Abstract: The device for the in vivo measurement of pressures and pressure variations in or on the human or animal body, more particularly inside or outside bones, is composed of an implantable probe (1) and of an evaluating unit (3), the probe (1) comprising an oscillating circuit (L-C) including a capacitor in the form of a pressure sensor (8, 30) and a coil (13), and the evaluating unit (3) comprising a resonance oscillating circuit capable of detecting the natural frequency (Fe) of the oscillating circuit, is variable according to variations of a dimension of the capacitor caused by pressure variations. The pressure sensor (8) is spatially separated from the coil (13) and connected to the latter by an electric conductor (15). On one hand, this allows small dimensions of the implantable pressure sensor, and on the other hand, a clear signal transmitted over a relatively long distance. In the first place, such a measuring device allows to monitor the accretion of a bone to a prosthesis, or quite generally, to detect the behaviour of a bone or another organ e.g. under load.

Abstract: A voicing probability determination method is provided for estimating a percentage of unvoiced and voiced energy for each harmonic within each of a plurality of bands of a speech signal spectrum. Initially, a synthetic speech spectrum is generated based on the assumption that speech is purely voiced. The original and synthetic speech spectra are then divided into plurality of bands. The synthetic and original speech spectra are compared harmonic by harmonic, and a voicing determination is made based on this comparison. In one embodiment, each harmonic of the original speech spectrum is assigned a voicing decision as either completely voiced or unvoiced by comparing the difference with an adaptive threshold. If the difference for each harmonic is less than the adaptive threshold, the corresponding harmonic is declared as voiced; otherwise the harmonic is declared as unvoiced. The voicing probability for each band is then computed based on the amount of energy in the voiced harmonics in that decision band. Alternatively, the voicing probability for each band is determined based on a signal to noise ratio for each of the bands which is determined based on the collective differences between the original and synthetic speech spectra within the band.

Abstract: A sheath for use on a closed loop Joule-Thomson cryosurgical probe, and the combination of the sheath and the closed loop probe. The sheath is slipped over the probe, thereby separating the probe from the environment. The sheath has a grip which fits over the handle of the cryosurgical probe, and an extendible shroud which can be longitudinally extended to cover tubing and which are attached to the handle. The sheath has a hollow multi-lumen catheter shaped and sized to fit snugly over the cannula of the cryosurgical probe. The catheter is not thermally conductive, preventing transfer of heat from the ambient to the gas mixture, and preventing the freezing of tissues at undesired locations along the catheter. A thermally conductive cap or tip is attached to the distal end of the hollow catheter. The thermally conductive cap or tip is biased against the cold tip on the probe by a biasing element in the sheath assembly, to promote heat transfer.

Abstract: The present invention is a stent delivery catheter system for placing a stent within a stenosis in a vessel of a human body without the need for either pre-dilatation of the stenosis or post-dilatation of the stent. The primary stenting delivery catheter system utilizes the combination of low profile (i.e., a small outer diameter) with a continuous, smooth and lubricious outer surface extending backward from a tapered distal tip. This design makes it possible for the stent delivery catheter to be pushed through even very tight stenoses without requiring pre-dilatation. Two versions of the primary stent delivery system are envisioned. The first version is a sheathed primary stenting system with a two-part sheath having a thick-walled proximal section and an ultra-thin distal section that is shrunk down to secure it to the catheter's distal tip. This embodiment differs from the prior art Fischell et al. device that does not shrink its membrane sheath down over the stent and over the balloon catheter's distal tip. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a radiofrequency network, such as a Bluetooth network, two devices are securely identified to one another for a communication session. One of the devices is designated as a master apparatus, and the other is a slave apparatus. An automatic identification process is carried out by placing the two devices in close proximity with one another, and transmitting very short range signals from the master apparatus, to be exclusively received by the slave apparatus. If the two devices are able to communicate over this short range, an identification key is generated and passed to the slave apparatus for subsequent exchanges in normal, larger range communications.

Abstract: A one-time-pad encryption system where encrypted one-time-pad keys can be distributed to users on physical media or on a computer network from a central server. Each one-time-pad key has a key identification number that facilitates key management. Each encrypted data set includes a header specifying an offset within the one-time-pad key for commencement of decryption so that messages can be decrypted in any order. Before encryption begins, the length of remaining unused key is compared to the length of the data set to be encrypted. For ease of transcription or transmission by humans, the encrypted data can be represented as a subset of the 48 keys that are easy to use on a keyboard, preferably the 26 capital letters of the Western alphabet or these letters plus six numerals for a total of 32 characters. A one-time-pad key which is specialized to achieve such encryption can also be used for binary encryption. Encryption control buttons are added to a word processor and other programs as an addition to the user interface.

Abstract: A change of switch plane operation is performed in a multi-plane cell switching node ( 20 ) which has a first switch plane ( 22 ); a second switch plane ( 24 ); and plural switch port interface units ( 26 ). In response to detection of a fault in the active switch plane, the passive switch plane sends a plane change cell to the plural switch port interface units, and stops egress traffic flow from the second switch plane. Upon receiving the plane change cell, each switch port interface unit redirects traffic cells sent from the active plane to the passive switch plane. Each switch port interface unit then determines when traffic cells destined thereto have been flushed from the first switch plane, and changes its active switch plane designation (so that the formerly passive switch plane becomes the active switch plane) so that egress traffic flow can begin from the formerly passive (now active) plane to the respective switch port interface units.
