Patent CA-2215636-C (CA)
Title: Surgical clamping mechanism
Inventor: HUGHETT DAVID J
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1997-09-10
Granted: 2006-07-11
Abstract: A surgical stapling instrument which has an elongated staple cartridge and anvil is disclosed. The anvil is movable relative to the cartridge from rearward to forward positions for insertion of tissue between these two components and clamping the tissue, respectively. A pair of spaced-apart ribs protrude from the anvil, and when the anvil is moved from its rearward to forward positions, these ribs are received into and slide within a groove embedded on the surface of the cartridge. In this manner, misalignment of the anvil and cartridge when tissue is being clamped is prevented or appreciably reduced, therefore reducing the chances of misforming the staples when the instrument is fired. The alignment features also act as tissue abutment surfaces to prevent the migration of tissue into a region where tissue is transected but not stapled.

Title: Scalable network object caching
Inventor: CHIANG JOHN J
IPC: G06F12/08
Filed: 1998-02-11
Granted: 2006-06-06
Abstract: A scalable distributed caching system on a network receives a request for a data object from a user. The caching system carries out a locator function that locates a directory cache for the object. The directory cache stores a directory list that identifies the locations of object caches that purport to store copies of the object requested by the user. The object caches on the object directory list are polled, and in response send messages to the cache that received the user request indicating if each object cache stores a copy of the requested object. The receiving cache sends a message requesting a copy of the object to the object cache that sent the message first received by the receiving cache indicating that an object cache stores the requested object. The object cache that sent the first received message then sends a copy of the object to the receiving cache, which stores a copy and then sends a copy to the user. The directory list for the object is then updated by adding the network address of the receiving cache. Outdated copies of objects stored on object caches are deleted in a distributed fashion to maintain the coherence of the cached copies. This is further reinforced by the association of time-to-live parameters with the each copy and each object cache address on directory lists.

Abstract: A timer for controlling an appliance includes a top subinterval circuit which is used to control an appliance function. The top subinterval circuit has electrical circuit blades which are movable to open and to close the top subinterval circuit. The timer also includes a subinterval lever which contacts a subinterval cam. The subinterval lever is movable in response to the subinterval cam to impart motion to the circuit blades. This movement acts to open and to close the top subinterval circuit. Moreover, the timer includes a masking lever that engages the circuit blades to prevent the closing of the top subinterval circuit. Thereby the motion of the subinterval lever is masked.

Title: Image acquisition system
Inventor: HOPKINS T ERIC
IPC: G06T1/00
Filed: 1997-06-27
Granted: 2003-09-23
Abstract: An image acquisition system for machine vision systems decouples image acquisition from the transmission of the image to a host processor by using a programmable imager controller to selectively disable and enable the transmission of data to the host and by using a system of buffers to temporarily store image data pending allocation of memory. This enables the image acquisition system to acquire images asynchronously and to change the exposure parameters on a frame-by-frame basis without the latency associated with the allocation of memory for storage of the acquired image. The system architecture of the invention further permits interruption and resumption of image acquisition with minimal likelihood of missing data. Data throughput is further enhanced by transmitting to the host only that data corresponding to the region of interest within the image and discarding the data from outside of the region of interest at the camera stage.

Title: Spectroscopic determination of characteristics of biological material
Inventor: ASHDOWN MARTIN LEONARD
IPC: G01N33/49
Filed: 1997-02-26
Granted: 2007-12-04
Abstract: The present invention relates to a spectroscopic method for the investigation of biological material. The invention is particularly concerned with the application of Infrared (IR) spectroscopy (spectrometry) in the investigation of blood or other body fluids or one or more components thereof. The present invention provides a method for determining a cellular function or change in cellular function of cells, the method including: contacting a sample of the cells or a component of the cells with an activating agent; directing a beam of infrared light at the sample of the cells; analysing the infrared absorption of the sample at at least one range of frequencies; and ascertaining whether at least one change in the absorption characteristic has occurred due to activation of the cells by the activation agent and determining the cellular function or change in cellular function therefrom or correlating the change in component of the cell to a change in the cellular function. An example of an investigation in accordance with the invention is the determination of cellular immunity in patients with immunodeficiency, autoimmunity, contact with infectious diseases, allergies, hypersensitivities, and cancer. The investigation may be related to determining tissue compatibility for transplants.
