Title: Heart valve holder for constricting the valve commissures
Inventor: NEWBORG STEVE
IPC: A61F2/24
Filed: 2001-07-13
Granted: 2005-05-19
Abstract: An improved holder, system and method for implanting a tissue-type prosthetic heart mitral valve that constricts the commissure posts of the valve and allows the user to detach the handle of the holder prior to withdrawing the holder itself. The ability to remove the handle allows a surgeon greater access to suturing the prosthetic valve to the mitral annulus. The holder may include two relatively movable plates, one of which attaches to the valve sewing on the inflow end of the valve ring and the other which attaches via sutures to the valve commissures on the outflow end. Separation of the plates places the sutures in tension and constricts the commissures. An adjusting member or adapter is interposed between the handle and holder to enable separation of the two plates and removal of the handle. The adjusting member or adapter may be packaged with the valve and holder combination, or may be sold as a separate unit, possibly with the handle, so that prior art holders can be retrofit. Removable storage and handling clips secure the holder and heart valve assembly within a storage jar during transportation. A kit of a number of identical storage and handling clips and holders for different diameter tissue-type prosthetic heart valves may be provided.

Title: Detection of bacteria in fluids
Inventor: REGEV ISSACHAR
IPC: C12Q1/04
Filed: 2005-08-16
Granted: 2010-12-16
Abstract: A method for the detection of bacteria in aqueous fluids in the form of solutions, emulsions and or suspensions, such as drinking water, liquid food and drinks and biological fluids such as urine, spinal and/or amniotic fluids and serums by measurement of light scattering The fluid suspected of containing bacteria is filtered, first to exclude particles of sizes larger than the size of the expected bacteria. Other filtration methods are used in addition to exclude different constituents of the examined fluid. Ion exchange chromatography is such a method. The verification of bacterial contamination and the calculation of its level is performed by matching measured scattering profiles with pre-stored calibrated scattering profiles. A system for carrying out the measurements including cuvette units suited for light scattering measurements is provided.

Title: Nozzle structure of bidet with swirling water current
Inventor: JIN SUNG-WORL
IPC: E03D9/08
Filed: 2005-03-23
Granted: 2011-09-01
Abstract: A nozzle structure of a bidet with swirling water current is provided, in which a user controls water spraying angle of water current sprayed from an outlet of a cleaning nozzle, and the water current with swirling force is sprayed in a circular pattern without causing an eccentricity, thereby increasing cleaning power and reducing water consumption. The nozzle structure of a bidet includes a water channel unit with two internal water channels classified as a wide flow channel and a linear flow channel; a cleaning nozzle tip where water current passed through the wide flow channel and water current passed through the linear flow channel are combined and spouted, wherein the cleaning nozzle tip is connected to an end of the water channel unit; and a fluid mixing unit arranged in an upper portion of an interior of the cleaning nozzle tip such that the fluid mixing unit applies a torque to the water current flowing upward after passing through the wide flow channel and the linear flow channel so as to thereby generate swirling forces of water current. It is possible to prevent an eccentricity of water current and control the water spray angle to be maintained at a constant level, while generating swirling water current with varying swirling forces of water current spouting from the outlet of the cleaning nozzle tip. This enables a user to change his or her body parts contacting the water current even without moving his or her body, and increases in cleaning power.

Title: Method and apparatus for estimating power required for transmission of data at a rate in a communication system
Inventor: ATTAR RASHID AHMED
IPC: H04J13/00
Filed: 2008-09-17
Granted: 2010-08-19
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for estimating maximum rate of data and for estimating a transmission power required for transmission of a data with a rate of data in a communication system are disclosed. A terminal determines a quality metric of a communication link, over which data are to be transmitted, and modifies the determined quality metric by a quality metric margin. The terminal then estimates the maximum rate of data in accordance with the modified quality metric. Alternatively, the terminal then estimates transmission power required for transmission of a data with a rate of data in accordance with the rate of data and the modified quality metric. The quality metric margin may be pre-determined or dynamically adjusted. The terminal dynamically adjusts the quality metric margin in accordance with a result of comparison of a transmit power corresponding to the estimated maximum rate of data with an actual transmit power used to transmit the data.
