Title: An electrosurgical generator
Inventor: GOBLE COLIN CHARLES OWEN
IPC: A61B18/14
Filed: 2003-12-19
Abstract: An electrosurgical generator for supplying RF power to an electrosurgical instrument for cutting or vaporising tissue has an RF output stage (42) with an RF power bridge (Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4), a pair of output lines (74) and a serie s- resonant output network (48). The output impedance of the output stage (42) at the output lines (74) is less than 200/.sqroot.P ohms, where P is the maximu m continuous RF output power of the generator. The generator offers improved cutting and vaporising performance, especially in relation to the reliabilit y with which an arc can be struck when presented with an initial low impedance load. Overloading of the output stage is prevented by rapidly operating protection circuitry responsive to a predetermined electrical condition such as a substantial short-circuit across the output lines. In the preferred embodiment, the output stage is capable of maintaining output pulses at leas t 1kW peak by supplying the power bridge from a large reservoir capacitor (60) . Pulsing is dynamically variable in response to load conditions by controllin g the maximum energy per pulse in response to the reservoir capacitor voltage.

Title: Method and apparatus for improved link layer handoff
Inventor: SINGH AJOY K
IPC: H04L29/08
Filed: 2006-02-15
Abstract: Various embodiments are described to address the need for an apparatus and method that improves link layer handoff by addressing the packet-loss problem existing today. An intermediate buffer management layer (IBML) (201, 211) is introduced below layer 3 of an OSI-based communications interface. The IBML buffers copies of OSI layer 3 packets being transmitted via lower layers (205, 215) of the interface and manages the buffer contents using indications the IBML receives from one or more of the lower layers. When the IBML receives an indication that a link layer hard handoff is proceeding, the IBML transfers the presently buffered packets to a corresponding IBML (202, 212) in the target communications interface. This sub-layer 3 buffer transfer enables the target communications interface to reduce packet-loss associated with the hard handoff.
