Patent CA-2429043-A1 (CA)
Inventor: FOLEY STEPHEN
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2001-10-26
Abstract: An apparatus and method for determining whether the software (122) to be downloaded by a device is the correct software (122) for that device. The software (122) includes a header portion further including fields identifying the device type (112), software type (116), and device class (120) to which the software pertains. The downloading device checks both the device (112, 120) and software type (116) before processing with the download process. If the device type (112) and software type (116) are correct, the device then checks the hardware class (120) of the software. If this last comparison process identifies a match, then the software is downloaded (120) to the device. Following the download process an error detection (124) (and optionally error correction) is performed on the software using a checksum in the header.

Title: Drug delivery, bodily fluid drainage, and biopsy device with enhanced ultrasonic visibility
Inventor: KEENAN JAMES ALEXANDER
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2003-06-25
Abstract: A medical device to inject drugs, drain bodily fluids, or to perform biopsy is disclosed. The device will permit localized drug delivery, fluid drainage, or biopsy through real-time monitoring of the needle tip position within a patient. The device will permit controlled dispersion of a drug into solid tissue as well as delivery into specific blood vessels. As a needle is inserted an echogenic fluid, such as a saline solution or an ultrasound contrast agent, is injected into the patient. The fluid travels a brief distance before being slowed and stopped by the patient's tissue. This fluid flow will be detectable by ultrasound, likely Doppler ultrasound. The position of the needle tip during insertion will be monitored using an ultrasound until it is positioned at the desired point of action. A therapeutic drug is then delivered. Alternatively, a vacuum pump could then be used to aspirate fluid for drainage or tissue for biopsy. During needle insertion, the fluid flow rate may be adjusted to vary the volume of space detectable by the ultrasound so as to maintain a properly defined image of the needle tip. Once the needle tip is positioned at the point of action, the echogenic fluid can be pulsed, repeatedly and at a variety of flow rates, until the fluid distribution pattern is satisfactory and the drug can then be delivered.

Title: Diffractive shaping of the intensity distribution of a spatially partially coherent light beam
Inventor: TURUNEN JARI
IPC: H01S5/00
Filed: 2001-07-16
Abstract: A new method is introduced to shape the intensity distribution and improve t he quality of a beam emitted by a spatially partially coherent source with the aid of a periodic diffractive optical element (704). Periodic diffractive elements are not suitable for shaping spatially coherent light fields in the sense described in the invention because of the appearance of strong constructive interference effects, but the partial spatial coherence of ligh t fields emitted by multimode sources suppresses these effects. The invention can be applied to shaping of intensity distributions emitted by lasers, ligh t- emitting diodes, or optical fibers either, at a finite distance from the source (703) or in the far field. The invention is particularly advantageous in the shaping and quality improvement of beams emanating from high-power excimer lasers, semiconductor lasers, resonance-cavity light-emitting diodes , or arrays of lasers or light-emitting diodes (702, 705).
