Patent CA-2715226-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HAADEM KNUT
IPC: A61F5/00
Filed: 2009-02-13
Abstract: The present invention provides a device that protects the tissue in the posterior part of the introitus vaginae, i.e. the commissura posterior.  The origin of perineal tear starts here when the segment is stretched to double or triple its length during delivery of the head. Tears can be more extensive into the perineal body, continue into the anal sphincter and in worse cases even through the whole perineum into the anal canal. In use the device may protect against perineal tears of the posterior vaginal wall into the mucosa, perineal skin, muscles, even more profound down to the anal sphincter muscle and into the rectum and the rectal mucosa.

Abstract: Session initiation protocol (SIP) control traffic routing decisions, such as rapid failure detection and recovery mechanisms, are based on detection of events and/or conditions that may result in suboptimal performance. The disclosed approach ensures that the SIP traffic is routed or rerouted on an optimal basis. Sample inputs to the SIP routing decisions, include integration with BFD, system metrics and other criteria to determine network and systems conditions, for dynamic decisions on where to optimally route SIP traffic. Examples leverage the B2BUA model, which maintains call state and participates in call processing, however, the examples introduce an improved routing model that is able to not only reroute SIP traffic based on failures but also upon the detection of other suboptimal conditions, e.g. excessive cost. The exemplary techniques provide significant savings by ensuring SIP peering decisions are automatically performed considering costs of peering arrangements, congestion and/or other criteria.
