Patent CA-2580813-A1 (CA)
Title: Coupling structure of superconducting cable
Inventor: HIROSE MASAYUKI
IPC: H01R4/68
Filed: 2005-10-12
Abstract: There is provided a superconducting cable connection structure capable of suppressing buckling of a superconducting layer which is easily caused when the superconducting layer and an outer circumferential layer located outside the superconducting layer are relatively shifted in the longitudinal direction. The superconducting cable connection structure is formed at the end of the superconducting cable having a superconducting layer and an outer circumferential layer. The superconducting layer (conductive layer (30)) is connected to a connection member (connection sleeve (210)). Between the end of the connection member and the end of the outer circumferential layer (insulation layer (50)), the superconducting layer is covered by a fixing member (220). Since the fixing member pushes the superconducting layer, even if relative movement is caused between the outer circumferential layer located outside the superconducting layer and the superconducting layer, the superconducting layer in direct contact with the outer circumferential layer is not pushed in the longitudinal direction. Thus, it is possible to prevent buckling of the superconducting layer.

Title: Method and system for transmitting packets
Inventor: MUNJE ARUN
IPC: H04L12/56
Filed: 2007-06-18
Abstract: A system and method of transmitting packets from a wireless device is provided. According to a broad aspect, the wireless device is to transmit a packet on a communication channel during a time window based on whether or not the communication channel is expected to be torn down during the time window. If the communication channel is not expected to be torn down during the time window, then the wireless device transmits the packet late in the time window. However, if the communication channel is expected to be torn down during the time window, then the wireless device transmits the packet during the time window just prior to when the communication channel is expected to be torn down. This prevents having to re-establish the communication channel merely to transmit the packet if the communication channel is torn down.

Inventor: CHO GEORGE E S
IPC: A61B18/20
Filed: 2006-04-21
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for treatment, such as skin rejuvenation treatment, use non-uniform laser radiation. A high-intensity portion of the laser radiation causes collagen destruction and shrinkage within select portions of the treatment area, while a lower-intensity portion of the radiation causes fibroblast stimulation leading to collagen production across other portions of the treatment area. An output beam from a laser source, such as an Nd:YAG  laser, is coupled into an optical system that modifies the beam to provide a large-diameter beam having a nonuniform energy profile, comprised of a plurality of high-intensity zones surrounded by lower-intensity zones within the treatment beam. The higher-intensity zones heat select portions of the target tissue to temperatures sufficient for a first treatment (e.g. collagen shrinkage), while the lower-intensity zones provide sufficient energy for a second treatment (e.g. stimulated collagen production). A large area of tissue, preferably 7-10 mm in diameter, can be treated simultaneously, while minimizing the risk of burning or other damage to the skin. In one embodiment, the invention uses a fiber bundle to provide a non-uniform energy output beam, hi another embodiment, the invention uses a diffractive lens array to produce the non-uniform output beam. A cooling system can also be integrated with the laser treatment system. A pulse light source can also be integrated with the laser treatment system in a combined skin rejuvenation therapy.
