Abstract: A system is provided for transmitting information through a speech codec (in-band) such as found in a wireless communication network. A modulator transforms the data into a spectrally noise-like signal based on the mapping of a shaped pulse to predetermined positions within a modulation frame, and the signal is efficiently encoded by a speech codec. A synchronization sequence provides modulation frame timing at the receiver and is detected based on analysis of a correlation peak pattern. A request/response protocol provides reliable transfer of data using message redundancy, retransmission, and/or robust modulation modes dependent on the communication channel conditions.

Title: Electrosurgical instrument and method of use
Inventor: TRUCKAI CSABA
IPC: A61B1/00
Filed: 2003-01-22
Abstract: An electrosurgical medical device and method (Fig. 8A) for creating thermal welds in engaged tissue. In one embodiment, at least one jaw of the instrument defines a tissue engagement plane carrying a conductive-resistive matrix of a conductively-doped non-conductive elastomer. The engagement surface portions thus can be described as a positive temperature coefficient material that has a unique selected decreased electrical conductance at each selected increased temperature thereof over a targeted treatment range. The conductive-resistance matrix can be engineered to bracket a targeted thermal treatment range, for example about 60°C to 80°C, at which tissue welding can be accomplished. In one mode of operation, the engagement plane will automatically modulate and spatially localize ohmic heating within the engaged tissue from Rf energy application-across-micron-scale portions of the engagement surface (155A). In another mode of operation, a conductive-resistive matrix can induce a "wave" of Rf energy density to sweep across the tissue to thereby weld tissue

Abstract: A cableway system for conveying skiers from a valley station to a mountain station has a continuous, and continuously moving, conveying cable, which is guided in the terminal stations via deflecting pulleys, of which at least one is a driven head wheel.  The system includes chairs with seats for several skiers. The chairs are uncoupled from the conveying cable at the entrance into the stations, and guided through the stations, along guide rails, at a speed which is reduced in relation to the speed of the conveying cable, wherein the skiers sit on these chairs, or disembark therefrom, and the chairs are once more coupled to the conveying cable at the exit of the station. Skier-access barriers, are located in the valley station through which the skiers pass into the region of the movement paths of the chairs. A marking is provided in the region of the movement path of the chairs that indicates to the skiers the necessary positions for sitting on the chairs. The marking here is formed by a plurality of luminaires or luminary groups arranged in the surface of the ground in a direction transverse to the movement direction of the chairs, wherein each of the seats located on the chair is assigned a separate luminaire or luminary group.
