Patent CA-2179480-A1 (CA)
Title: Automated robotic lens load system
Inventor: EDIE ROBERT JOHN
IPC: B29D11/00
Filed: 1996-06-19
Abstract: A method of automatically transferring contact lenses from a plurality of cups good positioned at a first location to a plurality of packages positioned at a second location wherein each good cup contains a transferable contact lens for placement in an individual blister package comprises a step of communicating positional information of good cup locations to a robotic device having an arm with one or more end effectors thereon, each end effector having a tip in connection with a vacuum and air pressure supply device, each end effector independently moveable with respect to the arm. Then, steps of applying a vacuum to the end effector tip to enable pick-up of a transferable lens from a cup located at a good cup location, and, controlling the robot to effect positioning of one end effector tip within the cup having the transferable lens therein to pick up the lens are performed. A further step includes controlling the robot to remove the end effector tip from the good cup location to position it within a blister package cavity, and finally, removing the vacuum and applying air pressure to the end effector tip to deposit the lens from the effector tip into a blister package cavity.

Title: Radiofrequency ablation system
Inventor: STRUL BRUNO
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 1995-01-04
Abstract: A system for delivering radiofrequency en-ergy to ablate tissue comprises a radiofrequency generator and an intravascular catheter. The catheter includes a radiofrequency ablation elec-trode and a temperature sensor within its distal end and may also include an additional electrode for ECG endocavitary mapping, or HIS. Deliv-ery of power to the ablation monopolar electrode may then be controlled based on electrode tem-perature using a cascade feedback control system wherein analog temperature controller adjusts the set point to a secondary power controller. Alter-natively, power delivered to the patient can be controlled directly based on a power set point. A sinusoidal RF signal is provided to avoid en-ergy attenuation and the sinusoidal RF signal may be pulsed to avoid buildup of coagulum on the catheter tip while providing high power to create large lesions. A verification circuit checks the continuity of circuits in a disposal catheter.

Title: Remote-controlled mandibular positioning device and method of using the device
Inventor: REMMERS JOHN E
IPC: A61M16/00
Filed: 1996-10-30
Abstract: A remote-controlled mandibular positioner for conveniently and precisely positioning the mandible during a sleep center or in-hospital study of patients who are candidates for mandibular positioner therapy. The remote-controlled mandibular positioner is used during sleep to perform a therapeutic titration study during full polysomnographic monitoring to determine the mandible position effective in treating obstructive sleep apnea. During the titration study, the mandible is advanced by a technician using the remote-controlled mandibular positioner until all apneas and hypopneas are eliminated. The titration study determines whether a mandibular positioner will be effective in treating a particular patient, and if so, the degree of mandibular ventral displacement required for effective treatment of obstructive sleep apnea.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un produit à base de béton permettant de favoriser l'afforestation et destiné à être utilisé dans le milieu ambiant. Des fibres de carbone sont plantées en des endroits prédéterminés des surfaces externes du corps (12) du produit à base de ciment, tandis qu'une quantité d'eau déterminée assure la germination de graines. Les fibres de carbone se constituent de filaments (15) de fibres de carbone formant une configuration de brin prédéterminée, un tissu non tissé, un tissu tissé, des tricots, ou encore une combinaison de ce derniers. Il est ainsi possible d'obtenir des fibres de carbone dont la grande surface va servir de support de fixation à des micro-organismes. Les graines végétales fixées naturellement aux fibres de carbone germent et se nourrissent des micro-organismes qui se fixent aux fibres et se transforment en bouillie. Ce système permet d'assurer la croissance des plantes et d'effectuer une afforestation même si les graines ne sont pas introduites ou plantées dans le corps (12) du produit à base de ciment. Lorsqu'il est utilisé dans des conditions d'immersion, ce produit à base de ciment permet de purifier l'eau grâce à la fixation de films biologiques et à la fixation des micro-organismes.

Title: Double-sterile package for medical apparatus and method of making
Inventor: DUTCHIK ROBERT
IPC: A61L2/26
Filed: 1996-05-21
Abstract: A double-sterile package for critical-use medical apparatus includes an inner first container including an outer boundary wall impervious to microorganisms and being closed except for defining a hole. A patch of gas-permeable microporous sheet material is secured to the outer boundary wall spanning and closing the hole. The gas-permeable sheet material is sufficient to exclude environmental microorganisms from entering the inner first container. The first container is received into and nested within a conformal second container also having a boundary wall impervious to microorganisms and being closed except for defining a hole. This hole of the second container is also closed by a patch of the gas-permeable micro-porous sheet material, and the holes of the first and second containers are in gas-flow communication with one another. The medical apparatus within the nested containers is sterilized by evacuation of air and introduction of a sterilizing gas via the gaspermeable patches. Removal of the sterilizing gas provides a packaged sterile medical apparatus which may be transported, stored, and handled with no further need to additionally protect the sterility of the apparatus, or for further sterilization after the package is opened immediately prior to use of the apparatus.
