Publication number: 20230240538Abstract: Provided are Raman systems and methods for detection of cancerous tissues in tumor margins in real time during surgical procedures. The systems include a laser excitation source, a probe, a spectrometer and a camera specifically designed for use of Raman spectroscopy in real time during surgery. The inventive methods pertain to quality assessment of Raman data, comparison of obtained Raman data against known biomarkers and classification of tissue as cancerous or non-cancerous on the basis of corresponding Raman data. The systems and methods allow for previously unavailable detection and classification of tissue with Raman spectroscopy in real time surgical applications, including the identification of cancer sub-types.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 17, 2019Publication date: August 3, 2023Inventors: Rajeev Yadav, Jean-Philippe Tremblay, Rajeev Agarwal

Patent number: 9127017Abstract: There are provided compounds comprising optionally substituted (FORMULA I) fused with one or two optionally substituted (FORMULA II), wherein A and E each independently represent —CH2—, —NH—, —O—, —S—, or —C(?O)— and B represents a bond, —CH2—, —NH—, —O—, —S—, or —C(?O)—, said compound having directly or indirectly attached thereto at least one acyl and/or oxime ester group. Such compounds are useful inter alias as photoinitiators.Type: GrantFiled: May 24, 2012Date of Patent: September 8, 2015Assignee: American Dye Source, Inc.Inventors: My T. Nguyen, Jean-Philippe Tremblay-Morin, Philippe Gaudreault

Publication number: 20150000045Abstract: A patient support for supporting a patient includes an inflatable mattress having at least one bladder forming at least part of a patient support surface, a pneumatic system for inflating the inflatable mattress, and a control system. The control system including at least one sensor, which includes an emitter and a receiver, with the emitter directing light into the bladder. The receiver receives a reflection from the light directed into the bladder, and the control system detects the immersion of a patient into the mattress based on the reflection received by the receiver.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 16, 2014Publication date: January 1, 2015Inventors: Patrick Lafleche, Jean-Francois Girard, Derick Elliot, Benoit Martel, Luc Petitpas, Jean Bizouard, Sébastien Viger, Chad Rohrer, Jérome Marcotte, Philippe Tremblay, Stéphane Duguay, Sylvain LaCasse, Clément Nadeau, Stephanie Ludke, Phillipe Roy, Alex Duchesneau

Patent number: 8856992Abstract: A patient support for a patient includes a mattress with at least one air operated component and a cushioning layer forming a patient support surface. The mattress has a recessed portion beneath the patient support surface at the foot end of the mattress with an enclosure housed in the recess. The enclosure houses therein at least one pump for directing air to the air operated component and a controller for operating the pump. The enclosure has a central section and two side sections, with each of the sections having an upper side. The side sections are located on opposed sides of the central section and at opposed sides of the mattress at the foot end. The upper side of the central section is recessed below the upper sides of the side sections wherein the depth of the cushioning layer at the foot end between the side sections is maintained generally constant at least along the central portion of the mattress extending from the head end to the foot end.Type: GrantFiled: February 7, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Stryker CorporationInventors: Patrick Lafleche, Jean-Francois Girard, Derick Elliott, Martel Benoit, Luc Petitpas, Jean Bizouard, Sébastien Viger, Chad Rohrer, Jérôme Marcotte, Philippe Tremblay, Stephane Duguay, Sylvain LaCasse, Clément Nadeau, Stephanie Ludke, Philippe Roy, Alex Duchesneau
