Patent CA-2763348-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JAMES EDMUND H III
IPC: B41J2/175
Filed: 2012-01-05
Abstract: A consumable supply item for an imaging device holds an initial or refillable volume of ink. Users orient a housing to deplete the ink in a direction of gravity toward a bottom of the interior. The imaging device has a rotating latch.  The latch mates with a top of the supply item to keep in place the supply item.  Fluid exit and air venting ports reside on a side of the housing that gets inserted first into a container slot of the imaging device. A space separates the ports so a biasing member can push against the housing to assist in ejecting the supply item upon users activating the latch. The ports are separated a maximum distance to facilitate the ejection, while the exit port remains near a bottom to minimize stranding ink. Further embodiments note arrangements, distances and consumer features, to name a few.

Title: Method and system for automatically classifying and identifying vestibulo-ocular responses
Inventor: GALIANA HENRIETTA L
IPC: G06F17/00
Filed: 2012-01-11
Abstract: Stabilizing the visual system for any sighted mobile system increases immunity of the mobile system's gaze and reduces information processing task complexity. Two human reflexes are the optokinetic reflex and vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR). The VOR  stabilizes retinal images during head movement by producing eye movements in the opposite direction. Improved analysis of the VOR in humans would improve the diagnosis / treatment of patients, provide improvements in visual prosthesis performance for patients, and also vision systems performance for mobile robotic systems. However, an important issue for prior art mathematical analysis techniques is the requirement to classify the nystagmus segments before applying any analysis techniques, wherein this classification should be preferably performed non-subjectively. Accordingly the inventors overcome these limitations by performing classification, i.e. segmentation of the data record into multiple modes (including possible artifacts or outliers), and identification of mode dynamics concurrently and objectively in a manner suitable for multi-input systems.
Patent CA-2765222-A1 (CA)
Inventor: DESAI NEIL P
IPC: A61K9/72
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: In accordance with the present invention, there are provided compositions and methods useful for the in vivo delivery of substantially water insoluble pharmacologically active agents (such as the anticancer drug paclitaxel) in which the pharmacologically active agent is delivered in the form of suspended particles coated with protein (which acts as a stabilizing agent). In particular, protein and pharmacologically active agent in a biocompatible dispersing medium are subjected to high shear, in the absence of any conventional surfactants, and also in the absence of any polymeric core material for the particles. The procedure yields particles with a diameter of less than about 1 micron. The use of specific composition and preparation conditions (e.g., addition of a polar solvent to the organic phase), and careful selection of the proper organic phase and phase fraction, enables the reproducible production of unusually small nanoparticles of less than 200 nm diameter, which can be sterile-filtered. The particulate system produced according to the invention can be converted into a redispersible dry powder comprising nanoparticles of water-insoluble drug coated with a protein, and free protein to which molecules of the pharmacological agent are bound. This results in a unique delivery system, in which part of the pharmacologically active agent is readily bioavailable (in the form of molecules bound to the protein), and part of the agent is present within particles without any polymeric matrix therein.

Abstract: An intraocular lens is disclosed, with an optic that changes shape in response to a deforming force exerted by the zonules of the eye. A haptic supports the optic around its equator and couples the optic to the capsular bag of the eye. Certain haptic features improve the accommodative performance of the haptic, such that compressive/tensile forces may be more efficiently transferred from the haptic to optic. Furthermore, certain aspects also provide enhanced bag-sizing capability so that the IOL better fits within the capsular bag.

Title: Power pack remaining capacity level detection
Inventor: PATINO JOSEPH
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2012-12-19
Abstract: Systems and methods to detect particular levels of remaining battery capacities. A ratio of changes in battery output voltage over changes in battery capacity (.DELTA.V/.DELTA.C) is calculated (806, 814). Detected rises in the value of this ratio are used to detect that a battery has a remaining capacity level that is near depletion (810). In a certain temperature range, the .DELTA.V/.DELTA.C ratio is used to provide an indication that the battery is approaching a low remaining capacity state (810, 820, 818). In another temperature range, an increase in the .DELTA.V/.DELTA.C ratio indicates that the battery has reached a mid-range remaining capacity level (820, 824).

Abstract: A system and method for analyzing the utilization of diagnostic imaging modality devices by receiving and combining patient information from a radiology information system and image series information of patients from diagnostic imaging modality devices. The system may produce facility reports analyzing temporal utilization of the diagnostic imaging modality devices. It may also query a picture archiving and communication system to identify changes made to the image series information and update the facility database to reflect changes that are identified. The radiology information system may use a standard protocol, such as HL7, that is different from and not interoperable with a standard protocol, such as DICOM, used by the diagnostic imaging modality devices and picture archiving and communication system. The system may produce facility-independent reports for multiple imaging facilities that may be combined into regional reports by a regional information system.

Title: Apparatus and method for reducing the thermal inertia of an electronic display
Inventor: SCHUCH JOHN
IPC: H01L51/50
Filed: 2011-05-25
Abstract: An apparatus and method for reducing the thermal inertia of an electronic display based on the amount of ambient light present. An ambient light sensor is used to measure the amount of ambient light which is contacting the display. To anticipate a temperature rise and lower the thermal inertia of the display, the fan speed is increased when high ambient light levels are measured at the exterior of the display but prior to a substantial increase in temperature. The ambient light sensor data may be used to apply a temperature correction factor to a temperature sensor within the display. Alternatively, the ambient light sensor data may be used to apply a fan speed correction factor to a desired fan speed (calculated based on a temperature sensor within the display).
