Patent CA-2379441-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FORSELL PETER
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2000-08-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif servant à former un orifice de stomie, qui s'utilise dans le traitement de l'obésité morbide, de brûlures d'estomac et de maladies de reflux. On forme une boucle sensiblement fermée, à l'aide d'un élément (12) de retenue allongé implanté du dispositif, autour de l'estomac ou de l'oesophage d'un être humain de manière à définir un orifice (16) de retenue, ce qui permet de former un orifice de stomie correspondant dans l'estomac ou l'oesophage. Les dimensions de l'orifice de retenue peuvent être réglées par un dispositif de réglage implanté. Un dispositif de commande (22) est employé pour commander le dispositif de réglage afin de réduire ou d'agrandir l'orifice de retenue. Les nausées chez un patient obèse traité peuvent être réduites au minimum ou pratiquement éliminées grâce au dispositif de commande, qui commande le dispositif de réglage de manière à maintenir l'orifice de retenue presque entièrement ouvert entre les repas (par exemple la nuit, pendant le sommeil). Un capteur (23), tel qu'un capteur de pression ou de position, est implanté par des moyens chirurgicaux dans le corps humain, de manière à pouvoir détecter directement ou indirectement un paramètre physique tel que la pression dans l'estomac ou l'orientation du patient par rapport à l'horizontale. Si le dispositif de commande détermine, en réponse à une détection par le capteur, un changement important du paramètre physique, il règle le dispositif de réglage de manière à réduire ou à agrandir l'orifice de retenue.

Title: Pedestrian navigation method and apparatus operative in a dead reckoning mode
Inventor: LADETTO QUENTIN
IPC: G01C21/16
Filed: 2002-04-22
Abstract: A displacement of a pedestrian is determined from his or her accelerations by detecting accelerations which are substantially non vertical, determining a characteristic feature in the detected accelerations correlated with a step frequency, determining the displacement on the basis of said determined characteristic.      The acceleration data can be submitted to waveform analysis to determine an actualized time interval of an occurring feature, such a maximum values, from which it is determined whether the actualized time period falls within determined limit values. The currently detected characteristic feature is then determined as corresponding to a displacement step if the actualized time period falls within said determined limit value.       By using non-vertical acceleration measurements, the invention can make it possible to distinguish between forward, backward, left and right stepping movements and take these into account for the navigation.

Patent CA-2392270-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WALKER JAMES A
IPC: A61G12/00
Filed: 2002-07-03
Abstract: A modular in-wall medical services unit for medical care facilities. A frame supports a cabinet with a cover panel providing electrical and/or gas outlets. Built-in electrical and gas conduits are included. A junction box and ends of the gas conduits near the top of the frame are accessible after wallboard is applied. Thus, wallboard can be installed before or after wiring is completed and gas connections are made. The self-aligning cover panel is "floatingly" supported on the frame so that a bead of sealant can be applied around the edge before the cover panel is "snugged up" to the wall and secured. The trim flanges on the cover panel include vertical equipment mounting tracks. Manufacturing is simplified by making the height of the frame adjustable; the same frame elements can be used to assemble units for different ceiling heights, decreasing the number of required parts in inventory and expediting assembly.
