Abstract: A blood clot filter which is collapsible toward a central longitudinal axis into a collapsed configuration for insertion into a blood vessel and which is radially expandable outwardly from the longitudinal axis to an expanded configuration for contact with the inner wall of the blood vessel at two longitudinally spaced locations. A first plurality of spaced, elongate arms, in the expanded configuration of the filter, curve outwardly away from the longitudinal axis toward the trailing end of the filter to form a first filter basket. These arms prevent movement of the filter in a first longitudinal direction. A second plurality of spaced elongate legs angle outwardly away from the longitudinal axis toward the leading edge of the filter in the expanded configuration thereof. These second legs form a second filter basket opening toward the leading end and prevent longitudinal movement of the filter in a second direction opposite to the first direction.

Title: Method for reduced bit-depth quantization
Inventor: KEROFSKY LOUIS JOSEPH
IPC: H03M7/30
Filed: 2002-08-08
Granted: 2011-07-19
Abstract: A method is provided for the quantization of a coefficient. The method comprises: supplying a coefficient K; supplying a quantization parameter (QP); forming a quantization value (1) from the coefficient K using a mantissa portion (Am (QP)) and an exponential portion (x a e (Q P)). Typically, the value of x is 2. In some aspects of the method, forming a quantization value (1) from the coefficient K includes L = K*A(QP) = K*Am(QP)* (2 A e(Q P)). In other aspects, the method further comprises: normalizing the quantization value by 2N as follows: Ln = L/2N = K*Am(QP)/2(N-A e(Q p)). In some aspects, forming a quantization value includes forming a set of recursive quantization factors with a period P, where A(QP+P) = A(QP)/x. Forming recursive quantization factors includes forming recursive mantissa factors, where Am(QP) = Am(QP mod P), and forming recursive quantization factors includes forming recursive exponential factors, where Ae(QP) = Ae(QP mod P) - QP/P.

Title: Improved apparatus and method for control of high intensity discharge lighting
Inventor: ARCHDEKIN JAMES M
IPC: H05B41/36
Filed: 2005-08-26
Granted: 2010-07-20
Abstract: An improved apparatus and method for control of discharge lighting, such as HID (high intensity discharge) lighting, effects full-voltage start up of the lighting, and sustained operation of the lighting at a reduced voltage after a selected and variable start-up phase or interval. The apparatus includes an auto transformer (28 and 30) having a primary winding and a secondary winding.  The primary winding is always in series with the load, but may be shorted to connect full line voltage from the line to the load. When the primary winding is not shorted, the secondary winding is connected to the load also, so that reduced voltage is provided to the load. A thermal analog device (36) simulates the warm up time constant of the HID lighting unit, so that the reduction in operating voltage to the HID lighting unit is effected only after this lighting unit has achieved a sufficiently high temperature to sustain operation at a reduced operating voltage.

Abstract: With the current initialization procedures defined in the VDSL and ADSL  standards, even though the xDSL system could operate in Showtime in an impulse noise environment where symbols are being corrupted, the transceivers would not be able to reach Showtime because initialization would fail due to initialization message failure. Through the use of an improved initialization procedure for communication systems, operation in environments with higher levels of impulse noise is possible.

Granted: 2013-01-15
Abstract: The invention is a tool that accurately predicts the performance of each different priority or service level on a PON with multiple different service types and multiple users. Delays and bit rates are computed accounting for all packet, protocol, propagation, and scheduling overhead. The performance and delays of all services are further verified by running a real¬ time simulation that identically mimics the operation of an actual PON, resulting in very close prediction of the performances of different services before the services are actually used or tested for use by the subscribers. The invention allows the service provider to sell the maximum number of services possible, while still ensuring that they can all function acceptably. The tool may be used to model and predict behavior of various PON.
