Patent EP-1532739-A1 (EP)
Inventor: GONGWER GEOFFREY S
IPC: H03M7/40
Filed: 2003-08-29
Abstract: Methods and apparatus for transforming data into a format which may be efficiently stored in a non-volatile memory are disclosed. According to one aspect of the present invention, a method for storing information of a first data format in a memory system includes generating statistics associated with the first data format, and transforming the information from the first data format to a second data format using the statistics. Once the information is transformed into the second data format, the information is stored into a memory. Storing the information in the second data format in the memory includes storing an identifier that identifies a transformation used to transform the information to the second data format. In one embodiment, costs associated with storing the information in the second data format are less than or equal to costs associated with storing the information in the first data format.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un dispositif d'accès chirurgical, tel qu'un trocart (10), comprenant une soupape pendante (40) avec structure de forme allongée (50) disposée entre une extrémité proximale et une soupape à membrane (56) implantée sur l'extrémité distale. Pendant l'emploi, la structure de forme allongée (50) épouse l'angle de l'instrument (21) pour le prépositionnement de la soupape à membrane (56) dans le chemin de l'instrument (21), chemin dans lequel elle est relativement à l'abri pendant l'insertion ou la manipulation de l'instrument. Il est possible de laisser flotter La soupape pendante (40) à l'extrémité proximale et à l'extrémité distale de la structure de forme allongée (50), ce qui atténue encore la vulnérabilité de la soupape à membrane (56). Comme cette soupape (56) est moins exposée pendant l'insertion de l'instrument (21), on peut lui donner une forme qui réduit les frottements et maximise la plage fonctionnelle du dispositif d'accès.
