IPC: A61B17/80
Filed: 2010-04-20
Abstract: An intramedullary nail targeting apparatus for targeting and drilling screw openings in the intramedullay nail is provided herein.  A preferred version of the targeting apparatus includes a magnetic targeting device (116), a nail extension (110) for connecting to an in-tramedullary nail (60), and a magnet member (70), preferably in a"bucking configuration, " for affixing to the intramedullary nail at a defined position relative to the screw openings in the nail.  The nail extension includes a targeting arm (120) with one or more bores which align with the screw openings in the nail when the targeting arm is aligned with the intramedullary nail. The magnetic targeting device includes a support member with a sensor array (33) that extends through one of the bores on the targeting arm to target the magnet member, thereby aligning the targeting arm with the intramedullary nail. A second bore on the targeting arm can then be used for drilling through the bone at the position of an aligned screw opening. Methods for using the targeting apparatus for targeting and drilling screw openings in intramedulary nails or openings in bone plates are also described herein.
Patent CA-2758872-A1 (CA)
Inventor: SMITH GERGORY J
IPC: C02F11/15
Filed: 2011-11-16
Abstract: There is a method of treating liquid tailings using electro-kinetics by creating a variable voltage between two electrodes in the tailings. Flocculation and water release from the tailings is induced by establishing an electrical field between the two electrodes. The electrodes are connected to an electrical power source having the variable voltage to create a cathode and an anode. Compacting the flocculation solids and removing further water released from the compacting solids allows for the creation of a compacted material having a desired load bearing capacity. Flocculation may be performed using a conveyor having a conduit defining a tailings reservoir through which tailings pass. First and second electrodes, connected to a power source, are placed within the tailings reservoir. A water extraction outlet allows for the removal of water from the tailings reservoir. A means to cause the tailings to pass through the tailings reservoir is connected to the tailings reservoir.

Title: Method and apparatus for coherent marine radar measurements of properties of ocean waves and currents
Inventor: TRIZNA DENNIS B
IPC: G01S7/288
Filed: 2010-08-27
Abstract: A method and apparatus of determining a wave height directional spectrum of an ocean wave field using the intermediate-frequency (IF) signal from marine radars with a rotating antenna, using either a fully coherent or a standard non-coherent transmitter/receiver modified for coherent-on-receive use. The method may include receiving the IF radar ocean surface echo signal for a series of transmit pulses, at a sequence of azimuthal antenna positions, and a number of antenna rotations covering several minutes, then generating a matrix of complex IF signal samples from these, deriving phases for each sample, generating the difference in phase for consecutive azimuths, then Doppler shifts, and finally radial velocities. These are interpolated to a Cartesian-transformed representation cube of samples, a subset of which is Fourier transformed in three dimensions, filtered, and the resulting power spectrum generated is used to derive ocean wave height directional spectra, frequency spectra, and root-mean-squared wave height.

Title: Downhole gas and liquid separation
Inventor: MORRISON GUY
IPC: E21B43/00
Filed: 2010-09-20
Abstract: Separating gas from liquid down hole in a well by a downhole gas separator (10), gas is separated and passed to the well annulus (202) and liquid is passed to a submersible pump (216) at a calibrated flow rate at which liquid is vacated from a separation chamber (48), the length of the separation chamber (48) providing sufficient space for gas separation as the liquid is pumped from the separator (10). The gas separator (10), limiting the amount of fluid passed to the separation chamber (48) at less than the pumping rate of the submersible pump (216), creates a fluid vortex causing the separated liquid to move to the periphery and separated gas to pass near the axial center of the separation chamber (48). The separated gas passes to the well annulus (202) and the liquid passes to the inlet of the submersible pump (216).

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for producing a lithium secondary battery in which peeling of an active substance can be prevented and the generation of metal powder can be prevented when a power collection foil is processed at an electrode production step. The method for producing the lithium secondary battery includes an electrode-producing step of producing a positive electrode and a negative electrode; a step of forming a group of electrodes by layering the positive electrode and the negative electrode on each other through a separator, or winding the positive electrode and the negative electrode through a separator; and a step of immersing the group of the electrodes in an electrolyte . The electrode-producing step has a boring step of forming a plurality of through-holes penetrating a power collection foil and having projected parts projected from at least a rear surface of the power collection foil and a mixed agent-forming step of forming a mixed agent layer on the power collection foil through which the through-holes have been formed.  After the boring step finishes, the mixed agent-forming step is successively performed without winding the power collection foil through which the through-holes have been formed.
