Title: Electrosurgical snare
Inventor: HANCOCK CHRISTOPHER PAUL
IPC: A61B18/18
Filed: 2014-06-26
Abstract: An electrosurgical snare 100 is arranged to radiate microwave frequency energy (e.g. >1 GHz) from an elongate conductive antenna 122 within an area encircled by a retractable loop 118. The antenna is coupled to the inner conductor 104 of a coaxial cable 106 which delivers microwave energy from a generator to the probe tip, where the cable is capped by an insulating snare base 112 having a feed channel to guide passage of the retractable loop. The antenna and retractable loop may be independently slidable relative to the snare base to aid deployment. The antenna may be a straight extension of the inner coax conductor (in which case the retractable loop is of electrically conductive material), or it may be a flexible C-shaped element (132, figure 2A) or it may be a conductive coating (142, figure 3A) on the retractable loop. The probe may be sized for insertion down the instrument channel of an endoscope.

Title: Method and apparatus for Network independent minimization of Drive Test (MDT) measurements
Inventor: PETER GOULD
IPC: H04W24/10
Filed: 2016-09-15
Abstract: A User Equipment (i.e. UE) collects measurement data, including its location. The measurement data is sent to a central control unit (CCU). The CCU responds by returning control information to the UE. The control information may be used to define the measurement collection period at the UE. The control information may be determined based on: the number of existing measurements or samples collected within the vicinity of the UE; the traffic loading on the network in the vicinity of the UE; and/or the battery level reported by the UE. In another aspect of the invention the control information is used to configure the measurement collection process of the UE. The invention may be based in an LTE, UMTS or GSM telecommunications network. By taking into account the traffic loading in an area the impact of the measurement process on the network may be reduced. Also by considering the battery level of the UE the measurement reporting process may be altered in order to extend the battery life of the UE. The invention also mentions the use of MDT (Minimization of Drive Tests).
