: A near real-time system and method for continuous online monitoring of a plurality of operations in a continuous chemical process facility is described.   The method of monitoring the operations is based on a multivariate statistical model developed using off-line, selected process-specific historical process data. Such a model is used by an online monitoring system to monitor the continual operation of a chemical manufacturing facility or refinery in real-time from a remote location. Such real-time monitoring allows for determination of whether one or more of the plurality of operations are operating within their normal operational parameters. This real-time, continuous monitoring system can further be used to predict impending failures or trouble-spots within the continuous production process, or to minimize catastrophic process failures which may occur in a continuous chemical manufacturing process. Process variables, or "tags", that are most likely related to predicted process failures can be identified by the model system, such that appropriate control actions can be taken to prevent an actual process failure occurrence, which can lead to costly production down times.
