Patent CA-2713814-C (CA)
Title: Gastric inflation band with integrated infusion catheter
Inventor: SCHWEIKERT TIMOTHY M
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 2009-01-30
Granted: 2014-09-02
Abstract: An inflatable gastric band incorporates a fluid channel within an outer surface of the band and an inflatable bladder on a stomach-facing side of the band. The gastric band attaches to a double lumen catheter, which communicates with a dual infusion port. One lumen communicates with the fluid channel and one port, while the other lumen communicates with the inflatable bladder and a second port. Injection of fluid into one chamber of the infusion port expands inflatable bladder, allowing adjustment to the diameter of the stoma.  Injection of drugs or therapeutic agents into the second chamber allows the infusion of drugs or agents directly into the abdominal cavity of a gastric band recipient. The inflatable bladder can be continuous or segmented. A segmented bladder reduces pinching and/or folding of the inner surface of the gastric band during expansion/contraction, thereby lessening stomach pinching and/or irritation.

Abstract: A connection for firmly securing an adapter for detachably carrying a replaceable digging tooth at its front end to a lip of an excavating container of excavating equipment. The adapter has an upper leg and a lower leg located proximate respective upper and lower surfaces of the lip. The connection has substantially aligned openings in the legs and the lip, and engagement sections of the adapter legs traverse the opening in the lip proximate and forward of an aft end thereof. A pressure applying unit, such as a hydraulic actuator, is arranged inside the opening and generates a generally horizontally acting force which draws the adapter and the lip towards each other. A stress member, which can be a C-clamp, is operatively coupled to the hydraulic actuator and resiliently deforms relative to its relaxed shape when it is subjected to the horizontally acting force. A spacer, such as a wedge, is inserted between the hydraulic actuator and the openings while the horizontally acting force resiliently deforms the stress member. The wedge is shaped so that upon a reduction or cessation of the horizontally acting force the stress member, e.g. the C-clamp, remains in the resiliently deformed state in which it draws the adapter and the lip towards each other and keeps them immovably secured to each other until the wedge can be withdrawn following a repressurization of the hydraulic actuator.

Abstract: A fibrin wound dressing is made by mixing quantities of fibrinogen solution and thrombin solution with air. The resulting foam is very light weight, and with the proper attention to the amount of thrombin, is also sufficiently viscous to rest on a vertical surface without dripping. The wound dressing may also be formulated for its ability to continue migration of healing substances, such as PDGF, from the dressing to the wound site. Thrombin substitutes, such as other clotting proteins, may be used instead of thrombin. The resulting foam may also be lyophilized or ground and lyophilized for later reconstitution. A therapeutic drug or other additive may also be added to the wound dressing.

Abstract: Moteur deux-temps à faibles émissions fonctionnant au gaz naturel et comprenant au moins un cylindre doté d'un orifice d'échappement en communication avec un dispositif d'échappement ou de conversion catalytique. Le dispositif comprend un premier et un second espaces en communication l'un avec l'autre. Le premier espace atténue les excursions de pression d'échappement et élimine les particules dans les gaz d'échappement. Le second espace contient un catalyseur d'oxydation pour le traitement des gaz d'échappement afin de réduire les émissions d'échappement. L'huile à moteur contient au maximum 10 ppm de zinc, de façon à réduire la quantité de poisons métalliques dans les gaz d'échappement avant leur contact avec le catalyseur d'oxydation. L'huile à moteur a, de préférence, une très faible teneur en cendres afin de réduire au minimum la quantité d'éléments de combustion contenant du soufre dans les gaz d'échappement et de réduire le masquage du catalyseur d'oxydation. Le premier espace comprend, de préférence, une soupape de surpression conçue pour s'ouvrir lorsque la pression dépasse la pression de service maximale du moteur, afin d'empêcher toute excursion de pression excessive dans le système d'échappement d'endommager le catalyseur d'oxydation.

Abstract: An Au plated film 12 is formed on the surface of a plate-formed metal base 13 composed of a metal less noble than Au, and the product is cut along a planned cutting line 18 reflecting a contour of a desired component, to thereby form a separator 10. Thus-formed separator 10 has the Au plated film 12 formed on the main surface 10a thereof, and has a cutting plane 16 formed as an end face 16 stretched up to the main surface 10a. The metal base 13 exposes in a part of the cutting plane 16, in a width of the exposed region of 1 mm or less. This is successful in providing a metal component for fuel cell which is satisfactory in the corrosion resistance and allows easy fabrication at low costs, a method of manufacturing the same, and also in providing a fuel cell having thus-fabricated metal component for fuel cell.

Title: Demand response mullion sweat protection for a refrigerator or appliance
Inventor: BESORE JOHN K
IPC: F25D29/00
Filed: 2011-08-04
Granted: 2020-02-18
Abstract: An appliance such as a refrigerator receives a demand response signal indicating a peak demand period and operates the refrigerator in an energy savings mode by disabling an anti-sweat heater. A sensor on an external surface of the refrigerator enables the anti-sweat heater during the peak demand period if moisture is detected by the sensor. A preselected location can be defined where incipient moisture would form such as reducing the amount of insulation in this location. By forming a depression in the location and using an impedance-type sensor, moisture can be easily detected. The sensor signal is sent to the controller which then activates the anti-sweat heater to remove the moisture.
