Patent CA-2606970-C (CA)
Inventor: JONES MICHAEL L
IPC: A61B18/16

Granted: 2009-12-29
Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided for precisely isolating a target lesion in a patient's body tissue, resulting in a high likelihood of "clean" margins about the lesion when it is removed for diagnosis and/or therapy. This approach advantageously will often result in the ability to both diagnose and treat a malignant lesion with only a single percutaneous procedure, with no follow-up percutaneous or surgical procedure required, while minimizing the risk of migration of possible cancerous cells from the lesion to surrounding tissue or the bloodstream. In particular, the apparatus comprises a biopsy instrument having a distal end adapted for entry into the patient's body, a longitudinal shaft, and a cutting element disposed along the shaft. The cutting element is actuatable between a radially retracted position and a radially extended position. Advantageously, the instrument is rotatable about its axis in the radially extended position to isolate a desired tissue specimen from surrounding tissue by defining a peripheral margin about the tissue specimen. Once the tissue specimen is isolated, it may be segmented by further manipulation of the cutting element, after which the tissue segments are preferably individually removed from the patient's body through a cannula or the like.  Alternatively, the specimen may be encapsulated and removed as an intact piece.

Abstract: A method of removing iron oxide scale from processed sheet metal comprises the steps of: providing a surface conditioning apparatus (10); and conditioning a surface of the processed sheet metal (46) with the surface conditioning apparatus (10). In general, the iron oxide scale generally comprises three layers prior to surface conditioning: a wustite layer (88) a magnetite layer (90) and a hematite layer (92). The wustite layer is bonded to a base metal substrate of the processed sheet metal. The magnetite layer is bonded to the wustite layer, and the hematite layer is bonded to the magnetite layer. The surface conditioning apparatus (10) has at least one surface conditioning member (70). The step of conditioning the surface of the processed sheet metal includes bringing the at least one surface conditioning member into engagement with the surface of the sheet metal. The surface conditioning member is brought into engagement with the surface in a manner to remove substantially all of the hematite and magnetite layers from the surface, and in a manner to remove some but not all of the wustite layer from the surface, so that a portion of the wustite layer remains bonded to the base metal substrate of the processed sheet metal after surface conditioning.

Abstract: Procédé selon lequel des particules (25) sont introduites dans un processus d'application de revêtement par thermo-injection en vue de la formation d'une couche de revêtement (24) sur une pièce (21). Dans ce processus, lesdites particules sont entraînées par un flux de gaz porteur (23) et déposées sur une pièce à recouvrir (21). Selon la présente invention, avant d'être introduites dans une conduite d'amenée (18) débouchant dans le dispositif d'application de revêtement par thermo-injection, lesdites particules sont dispersées dans un additif liquide ou solide, ledit additif passant à l'état gazeux dans le flux de gaz porteur après avoir quitté la conduite d'amenée. Un additif liquide est vaporisé ou un additif solide sublimé, les particules (25) étant ainsi séparées dans le flux de gaz porteur. La dispersion des particules dans l'additif simplifie avantageusement un dosage précis et empêche l'agglomération des particules en grumeaux, si bien qu'une meilleure homogénéité du flux de gaz porteur permet le dépôt de couches améliorées. Grâce au passage de l'additif à l'état gazeux, ce dernier n'est pas déposé dans la couche.
