Patent CA-2422516-A1 (CA)
Title: Needle device
Inventor: NEWBY C MARK
IPC: A61M5/32
Filed: 2003-03-18
Abstract: The present invention is directed to a shieldable blood collection set and a needle assembly for use therewith. The needle assembly includes a needle cannula having a puncture tip at a distal end, a hub which supports the needle cannula, and a shield. The hub and the shield are axially movable with respect to each other between a first sampling position, where the puncture tip is exposed from the shield, and a second shielded position where the shield covers the puncture tip. A gauze pad is connected to the shield through a tether. After a venipuncture procedure, the gauze is maintained over the needle puncture tip at the puncture site, and the needle is withdrawn from the patient by pulling on the hub. This movement causes the tether to tightly extend between the gauze and the shield, which causes the needle puncture tip to be withdrawn into the shield.

Title: Energie maremotrice, pertuis et vanne d'ecoulement
Inventor: COURTOIS JEAN-MARIE
IPC: F03B13/26
Filed: 2004-03-24
Abstract: Cette invention a pour but de produire de l'électricité à partir de l'énergie marémotrice, en utilisant la différence de niveau d'eau entre la mer et un bassin de retenue. Pour cela, on construit un bassin de retenue, formé de murs solidement fixés dans le sous-sol marin. Ce bassin communique avec la mer par un pertuis ou ouverture creusée dans la partie inférieure d'un des murs de retenue. A l'intérieur du bassin, juste derrière le pertuis, il y a une turbine coupl ée par son axe verticale à une génératrice située hors de l'eau. L'écoulement de l'eau dans le pertuis est commandé par une vanne d'écoulement située à l'entrée du pertuis, du côté de la mer. Cette vanne, qui s'ouvre et se ferme verticalement, est entraînée par un système à crémaillère verticale commandé par un moteur électrique. Durant un cycle de marée qui dure environ douze heures, on obtient de l'électricité par deux fois. Une première fois, quand le bassin se vide dans la mer; une deuxième fois, quant la mer remplit le bassin. Durant ces deux déplacements, l'eau s'écoule en passant à travers le pertuis donc à travers la turbine qui tourne au passage de l'eau. Quand la turbine tourne, elle entraîne par son axe vertical la génératrice qui produit alors de l'électricité. C'est le but recherché.
