Title: Liquid metal heat conducting member and integrated circuit package incorporating same
Inventor: LAYTON WILBUR TERRY
IPC: H01L23/36
Filed: 1994-03-24
Abstract: An integrated circuit package (10) has an integrated circuit chip (11), a substrate (12) which holds the chip, and a novel heat conduction mechanism (15) which is coupled to the chip (11) and which provides a path (through 13 and 14) for conducting heat from the chip to a fluid medium. This heat conduction mechanism is characterized as including (a) a compliant body (15b), having microscopic voids throughout, which is disposed in and fills a gap (G) in the heat conducting path, and (b) a liquid metal alloy (15b) that is absorbed by and partially fills the microscopic voids of the compliant body. Due to the presence of the liquid metal alloy, the thermal conductivity through the body is high. Also, due to the voids in the body being only partially filled with the liquid metal alloy, the body can be compressed by dimensional variations within the integrated circuit package without squeezing out any of the liquid metal alloy that is held therein.
Patent CA-2161909-A1 (CA)
Title: Synchronization of mailboxes of different types
Inventor: BRUNSON GORDON RICHARDS
IPC: H04M3/53
Filed: 1995-11-01
Abstract: The contents of a pair of mailboxes (21, 31), one of which resides in an e-mail system (29) and the other of which resides in a voice-mail system (39), are automatically synchronized both in message content and in message state by a synchronizer (10), even though messages in the two mailboxes may have different data structures and carry information expressed in different media and having different formats. Synchronization is effected by automatically creating a corresponding message in one mailbox for every message that arrives in the othermailbox of the mailbox pair. If the corresponding me ssage does not contain all of the information carried by the original message -- for example, because some information in the original message is expressed in a medium or has a format that is incompatible, or cannot be made compatible by conversion, with the other system -- a partial-copy indication (217) is raised for the corresponding message, and thebehavior of synchronization is altered to protect th e original message contents. The behavior of synchronization may also be tailored to accommodate automatic message expiration, or to synchronize message-header notifications only.

Patent CA-2188794-A1 (CA)
Title: Headset for Electronic Stethoscope
Inventor: SAVAGE GARRY
IPC: A61B7/04
Filed: 1995-04-21
Abstract: The headset comprises left and right elongate ear pieces having respective first ends to receive ear tips and respective, interconnected second ends. Each ear piece includes a one-piece elongate body made of flexible and resilient material and curved outwardly to skirt round the user's head when the ear tips are applied to a user's ears. The elongate body is formed with a first length of smaller cross section and therefore of greater flexibility proximate the second end of the corresponding ear piece and with a second length of lower flexibility situated between that first length and the corresponding ear tip. Bending of the elongate bodies when the ear pieces are spread apart is therefore concentrated in the first lengths and pressure applied to the user's ears by the ear tips is mainly produced by the bent first lengths and transmitted to the ear tips through the second lengths of lower flexibility. The elongate ear pieces have respective second end sections assembled laterally adjacent to each other, and a threaded sleeve is mounted on these laterally adjacent second end sections and is rotated and displaced longitudinally to adjust the level of pressure applied to the user's ears by the ear tips.

Title: Active fixation medical electrical lead having improved turning tool
Inventor: BRENNEN KENNETH R
IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 1997-01-09
Abstract: An active-fixation medical electrical lead having an improved turning tool. In particular, the lead has a fixation helix attached to a coiled conductor, the coiled conductor is attached at the opposite end ~o a connector assembly. The coiled conductor is covered by an insulative sheath between the fixation helix and the connector assembly. Mating with the connector assembly is the improved turning tool. The turning tool features essentially three components: housing, roller assembly and header.      Housing is shaped so as to frictionally couple with a sealing ring of the connector assembly while permitting a connector pin of the connector assembly to extend therethrough and into roller assembly.     Through such a combination the roller assembly may be rotated relative to housing thereby causing connector pin to rotate relative to sealing ring and thus extend or retract a fixation helix. Header further permits a stylet to be guided through turning tool and remain within lead while in use. Ultimately such a device permits a physician to extend as well as retract a helix with only one hand.
