Title: Circuit de commutation de deux blocs d'alimentation pour utilisation en circuit ferme
Inventor: GINGGEN ALEC
IPC: A61F2/48
Filed: 2005-09-28
Abstract: Un circuit de commutation de puissance optimale pour utilisation dans un système fermé tel quun système TET comprend un dispositif interne séparé dun dispositif externe par une limite. Les dispositifs interne et externe sont alimentés par des sources dénergie séparées. Pendant une télécommunication télémétrique du dispositif externe au dispositif interne, une source dénergie RF externe est produite. Si lénergie fournie par la source dénergie RF externe produite pendant la communication du dispositif externe au dispositif interne excède celle requise pour alimenter le dispositif interne, alors le circuit de commutation de puissance coupe la puissance vers la source dalimentation interne et tire plutôt son énergie de la source dénergie RF externe, conservant ainsi lénergie consommée à partir de la source dénergie interne. Le circuit de commutation de puissance peut être mis en uvre en utilisant soit des composants passifs (par ex., des diodes) ou des composants actifs (par ex., un commutateur analogique).

Abstract: A delivery vehicle for a silver ion source such as silver nitrate and the like, suitable for use in the treatment of menorrhagia, comprises a plurality of physiologically inert beads bearing a tissue cauterizing amount of a silver ion source. Preferably the beads are made of a physiologically inert polymer, ceramic or stainless steel. The silver ion source preferably is silver nitrate and can be substantially pure silver nitrate, or can comprise silver nitrate in combination with a physiologically tolerable binder or a diluent. Suitable binders include physiologically tolerable synthetic polymeric binders, polysaccharide binders, and the like. Diluents can include other salt materials such as potassium nitrate. The beads are useful in treating menorrhagia of a mammalian uterus. The beads can be delivered to the uterus via a catheter, and are distributed throughout the uterine cavity by uterine massage or like expedient. Silver ions are delivered to the endometrium and cause necrosis of the endometrial tissue. The silver ions remaining within the uterine cavity can then be neutralized with a sodium chloride solution delivered to the uterus e.g., by catheter, and the beads recovered from the uterus.

Patent CA-2546703-A1 (CA)
Title: Regulation of sperm function
Inventor: VINSON GAVIN
IPC: A61K35/52
Filed: 2004-11-22
Abstract: An extracellular matrix protein, such as fibronectin, vitronectin or laminin, is added to a sperm sample to bring the sperm into a low motility, non-capacitated state or maintain a pre-existing non-capacitated state.  Subsequently, at an appropriate time in an in vitro fertilization study or in vivo fertilization procedure, angiotensin II or a related peptide is added to the sperm sample to enhance motility and capacitate the sperm. The extracellular matrix protein prevents undesirable early natural capacitation, and artificial insemination procedures can be made more precise, as sperm can be brought to the right state of capacitation for transfer at precisely the right time. The treatment with angiotensin II can be combined with use of the peptide RGD to compete with the binding of the extracellular matrix protein and so suppress its effect.

Abstract: L'invention concerne une tige de forage (134) formant un canal de transmission acoustique pour des données devant être transmises depuis un émetteur-récepteur de fond (136) jusqu'à un émetteur-récepteur de surface (132). En plaçant un premier atténuateur acoustique basse fréquence (154) entre un outil de forage (156) et l'émetteur-récepteur de fond (136), on atténue le bruit acoustique produit par l'outil de forage. De la même manière, en plaçant l'émetteur-récepteur de surface (132) entre le sommet de la tige de forage (134) et un deuxième atténuateur acoustique basse fréquence (130), on atténue le bruit acoustique produit par l'équipement de surface. Ainsi, le premier et le deuxième atténuateur acoustique basse fréquence (130, 154) servent de terminateurs pour le canal de transmission acoustique. Finalement, en combinant un troisième atténuateur acoustique basse fréquence (138) placé entre une première section et une seconde section de la tige de forage, le premier et le second émetteur-récepteur acoustique (136, 140) étant isolés sur le plan acoustique l'un par rapport à l'autre par le troisième atténuateur acoustique basse fréquence (138) et couplés de façon non acoustique l'un à l'autre pour l'échange bidirectionnel de signaux, on obtient un répéteur acoustique pour le canal de transmission.
