Title: Automatic operation of a wireless device based on physical speed
Inventor: WORMALD CHRIS
IPC: H04W4/029
Filed: 2007-10-24
Abstract: A wireless device operates in an operating state determined as a function of the wireless device's physical physical speed.  In some implementations, the wireless device determines the physical speed using a GPS (global positioning system). If the wireless device determines based on the physical position and/or physical speed that the user is driving an automobile in a region in which using a wireless device is not permitted while driving, then the wireless device automatically disables device features. However, if the user is actually a passenger, then the user may over-ride the automatic disabling of device features. In some implementations, the wireless device also informs other wireless users that communication is inappropriate or impossible. In some implementations, the wireless device also informs a communications node to process communications directed to the wireless device.

Filed: 2008-06-27
Abstract: A catheter enables real-time light measurements, for example, without limitation, diffuse reflectance, fluorescence, etc., from biological materials, such as tissue (including blood), while performing RF ablation. The catheter tip design isolates illumination and collection paths such that light exits the catheter tip and travels through the tissue of interest (e.g., cardiac tissue or blood) before returning to the catheter tip. Such a design advantageously avoids saturation of the optical detector, and ensures diffusion of the illumination light within the medium of interest. The catheter has a catheter body and a tip electrode. The tip electrode has an exterior shell, an inner layer of diffuse material and a hollow cavity, wherein the inner layer is configured to transmit light outside the tip electrode to a tissue via a set of illumination openings in the shell wall and the hollow cavity is configured to receive light from the tissue via a set of collection openings in the shell wall and the inner layer. An inner surface of the inner layer has a reflective coating to isolate light injected into the inner layer from light collected in the hollow cavity. There are a first optical waveguide extending between the catheter body and the tip electrode to inject light into the inner layer and illuminate the tissue, and a second optical waveguide extending between the catheter body and the tip electrode to collect the recaptured light in the hollow cavity.

Abstract: Provided is a temperature control system which can suppress cell voltage fluctuation even in the case of starting cells under low temperature environment. The temperature control system for the fuel cells controls the temperature of the fuel cells by circulating a heat transfer medium in the fuel cell. The system is characterized in having a circulation control means which circulates the heat transfer medium of a larger flow quantity for low-temperature operation than that for normal operation. Since the flow quantity of the heat transfer medium (cooling water or the like) for low-temperature start is set larger than that for normal start, temperature fluctuation between the cells can be suppressed even in the case of warming for the low-temperature start, and as a result, the cell voltage fluctuation can be suppressed.
