Title: Collision avoidance in a half-duplex communication system
Inventor: JOHN JOHNNY K
IPC: H04N1/00
Filed: 1997-12-19
Abstract: In a half-duplex communication system in which additional delays in the communication channel may cause a message collision between a message and a response, a timer based collision prevention circuit is utilized to prevent the message collision. The collision prevention circuit determines if the message transmitted by a communication device will be repeated. If the message is to be repeated, the collision prevention circuit sets a countdown collision timer to a predetermined period of time shorter than the shortest repetition interval of the repeated message. A response is only sent to the communication device if the collision timer has not expired. If the timer expires, the collision prevention circuit waits for the message to be retransmitted by the source device before sending the response to the communication device.

Title: Systems and methods for electrosurgical tissue treatment in the presence of electrically conductive fluid
Inventor: BAKER MICHAEL A
IPC: A61B17/00
Filed: 1999-08-11
Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for applying a high frequency voltage in the presence of an electrically conductive fluid to create a relatively low temperature plasma for ablation of tissue adjacent to, or in contact with, the plasma. In one embodiment, an electro-surgical probe (20) or catheter is positioned adjacent the target site so that one or more active electrode(s) (120) are brought into contact with, or close proximity to, a target tissue in the presence of electrical conductive fluid. High frequency voltage is then applied between the electrode terminal(s) (120), and one or more return electrode(s) (112) to generate a plasma adjacent to the active electrode(s), and to volumetrically remove or ablate at least a portion of the target tissue. The high frequency voltage penetrates electric fields around the active electrode(s) with sufficient energy to ionize the conductive fluid adjacent to the active electrode(s). Within the ionized gas or plasma, free electrons are accelerated, and electron atoms collisions liberate more electrons. The process cascades until the plasma contains sufficient energy to break apart the tissue molecules, causing molecular dissociation, and ablation of the target tissue.

Title: Diagnosis and monitoring of lung cancer patients by measurement of NCA 50/90 in blood
Inventor: ALLARD WILLIAM JEFFREY
IPC: C12N15/02
Filed: 1994-04-12
Abstract: A method for aiding in the diagnosis of, and monitoring the progression of, lung cancer in a patient by measuring the amount of NCA 50/90 in a blood sample, e.g., serum sample, obtained from the patient. Measurement in a single sample of an amount of NCA 50/90 significantly higher than the mean amount of NCA 50/90 in the normal population is an indication of lung cancer in the patient. The progression of lung cancer can also be monitored by performing a series of specific immunoassays over time to determine changes in the level of NCA 50/90 in blood samples. Increases in blood NCA 50/90 levels over time are indicative of a deteriorating condition whereas decreasing levels of blood NCA 50/90 over time indicate an improving condition.

Title: Method of cryptographically transforming electronic digital data from one form to another
Inventor: WOOD MICHAEL C
IPC: G09C1/00
Filed: 1990-03-14
Abstract: A cryptographic system creates a key table from a single key such that the relationship between the keys in the key table cannot be determined even if the system implementation is known. The system uses variable functions in which the determinants are changed by the variable function chosen by the determinant. Thus, the functions used in creating the key table do not have to be one-to-one functions. From the key table, four blocks of bytes of additional key based determinants are formed which are called masks. The original key does not exist in either the key table or the mask table. The system preferably uses the key table in a multiple round encryption process. The keys chosen from the table for a key addition operation are a function of the plaintext, the current state of the ciphertext, and the mask values. Therefore, the order in which the keys are chosen is not predetermined or patterned. The system also selects the other encryption functions, including permutations and substitutions, by the plaintext, current state of the ciphertext and the mask values. The cryptographic system also can include a function referred to as the enclave function. This function operates on lookup tables and creates complete inter-symbol dependency on the block of bytes.
