Patent CA-2428940-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TEVIS CHARLES
IPC: G01F23/26
Filed: 2003-05-20
Abstract: The present invention relates to apparatus for removing grease from an effluent stream containing grease and water. A separation tank defines a separation chamber. An effluent inlet connected with the separation tank permits flow of the effluent stream into the chamber to form a body of effluent in the separation chamber. A  grease depth level sensor is used in determining the amount of grease in the body of effluent.   The interceptor may be queried remotely to check its status. In one embodiment, an output signal indicative of the amount of grease is transmitted over a telephone line to a telephone or computer or other remote station. Alternatively, the output signal is transmitted wirelessly to a remote receiver. The status is preferably also indicated locally with visual and/or audible signals.   The sensor is preferably a capacitive level sensor operative to sense the amount of water in the body of effluent thereby to determine the amount of grease in the body of effluent. The interceptor may include electric circuitry for effecting manual or automatic calibration of the grease depth level sensor. The sensor may be adapted to be retrofitted to an existing tank made from either metal or plastic.

Title: Anvil bridge stent design
Inventor: BONSIGNORE CRAIG
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2004-03-04
Abstract: A stent or other intraluminal medical device may be constructed utilizi ng a series of anvil bridges interposed between a series of fixed bridges to reduce the likelihood of deformation during stent loading and stent deployment without sacrificing overall stent flexibility. The stent comprises a plurality of hoops interconnected by a plurality of fixed bridges. The stent also comprises a plurality of anvil bridges, which transmit forces only when the stent is subjected to compressive axial loading. The stent may also comprise markers formed from housings integral with the stent and marker inserts having a higher radiopacity than the stent. This design provides for more precise placement and post-procedural visualization in a vessel, by increasing the radiopacity of the stent under X-ray fluoroscopy. The housings are formed integral to the stem and the marker inserts are made from a material close in the galvanic series to the stent material and sized to substantially minimize the effect of galvanic corrosion. The housings are also shaped to minimize their impact on the overall profile of the stent.

IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2003-04-29
Abstract: A removable semi-insulating sheet (34) for use in self-limiting electrosurgical return electrode for electrosurgery. Through the selection o f impedance characteristics for the electrode materials of the principal body of the semi-insulating sheet, and through tailoring of semi-insulating sheet geometries, the return electrode of the present invention is self-regulating and self-limiting as to current density and temperature rise so as to preven t patient trauma. The semi-insulating sheet has an effective bulk impedance equal to or greater than about 4,000 ohm-cm. The effective bulk impedance of the sheet may rise from resistive components, capacitive components, inducti ve components, or combinations thereof. The configuration of the presently described return electrode allows the electrode to self-limit the electrode' s current densities, thereby preventing burning of a patient during surgery.</ SDOAB>

Abstract: The invention relates to a circuit with a variable rotational speed to be us ed particularly in a wind power plant, comprising a double fed asynchronous generator (DASM), a crow-bar, an additional resistor (R15) and a converter. In order to meet the requirements of the network provider, whereby a particular ly permanent coupling to the network should be ensured so that the wind power plant can start up and stabilize the network during and after medium voltage short circuit in the network, the additional resistor can be regulated with the aid of a fast switch in such a way that the converter can be provisional ly disconnected at least partly in case of a short circuit in the network. The rotor current is momentarily assumed by the additional resistor and disconnected after the rotor short circuit current dies out so that the converter can be subsequently connected once again and so that it can supply the desired active short circuit current to the network.
