Patent CA-2572060-A1 (CA)
Inventor: LIOY MARCELLO
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2005-06-29
Abstract: Techniques to efficiently filter fragmented datagrams and route fragments are described. For each fragmented datagram, a filtering node obtains filter parameters as fragments for the datagram are received. When all filter parameters are available, the node applies one or more filters on the filter parameters to obtain a filter result for the datagram and stores the filter result in an entry in a routing table. Prior to obtaining the filter result, the node stores all fragments received for the datagram in a memory. When the filter result becomes available, the node processes all fragments already received for the datagram in accordance with the filter result. As each remaining fragment for the datagram is received, the node immediately processes the fragment in accordance with the filter result. When the last fragment is received, the node clears the memory and the routing table entry for the datagram.

Inventor: MASOTTI LEONARDO
IPC: A61B18/22
Filed: 2006-03-10
Abstract: A device and related method for the removal of subcutaneous adipose layers comprises a laser source; an optical fiber for conveying a laser beam emitted by the laser source; and a hollow cannula for guiding the fiber to the subcutaneous treatment area. The cannula has a curved portion at its distal end, where the curved portion can be shaped to roughly conform to the contour of the patient's body structure. In this way, laser energy from the fiber, applied to the adipose layers, is generally directed away from the lower dermis of the patient, minimizing the risk of non-reversible damage to the dermis, including skin necrosis. In another embodiment, the optical fiber is a side-firing fiber that directs the laser energy away from the dermis. In other embodiments, a radiation detector, such as a thermal or optical sensor, monitors the temperature at the surface of the skin above the treatment area to warn the operator of harmful temperatures in the lower dermis. In another embodiment, a temperature sensitive material is applied to the surface of the skin above the treatment area to warn of harmful dermal temperatures. In another embodiment, a cooling mechanism cools the surface of the skin above the treatment area to prevent damage to the dermis.

Title: Method and apparatus for identifying oversensing using far-field intracardiac electrograms and marker channels
Inventor: XAVIER RAVI
IPC: A61B5/352
Filed: 2006-04-17
Abstract: A method for identifying and classifying various types of oversensing in implantable medical devices (IMDs), such as implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), to assist a physician in choosing corrective action to reduce the likelihood of oversensing and inappropriate therapy delivery. Far-field electrogram (EGM) signals are analyzed to detect the occurrence of R-waves, and the result is compared to the number and pattern of R-waves sensed by the IMD and indicated on the marker channel. A marker channel with more sensed R-waves than indicated by analysis of the far-field EGM indicates the presence of oversensing, including double-counting of R-waves, T-wave oversensing, lead malfunction or failure, poor lead connections, noise associated with electromagnetic interference, non-cardiac myopotentials, etc..  Identification of the type of oversensing may be determined by analysis of the number and pattern of marker channel sensed R-waves with respect to the timing of the R-waves detected from the far-field EGM.

Preferably, when the operation frequency is near 700 kilohertz, the operation enhances radiant efficiency at red wavelengths due to excitation states of atomic components selected from alkali metals. Preferably, the ballast includes a dimming mechanism for dimming the lamp thereby reducing said electrical power, and upon the dimming, the frequency-selecting mechanism selects the frequency for optimizing color parameters and luminous flux of the radiant emission.
