Patent CA-2364972-A1 (CA)
Inventor: CRAWFORD JAMIESON WILLIAM MACL
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2001-12-13
Abstract: An automatically shieldable blood collection set is provided. The blood collection set includes a needle assembly having a hub with inner and outer tubes. A needle cannula is fixedly attached to the inner tube. The outer tube is split longitudinal, and a first spring biases the slit into an open orientation. A safety shield is telescoped between the tubes to the hub and the needle cannula and can be moved from a proximal position where the needle cannula is exposed to a distal position where the needle cannula is safely shielded. A second spring is provided between the shield and the hub to propel the shield distally relative to the hub and into surrounding relationship with the needle cannula. However the outer tube can be biased against forces of the first spring to slit and clamp the shield in a fixed position.

IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 2000-07-28
Abstract: A prosthesis and a method for repairing a tissue or muscle wall defect, such as an inguinal hernia, near a cord-like structure, such as the spermatic cord. The prosthesis comprises a layer of repair fabric having a cord opening therethrough that is adapted to receive the cord-like structure when the prosthesis is implanted at the repair site. The prosthesis also includes a cord protector that is attachable to the repair fabric at the opening to isolate the cord-like structure from the fabric in proximity to the opening. The repair fabric may be formed from a material which is susceptible to the formation of adhesions with sensitive tissue and organs. The cord protector may be formed from material which inhibits the formation of adhesions with sensitive tissue and organs. The cord protector may overlie a portion of at least one of the first and second surfaces of the repair fabric. The cord protector may extend substantially farther away from the opening edge on one of the first and second surfaces than on the other of the first and second surfaces. The cord protector may be configured as an insert that is separate from and attachable to the repair fabric. Alternatively, the cord protector may be integral with the repair fabric to form a composite prosthesis.

Title: Device and method for underskin laser treatments
Inventor: DEL GIGLIO ANTONIO
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2000-07-07
Abstract: The present invention describes a device, a method for under-skin laser treatment that is minimally invasive, versatile and precise. The invention allows for under-skin laser treatment with only minimal insertions into the area of treatment. For example, an entire area may be treated with one insertion. The invention incorporates a standard insertion component (204) making the system inexpensive, and easy for doctors to use. In addition, the  invention allows users to get in direct contact with the treatment site, eliminating deleterious side effects encountered when treatment is administered to the skin surface. The invention has applications in several areas of treatment. First, under-skin treatment of aesthetic skin blemishes such as sagging, and wrinkles can be performed with minimal external effects . Laser power is delivered directly beneath the skin, by passing harmful exposure of the skin surface to the radiation. Second, common vascular abnormalities such as capillary disorders, spider nevus, hemangioma, and varicose veins can be selectively eliminated. The device allows a simple, single insertion per treated structure, and specific laser delivery. The needle (204) is inserted in the vascular structure (208). Any abnormalities are eradicated starting from the source, and continuingthrough the entire structure. Third, when coupled with x-ray imaging, the present invention may  be used to treat various internal body structures for example during surgery . X-ray imaging allows the user to orient the device within the body structure s. Laser delivery treatment can then be administered as described above.</SDOAB >

Patent CA-2384107-A1 (CA)
Title: Disc mascara applicator
Inventor: BOUIX HERVE F
IPC: A45D40/26
Filed: 2001-07-20
Abstract: A cosmetic applicator (16) which has an array of independent discs (17) which compress during withdrawal from a container (2) so that excess product can be removed from the applicator by a wiper. After passage through the wiper (24), the discs return to their expanded position by the action of a spring (22). The compressing of the discs during withdrawal allows a controlled amount of product to remain on the applicator for application by the consumer, and the returning of the discs to their expanded position by the spring causes the discs to assume a configuration which allows the applicator to effectively comb and separate the eyelashes.

Title: Methods and apparatus for rate control during dual pass encoding
Inventor: LIU VINCENT
IPC: H04N7/26
Filed: 2002-07-29
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for rate control in a dual pass encoding scheme are provided. A first pass encoder encodes alternate slices of anchor frames as I-slices and P- slices respectively in order to generate statistics for both I and P frame encoding for the same anchor frame. An initial complexity estimate for encoding a current frame is determined by the first pass encoder based on statistics from first pass encoding of the current frame and from first pass encoding of a prior encoded frame. A second pass encoder estimates an encoding complexity for the current frame based on the initial complexity and statistics from second pass encoding of the prior encoded frame. The second pass encoder then determines a bit budget for second pass encoding of the current frame based on the encoding complexity.
