Title: Circulatory support system and method of use for isolated segmental perfusion
Inventor: SAMSON WILFRED J
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 1999-05-07
Abstract: A circulatory support system and method for circulatory support are described for performing cardiopulmonary bypass using differential perfusion and/or isolated segmental perfusion of the circulatory system. The circulatory support system includes one or more venous cannulae for draining blood from the venous side of the patient's circulatory system, one or more arterial cannulae for perfusing the arterial side of the patient's circulatory system, and one or more blood circulation pumps connected between the venous cannulae and the arterial cannulae. The arterial cannulae and the venous cannulae of the circulatory support system may take one of several possible configurations. The circulatory support system is configured to segment a patient's circulatory system into one or more isolated circulatory loops. The circulatory loops may be isolated from one another and/or from the remainder of the patient's circulatory system on the venous side, as well as on the arterial side, for isolated closed loop circulatory support of separate organ systems. The circulatory support system is suitable for use in minimally-invasive cardiac surgery, using thoracoscopic, port-access or minithoracotomy techniques, or for standard open-chest cardiac surgery.

Patent CA-2344641-A1 (CA)
Title: Electrosurgical biopsy device and method
Inventor: QUICK RICHARD L
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1999-09-17
Abstract: An electrosurgical biopsy device includes a stylet and a cannula movably mounted on a base. The stylet has a shaft with a head at its distal end and a stylet ablation element extending distally from the head. The stylet shaft is disposed through the cannula for axial translation therein between withdrawn and extended positions. The cannula has an opening at its distal end and a cannula ablation element adjacent the opening. Both ablation elements are activatable with energy that ablates adjacent tissue. A translation mechanism controllably moves (a) the stylet between the withdrawn and extended positions and (b) the cannula between a proximal position and a distal position relative to the base. In use, with the stylet in the withdrawn position against the distal end of the cannula, and with the stylet ablation element activated, the stylet and the cannula are pushed through the skin and the underlying tissue until the stylet head is adjacent a targeted tissue mass. Next, the stylet is extended distally from the distal end of the cannula so that its head penetrates the tissue mass. The cannula ablation element is then activated, and the cannula is pushed through the tissue mass toward the stylet head, thereby cutting a "core" through the tissue mass that is captured as a tissue specimen within the distal end of the cannula. The cannula and the stylet are then removed from the patient's body.

Title: Weed and grass trimmer
Inventor: GRACE ALBERT S
IPC: A01D34/416
Filed: 2000-08-10
Abstract: A weed and grass trimmer (10) has a cutting line (24) which is fed as the weed trimmer (10) is in use. The weed trimmer's cutting head (16) includes a spool (22) for cutting line (24), and a housing (26). The spool (22) has flanges, (30), around its circumference, which may engage a corresponding upper (32) or lower (34) set of flanges in the housing (26). Actuation of a control located near the handle (14) operates either a cable (54) or a solenoid (76), causing the spool (22) to reciprocate between the upper (32) and lower (34) flanges.  The difference in centrifugal force and angular velocity during this reciprocation causes additional cutting line (24) to be fed.
