Patent CA-2490534-A1 (CA)
Inventor: MACHADO FIDELIS
IPC: A61F2/958
Filed: 2004-12-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a balloon catheter in which the balloon is mounted on the end of the catheter in a manner that creates a recess or pocket between the catheter wall and balloon wall. The recess or pocket opens toward the proximal end of the catheter. The rigid end of an introduces element or forger is received in the recess to attach i t to the catheter. The distal end of the catheter, with the end of the introduces element in the recess, is inserted and positioned within the bowel by manipulating the introduces element or finger . After the catheter is properly positioned in the bowel, the introduces element or fing er is withdrawn, detaching it from the catheter as the end of the introduces element slides o ut of the recess and then out of the bowel. The balloon is inflated prior to or after the withdrawal of the introduces element to anchor the end of the catheter in position within the bowel. Sinc e the distal end of the catheter is made entirely of soft, compliant material, no soft tissue damage can occur from use of the device, even when the catheter remains in place within the body over an extended time period.

Title: Method and system for integrated reservoir and surface facility networks simulations
Inventor: GREWAL BALRAJ
IPC: G06F17/50
Filed: 2002-11-23
Abstract: Integrated surface-subsurface modeling has been shown to have a critical impact on field development and optimization. Integrated models are often necessary to analyze properly the pressure interaction between a reservoir a nd a constrained surface facility network, or to predict the behavior of severa l fields, which may have different fluid compositions, sharing a common surfac e facility. The latter is gaining a tremendous significance in recent deepwate r field development. These applications require an integrated solution with th e following capabilities: * to balance a surface network model with a reservoi r simulation model in a robust and efficient manner. * To couple multiple reservoir models, production and injection networks, synchronising their advancement through time. * To allow the reservoir and surface network model s to use their own independent fluid descriptions (black oil or compositional descriptions with differing sets of pseudo-components). * To apply global production and injection constraints to the coupled system (including the transfer of re-injection fluids between reservoirs). In this paper we descri be a general-purpose multi-platform reservoir and network coupling controller having all the above features. The controller communicates with a selection of reservoir simulators and surface network simulators via an open message- passing interface. It manages the balancing of the reservoirs and surface networks, and synchronizes their advancement through time. The controller al so applies the global production and injection constraints, and converts the hydrocarbon fluid streams between the different sets of pseudo-components us ed in the simulation models. The controller's coupling and synchronization algorithms are described, and example applications are provided. The flexibility of the controller's open interface makes it possible to plug in further modules (to perform optimization, for example) and additional simulators.

Filed: 2004-01-22
Abstract: A system and method for composing, configuring, deploying, and managing services in a data processing system and data processing system network. This system provides deployment domains to define a logical set of business services that have similar requirements for an application infrastructure.  When a business service request is made, the request is processed through a series of infrastructure service plugs before being delivered to the business service. After processing, any response is again processed through the infrastructure service plugs before being returned. This process ensures that business services can be "plugged in" to the deployment domain, and will properly interact with all required infrastructure services.

The prosthetic valve has the shape of a truncated cone that has an inflow and an outflow orifice with leaflets forming the outflow orifice and forming a plurality of commissures. A first flexible circular support (17) is affixed in a substantially circular fashion around the truncated cone in proximity of the inflow orifice, and a second flexible circular support (18) is affixed at the location of the commissures to form a circle around the truncated cone in proximity of the outflow orifice. The circular supports maintain the shape of the valve during the surgical implantation procedure and thereafter.

Abstract: Method and apparatus to carry out wideband DOCSIS both upstream and downstream in a point-to-multipoint environment of an HFC system using port trunking concepts. For the downstream, each CIVITS has a frame distributor which distributes frames to various transmitters transmitting on downstream channels to be used to transmit downstream data simultaneously to a CM using wideband DOCSIS. The frame distributor adds sequence numbers in some embodiments to guarantee proper order of frames can be restored at the CM, and schedules transmissions according to quality of service considerations to meet guaranteed and committed portions of constant bit rate and variable bit rate flows. The CMTS sends and Extended Channel Enable (ECE) message to wideband capable CMs telling them which downstreams to enable. Each CM has a frame collector to which all frames received on various downstream channels are sent. The frame collector makes sure they are all there, puts them into the proper order and delivers them to a NI. Upstream wideband DOCSIS works the same way with a frame distributor in each CM and a frame collector in the CIVITS. The CIVITS receives bandwidth requests and controls upstream wideband DOCSIS transmissions by sending downstream UCD and MAP and ECE messages to the CMs instructing them which upstream channels to use, describing the parameters of the channel and assigning times for transmission which are simultaneous on multiple channels for upstream wideband capable CMs.

Abstract: The invention relates to an injection device for a syringe, comprising a syringe body, a cannula with a needle, a plunger with a plunger rod and an injection carriage for displacing the syringe body and the plunger. Said injection device comprises at least one actuating element that acts on the injection carriage to carry out the injection. The actuating element (120, 220, 320) co-operates with components, which withdraw the needle (108, 208, 308) from the injection site once the injection has been completed, using a return stroke (H3) that is applied to the injection carriage. A single, targeted, linear displacement inserts the needle to a defined depth, injects the medicament and, once the injection has been completed, produces the return stroke, which allows the needle to be withdrawn into the housing and thus from the injection site. Preferably, the injection device is equipped with additional components, which produce a delay (TV) between the completion of the injection (H2) and the start of the return stroke (H3).
