Patent CA-2578569-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JACKSON ROGER P
IPC: A61B17/56
Filed: 2005-04-21
Abstract: A polyaxial bone screw assembly includes threaded shank body integral with an upper capture structure and head having an inner cavity for receiving the capture structure. The capture structure threaded and the head includes a threaded opening for rotatable assembly with the capture structure and eventual locking frictional engagement between the capture structure and the head. The head has a U-shaped cradle defining a channel for receiving a spinal fixation rod. The head channel communicates with the cavity and further with the threaded opening that allows for loading the capture structure into the head but prevents pushing or pulling of the capture structure out of the head.  The capture structure and the head provide a ball joint. A tool is also provided.

Title: Cell measuring method
Inventor: NITTA NAO
IPC: G01N33/48
Filed: 2005-12-07
Abstract: A technology capable of measuring cell-related reactions at a time within a wide range of concentration. Cell groups (200) are disposed in a cell-storing space (110) filled with liquid (120). A specific substance is supplied to the liquid in the cell-storing space (110) to form in the liquid (120) the concentration gradient (131) of the specific substance (130) extending from one end (111) of the cell-storing space (110) toward the other end (112). The cell groups in the cell-storing space (110) is picked up by an imaging device (320) and captured into an information processor, and image obtained by the information processor is divided into a plurality of regions along the above concentration gradient, feature amounts are extracted from image portions in respective regions, and information indicating the interrelation between the extracted feature amounts and the concentration gradient is created.

Title: Optimized overhead sectional door panel, astragal receiver and associated method
Inventor: LEIST ALAN R
IPC: E05D15/16
Filed: 2005-11-10
Abstract: A panel (14) for an overhead sectional door (10) offers increased performance and economy by optimizing the panel skin (38, 42, 50, 52). The upper and lower structural rail areas (46, 48) which typically mate with corresponding lower and upper rails (48, 46) of an adjacent panel (14) have thicker skin (38, 42, 50, 52). The non-structural areas or the front face of the panel (14) in one embodiment has a thinner skin (38, 42) which is typically embossed with a wood grain or other pattern. The structural rail areas (46, 48) which have the thicker skin (50, 52) add rigidity and resistance to deflection from wind loads and similar dynamic forces. The overhead door panel (14) with differing performance characteristics for specific portions of the skin (38, 42, 50, 52) may be utilized with a variety of rail configurations (46, 48) such as a lap joint, tongue and groove joint, and convex/concave joint between adjacent panels (14). In another aspect, a specific bottom rail section (48) using the variable thickness concept avoids the need for an astragal retainer thereby providing a cost savings while offering structural and strength benefits.
Patent CA-2587783-A1 (CA)
Title: Exercise equipment
Inventor: FAKTENMARK AKE
IPC: A63B23/12
Filed: 2005-12-07
Abstract: This invention concerns exercise equipment, intended for training upper body mussels by imitating the movement that is conducted in conjunction with paddling. The exercise equipment is equipped with a moveable handle that is connected to at least one energy-accumulating unit. The energy-accumulating unit is preferably comprised of an elongated elastic element consisting of a stretchable material. When using the exercise equipment the handle is moved in the axial direction of the equipment thereby accumulating energy in the energy-accumulating unit. Through the continuing motion the accumulated energy is released from the elongated elastic element and thereby returned to the person exercising. Use of the exercise equipment in accordance with the invention is a more effective way to develop upper body muscles than using traditional walking poles. Furthermore, a positive side effect is created when tensions on leg muscles are reduced.

Abstract: In a data reproduction device, it is possible to reproduce stream data according to a time stamp even without using a particular clock for counting.  In step (S141), it is judged whether a received access unit has a time stamp.  When the access unit has a time stamp, step (S142) sets the value of the time stamp (PTS). When the access unit has no time stamp, step (S144) ads the value decided by the previous pic_struct to the current time. After this, in step (S143), the pic_struct of this time is stored for the next processing. The present invention may be applied to a game device using a DVD, for example.

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for molding and filling a container having a container body defining an opening in communication with an interior chamber for receiving a substance therein, and a stopper receivable within the opening for sealing the opening and substance received in the container. A barrier enclosure defines an aseptic chamber. A mold includes within the aseptic chamber plural mold cavities shaped to form the stopper and container body, and substantially sterile surfaces extending about and contiguous to the peripheries of the mold cavities. An assembly device including end-of-arm tooling having an engaging portion engageable with each of the container body and stopper is movable relative to the mold to engage and de-mold the substantially sterile stoppers and container bodies from the mold cavities. A  source of sterile air is in fluid communication with the aseptic chamber and directs a flow of sterile air into the aseptic chamber and over the sterile surfaces of the mold for maintaining the sterility of the mold surfaces and stopper and container bodies during demolding thereof. First flexible barriers are coupled to the mold between the sterile surfaces and the molding machine to substantially prevent the passage of contaminants from the molding machine therethrough. A second flexible barrier is coupled to the tool between the engaging portion and a base portion of the tool to substantially prevent the passage of contaminants from the base portion of the tool therethrough. A  needle filling and thermal resealing station is configured to receive the sealed, empty sterile containers, needle fill the interior chambers of the containers, and thermally reseal resulting needle holes in the stoppers.
Patent CA-2601610-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KORTOVICH JAMES WILLIAM
IPC: C01B31/02
Filed: 2006-02-22
Abstract: A method of forming a graphitic carbon body employs compression and resistance heating of a stock blend of coke and pitch. Preferably, the stock includes raw coke, high melting point pitch, and carbon fibers derived from pitch.  Optionally, the stock may also include calcinated coke, graphite, carbon fibers, coal tar or petroleum pitch, or coking catalysts such as sulfur.  During molding of the body, resistance heating is accompanied by application of mechanical pressure to increase the density and carbonization of the resulting preform body. The preform is then subjected to a graphitization temperature to form a graphitic carbon body, such as a graphite electrode or pin. Optionally, after hot-pressing, the preform electrode or pin may be subjected to one or more densification steps employing a carbonizable pitch to further increase the density of the preform prior to the graphitization step.
