Title: Implantable medical device assembly
Inventor: CAMPBELL CAREY V
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2003-12-16
Granted: 2012-03-21
Abstract: The present invention is directed to implantable medical device assemblies. The assemblies are primarily used to introduce and deposit implantable medical devices in the vasculatures of implant recipients. The principle implantable medical device used in the assembly is an expandable element in the form of an endovascular device. The expandable element is maintained in a compacted configuration during introduction of the device into the vasculature with a confinement means. The expandable element is released from the confinement means at an implantation site with a control line. The control line has high tensile strength, high modulus, structural rigidity, and low compressibility. These features of the control line provide a practitioner with tactile feedback of the release of the expandable element from the confinement means. The tactile feedback is present during the entire deployment of the expandable element. The tactile feedback enables the practitioner to better track and control deployment of the expandable element at an implantation site.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method of providing a reconfiguration of a packet switching fabric plane (31 to 35) and/or a source board (21 to 24) of a media gateway, as well as a media gateway (2) for executing this method. The media gateway (2) comprises a set of packet switching fabric planes (31 to 35), a set of source boards (21 to 24) and a set of destination boards (25 to 28). The set of source boards (21 to 24) and the set of destination boards (25 to 28) are connected via Ethernet trunks through a set of packet switching fabric planes (31 to 35). The media gateway detects failures of a packet switching fabric plane (31 to 35) and/or a destination board (25 to 28). If it detects such failure, it determines the Ethernet media access control address of the concerned destination board. Then, it reassignes, depending on the MAC address type, the determined Ethernet medium access address to a spare packet switching fabric plane and/or a spare destination board.

Abstract: A delineation of a structure of interest can be performed by fitting 3D deformable models, for example, represented by polygonal measures, to the boundaries of the structure of interest. The deformable model fitting process is guided by minimization of the sum of an external energy, based on image feature information, which attracts the mesh to the organ boundaries and an internal energy, which preserves the consistent shape of the mesh. A frequent problem is that the images do not contain sufficient reliable image feature information, such as image gradients, to attract the mesh. According to the present invention, manually drawn attractors in the form of complete or partial contours corresponding to boundaries of the structure of interest are placed into the images which do not contain sufficient feature information. These attractors may easily be discriminated by a subsequent segmentation process. Due to this, advantageously, a 3D deformable model can be fitted to structures of interest in images with poor contrast, noise or image artifacts.

Abstract: Half duplex, Frequency Hopped-Spread Spectrum wireless transceivers ( 102 ), operating without a central controller, maintain time synchronization with the frequency hopping sequence for a period after transmission of a half duplex signal ceases. The wireless transceiver ( 102 ) operates their receivers ( 308 ) according to the RF frequency hopping sequence and schedule ( 200 ). The wireless transceiver ( 102 ) is then able to send a short transmission request to signal that it will start transmitting on the Frequency Hopping schedule ( 200 ) of the previously ceased transmission. A wireless transceiver ( 102 ) that was either the original transmitter or the original receiver is able to transmit this transmission request. A subset of time slots within the hopping schedule ( 200 ) can be optionally assigned to the original transmitter and original receiver to obviate collisions of the transmit request transmissions from both device at the same time.

Abstract: The present invention relates to SISO decoder for iteratively decoding a block of received information symbols (r), in particular for use in a turbo decoder, said block being divided into a number of windows of information symbols. In order to achieve a significant reduction of power consumption a SISO decoder is proposed comprising at least one SISO decoding unit (17, 21) for SISO decoding of the received information symbols (r) of a window, wherein a stopping criterion is applied to each window. This allows to abort iterative decoding for each window individually once convergence of decoding is determined by marking a window or sub-block inactive (17,23). An inactive window is no longer SISO decoded in subsequent iterations.
