Patent CA-2551361-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LAIRD EDWARD T
IPC: G08C19/00
Filed: 2006-06-29
Abstract: One provides (101) message content comprising at least a first message content part and a second message content part. One then selects (103) (at least) a first and second form of message alteration wherein each form of message alteration has corresponding recovery content that can be used to facilitate recovering message content that has been altered using the respective form of message alteration. The first message content part, in combination with recovery content as corresponds to the second form of message alteration, is then converted (104) into a first altered form using the first form of message alteration. In addition, one also preferably converts (105) the second message content part into a second altered form using the second form of message alteration. The first and second altered forms, in addition to recovery content as corresponds to the first form of message alteration, are then transmitted (106) as a joint message.

Title: Devices for delivering agents to tissue region while preventing leakage
Inventor: DICARLO PAUL
IPC: A61M25/00
Filed: 2005-08-18
Abstract: An apparatus (10) for delivering an agent to a target site within a body includes an outer tubular body (12), an inner tubular body (20) slidably disposed within the outer tubular body, a substance delivery port (60, 25) located on the inner tubular body, and an electrode (50) secured to the outer tubular body.
