Abstract: A cavity ring-down system for performing cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) using optical heterodyne detection of a ring-down wave E<sub>RD</sub> during a ring-down phase or a ring-up wave E<sub>RU</sub> during a ring up phase. The system sends a local oscillator wave E<sub>LO</sub> and a signal wave E<sub>SIGNAL</sub> to the cavity, preferably a ring resonator, and derives an interference signal from the combined local oscillator wave E<sub>LO</sub> and the ring-down wave E<sub>RD</sub> (or ring-up wave E<sub>RU</sub>). The local oscillator wave E<sub>LO</sub> has a first polarization and the ring-down wave E<sub>RD</sub> has a second polarization different from the first polarization. The system has a combining arrangement for combining or overlapping local oscillator wave E<sub>LO</sub> and the ring-down wave E<sub>RD</sub> at a photodetector, which receives the interference signal and generates a heterodyne current I<sub>H</sub> therefrom. Frequency and phase difference between the waves are adjustable.

Abstract: A portable audio player stores a large amount of compressed audio data on an
internal disk drive, and loads a portion of this into an internal random access memory
(RAM) which requires less power and less time to access. The audio player plays the
data stored in RAM and monitors the amount of unplayed data. When the amount of
unplayed data falls below a threshold, additional data is copied from the disk drive into
RAM. Because the time necessary to copy a block of data from the disk drive to RAM
is much less than the amount of time it takes to play the same block of audio data from
RAM, this approach minimizes the amount of time that the disk drive must be operated,
and thus minimizes the amount of power consumed by the system.

Title: System and method for detecting perforations in a body cavity
Inventor: SAMPSON RUSSELL
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 2000-11-10
Abstract: A system and method for detecting perforations in a body cavity. In accordance with the method of the invention, a fluid (liquid or gas) is delivered into a body cavity to slightly pressurize the cavity. A pressure sensing system monitors the pressure within the cavity for a predetermined test period. If cavity pressure is not substantially sustained during the test period, the physician is alerted to further assess the cavity for perforations before initiating treatment within the cavity. In a preferred form of the system, a medical treatment system such as an RF ablation system is provided with perforation detection functionality. The system preferably includes a pre-test and post-test lockout system. The lockout system prevents RF power delivery unless, during a predetermined test period, the pressure sensing system determines that no perforation exists, or unless a previously performed perforation detection procedure determined a perforation was present but the lockout system was subsequently overridden by the physician.
