Patent CA-2287586-A1 (CA)
Title: System and method for calculating scatter radiation
Inventor: SIOCHI RAMON ALFREDO CARVALHO
IPC: G06F19/00
Filed: 1999-10-25
Abstract: The present invention relates to a fast and accurate method for calculating fluence of a calculation plane (210) over a patient. According to an embodiment of the present invention, only a subset (560, 562) of the collimator leaves (104) are analyzed for the fluence calculation, thus reducing the number of calculations required. Additionally, pre-integrated values of scatter strips (520), associated with each point of the calculation plane (210), may be referenced in a lookup table (1010). The use of these pre-integrated values allows the avoidance of adding the fluence contribution of each square on the scattering plane (202). Rather, pre-calculated values of a subset (560, 562) of the scattering plane (202) (scatter strip (520)) may be referenced and combined, thus reducing the number of calculations required for a final scatter contribution to a point (500, 500a, 500b, 500c) on the calculation plane (210). Further, the thickness of the collimator leaves (104) is considered in the fluence calculation, thus providing a more accurate model for the scatter contributions of points on the scattering plane (202).

Title: Capillary electrophoretic apparatus
Inventor: FUJIWAKE HIDESHI
IPC: G01N21/64
Filed: 1999-11-17
Abstract: A sample is separated and separated components thereof are successively fed to a part to be detected. A laser beam of at least 600 nm from a laser beam source of an optical measuring part is applied to the part to be detected through a dichroic mirror and a lens, for making a fluorochrome bonded to the separated components absorb multiphotons, exciting the fluorochrome and making the same fluoresce. The optical measuring part captures the fluorescence so that photomultipliers detect fluorescence of not more than 510 nm in wavelength, fluorescence longer than 510 nm and not more than 560 nm in wavelength, fluorescence longer than 560 nm and not more than 580 nm in wavelength and fluorescence longer than 580 in wavelength respectively. Thus, a capillary electrophoretic apparatus can detect fluorescence from a fluorochrome bonded to samples as a label without influence by Raman scattering or Rayleigh scattering.

Title: Local exchange carrier escape list for local number portability
Inventor: FREY BERT LEE JR
IPC: H04M3/42
Filed: 1999-12-06
Abstract: A telecommunications system and method for managing Local Number Portability (LNP) querying for calls routed to Local Exchange Carriers by providing a list of carriers in the Service Switching Point (SSP) (local service provider) for whom LNP querying is to be performed by the SSP. For example, calls destined to carriers on the list will be queried by the originating SSP, or other intermediate SSP, and calls destined for carriers not on the list will not be queried by the originating SSP, but instead will be directly routed to the carrier for LNP querying. Advantageously, the local service providers (SSPs) can perform LNP queries for calls destined to certain carriers and charge them for the queries. This will enable small local exchange carriers to provide competitive service in the network by purchasing the LNP querying facility from the SSPs.      Furthermore, LNP querying will now be able to be provided for every call routed through an Local Exchange Carrier (LEC), regardless of whether the LEC has LNP querying capability.

Patent CA-2314320-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ABEND THOMAS
IPC: C08G18/80
Filed: 1998-12-09
Abstract: The invention relates to methods for producing storage-stable, latent-reactive layers and powders of surface-deactivated, solid polyisocyanates and dispersions or aqueous solutions of isocyanate reactive polymers, which can be used as adhesives and coverings. Said dispersions, suspensions or aqueous solutions can be applied to a substrate in an appropriate form. Water can then be eliminated at a temperature inferior to the reaction temperature of the isocyanates and this operation can take place at a temperature above the softening temperature of the polymers. This process produces, at ambient temperature, dry and substantially water free layers which are storage stable and can react with the polymers at the polyisocyanate reaction temperature. The influence of temperatures above the reaction temperature of the surface-deactivated, solid polyisocyanates results in production of layers which are cross-linked to the functional groups of the polymer through reactions, said layers displaying high heat-resistance and high chemical storage stability. These latent-reactive products in layer- or powder form can be used for manufacturing glued assemblies and coverings.

Abstract: Des cellules nucléées cibles, et des cellules cibles contenant de la matière ribosomique résiduelle, qui sont présentes dans un échantillon de sang entier additionné d'anticoagulant et quiescent, font l'objet d'une détection optique, d'une numération et d'une analyse dans une chambre à échantillons (14) qui possède une épaisseur plan à plan variable résultant de la présence de parois opposées et convergentes. L'une au moins des parois convergentes (8) de la chambre est transparente de sorte que l'échantillon sanguin peut être observé. L'épaisseur variable de la chambre définit à l'intérieur de ladite chambre une première région (A) d'épaisseur inférieure où des érythrocytes individuels (32) et des monocouches quiescentes (31) d'érythrocytes de l'échantillon vont résider après introduction de l'échantillon dans la chambre et remplissage de celle-ci par l'échantillon. Des constituants formés de plus grande taille tels que les leucocytes (34) et les érythrocytes nucléés présents dans l'échantillon vont résider dans des régions (B) d'épaisseur plus importante de la chambre, et les érythrocytes non-nucléés qui résident dans de telles régions d'épaisseur plus importante vont s'agglomérer pour former des rouleaux (33). Il est possible, en mélangeant des colorants fluorescents avec l'échantillon, de dénombrer et de différentier les cellules cibles de l'échantillon au moyen d'un instrument à balayage (54) qui peut mesurer des signaux couleur de longueur d'onde différente émis par les cellules cibles de l'échantillon, et différentier les cellules cibles les unes des autres en raison de la nature des signaux couleur émis.

Title: Method and apparatus for deflecting a catheter or lead
Inventor: BAUMANN JAMES C
IPC: A61M25/01
Filed: 1999-04-16
Abstract: An apparatus for deflecting a catheter or lead, for example a deflectable stylet or guidewire. The device includes an outer tubular member, a tension member mounted within the outer tubular member and coupled to the outer member and a handle mounted at the proximal end of the tubular member. The handle includes a major handle portion which has a rotatable knob located at its distal end, surrounding a proximal portion of the outer tubular member and provided with inwardly directed threading and an inner slider member provided with outwardly directed threading engaging the inwardly directed threading of the knob.
