IPC: G02B6/255
Filed: 2005-11-11
Abstract: Disclosed are a method and a device for connecting optical fibers, said method encompassing a step in which the eccentricity of the core relative to the cladding is determined. In a first step of the disclosed method, the optical fibers (11, 12) are heated for a limited period of time, whereby the cores of the glass fibers are excited so as to emit visible light. The position of the cores is determined by measuring an intensity distribution of the emitted light. A light (41, 42) is switched on in order to illuminate the optical fibers (11, 12) in a second step. The position of the claddings can be determined by measuring the intensity distribution of the light penetrating the optical fibers (11, 12). The eccentricity can be determined from a combination of the two measurements. The two optical fibers are aligned relative to each other in order to connect the same once the eccentricity has been determined.

Title: Removal and repositioning device
Inventor: LAMPORT RONALD B
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 2006-03-17
Abstract: A device for repositioning an implantable device within a natural bodily lumen includes an inner tube defining an internal lumen and adapted for insertion into a natural bodily lumen. An elongated member is slidably or rotatably disposed within the lumen of the inner tube, with a grasper disposed at the distal end of the elongated member adapted to grasp a portion of the implantable device. The implantable device, once grasped, can be at least partially collapsed. For example, a hook-shaped grasper grasps a drawstring of the implantable device, manipulating the drawstring and causing the implant to radially collapse. A retrieval hood is advanced over the collapsed portion of the implantable device. While maintaining its grasp, the repositioning device and the implantable device can then be repositioned or removed as one unit from the body by pulling the repositioning device from its proximal end.

IPC: E01C5/00
Filed: 2006-01-18
Abstract: A wheeled slab removal device, for concrete or other materials, grabs and lifts a slab from a lower level to a higher lever, without dropping the wheels into the hole/space left by removing the slab. The device may include a pivotal jaw system that tightens its grasp on the slab as the weight of the slab pivots the jaw. An elongated central support/handle provides leverage, whereby a single operator may lift, pivot, and wheel the slab away, without the need to hoist the slab removal device and slab out of the hole left by the slab. Preferred versions of the device have a carry plate, and a pivotal jaw for grasping the slab between them, wherein the distance between the carry plate and the jaw may be adjusted, for example, by extending the longitudinal axis of the central support. In use, the preferred device is placed over the slab, the distance between the jaw and carry plate is shortened to grasp the slab, and the device handle is lifted to pivot the slab, at which time the jaw system tightens even more due to the weight of the slab pivoting the jaw and lengthening the central support. At generally the same time, the wheel system pivots to move the fulcrum for the device to a position on top of the adjacent concrete or other structure higher than the original position of the slab being removed.

Patent CA-2621451-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KASRAVI KAS
IPC: G06F17/27
Filed: 2006-09-19
Abstract: Systems, and associated apparatus, methods, or computer program products, may use ontologies to provide improved word recognition. The ontologies may be applied in word recognition processes to resolve ambiguities in language elements (e.g., words) where the values of some of the characters in the language elements are uncertain. Implementations of the method may use an ontology to resolve ambiguities in an input string of characters, for example.  In some implementations, the input string may be received from a language conversion source such as, for example, an optical character recognition (OCR) device that generates a string of characters in electronic form from visible character images, or a voice recognition (VR) device that generates a string of characters in electronic form from speech input. Some implementations may process the generated character strings by using an ontology in combination with syntactic and/or grammatical analysis engines to further improve word recognition accuracy.
