Patent CA-2411002-A1 (CA)
Title: Implantable muscle stimulation device
Inventor: BUMM RUDOLF
IPC: A61N1/36
Filed: 2002-10-31
Abstract: A muscle stimulation device has a control unit (1) that determines frequency and/or intensity of electrical impulses in dependence upon the degree of stomach filling. The impulses function to stimulate lower esophageal sphincter (11) by means of stimulating electrodes (5a, 5b, 5c) disposed radially around the sphincter (11). A  computer program, executable by means of a microprocessor (10), is installed in the control unit, the program designed such that a higher stomach filling degree causes a stronger stimulation of the sphincter (11) or its substitute. The sphincter reacts to the stimulation by exerting a corresponding pressure onto a lower esophagus area (12). An increased risk of gastric reflux as a consequence of the patient's substantial food ingestion is countered by an increased stimulation of the sphincter, which in turn causes an elevated closing pressure at the lower esophagus (12). When the stomach is empty or nearly empty, the closing pressure is correspondingly reduced and the food ingestion is facilitated.
Patent CA-2411454-A1 (CA)
Title: Check valve with multiple doors
Inventor: BODNAR BRUCE A
IPC: F16K15/03
Filed: 2002-11-08
Abstract: A check valve having a faceplate and an insert assembly. The faceplate and insert assembly have a stepwise cross-section in the direction of a forward fluid flow through the check valve. The stepwise cross-section is designed for placement of the faceplate and insert into a complementary shaped valve body. The faceplate defines at least two sections through which the fluid flowing through the check valve flows. The moving parts of the check valve, doors and hinges, are mounted on the insert such that the parts are not impacted by the fluid flow, thereby reducing maintenance on the check valve. Maintenance on the check valve can be accomplished by simply removing the faceplate, thereby releasing the insert assembly from the valve body so that the insert assembly can be replaced with minimum downtime to a cooling system having this check valve installed.
