Abstract: A system for adding monitoring capability to equipment located within a video, audio and/or data production facility. A sampling device is connected to a data communications network and transmits a continuous representation of the video, audio or data being sampled over a data communications network in response to commands from an operator station. To accommodate monitoring of large numbers of sampling devices on a single network, the sampling device may encode and/or compress the video, audio or data being monitored prior to transmitting the sample over the network. The sampling device may also further reduce its contribution to network loading by providing an instant sample of the stream being sampled, such as a single video frame, either a single time, or repeatedly at regular predetermined time intervals.

Title: Turbocharger support
Inventor: SVIHLA GARY R
IPC: F01D25/28
Filed: 2001-07-03
Granted: 2003-12-30
Abstract: An exhaust driven turbocharger for a medium speed diesel engine such as for use in a diesel locomotive or other suitable application includes an exhaust duct supported at one end by a rotor support having rigidly connected feet mountable upon a rigid base. The exhaust duct is supported at an axially opposite end by an exhaust duct support that includes laterally spaced support legs extending from individual mounting feet to points connecting with a support portion of the exhaust duct support located vertically above the axis of the rotor. The legs are configured to be essentially rigid in reducing vertical forces so as to solidly support the mass of the turbine end of the exhaust duct with which they are connected, but are made flexible laterally and axially so as to allow both lateral and radial expansion and contraction of the exhaust duct while limiting resulting stresses from the thermal variations in the exhaust duct, the exhaust duct support and the supporting base. Preferably, the locations of connection of the support legs with the exhaust duct support portion are such that vertical expansion of the exhaust housing between the rotor axis and the position of connection of the legs approximately equals linear extension of the legs so that vertical movements of the axis due to thermal changes are approximately equal at opposite ends of the rotor.

Title: Medical system calibration with static metal compensation
Inventor: GOVARI ASSAF
IPC: A61B5/06
Filed: 2001-07-18
Granted: 2011-01-04
Abstract: A method for calibrating a medical system capable of generating a magnetic field for tracking a position of a medical device comprises various steps such as defining a mapping volume within the generated magnetic field and placing a metallic object within the mapping volume. A sensor is aligned at a first point within the mapping volume and the magnetic field at the first point is measured with the sensor to establish a first coordinate position (Xi, Yi, Zi). The sensor is moved to a next point (Xi + dx, Yi + dy, Zi + dz) along one coordinate axis by an added distance component (dx, dy, dz) and the magnetic field at the next point is measured to establish a next coordinate position. The magnetic field at an intermediate point between the first position and the next coordinate position is interpolated to establish an interpolated intermediate coordinate position. The position difference between the interpolated intermediate coordinate position and an actual intermediate coordinate position is determined and the position difference is compared to an error limit. (Xi, Yi, Zi) of the next point is set as (Xi = Xi + dx, Yi = Yi + dy, Zi = Zi +  dz) if the position difference is within the error limit and the steps above are repeated along another coordinate axis. The added distance component (dx, dy, dz) is set by decreasing the value of the added distance component if the position difference is not within the error limit and the steps above are repeated along the same coordinate axis. A second embodiment utilizes an extrapolation of the magnetic field at the next point from the first position and calculation of the extrapolated next position. The difference between the calculated next position and the actual next position is then compared to an error limit. If the error limit is exceeded, the magnetic field of an intermediate point is measured and an intermediate position is determined along the same coordinate axis and the magnetic field of the next point is extrapolated from the intermediate position and the procedure is iterated until the error limit is met whereby the sensor is moved to a new point along another coordinate axis.

Title: A method for calibrating a wideband direction finding system
Inventor: PATENAUDE FRANCOIS
IPC: G01S3/14
Filed: 2001-08-31
Granted: 2010-02-02
Abstract: The invention is a method of calibrating the sensor system of a wideband direction finder using a noise source. The sensor system includes at least two wideband tuners, and an analog/digital (A/D) converter connected to each wideband tuner. The calibration method involves selecting a common set of centre frequencies for each of the wideband tuners. The wideband tuners receive a signal from the noise source on a per data frame basis. The passband of the received signal is then divided into a number of time-sampled data frames. For each time--sampled data frame, both a gain variation and a phase variation are calculated for the noise received at each wideband tuner. Gain and phase differences between the signal received by each wideband tuner within the same frame are compared. Based on the time-sampled data collected, the phase and gain differences for the signals received at the tuners which have not been previously mapped can be determined. As a result, this calibration method determines a series of calibration factors for each frame, and for a wide range of frequencies.

Abstract: A medical balloon catheter assembly includes a balloon having a permeable region and a non-permeable region. The balloon is constructed at least in part from a fluid permeable tube such that the permeable region is formed from a porous material which allows a volume of pressurized fluid to pass from within a chamber formed by the balloon and into the permeable region sufficiently such that the fluid may be ablatively coupled to tissue engaged by the permeable region. The non-permeable region is adapted to substantially block the pressurized fluid from passing from within the chamber and outwardly from the balloon. Such voids may be created by expanding the fluoropolymer. The porous material extends along both the permeable and non-permeable regions. In one mode of this construction, the material is porous along the permeable region and non-porous along the non-permeable region, such as by expanding only the permeable region. The pores in may also be provided along both permeable and non-permeable sections but are a dip coated, deposited, or extruded material along the non-permeable section in order to prevent fluid from passing therethrough. The insulator material may in one mode be provided in many shapes on the surface of the balloon.

Title: Balloon catheter
Inventor: NAKANO RYOJI

Granted: 2009-04-07
Abstract: The present invention is a balloon catheter used primarily in treatment and surgery for the purpose of dilating lesion sites such as strictures or blockages in passages in the human body. The balloon catheter of the present invention has a structure wherein a guide wire passing tubular member is deployed passing through the interior of the expansion body, and the outer surface of the tubular member and the expansion body are concentrically fused near the distal end of the catheter.  This is a balloon catheter that is characterized by the fact that the Shore hardness of the material configuring the outermost surface of the tubular member is smaller than the Shore hardness of the material configuring the expansion body. It is therefore possible to flexibly adjust the tip portion formed by securing the expansion body and the guide wire passing tubular member.
