Patent EP-1236437-A1 (EP)
Inventor: KLEIN ENRIQUE J
IPC: A61B17/06
Filed: 1993-12-08
Abstract: A suture applying device (10) comprises a shaft (14)
which carries a pair of needles (20) near its distal
end. The needles (20) are joined by a length of suture
(30), and the shaft (14) is used to both introduce the
needles (20) into a lumen of a body structure and to
push the needles back through tissue on either side of
the puncture site. After the needles (20) have passed
through the tissue, they are captured on the shaft
(12) and drawn outward through the tract, leaving a
loop of suture being to close the puncture site near
the body lumen. The suture (30) can then be tied and
the knot pushed back through the tract to complete the
closure. Alternatively. a locking fastener (100)
formed of a resorbable material can be placed into the
penetration over the sutures and the sutures tied over
the fastener.

Abstract: The electronic identification system uses adjustable parameters for detection, emission and reception of Radio frequency reading signals. These parameters are adjusted as a function of the ambient electromagnetic noise, and also in response to the signals detected from this reference transponder.  The Radio frequency electronic identification system includes a Radio frequency reader (10) connected to an antenna (20) which produced an interrogation field which is traversed by the transponders to be identified. The parameters for detection, emission and reception of the Radio frequency reader are adjusted as a function of the ambient electromagnetic noise. The process includes a stage of measuring the ambient electromagnetic noise, and a second stage of adjusting the parameters on the basis of this noise measurement. A further stage includes measuring the response from a reference transponder (30) placed, at least temporarily, in the interrogation field. The parameters may then be further adjusted in response to the signals detected from this reference transponder.
