Abstract: A bidirectional steerable catheter is provided that can be deflected to form two different curves, i.e., two curves each having a different radius of curvature. The catheter comprises an elongated, flexible tubular catheter body having proximal and distal ends and a lumen extending therethrough. A tip section is provided at the distal end of the catheter body. The tip section comprises a flexible plastic tubing having at least first and second off-axis lumens extending therethrough. A control handle is attached to the proximal end of the catheter body. A first puller wire extends through the lumen of the catheter body and the first off-axis lumen of the tip section. The first puller wire has a distal end anchored in the tip section and a proximal end anchored to the control handle. A second puller wire extends through the lumen of the catheter body and the second off-axis lumen of the tip section. The second puller wire has a distal end anchored in the tip section and a proximal end anchored to the control handle. A first compression coil extends through the lumen of the catheter body in surrounding relation to the first puller wire. The first compression coil has a distal end anchored in the catheter body or in the first off-axis lumen of the tip section at a first anchor position. A second compression coil extends through the lumen of the catheter body in surrounding relation to the second puller wire and into the second off-axis lumen. The second compression coil has a distal end anchored in the second off-axis lumen of the tip section at a second anchor position that is distal to the first anchor position. By this design, the radius of curvature of each curve achieved by deflection of the tip section is controlled by the anchor position of the compression coil surrounding the appropriate puller wire. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A security system for a construction machine including a construction machine equipped with a body controller for storing a first password, management apparatus arranged in a location apart from the construction machine and a portable communications unit for storing a second password provided communicably with the management apparatus and the body controller. The portable communications unit, receiving the first password from the management apparatus, replaces the second password with the first password. The body controller determines whether the second password output from the portable communications unit coincides with the first password. In case these passwords coincide with each other, an engine drive signal is output. Otherwise the engine is kept inoperable. This prevents possible theft of a construction machine. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The automatic control system of a mobile terminal for time division duplex (TDD) based communication system includes an RF processing module (100) which controls quality of a transmission channel, and a baseband modem (200) connected to the RF processing module through a transmission data line (500) and a reception data line (600). The baseband modem generates automatic control signals (APC,AGC,AFC) based on control information received from a base station and transmitting the automatic control signal to the RF processing module through the transmission data line in a reception mode of the mobile terminal. The automatic control signals are transmitted to the RF processing module through the transmission data line, which is in the idle state, in the reception mode. Additional control lines are not required to transmit the respective automatic control signals. Therefore, utilization of the transmit data line between the baseband modem and the RF processing module can be improved.

Abstract: A system contains a laser output measurement circuit used in a laser control system (210). The circuits contain a photodiode sensor (109), sample and hold amplifier (202), IC with synchronizer and delay circuits (206), and an analog to digital converter (204). The circuits measure the laser light output (107) while the laser Module (106) transmits signals. The measurement circuit tracks and stores the laser light output (107) signal using a Photodiode Sensor (109) and with a Sample/hold (202). The methods calculate the value of the laser light output (107) from mathematical relationships, which correlate the light output (107) of the laser Module (106) to the current value of the drive signal (100). Some of the distinguishing features in the present invention are 1) feedback information from the photodiode is obtained in a synchronous manner as a snapshot of the laser performance, and 2) the measurements are precise and calibrated, and 3) no disruption of the signal transmission occurs.
