Abstract: A simulated heart valve (22) root used for training physicians in techniques of implantation of prosthetic heart valves and testing the efficacy of prosthetic heart valves. The simulated heart valve root is made of a flexible, tubular body (30) having an inner wall (36) defining an annular ledge (60) within which the prosthetic heart valve is implanted. Discrete nodes or areas of calcification may be simulated on the annular ledge by using pins (38) having their inner ends a pinhead shape. A simulated aortic root includes alternating cusps (50) and commissures (52) with calcification simulated at least at one of the commissures. A tear (80) in the annular ledge may also be provided which simulates a tear that might occur from a valvuloplasty procedure. A method of testing includes mounting the simulated heart valve root in a flow conduit, implanting a prosthetic heart valve in the root, applying pulsatile flow to the assembly, and monitoring for leaks.

Title: Self returning contamination barrier
Inventor: LUZBETAK MARK A
IPC: A61M1/06
Filed: 2007-10-24
Abstract: A barrier of a vacuum pump prevents contamination from entering a vacuum pump air line. The barrier separates parts of the pump and is moveable between an initial state and a distended state. The barrier is assembled within the pump with a pre-load. When the vacuum source is applied to the barrier, the barrier achieves a distended state and when the vacuum source is released, the barrier incrementally self returns to an initial state. The geometry and material construction of the barrier, along with the pre-load, assists in returning the barrier on its own to the initial state from the distended state.

Title: Method and system for accurately reporting battery capacity
Inventor: FU RUNBO
IPC: G01R31/36
Filed: 2005-11-01
Abstract: A method and a system for accurately reporting battery capacity that do not rely on a coulomb counter are disclosed herein. The method comprises the steps of determining if the battery is in a transition phase and determining the battery capacity based on a transition phase battery capacity model when the battery is in the transition phase. The transition phase occurs upon one of attachment of the battery to a power source and disconnection of the battery from the power source. The behaviour described by the transition phase battery capacity model approaches the behaviour of real transition phase battery capacity so as to minimize the error of the determined battery capacity. The method and system accurately report battery capacity during a transition phase from discharging to charging and a transition phase from charging to discharging.

IPC: H04N7/173
Filed: 2008-02-01
Abstract: Systems and methods presented herein generally provide for the compensation of asset providers and/or communications network providers for the non-consumption of assets provided with programming. In this regard, when users elect not to consume the assets associated with the programming, the asset provider loses the opportunity to present their assets to such non-consuming users and is thereby injured in relation to the price they have paid for the delivery of their assets. In one arrangement, a reporting module (616) at a customer device (602) is operative to identify when a user skips an asset and report that skip event to the network. This information may then be utilized to adjust the bill of the asset provider and/or to bill the user associated with the skip event.

IPC: H04M3/523
Filed: 2008-08-21
Abstract: A population of networked Application Gateway Centers or voice centers provides telephony resources. The telephony application for a call number is typically created by a user in XML (Extended Markup Language) with predefined telephony XML tags and deployed on a website. A voice center provides facility for retrieving the associated XML application from its website and processing the call accordingly. The individual voice centers are either operated at a hosted facility or at a customer's premise. Provisioning Management Servers help to allocate telephony resources among the voice centers. This is accomplished by suitably updating a voice center directory.  In this way, the original capacity at a premise, predetermined by the hardware installed, can be adjusted up or down. If the premise is under capacity, it can be supplemented by that from a hosted facility. If the premise has surplus capacity, it can be reallocated for use by others outside the premise.

Abstract: Systems and methodologies are described that facilitate arrangement and transmission of control information in a wireless communication system. As described herein, a scheduled transmission of acknowledgement (ACK) signaling and channel quality information (CQI) signaling in a common subframe can be adapted for network implementations with limited link budget wherein ACK signaling is configured for repetition over multiple subframes to ensure a desired error rate level for the ACK signaling. To these ends, various aspects described herein facilitate modification of a coding rare applied to ACK signaling to be transmitted with data based on a repetition factor of the ACK signaling. Additionally and/or alternatively, various aspects described herein facilitate dropping of CQI signaling and transmission of only ACK signaling on subframes where CQI and ACK signaling are to be transmitted substantially simultaneously arid ACK transmission is configured for repetition over multiple sub frames.
