Patent CA-2427908-A1 (CA)
Inventor: TEIJIDO JUAN MANUEL
IPC: A61B3/117
Filed: 2001-11-15
Abstract: The invention relates to a device (1.3) for examining and/or treating an eye (15). Said device comprises a base body (2.3) and an attachment body (3.3), which can be combined and applied to the eye, a gel-type liquid (14) being introduced between the two bodies so that the indices can be matched. To allow air or excess liquid between the two bodies to escape, the interior of the attachment body is provided with a large number of protuberances (13.1), which ensure a minimum distance is maintained between the two bodies. As only the attachment body comes into contact with the eye or the patient during examination/treatment and not the base body, only the attachment body must be manufactured so that it can be sterilised, a single sterilisation that is integrated into the production process being sufficient. The attachment body can be produced from cheap materials in a simple manner as a disposable item.  The base body on the other hand only requires disinfection. This division of the device also allows a large number of base bodies with different configurations to be used with one single attachment body, or a large number of attachment bodies with different configurations to be used with one single base body. A large number of different eye examinations or treatments can thus be carried out using a small number of base or attachment bodies with different configurations.

Title: Compressor discharge assembly
Inventor: SKINNER ROBIN G
IPC: F04B39/12
Filed: 2003-09-19
Abstract: A compressor assembly having a housing in which a compressor mechanism and discharge chamber are located. A first port communicates compressed gas and oil from the compressor mechanism to the discharge chamber. A one-way valve allows the compressed gas and oil to enter the discharge chamber through the first port. A second port in the discharge chamber defines an outlet in the housing through which compressed gas and oil are discharged from the compressor assembly. The second port is disposed vertically below the first port in the lower half of the discharge chamber to thereby limit the quantity of oil which may collect in the discharge chamber. The second port may be defined by a discharge tube which passes through the housing at a flat portion of the housing which thereby facilitates the welding of the tube to the housing.

Title: Evaluating an organization's level of self-reporting
Inventor: EVANS PAUL JAMES
IPC: G06Q10/06
Filed: 2002-07-24
Abstract: A software-based tool provides an evaluation of a company's level of reporting about itself. The tool can, in some case provide an assessment of a company's communications against a framework that assumes transparent reporting is desirable. A comparison with pre-selected criteria such as a pre-selected peer group of companies or against a set of recommended practices may be provided in some implementations. Based on the result of the analysis (108), a score (104) can be generated for different areas of the framework. The scores (104) can be summarized in a executive level presentation (110) that may include, in some implementations, benchmark results against the framework and the pre-selected criteria, identification of best practice examples, the recommendations for improvement.

Title: Image acquisition with depth enhancement
Inventor: SEIBEL ERIC
IPC: H04N13/239
Filed: 2002-08-22
Abstract: A minimally invasive, medical, image acquisitions system outputs a light beam (30, 32) or pulse which illuminates a precise spot size. A plurality of photon detectors (14) detect returning photons (44) from the object, including the spot. Pixel resolution is determined by the area of the illumination spot (and thus the lens configuration), rather than an area sensed by the detector.  Depth enhancement is determined by correlating images detected by the respective detectors, or alternatively by a range finding method based on phase difference, time of light, frequency or interferometry.

Title: Combined torque measurement and clutch apparatus
Inventor: ANDERSON STEPHEN A
IPC: G01L3/14
Filed: 2002-11-07
Abstract: A method of using a magnetic fluid clutch for torque measurement comprises steps of modulating electric current through a coil of the magnetic fluid clutch to maintain a steady-state quasi-solid phase of a magnetic fluid medium contained within the magnetic fluid clutch when the magnetic fluid clutch is clutched to transmit torque from a torque input end of the clutch to a torque output end of the clutch, thereby ensuring that the torque output end rotates in response to the rotation of the torque input end without relative rotational slippage therebetween; and measuring a deflection value associated with the magnetic fluid clutch. The clutch is thereby used as a combined torque measurement and clutch apparatus.
