Title: Tissue cutting device
Inventor: DOUGHERTY BRIAN C
IPC: A61B10/02
Filed: 2013-04-09
Granted: 2015-04-09
Abstract: A tissue cutting device is proposed that comprises a slidable cutting member and a stationary base member. The slidable cutting member is defined by an open distal end and an open proximal end. The slidable cutting member is operatively connected to an actuator assembly. The stationary base member has an upwardly extending footplate disposed on a distal end thereof. The slidable cutting member is configured for reciprocating movement with respect to the stationary base member. A distal end of the slidable cutting member and the foot plate cooperates to define a tissue receiving opening. A vacuum source is operatively connected to a proximal end of the cutting member so as to deliver vacuum through the cutting member. This configuration allows multiple tissue samples to be taken with a single insertion, thereby minimising tissue removal time and trauma to the patient. The footplate may further include a textured surface to assist in retaining tissue to be severed.

Title: Electrochemical test strip
Inventor: IYENGAR SRIDHAR
IPC: C12M1/34
Filed: 2013-04-12
Granted: 2016-01-28
Abstract: An electrochemical test strip is formed from a first insulating substrate layer, a second substrate layer, and an intervening insulating spacer layer. An opening in the insulating spacer layer defines a test cell which is in contact with the inner surface of the first 5 substrate on one side and the inner surface of the second substrate on the other side. The size of the test cell is determined by the area of substrate exposed and the thickness of the spacer layer. Working and counter electrodes appropriate for the analyte to be detected are disposed on the first insulating substrate in a location within the test cell. The working and counter electrodes are associated with conductive leads that allow 10 connection of the electrodes to a meter for determination of analyte. The second substrate is conductive at least in a region facing the working and counter electrodes. No functional connection of this conductive surface of the second substrate to the meter is required. When a potential difference is applied between the working and counter electrodes, because of the presence of the conductive surface on the second 15 substrate, the relevant diffusion length is not dependent on the distance between working and counter electrodes, but is instead dependent on the distance between the first and second substrates (i.e., on the thickness of the spacer layer). This means that shorter measurement times can be achieved without having to reduce the spacing of the working and counter electrodes. WO 2009/015077 PCT/US2008/070630 44--- 46 -44 4) 43 Fig 5B

A surgical instrument and method for using the device are also disclosed.

Title: Colour-discriminating checksum computation in a human-machine interface
Inventor: GYLLENSWARD ERIK
IPC: G06F3/147
Filed: 2013-11-19
Granted: 2017-02-02
Abstract: A display (101 ) is controlled by a display drive signal (S2) generated based on an input signal (S1 ) encoding a safety-critical quantity. A checksum (S4) is computed based on the display drive signal and is used to verify the rendering process by which the display drive signal has been produced. In order for the checksum to depend on the safety-critical quantity only, the checksum is computed based on a filtered display drive signal (S3) in which pixels with a certain value have been excluded. In embodiments of the invention, safety-noncritical quantities are represented using colours that are due to be excluded. Similarly, a checksum for verifying a given quantity can be made independent of other quantities represented in adjacent screen areas by representing the latter using excluded colours. In other embodiments, pixel values corresponding to particular pixel positions may be excluded from contributing.

Title: System and method for remote maintenance of user units
Inventor: DELPUCH ALAIN
IPC: H04L12/24
Filed: 2014-06-12
Granted: 2017-01-19
Abstract: An aim of the system and the method for remote maintenance of user units according to the invention is to allow an efficient diagnosis of failures in a reduced time. Each user unit, connected to a management server, via a communication network, transmits to the management server state data related to hardware and software parameters associated to an operating mode of the user unit. The method includes steps of: storing state data in a memory of the user unit, monitoring state data stored in the memory, and detecting at least one datum of a state indicating an operational failure of the user unit. When a failure is detected, state data corresponding to current states of the user unit at the moment of the failure and state data corresponding to the states stored during a predetermined period before the failure are extracted from the memory and transmitted to the management server which determines a statistic correlation coefficient between the values of each state of a user unit and the values of states of other user units.
