Title: Determination de la position par zone des terminaux d'un reseau sans fil
Inventor: RILEY WYATT
IPC: H04W64/00
Filed: 2003-08-01
Abstract: L'invention concerne des techniques permettant d'estimer la position d'un terminal sans fil. Un procédé consiste à recevoir, dans un premier temps, les identités d'un certain nombre d'émetteurs (par exemple, des BTSs) utilisés pour estimer la position. Des zones prévues pour ces émetteurs sont alors déterminées. La zone prévue associée à chaque émetteur indique une zone où le terminal peut éventuellement être situé, le signal de l'émetteur étant reçu par le terminal. Chaque zone prévue peut comprendre un emplacement (par exemple, le centre de la zone prévue) destiné à être utilisé comme la position estimée du terminal, et une incertitude (ou erreur d'estimation) associée à la position estimée. Les zones prévues pour les émetteurs sont alors combinées (par exemple, selon une moyenne pondérée) afin de déterminer une zone prévue combinée servant alors d'estimation de la position du terminal.

Abstract: A method and apparatus of treating an abdominal aortic aneurysm in a patient includes the steps of providing a deployable tubular graft of length to extend across the aneurysm. The graft is inserted endovascularly through an artery communicating with the aorta to a site within the aorta whereby an insertion end of the graft is positioned adjacent a non-dilated region of the aorta. The graft is deployed such that the insertion end of the graft is placed against an interior wall of the non-dilated region of the aorta. The graft is held from within the graft against the interior walls of the aorta and while being held, sutures are introduced laparoscopically through a wall of the aorta to the exterior of the graft whereby the graft is sutured to the inner walls of the aorta and the graft.

card has an associated identifier that can be used to associate a stored value with the card.
The associated stored value is redeemable with one or more providers, including the
specific provider. The account has an associated account number. During a card
purchase transaction, a central processor (12) receives a request to activate the card from
a merchant terminal (40,42,44). The central processor (12) receives a redemption
request from the customer, wherein the redemption request includes the identifier. The

Abstract: EPG data regarding programs and their scheduled times are structured and/or transmitted in such a way that program and schedule records are interleaved. This scheme allows better handling by receiving devices such as embedded devices (i.e. LCD remote controls), because a more efficient reception and storage of transmitted data is possible. In particular, the receiving device can read, parse and store the downloaded EPG data on the fly as it is being received (it can start reading, parsing and storing before the complete reception of data id finished). At any time when the device would have to stop storing EPG data into persistent storage, (almost) all of the data that was stored can actually be used.

Abstract: A surgical needle (10) for fracturing tissue such as catacracts has a distal operating port (20) which holds tissue to be fractured. An optical fiber (16) that extends down a needle (10) applies laser energy pulses to a target (22) causing optical breakdown and the generation of shockwaves which impinge on the tissue at the operating port (20), causing the tissue to fracture. Fractured tissue is aspirated through the passageway of the surgical needle (10). The operating port (20) and target (22) are both positioned at the distal end of the needle (10) to facilitate surgeon observation during the operation. The needle (10) has a wall (12) which is unitary and provides an aspiring channel (14) with a smooth surface so as to minimize flow turbulence and maximize laminar flow and also minimize friction. The close to laminar flow permits greater flow velocity and thus enhanced ability to hold tissue at the port (20).
