Abstract: Described herein are methods and devices that utilize electrical neural stimulation to treat heart failure by modulating a patient's autonomic balance in a manner that inhibits sympathetic activity and/or augments parasympathetic activity. Because other therapies for treating heart failure may also affect a patient's autonomic balance, a device for delivering neural stimulation is configured to appropriately titrate such therapy in either an open-loop or closed-loop fashion.

Abstract: A hypoallergenic adhesive article employing a switchable pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) composition comprising one or more amphiphilic polyesters in physical mixture with a humectant. When contacted with a liquid of low-ion content, the adhesive undergoes a reduction in peel strength, which allows for easy removal, but remains strongly adhered when contacted with ionic liquids, such as blood, sweat, and other bodily fluids. The adhesive composition can be employed in a variety of medical articles or in other similar applications.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of detecting an analyte in a hemolyzed whole blood sample the method comprising the steps of applying a sample of hemolyzed whole blood known or suspected to contain an analyte of interest to a column comprising a restricted access chromatography material (RAM) thereby binding the analyte, eluting the analyte from the RAM and detecting the analyte, wherein at least in the first step a buffer with a pH above 8.0 is used. Preferably the hemolyzed whole blood sample is obtained by differential hemolysis. The novel method ensures that hemoglobin does not interfere with the detection of the analyte of interest, especially in any subsequent analyses. The method can be easily used in the online detection of many analytes, e.g. from a hemolyzed whole blood sample, like in the detection of an antibiotic, of folate or of immunosuppressive drugs, like tacrolimus or sirolimus.

Abstract: Method and apparatus for performing transmission data rate allocation in a high speed wireless communications network. A macro control loop with the network of base stations on one side and all the subscriber stations on the other side. Subscriber station selects a rate based on the amount of data queued for transmission (100). Adjusts this rate based on the available power headroom of the subscriber station (102). This adjusted transmission rate is then adjusted again to account for protection of base stations in the candidate set of the subscriber station (104). This rate is then adjusted in accordance with busy tone signals indicative of the loading conditions of active set base stations of the subscriber station (108). The base stations react to these action by refreshing measurements of their instantaneous traffic load and providing feedback in the form of soft busy tones. The algorithm is named Closed Loop Resource Allocation.
