Patent CA-2512445-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAEGG CONNY
IPC: B01D33/23
Filed: 2004-01-12
Abstract: A filter sector (1) for use in rotary disc filters for separating pulp suspensions comprises opposite filtration walls (2) of a substantially rigid, wherein a filtrate chamber (4) is formed between the filtration walls for receiving filtrate that has flowed through the filtration walls. Each filtration wall is profiled to form a multiplicity of cavities (5) and humps (6), and each cavity and hump, respectively, includes a multiplicity of meshes of the net. The provision of cavities and humps increases the effective filtering area of the filter sector, which results in increased capacity of the filter sector.

Patent CA-2516260-A1 (CA)
Inventor: THOMPSON DAVID L
IPC: A61N1/365
Filed: 2004-02-12
Abstract: The invention is directed to elements implantable in a human body, such as sensors, that receive power from an implantable motion-powered energy source.  The motion-powered energy source generates electrical energy by converting mechanical energy in the form of motion into electrical energy. The electrical energy, which may be stored in a storage element, powers the element. The motion-powered energy source may include a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) accelerometer that generates electrical energy in response to motion.  In one embodiment of the invention, a motion-powered energy source disposed proximate to a heart may convert some of the mechanical energy of the heart to electrical energy, which powers the element.

IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2004-04-30
Abstract: Absorbable polyester fibers, braids, and surgical meshes with prolonged strength retention have been developed. These devices are preferably derived from biocompatible copolymers or homopolymers of 4~-hydroxybutyrate. These devices provide a wider range of in vivo strength retention properties than are currently available, and could offer additional benefits such as anti-adhesion properties, reduced risks of infection or other post-operative problems resulting from absorption and eventual elimination of the device, and competitive cost. The devices may also be particularly suitable for use in pediatric populations where their absorption should not hinder growth, and provide in all patient populations wound healing with long-term mechanical stability. The devices may additionally be combined with autologous, allogenic and/or xenogenic tissues to provide implants with improved mechanical, biological and handling properties.

Title: Fluid sample analysis using class weights
Inventor: CHAPOULAUD ERIC
IPC: G01N15/14
Filed: 2004-05-24
Abstract: Most automatic particle classification methods produce errors. The invention provides a method for improving the accuracy of particle classification while shortening the amount of manual review time required from the operator. The method uses class weights, which are statistically-derived correction factors that accounts for frequency of classification errors. A first class weight and a second class weight are assigned to the first class and the second class, respectively. The number of particles in each of the first and the second classes is multiplied by the first class weight and the second class weight, respectively, to generate a corrected number of particles in each of the classes. If particles are reclassified, the class weights are recalculated in response to the reclassification. The method is usable with a complete classification where all the particles in a sample are classified, or a selective classification of a subset of the particles in the sample.
