Patent EP-2913020-A1 (EP)
Inventor: NAU WILLIAM H
IPC: A61B18/00
Filed: 2013-09-05
Abstract: A medical instrument includes two jaw members, each of which creates conditions of frustrated total internal reflection at a tissue-contacting surface when tissue is grasped between the two jaw members. The first jaw member may include an optical element having a tissue-contacting surface. The medical instrument also includes plural light sources that provide light beams for sealing tissue. The light source is positioned so that the light beam is totally internally reflected from an interface between the tissue-contacting surface and air when tissue is not grasped by the jaw members. When tissue is grasped by the jaw members, at least a portion of the light beam is transmitted through that portion of the tissue-contacting surface that is in contact with the tissue. The light source may be movably coupled to a jaw member to scan the light beam and/or to change the incident angle based on optical properties of the tissue.

Abstract: A bobbin and coil architecture is provided for use in an inductive sensor. The architecture eliminates the need for coil shielding and reduces the sensor's sensitivity to temperature and proximate mounting hardware. In one or more embodiments, all or portions of separate coils are located in a common slot on the bobbin, rather than being segregated into separate slots. In an example configuration, two receiver coils may be located in respective two slots on the bobbin, and a transmitter coil may divided into two substantially equal subsets of windings, with each subset wound together with one of the receiver coils in a common slot. This yields a symmetrical and balanced winding architecture that requires fewer slots relative to designs that segregate all coils into separate slots.

Abstract: A method of failure event report correlation is proposed. A UE detects a failure event in a first cell served by a first base station, and the UE is assigned with a previous C-RNTI. The failure event may include a radio link failure, a handover failure, or a RACH failure. The UE then performs an RRC establishment procedure with a second base, and the UE is assigned with a new C-RNTI. After the RRC establishment, the UE transmits a failure event report along with the correlation information to the second base station. The second base station then forwards the failure event report and the previous C-RNTI to the first base station. The first base station can correlate the failure event report with the previous failure event based on the previous C-RNTI to avoid double bookkeeping and improve MRO decision for SON.

Abstract: Movement of an aerodynamic cove lip door (270) is directly slaved to real time movement of a trailing edge control device operably secured to an aircraft wing (110). The cove lip door (270) is adapted to move relative to the movement of the control device for managing aerodynamic air gaps. For this purpose, a cove lip door mechanism is defined to include an actuator (200, 202) and an aircraft input controller (190), wherein movement of the control device is subject to the actuator via the input controller. A bell crank mechanism (150) is coupled to the control device to link movement of the actuator directly to movement of the control device. The cove lip door is separately attached to the trailing edge, positioned proximal to the control device. The actuator is configured to also control movement of the cove lip door as a function of movement of the control device to optimize operational aerodynamic performance and efficiency. (Fig. 3)
