Patent CA-2473612-C (CA)
Title: Surgical stapling instrument having articulation joint support plates for supporting a firing bar
Inventor: WALES KENNETH S
IPC: A61B17/04
Filed: 2004-07-09
Granted: 2012-04-24
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic articulates an end effector by having a geared articulation mechanism that converts rotational motion from a handle portion. A firing bar longitudinally translates between the handle portion and the end effector. The firing bar head is thickened in order to present an undistorted cutting edge and engagement features to the opposing jaws of the end effector. The firing bar also advantageously includes a thinned or tapered proximal portion in the form of a strip or band. that negotiates the articulation mechanism flexibility. To prevent buckling of the firing bar strip during firing a pair of support plates adjustably flank flank the firing bar strip through the articulation mechanism. Various versions show resilient and spring engagement of each end of the support plate to distal and proximal sides of the articulation mechanism, as well as a resilient support plate.

Title: Pipeline architecture for analyzing multiple video streams
Inventor: VALLONE ROBERT P
IPC: G06T5/20
Filed: 2005-03-15
Granted: 2011-02-15
Abstract: A pipeline architecture for analyzing multiple streams of video is embodied, in part, in a layer of application program interfaces (APIs) to each stage of processing. Buffer queuing is used between some stages, which helps moderate the load on the CPU(s). Through the layer of APIs, innumerable video analysis applications can access and analyze video data flowing through the pipeline, and can annotate portions of the video data (e.g., frames and groups of frames), based on the analyses performed, with information that describes the frame or group. These annotated frames and groups flow through the pipeline to subsequent stages of processing, at which increasingly complex analyses can be performed. At each stage, portions of the video data that are of little or no interest are removed from the video data. Ultimately, "events" are constructed and stored in a database, from which cross-event and historical analyses may be performed and associations with, and among, events may be made.
