Patent CA-2512977-C (CA)
Title: Multiple firing stroke surgical instrument incorporating electroactive polymer anti-backup mechanism
Inventor: SHELTON FREDERICK E IV
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 2005-07-22
Granted: 2014-12-09
Abstract: A surgical stapling and severing instrument particularly suited to endoscopic procedures incorporates a handle that produces separate closing and firing motions to actuate an end effector. In particular, the handle produces multiple firing strokes in order to reduce the required amount of force required to fire (i.e., staple and sever) the end effector. A firing member reciprocates within an elongate shaft to the end effector to transfer this firing motion. A retraction spring retracts the firing member after full firing. Between firing strokes as the firing trigger is released, an anti-backup mechanism activates an electrical actuator (e.g., elecroactive polymer actuator) that is physically grounded to the handle to bind the firing member preventing inadvertent retraction.

Title: One-way valve device
Inventor: KNEER ROLAND
IPC: B65D47/20
Filed: 2004-01-24
Granted: 2011-08-09
Abstract: The one-way valve device for recontamination-protected repeated discharge of a flowable material from a container of a reducible volume includes a valve seat which consists of a rigid plastic material and which is arranged in the container neck and extends transversely across the interior of the container neck and comprises a plurality of passage openings. Moreover, a pin-like projection is formed on the valve seat and extends in the axial direction of the container neck to the exit opening. The valve seat has arranged thereabove an elastic seal which is held with an annular section on the valve seat and comprises a sleeve-like section which surrounds the projection of the valve seat at a radial distance with the exception of its end section which rests on the end section of the projection. A sterilization zone of silver or the like is arranged in the space between the projection of the valve seat and the elastic seal. The application of pressure to the contents of the container has the effect that the sleeve-like part is axially displaced relative to the pin-like projection, so that the contents of the container can exit. Seated on the container neck are also an inner cap and an outer cap which are in threaded engagement with one another. In the closing position of the outer cap, the sleeve-like section of the seal is firmly pressed against the projection of the valve seat, so that no container contents can exit. This system is excellently suited for applying multiple doses without any contamination.

Title: Method and apparatus for controlling access to a multimedia broadcast multicast service in a packet data communication system
Inventor: CAI ZHIJUN
IPC: H04W28/08
Filed: 2004-04-23
Granted: 2011-06-07
Abstract: A communication system (100) determines whether to establish a point-to-multipoint communication or a point-to-point communication for conveyance of Multimedia Broadcast Multicast Service (MBMS) data based on a number of mobile stations (MSs) (102-104), both idle mode and maintaining an active connection, serviced by the system and subscribed to an MBMS service. The system. broadcasts (306) a control message that includes an access probability factor. In order to avoid overloading the systern with responses to the control message, MSs maintaining an active connection ignore (506, 508) the control message while idle mode MSs determine (506, 512) whether to respond based on the access probability factor. The system compares (310) a number of received responses to a threshold and determines whether to establish a point-to-multipoint communication (312) or a point-to-point communication (322) based on the comparison. The system also adjusts (314, 330) the access probability factor based on the number of responses.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for comparing the flow rate through an orifice within a master part with the orifice within a workpiece by subjecting each orifice to an identical fluid at an identical temperature, under an identical pressure, and comparing the downstream pressures of the fluid exiting these orifices when the upstream pressure is constant or comparing the upstream pressure when the downstream pressure is constant. For purely measurement purposes, the fluid may be a non-abrasive media, however, in the event the workpiece orifice must be machined, it is possible to introduce a flowable abrasive media, and pass this media through the orifices until the desired pressure difference is achieved. With additional flow characteristics of the master part, it is also possible to calculate the flow rate through the workpiece orifice using only the pressure differential at the exits of the workpiece and the master part.

Title: System and method for downhole telemetry
Inventor: PETROVIC JOHN
IPC: E21B47/13
Filed: 2006-04-21
Granted: 2009-07-07
Abstract: A system and method are provided for providing electromagnetic (EM) measurement-while--drilling (MWD) telemetry capabilities using an existing mud- pulse MWD tool. An EM tool intercepts the output from the mud-pulse tool and generates an EM signal that mimics a mud--pulse pressure signal. The EM signal is intercepted at the surface by a receiver module that conditions the signal and inputs the signal into the existing pulse tool receiver. Since the EM signal mimics a mud-pulse signal, the pulse tool receiver does not require software or hardware modifications in order to process an EM telemetry mode. The EM tool can be adapted to also provide dual telemetry by incorporating a conventional pressure pulser that would normally be used with the pulse tool. A gap sub assembly for isolating the drill string is also provided that includes a pair of subs whose shoulders are separated by a non-conductive ceramic material and whose threads are separated by an insulative material, preferably a Kevlar.TM. cloth.
