Patent EP-1207594-A3 (EP)
Inventor: ERLICH GIORIA
IPC: H01R35/00
Filed: 2001-11-07
Abstract: An apparatus and method is provided for removing undesired coiling or
twisting that has developed in a power cable (50) attached to a robotic swimming pool
cleaner during the cleaner's pre-programmed or random movement over the
bottom and/or side walls of the pool. A rotatable grip assembly (14) is permanently or
removably affixed to the power cable adjacent one or both ends of the power cable
that can be disconnected from the power supply or the pool cleaner. The rotatable
grip assembly includes one or more bearings, at least a portion of which bearings
is fixed with respect to the power cable, and a gripping member that is in contact
with the one or more bearings. When the coils or twists are to be removed, the
end of the power cable to which the grip assembly is attached is disconnected and
a longitudinal or axial force is applied to the griping member in the direction of
the free end, which force is translated by the bearings to a rotational movement of
the power cable that passes axially through the annular grip assembly. The axial
force is maintained until the rotation of the power cable ceases.

Abstract: A method and system for delivering a therapeutic agent directly to the heart employing
minimally invasive techniques and concepts. In particular. the delivery of vascular
endothelial growth factors (VEGF) is performed endovascularly or endoscopically to a
region of a patient's heart treated with transmyocardial revascularization (TMR). A
system is provided for inducing cardioplegic arrest. An aortic occlusion device has an
inflatable balloon which occludes the ascending aorta when inflated. Cardioplegic
fluid may be infused through a lumen of the aortic occlusion device to stop the heart
while the patient's circulatory system is supported on cardiopulmonary bypass. A
side-firing fiberoptic laser is introduced through the aortic occlusion device in the
endovascular technique to perform TMR. Subsequently, a therapeutic agent delivery
catheter is directed into one of the coronary arteries to deliver and dissipate the VEGF
into the surrounding vascular plexus to promote angiogenesis stimulation.
Alternatively, a therapeutic agent delivery material saturated or coated with VEGF
could be sutured to the epicardial surface of the heart, using thoracoscopic techniques.

Abstract: A digital system and method of operation is provided in which several
processing resources (340) and processors (350) are connected to a shared
translation lookaside buffer (TLB) (300, 310(n)) of a memory management unit
(MMU) and thereby access memory and devices. These resources can be instruction
processors, coprocessors, DMA devices, etc. Each entry location in the TLB is filled
during the normal course of action by a set of translated address entries (308, 309)
along with qualifier fields (301, 302, 303) that are incorporated with each entry.
Operations can be performed on the TLB that are qualified by the various qualifier
fields. A command (360) is sent by an MMU manager to the control circuitry of the
TLB (320) during the course of operation. Commands are sent as needed to flush
(invalidate), lock or unlock selected entries within the TLB. Each entry in the TLB
is accessed (362, 368) and the qualifier field specified by the operation command is
evaluated (364). This can be task ID field 302, resource ID field 301, shared
indicator 303, or combinations of these. Operation commands can also specify a
selected virtual address entry (305). Each TLB entry is modified in response to the
command (366) only if its qualifier field(s) match the qualifier(s) specified by the
operation command. If a particular resource (340, 350) is not needed for a period of
time, all entries in the TLB associated with that resource are invalidated and the
resource is set in a low power state in order to conserve power.

Abstract: Disclosed is an apparatus for generating an error detection information
bit sequence for determining a length of data sequence transmitted in a
communication system. The apparatus comprises a plurality of cascaded registers,
the number of which is identical to the number of bits in the error detection
information bit sequence, and a plurality of adders arranged on paths determined
by a predetermined generator polynomial, each of the adders adding a bit
sequence received through an input path to a feedback bit sequence. During
reception of the control information sequence, an operator generates the feedback
bit sequence by sequentially adding bits of the control information sequence to
output bits of a final register and provides the generated feedback bit sequence to
the adders. After completion of receiving the control information sequence, the
operator sequentially adds a preset input bit to output bits of the final register and
outputs the addition result as the error detection information bit sequence. An
initial value controller provides the registers with a selected one of two initial
values separately determined for the two data sequences.
