Patent CA-2603679-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HILLHOUSE DONALD R
IPC: F16L35/00
Filed: 2007-09-25
Abstract: A hose having a compressible wall which is adapted to be connected at one end thereof to a nozzle of a sprayer. The other end is attached to a stub pipe or stem extending from a tank of the sprayer which can contain a pressurized liquid which flows through the hose and is sprayed via the nozzle. The coupling provides a quick connection for the hose to the pipe stem and also allows the coupling/hose assembly to freely rotate 360° while remaining sealed. The coupling is an assembly of a nipple and a sleeve having a throat which compresses the hose wall and provides a retainer, retaining the end of the hose on the nipple. The nipple may have a flange which seats the integrated assembly of retainer, nipple, and hose on an end of the pipe stem with a portion of the nipple extending into the stem. An O-ring seal captured on the portion of the nipple which extends into the stem provides a seal between the nipple and the inner periphery of the stem. The stem has a tapered projection in the form of a barb. A C or E-spring clip has inward projection that extends through slots in the retainer. The spring clip is sprung apart as the assembly of retainer, nipple, and hose is seated on the pipe stem, and when seated springs back against a surface of the pipe stem, just below the barb to locate the inward projections of the spring clip, via the retainer slots, under the tapered portion and latches the assembly on the pipe stem. To disconnect or release the coupling, the spring clip is spread apart to free the assembly.

Title: Connectorized probe for transesophageal echocardiography
Inventor: HARHEN EDWARD PAUL
IPC: A61B8/12
Filed: 2006-04-13
Abstract: A connectorized ultrasound probe includes a distal section that is configured for insertion into a patient's body and a proximal section configured to interface the distal section with an ultrasound system. The distal section is easily attachable and detachable from the proximal section using at least one set of connectors. When connected, a user-operated actuator located on the proximal section controls the bending of the distal section, and the ultrasound system sends driving signals to and receives return signals from the ultrasound transducer via the proximal section. This arrangement is particularly advantageous for long term monitoring, because the disconnectability of the proximal section makes it possible to leave the distal section in place in the patient for longer periods of time without undue discomfort.
Patent CA-2606569-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SCHRUFF HERBERT
IPC: F16B37/06
Filed: 2007-10-12
Abstract: The invention relates to a blind rivet element (1) with a setting head (2) and with a shank (3), the shank having, in the region of its end facing away from the setting head (2), an internal thread (4) or a threaded--bolt receptacle and, between the internal thread or the threaded-bolt receptacle and the setting head, a deformation portion (5), and the setting head possessing a larger outside diameter than the shank.     In such a blind rivet element, it is proposed, according to the invention, that the shank have a weakening of the shank wall (6) solely in a central circumferential region (15) of the deformation portion (5).   The blind rivet element is designed, in particular, as a blind-rivet nut or blind-rivet threaded bolt.     Such a blind rivet element is distinguished by a destabilized region which is deformed in a defined way during the setting of the element, the element having a short overall length and low material costs being associated with this. The element can be produced simply and cost-effectively and can be set in an uncomplicated way.     Such a blind rivet element is perfectly suitable to have a use, in connection with a component, in which the closing head, formed after the deformation of the blind rivet element, of the blind rivet element engages radially into a recess of the component.

Title: System and method for applying a reflectance modifying agent to improve the visual attractiveness of human skin
Inventor: YEAGER RICK B
IPC: G06V10/60
Filed: 2006-08-14
Abstract: A computer-controlled system determines attributes of a frexel, an area of human skin, and applies a modifying agent (RMA) at the pixel level, typically to make the skin appear more youthful and so more attractive. The system scans the frexel, identifies unattractive attributes, and applies the RMA, typically with an inkjet printer. The identified attributes relate to reflectance and may refer to features such as irregular-looking light and dark spots, age-spots, scars, and bruises. Identified attributes may also relate to the surface topology of the skin, for more precisely enhancing surface irregularities such as bumps and wrinkles. Feature mapping may be used, for example to make cheeks appear pinker and cheekbones more prominent. The RMA  can be applied in agreement with identified patterns, such as adding red to a red frexel, or in opposition, such as adding green or blue to a red frexel, according to idealized models of attractiveness.
Patent CA-2620293-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOYCE DAVID B
IPC: C30B17/00
Filed: 2006-08-25
Abstract: To reduce the heat input to the bottom of the crucible and to control heat extraction independently of heat input, a shield can be raised between a heating element and a crucible at a controlled speed as the crystal grows.  Other steps could include moving the crucible, but this process can avoid having to move the crucible. A temperature gradient is produced by shielding only a portion of the heating element; for example, the bottom portion of a cylindrical element can be shielded to cause heat transfer to be less in the bottom of the crucible than at the top, thereby causing a stabilizing temperature gradient in the crucible.
