IPC: G06F13/38
Filed: 1996-08-09
Abstract: The present invention provides a system and method of synchronizing data transfers between two processors having different bus transactions by providing a buffer for storing the data and a control logic for dividing a concurrent address and data bus transactions into an address bus transaction followed by a data bus transaction. During a read operation, the requesting device is forced to wait for data availability before entering the data bus transaction. During a write operation, the data bus transaction is delayed by using a storage mechanism that effectively separates the address transaction from the data transaction. The present invention also provides direct memory access fly-by operations between an input/output device and a memory device. These operations are accomplished by isolating a secondary bus from the system bus and allowing the destination device to capture the requested data as soon as it is available on the system bus.

Abstract: Coordination of information at the network-based level between call centers connectable over a telecommunications network, such as the telephone network, and a packet network, such as the Internet, creates improved integration of and bonding between a customer's interaction with a Web site and with a call center. Information about the customer and the customer's Web interaction are delivered to the call center agent along with the call, leading to increased productivity and efficiency in call handling as well as improved call routing. 
     Calls may be routed to existing call centers based upon information from the Web experience, and information from the user's Web interaction is shared with the call center. Web interaction information is passed to existing call centers using known call center external control methods, such as DNIS signaling. Information about the Web experience may also be "whispered" to the call center agent, and an agent may "push" Web pages for review by the customer. As a result, customer acquisition and sales tools more powerful than a mere click-to-callback tool can be made available with a combined marketing approach using the Web and call centers.

IPC: A61F2/00

Abstract: Prior art balloons on balloon angioplasty catheters (10,15) have two folds to wrap the balloon (16) tightly
around a distal portion of the balloon angioplasty catheter (15) prior to balloon inflation. When
using such a two-fold balloon (16) to deploy a stent (20) having (as is typical) more than three cells
disposed circumferentially around each cylindrical segment of the stent (20), the cells of each
segment frequently expand unevenly. That is, after balloon inflation some cells are expanded
more than some other cells which is certainly undesirable. The present invention overcomes the
disadvantages of prior art devices by utilizing a balloon (52) with three or more folds to more evenly
distribute the frictional forces on the inside of the stent (20) during stent deployment thus improving
the uniformity of stent cell expansion. Ideally one would like to have the same number of balloon
folds (52A,52B,52C,52D,52E) as the number of stent cells distributed circumferentially
around the stent (20). Matching the number of balloon folds (52A-52E) to the number of cells of
each cylindrical segment of the stent (20) provides better size uniformity for the stent cells
after they are expanded against the wall of an artery or some other vessel within a human body.

Abstract: The distress call emitting device comprises an earthquake sensor for
detecting an earthquake of a prescribed intensity or greater and/or a receiver for
receiving a radio signal from a remote transmitter. Therefore, even when the user
is unable to call for a help, the distress call emitting device of the present invention
produces a distress call in his behalf by sound and/or light. The distress call can be
initiated either by detecting the intensity of the earthquake or by operating a remote
transmitter which may be carried by the user. If the device is linked to a telephone
line, the distress call can be made also through a telephone line. Thus, even when
the user is too weak to call for a help by his own effort, the device is either
automatically activated by an earthquake or remotely activated by pressing a switch
on a portable transmitter.
