Title: LTE-A relay apparatus, in particular for type 1 relays
Inventor: SIVAPATHALINGHAM SIVAVAKEESAR
IPC: H04W40/22
Filed: 2010-04-28
Abstract: A relay node operable to maintain an access link to a UE and a backhaul link to a D-eNB, wherein each of said access link and said backhaul link are controlled by separate states. The separate states may be independent from one another. The backhaul link consists of at least two states: the first state of backhaul link and the second state of backhaul link. In the first state of backhaul link, a relay node monitors signals from Doner-eNB (D-eNB) continuously. In the second state of backhaul link, a relay node monitors signals from D-eNB discontinuously. The access link consists of at least two states: the first state of access link and the second state of access link. In the first state of access link, a relay node transmits common control signals such as synchronisation signal, broadcast signal, reference signal. In the second state of access link, a relay node can pause the transmission of common control signals or transmit common control signals in longer period than in the first state of access link (DTX). The invention is intended for type 1 relay nodes (non-transparency) in particular.

Title: Needle and curved catheter
Inventor: THOMAS GLYN
IPC: A61B17/34
Filed: 2011-01-14
Abstract: A set comprises a needle (10) and a needle configuring catheter (18). The needle (10) has a hollow needle body (12) having a puncturing end (16). The needle body (12) is resiliently flexible so that in a relaxed state the needle body (12) tends to assume a straight configuration. The catheter (18) has a hollow catheter body (20) having a distal opening (24) and a portion (26) spaced from the distal opening (24) towards a proximal end of the catheter body (20). The catheter body (20) is resiliently flexible so that in a relaxed state the spaced portion (26) tends to assume a straight orientation having an axis and the distal opening (24) tends to assume a position offset from the axis of the spaced portion (26). The needle body (12) is insertable into the catheter body (20) such that an end portion (32) of the needle body (12) including the puncturing end (16) projects outwardly from the distal opening (24) of the catheter body (20). When the needle body (12) is inserted in this way, the catheter body (20) bends the needle body into a configuration in which the projecting end portion (32) of the needle body (12) extends in a direction that has a radial component relative to the axis of the spaced portion (26) of the catheter body (20). A splittable catheter (34) comprises an elongate annular wall (36). The annular wall (36) is provided with a longitudinally extending line of weakness (42) for splitting of the annular wall (36) along the line of weakness (42). The catheter (32) also includes a structure (40) that is distensible and which when distended extends radially outwardly of the annular wall (36) and circumferentially partially around the annular wall (36). The structure (40) does not extend over the line of weakness (42). The splittable catheter (34) can be used independently of the set_ However, alternatively, the catheter body (20) of the configuring catheter (18) is insertable into the annular wall (36) of the splittable catheter (34). When the catheter body (20) is inserted in this way, the annular wall of the splittable catheter (34) constrains the catheter body (20) so as to reduce or eliminate the offset of the distal opening (24) of the catheter body (20) from the axis of the spaced portion of the catheter body (26).

Title: Detecting deep conductive pipe, casing and formations
Inventor: BITTAR MICHAEL S
IPC: G01V3/24
Filed: 2011-05-27
Abstract: Downhole tools and techniques such as geosteering and logging while drilling acquire information regarding nearby conductors such as pipes, well casing, and conductive formations. In one embodiment, a power source 208 provides a voltage signal across an isolating gap 206, causing a primary electric current 210 to flow along a drill string 202 with drill bit 204 in a borehole. The current flow 212 disperses into the surrounding formation and causes a secondary current flow 216 in the nearby conductor 214. The magnetic field from the secondary current flow can be detected using one or more azimuthally-sensitive antennas 218 such as tilted coil or multi-component coils as receiving antennas mounted on the drill string 202. Direction and distance estimates may be obtainable from the azimuthally-sensitive measurements, and can be used as the basis for steering the drillstring relative to the distant conductor. A toroid around the drillstring may alternatively be used to induce the current flow.

Title: Electrical connector
Inventor: EVANS RAYMOND GEORGE
IPC: H01R9/03
Filed: 2010-03-24
Abstract: An electrical connector comprises a first part (12) from which a cable 36 extends, and a second part 14 that is for connection to an electrical device 60. The first and second parts (12, 14) include complementary butting electrical contacts (32, 48) for making an electrical connection and, separately, complementary ball stud and clip fasteners (68, 80) for releasably securing the first and second parts (12, 14) together. The ball stud and clip fasteners (68, 80) are selected so that the first and second parts (12, 14) become disconnected when a separation force, due to a pull on the cable (36) exceeds a threshold. Thus, if the cable is inadvertently disturbed, such as by somebody accidentally stepping on it, rather than causing the person to trip or the electrical equipment to be disturbed or damaged, the connector (10) disconnects. The invention separates the functions of electrical and mechanical connection, enabling an instant, clean and non-directional separation.

Abstract: A lower limb prosthesis comprises a knee joint which includes a dynamically adjustable knee flexion control device 18. A plurality of sensors 52, 53, 54, 85, 87 are arranged to generate signals indicative of at least one kinetic or kinematic parameter of locomotion or of walking environment, and an electronic control system 100 coupled to the sensors 52, 53, 54, 85, 87 and to the knee flexion control device 18 modifies the flexion control setting of the knee joint 16 in response to signals from the sensors. When the inclination sensor signals indicate descent of a downward incline, the damping resistance of the knee flexion control device 18 is set to a first level during a major part of the stance phase of the gait cycle and to a second, lower level during a major part of the swing phase. During an interval including a latter part of the stance phase, the knee flexion control device 18 is adjusted so that the dampening resistance to knee flexion is between the first and second levels.

Title: Video laryngoscope
Inventor: MCGRATH MATTHEW JOHN ROSS
IPC: A61B1/00
Filed: 2010-10-13
Abstract: Disclosed is a video laryngoscope having a body, an insertion section extending from the body generally parallel to a median plane of the laryngoscope extending through the body, and a display screen assembly extending from the body generally perpendicular to the median plane, the body comprising a grip portion intermediate the display screen assembly and the insertion section. The display screen assembly, comprising a display screen, extends laterally from the body and the inner edge of the display screen falls within the lateral extent of the body. The grip portion is also of a minimum size to allow an adult to grip the laryngoscope, the hand abutting the screen assembly. Thus, the laryngoscope is of a minimum overall size, the screen is positioned as close as possible to the line of sight of a user directly viewing the distal end of the insertion section, during a medical procedure, facilitating the user alternating between direct and indirect viewing, whereas the screen does not prevent the user from manipulating the laryngoscope by applying thumb pressure to the body. The laryngoscope may optionally be provided with thumb operable controls on the body or the screen. The screen may be adjustable about an axis, and, by virtue of the configuration and size of the laryngoscope, adjustment may be effected by the user's thumb, without the need to adjust the grip of the remaining digits.
