Title: Inflatable surgical retractor
Inventor: CRAWFORD NIEL R
IPC: A61B17/02
Filed: 2007-08-31
Abstract: An expandable surgical retractor for minimally invasive surgical applications is disclosed. The expandable retractor, preferably in the form of an inflatable balloon retractor, is. inserted in a surgical corridor and expanded to the desired size and shape. The retractor of the present invention is amenable to many shapes including cylindrical, conical with the base at the. depth of the corridor, hourglass, and crescent and are dictated by the surgeon's needs. Cooling of the retractor allows the retractor to maintain the expanded characteristic. The expanded relatively rigid retractor provides an ideal corridor for surgical applications. In a preferred embodiment, a ~ second retractor, of the invention, can be placed at a greater depth through the first placed retractor; the "telescoping" effect rapidly provides greater exposure with minimal manipulation. Following surgery, such retractor(s) can be removed in a manner that minimizes bleeding and tissue damage. One such method is reheating to soften and restore the retractor to its unexpanded size. Or, laterally placed perforations allow for fracturing of the retractor by bo vie cautery, facilitating removal by "unzipping" the retractor.

Title: Method for transmitting cash register information by the internet
Inventor: PAYETTE RAYMOND
IPC: G07G1/14
Filed: 2007-09-19
Abstract: The problem with Point of Sale (POS) receipts is that the information is "dead" because it is only printed. A solution is to send it to the customer by the Internet allowing it to remain in a digital format. Presently handling of coupons is costly. In one embodiment sales receipts contain rebates, allowing them to be later redeemed digitally. Presently rebates are commonly issued in a "shotgun" manner that is not efficient, nor optimally profitable. In a further embodiment the rebates are personalized by using content-based and collaborative-based technology thereby targeting rebates to individual customers and optimizing their profitability.
