Title: Electrosurgical instrument and method of use
Inventor: SHADDUCK JOHN H
IPC: A61B18/18
Filed: 2003-01-22
Abstract: An electrosurgical medical device and method (Fig. 8A) for creating thermal welds in engaged tissue. In one embodiment, at least one jaw of the instrume nt defines a tissue engagement plane carrying a conductive-resistive matrix of a conductively-doped non-conductive elastomer. The engagement surface portions thus can be described as a positive temperature coefficient material that ha s a unique selected decreased electrical conductance at each selected increase d temperature thereof over a targeted treatment range. The conductive-resistan ce matrix can be engineered to bracket a targeted thermal treatment range, for example about 60 ~C. to 80 ~C., at which tissue welding can be accomplished. In one mode of operation, the engagement plane will automatically modulate a nd spatially localize ohmic heating within the engaged tissue from Rf energy application-across-micron-scale portions of the engagement surface (155A). I n another mode of operation, a conductive-resistive matrix can induce a "wave" of Rf energy density to sweep across the tissue to thereby weld tissue.</SDO AB>
Patent CA-2474372-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HARTMANN CLINTON S
IPC: H04L25/49
Filed: 2002-12-26
Abstract: A method for transmission of data is presented, wherein a variant of pulse position modulation is employed, which allows on the one hand more than one pulse position to be active in every time period, thus increasing the number of possible combinations and consequently the number of bits that can be coded per time period, and on the other hand a reduction of the time period for a given number of pulse positions, by allowing a high degree of overlapping between the pulses in adjacent pulse position due to the introduction of a phase shift between them which serves as a parameter to better distinguish between two high overlapping pulses with reduced detection margin. An embodiment of the method presented considers the possibility of limiting the pulse positions that can be active simultaneously to non-adjacent positions with a distance that can be a function of the aforementioned phase difference.

Patent CA-2474952-A1 (CA)
Title: A one-step assay for high-density lipoprotein cholesterol
Inventor: ARTER THOMAS CHARLES
IPC: C12Q1/60
Filed: 2004-07-16
Abstract: Disclosed is a method for quantifying cholesterol in high-density lipoproteins in a single step assay using a dry slide. The method for quantifying cholesterol in high-density lipoprotein comprises a first step of adding a sample onto a multi-layered dry slide wherein at least one of the layers contains phosphotungstic acid and another contains a high-density lipoprotein selective surfactant. The phosphotungstic acid precipitates non-high-density lipoproteins while the high-density lipoprotein selective surfactant only solubilizes high-density lipoproteins and does not solubilize non-HDL precipitated complexes. The cholesterol esterase then reacts with the solubilized HDL cholesterol esters to form cholesterol. Finally the cholesterol in the high-density lipoprotein is detected and quantified.
