Patent CA-2371125-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KUZMA JANUSZ A
IPC: A61N1/05
Filed: 2000-05-12
Abstract: L'invention concerne un réseau d'électrodes conçu pour être implanté dans l'extrémité basale de la rampe tympanique de la cochlée humaine. Selon un premier mode de réalisation, le réseau d'électrodes (10) est constitué d'un support allongé et mince (12) de 6 à 8 mm. de long. Entre quatre et huit contacts d'électrode espacés (14) sont placés le long d'un des côtés plats du support, chacun étant connecté à un câble (22) incrusté dans le support. Les câbles sortent d'une extrémité proximale du support via un faisceau de câbles qui est connecté, à son tour, à un stimulateur cochléaire implantable (ICS) ou à un générateur d'impulsions équivalent. Le réseau d'électrodes (10) est inséré dans la partie relativement droite de l'extrémité basale de la rampe tympanique de la cochlée à travers une petite fente (42) ménagée dans la membrane de la fenêtre ronde qui sépare la cochlée de l'oreille moyenne. La fente est orientée de telle sorte que les contacts d'électrodes sont placés face à la paroi de la columelle (32). L'extrémité proximale du support peut présenter des ailettes (16) ou des dents maintenant le réseau d'électrodes dans la position souhaitée au sein de l'extrémité basale de la cochlée. De telles dents ou ailettes facilitent le scellement du support contre l'ouverture de la fente pour éviter que les liquides ne s'échappent de la cochlée. Ce dernier est rempli d'un fluide qui active les cellules ciliées alors que des ondes fluidiques se forment par le mouvement de la membrane. La stimulation électrique est uniquement acheminée par l'extrémité basale de la cochlée via le réseau d'électrodes pour assurer l'écoute de sons haute fréquence. Une écoute normale (activation des cellules ciliées à travers le mouvement fluidique) se produit au niveau de régions supérieure et moyenne de la cochlée permettant de capter les sons basse fréquence. Selon un second mode de réalisation, on obtient l'électrode (100) en réalisant une petite bille (120) d'environ 0,4 mm de diamètre sur l'extrémité d'un câble souple de platine/iridium (Pt/Ir) très fin (140). Au niveau de l'extrémité proximale du câble, un connecteur adapté (540) assure la connexion/déconnexion du câble à un générateur d'impulsions (500).

Abstract: A hydraulic fluid reservoir and hydraulic pump combination has at least one hydraulic fluid port and includes a container with a hollow body having a top and a conduit having a bottom within the container and a top above the bottom. The conduit has an opening adjacent to the bottom of the conduit. The opening is spaced apart below the top of the container. A closure member is releasably, sealingly connected to the top of the conduit. Hydraulic fluid can be added to the container via the conduit up to the level of the opening of the conduit. Addition of further hydraulic fluid fills the conduit to the top thereof and the conduit overflows if additional hydraulic fluid is added after the top of the conduit is reached by the fluid. Preferably the container has a main interior chamber and a smaller chamber which is adjacent to one of the side walls of the container.  The smaller chamber is has a bottom opening near the bottom of the smaller chamber which communicates with the main interior chamber. Hydraulic fluid enters the smaller chamber through the opening and reaches the level of hydraulic fluid in the main interior chamber. Bubbles in the hydraulic fluid within the main interior chamber are isolated from the smaller chamber and accordingly do not impair the reading of the hydraulic fluid level by a photo detector.

Title: Real time electronic registration of scanned documents
Inventor: ROMBOLA GREGORY
IPC: G06V30/10
Filed: 2001-05-16
Abstract: The registration and skew information of a document about to be scanned are detected prior to capturing the entire image of the document. Two sensors, a fixed distance apart, are used to detect the document skew. A third sensor is used to detect the edge position of the document. Paper sensors in the Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) are used to determine the document size. The data from the skew sensors are used to calculate the required skew correction angle and direction by which to rotate the image. The document edge position information together with skew information is used to determine the exact location of a corner of the document. This information is used to correct skewed image in real-time, during scanning the document.

Title: A dual technology occupancy sensor and method for using the same
Inventor: BALDWIN JOHN R
IPC: H05B37/02
Filed: 2002-05-21
Abstract: A dual technology motion or occupancy sensor, and a method for using the same, to control a lighting circuit to activate and deactivate lights in a monitored area. The sensor employs an infrared energy sensor, a microwave energy sensor, and a controller. The infrared energy sensor outputs an infrared energy detection signal indicative of detection or non-detection of infrared energy, and the microwave energy sensor outputs a microwave energy detection signal indicative of detection or non-detection of microwave energy. The controller outputs a control signal to control activation and deactivation of the lighting circuit in response to a condition of the infrared energy detection signal and a condition of the microwave energy detection signal. Specifically, the controller activates the lighting circuit to turn on the lights in the monitored area when the infrared energy detection signal and microwave energy detection signal indicate occupancy or motion in the monitored area, and maintains the lights in the active state as long as either the microwave energy sensor or the infrared energy sensor sense occupancy or motion in the monitored area.
