IPC: G11B20/12
Filed: 2005-08-02
Abstract: It is possible to easily limit a user operation when reproducing a content. A  limit mode for limit the user operation to control reproduction of a content is set in advance and a value indicating the limit mode is recorded for each play list as attribute information in the disc. A player generates a table based on the limit mode for each play list during reproduction of the disc and subjects the control command for controlling reproduction of the content generated by the user operation to filtering by the command filter by referencing the table. The limit mode is, for example, a mode in which the play list is should be reproduced at a predetermined speed such as the normal speed from the head and a mode in which jump of the play list during reproduction is inhibited. Thus, it is possible to reduce the load of verification for the user operation limit at the content creation side and the verification load of the operation at the player side.

Title: Endoscopic vessel harvesting system components
Inventor: LAU LIMING
IPC: A61B1/12
Filed: 2007-06-29
Abstract: Components for an endoscopic vessel harvesting system suitable for harvesting target vessels such as the saphenous vein or radial artery for cardiac artery bypass graft surgery. The main components of such systems include a vessel dissector and a vessel harvester, both of which work in conjunction with a separately provided endoscope. The vessel dissector is an elongated cannula having a blunt tip for separating layers of facial around vessels. The tip may be movable, and is typically transparent to permit viewing forward of the tip using the endoscope. Internal features of the tip may reduce glare back to the endoscope. Several devices improve visibility through the tip by reducing interference from tissue or fluid on the tip. The vessel harvester also has an elongated cannula for receiving the endoscope.  Several tools within the harvester permit manipulation, severing, and sealing of vessels forward of the distal end.  The tool for manipulating vessels may have a low-profile for increased visibility of operation, and may be coupled to the cannula with a damping mechanism to reduce the possibility of avulsion of the vessels. Various vessel cutting and sealing devices are provided that may accommodate various sizes of vessels and improve cutting and sealing efficacy.
