Patent CA-2433822-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WHITE GEOFFREY H
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 1997-08-27
Abstract: A system for delivering and implanting a radially expandable endoluminal prosthesis within a body lumen (e.g., blood vessel). The system comprises a) an introducer/dilator assembly, and b) a delivery catheter/loader assembly. The introducer/dilator assembly comprises an elongate tubular introducer sheath which may be provided with a valving assembly mounted on the proximal end thereof. Such valving assembly may incorporate i) a hemostatic valve, ii) a first sealing valve and iii) a second sealing valve, positioned in series, to prevent leakage of body fluid out of the proximal end of the introducer and to permit two or more elongate members (e.g., catheters, guidewires) having differing outer diameters to be inserted through the introducer without leakage of body fluid therefrom. A dilator, which has regionalized differences in stiffness, is initially deployable within the lumen of the introducer to facilitate advancement of the introducer to its desired location within the body. Thereafter, the dilator may be removed from the introducer sheath and the delivery catheter/loader assembly may be attached to the introducer, such that the delivery catheter having the prosthesis mounted thereon may advanced through the introducer, to a desired location within the body. Thereafter, the radial expandable endoluminal prosthesis mounted on the delivery catheter is deployed and implanted by an expansion device (e.g., balloon) formed on the delivery catheter. The delivery catheter may incorporate one or more outflow apertures at specific location(s) to facilitate injection of radiographic contrast medium in a manner which will check for leakage around the endoluminal prosthesis, after the endoluminal prosthesis has been radially expanded and implanted.
Patent CA-2433989-A1 (CA)
Title: Coated stainless-steel/copper weld for electroplating cathode
Inventor: PREIMESBERGER NEAL J
IPC: C25C7/02
Filed: 2003-06-30
Abstract: A copper welding rod is used in an arc-welding operation to form a bead that joins a copper starter sheet and a stainless steel hanger bar. The amperage level of the arc-welding equipment is set to generate heat at the weld site which is above the melting point of copper and below the melting point of stainless steel. This results in a welded joint between the copper bead and the hanger bar and a brazed joint between the copper bead and the starter sheet. Since brazing produces little or no fusion, the area of contact between the two dissimilar metals is limited to the interface between them, which significantly reduces the damaging effects of galvanic corrosion. Another improvement lies in the application of a corrosion- resistant metallic coating on the joint between the hanger bar and the starter sheet using a high velocity oxygen fuel flame spray technique.

Patent CA-2454276-A1 (CA)
Title: Neural progenitor cells
Inventor: WEISS SAMUEL
IPC: A61K35/12
Filed: 2002-04-26
Abstract: The present invention is related to the discovery of a novel class of neural progenitor cells, which proliferate in response to platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) and differentiate into neurons and oligodendrocytes but not astrocytes. Progeny of the progenitor cells can be obtained by culturing brain tissue in PDGF without serum, epidermal growth factor (EGF), fibroblast growth factor 2, or transforming growth factor alpha. Upon subculturing into EGF-containing media, these progeny cells can proliferate and form neurospheres, whereas PDGF has no such effect.
