Title: Adjustable implantable genitourinary device
Inventor: BURTON JOHN H
IPC: A61F2/00
Filed: 1998-06-12
Abstract: An implantable medical device and method for adjustably restricting a selected body lumen such as a urethra or ureter of a patient to treat urinary incontinence or ureteral reflux. The device includes an adjustable, self-sealing element having a continuous wall, including an inner surface defining a chamber. The adjustable element expands or contracts due to fluid volume introduced in the chamber for restricting a body lumen. After being implanted into a patient, the size of the adjustable element is altered by first locating the adjustable element implanted adjacent the body lumen, and then establishing fluid communication with the adjustable element. The volume of the adjustable element is then adjusted by either introducing or removing volume from the chamber of the adjustable element.

Patent CA-2295613-A1 (CA)
Inventor: JOHNSON BARBARA S
IPC: G06Q20/00
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: Systems and methods for automated loan repayment involve utilizing consumer payment authorization, clearing, and settlement systems to allow a merchant to reduce an outstanding loan amount. After a customer identifier (e.g., a credit, debit, smart, charge, payment, etc. card account number) is accepted as payment from the customer, information related to the payment is forwarded to a merchant processor.      The merchant processor acquires the information related to the payment, processes that information, and forwards at least a portion of the payment to a loan repayment receiver as repayment of at least a portion of the outstanding loan amount owed by the merchant. The loan repayment receiver receives the portion of the payment forwarded by the merchant processor and applies that portion to the outstanding loan amount owed by the merchant to reduce that outstanding loan amount.
Patent CA-2296274-A1 (CA)
Title: Method and apparatus for generating 3d models from medical images
Inventor: PALM CHARLES
IPC: G06V10/147
Filed: 1999-05-13
Abstract: A system for relating images and generating a 3D model of anatomy is described. This can be accomplished using three modules. A sculptor module (115) is used to spatially relate images of a patient. The images are generated using a number of different techniques, such as optical and x-ray.  The sculptor allows a user to identify the location of different anatomical points in each of the images. Thus, a sculptor allows a user to relate different anatomical points to each other in a 3D space and also relate the points to the images. The clinician module (125) uses the related points to modify or customize a stock model (e.g., a standard anatomical 3D model). The customized model that is created corresponds to a 3D model of the patient's anatomy.

Patent CA-2304718-A1 (CA)
Title: Clamping tool, especially a clamping clip, clamping rod or clamping bench
Inventor: BLANK STEFAN
IPC: B25H1/10
Filed: 1998-06-26
Abstract: The invention relates to a clamping tool, especially a clamping clip with a clamping area between a first mobile clamping jaw (1) which rests at the end of a pull or slide rod and a fixed second clamping jaw (2) which rests on a housing. The inventive clamping tool also comprises a pivoting handle (10). Said handle (10) is located opposite the fixed clamping jaw (2) in relation to the longitudinal extension of the pull rod and next to a grip situated on the housing side. As the handle (10) is displaced against the grip, the pull rod is displaced progressively in such a way that the first mobile clamping jaw is moved towards the second fixed clamping jaw, any back pressure being locked. The clamping tool also has a release lever for releasing the back pressure lock. This release lever rests on the housing. In order to increase the scope of application of the inventive clamping clip, both the handle (10) and the release lever (15) are located on the side of the grip (33) facing away from the clamping area (1, 2), the lever transmission ratios are adjusted as the clamping force increases for smaller displacement paths and the mobile clamping jaw can be moved back progressively by operating the release lever (15).

Title: Method and device for reception processing of a gps satellite l2 signal
Inventor: REVOL MARC
IPC: G01S1/00
Filed: 1999-09-24
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for determining position using GPS satellites of the NAVSTAR system. More specifically, it concerns reception processing of a GPS satellite L2 signal modulated by an encrypted code Y whereof the key is unknown enabling to estimate its delay relative to the L1 signal and deduce therefrom the extent of ionospheric refraction so as to take it into account and improve the accuracy of location. Said processing consists in bringing the L2 signal in lower band and despreading it using a non-encrypted P-code locally generated in reception by a local generator of non-encrypted spread P-code synchronised on the transmitted Y-code (encrypted P-code), using a phase locking loop with three parallel channels: one first channel demodulated by a punctual version of the locally-generated non-encrypted spread P-code, a second advance channel demodulated a first time by an advance version of the locally-generated non-encrypted spread P-code and a second time by the demodulated signal of the punctual channel, and a third delayed channel demodulated a first time by a delayed version of the locally-generated non-encrypted spread P-code and a second time by the demodulated signal of the punctual channel, synchronisation being obtained by finding out power equality of the carrier of the L2 signal output from the advance and delayed channels.
Patent CA-2312356-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOSTON STEVEN L
IPC: C23C2/00
Filed: 1998-10-29
Abstract: A zinc-coating pot for galvanizing steel strip has two levels along its bottom surface. The first, shallower level is located under a coating roll, thereby creating an area where the molten zinc-coating metal flow rate is relatively high. Dross particles remain suspended and do not accumulate on the bottom of the zinc-coating pot in this region. A  second, deeper level is located to one side of the first level. This second level creates a space wherein the molten metal flow rate is less than the terminal velocity of the dross particles. This encourages sedimentation of the dross particles in this region. It provides an accumulation area for any bottom dross to be later removed by a dross removal mechanism, such as mechanical scoops or by pumping, without interruption to the coating process.
