Patent CA-2814146-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KAY JACK
IPC: B60G11/02
Filed: 2013-04-23
Abstract: Load stabilizing inserts for a motor vehicle. The inserts include a base plate, a top plate spaced apart from and angularly pivotable with respect to the base plate, and one or more contact plates. The insert is sized and shaped for insertion between an overload spring and a spring pack in a motor vehicle such as a pickup truck. Four load stabilizing inserts may be installed to provide stable operation of the pickup truck when loaded at or near the maximum design gross operating weight of the vehicle. During those periods when the truck is not loaded, such as when a truck camper is not installed, the load stabilizing inserts may be angularly adjusted and secured in an open, non-working position, to provide a relatively soft ride during such position.

IPC: G16B20/20
Filed: 2012-01-05
Abstract: Methods, apparatuses, and system are provided for analyzing a maternal sample to determine whether a male fetus of a pregnant female has inherited an X-linked mutation from the mother. A percentage of fetal DNA in the sample is obtained, and cutoff values for the two possibilities (fetus inherits mutant or normal allele) are determined. A proportion of mutant alleles relative to a normal allele on the X-chromosome can then be compared to the cutoff values to make a classification of which allele is inherited. Alternatively, a number of alleles from a target region on the X-chromosome can be compared to a number of alleles from a reference region on the X-chromosome to identify a deletion or amplification. The fetal DNA percentage can be computed by counting reactions with a fetal-specific allele, and correcting the number to account for a statistical distribution among the reactions.

Title: Ultrasound probe
Inventor: COCHRAN SANDY
IPC: A61B8/08
Filed: 2012-08-24
Abstract: An ultrasound probe (10) comprises a pair of one dimensional transducer modules (1, 2) arranged in-line but set apart from each other in a shallow "V" shape. This allows a wide gap for needle manipulation while maintaining the ability to compute a good acoustic image of the target area (4) on an ultrasound scan engine. The ultrasound image is a product of data from both the arrays. The probe (10) is shaped to allow ergonomic manipulation possibilities for the anaesthetist. The probe can be held in a "pencil-type" grip anywhere on the main body, or by pushing directly on the back of arrays. The shape of the probe, means it sits in position better on a patient than a conventional probe.
