Patent CA-2376365-C (CA)
Title: Ball point fluid-assisted electrocautery device
Inventor: HOEY MICHAEL F
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 1996-10-02
Granted: 2008-12-02
Abstract: An electrocautery device is disclosed. In accordance with one aspect of the invention, the electrocautery electrode/tip is provided with a hollow, conductive tube terminating at its distal end in a ball point type tip. Fluid, preferably conductive fluid, is applied to the proximal end of the hollow electrode/tip, and expelled from the distal end thereof during electrocautery. The ball point distal tip allows the distal tip to be directly applied to the tissue and "rolled" or slid along the tissue. This allows the distal tip to be moved across the tissue without dragging or snagging on the tissue. In addition, the conductive fluid expelled from the distal tip further lubricates the distal tip as it moves across the tissue. If conductive fluid is used, the conductive fluid emanating from the electrode/tip conducts the RF electrocautery energy away from the distal tip so that it is primarily the fluid, rather than the distal tip that actually accomplishes the cauterizing of tissue. That is, the fluid serves as a "virtual" electrocautery electrode. Since it is the fluid, rather than the distal tip that cauterizes, coagulates and ablates, no burns or perforations are made to the tissue, reducing the amount of debris at the site. Also, the flow of fluid through the electrode/tip tends to keep the distal tip clean and cool.

Title: Method and apparatus for removing oil from water including monitoring of adsorbent saturation
Inventor: JOHNSON MICHAEL R
IPC: B01D15/00
Filed: 2000-06-07
Granted: 2006-08-22
Abstract: Apparatus in fluid communication with a water leg portion of a hydrocarbon-contaminated water, e.g., a water leg portion of an offshore drilling or production platform sump tank for conveying water, separated from oil, into contact with organophilic clay cannisters such that the hydrocarbons and other organic materials commingled with the sump tank water will be adsorbed onto the organophilic clay and detected by the embedded probe in selected cannisters. The water will pass through the clay and will be conveyed back to the ocean water without contamination. At some point in time, the organophilic clay will become "spent" and at a certain "spent level", the saturated condition of the organoclay will be electronically detected by the embedded probe and alarm/control panel. The alarm indicates that the "spent" organophilic clay should be replaced with fresh clay or the spent clay regenerated.

Title: Implantable cardiac rhythm management device for assessing status of chf patients
Inventor: STAHMANN JEFFREY E
IPC: A61N1/365
Filed: 2000-07-13
Granted: 2006-05-09
Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing congestive heart failure therapy status.  An electronic device, preferably a cardiac rhythm management device, capable of measuring transthoracic impedance and for sensing a level of physical activity is implanted in a patient. The transthoracic impedance signal is processed to obtain an estimate of the subject's minute ventilation, respiratory rate, tidal volume, inspiratory rate and expiratory rate. From accelerometer measured activity, an estimate is obtained of oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production and work rate. Ratios of tidal volume to respiratory rate, tidal volume to inspiratory time, tidal volume to expiratory time, heart rate to minute ventilation, respiratory rate to minute ventilation, tidal volume to minute ventilation, minute ventilation to oxygen uptake, minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production, minute ventilation to work rate, heart rate to work rate, oxygen uptake to heart rate and other ratios are meaningful status indicators for assessing the efficacy of particular therapy regimens to CHF patients.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel process for preparing a solution of silk or silk-like protein from a variety of potential sources, and spinning it to produce a reformed silk fibre for biomedical and other uses. The silk is pre-dissolved to form an amorphous powder, then re-dissolved in a mixture of dichloroacetic acid with either chloroform or dichloromethane, to form a homogenous silk fibroin solution for spinning. By controlling spinning and drawing conditions, and by appropriate chemical modification, fibres with a variety of mechanical and biological properties can be formed. Such fibres can have an extended or shortened biostability in the human body, and are suitable for implantable devices such as absorbable artificial ligaments and engineering matrices, drug delivery implants, and many other uses.
