Inventor: JOHNSON KRISTIN D
IPC: A61B17/32
Filed: 2006-09-29
Abstract: An endoscopic forceps is disclosed including an end effector assembly having two jaw members movable from a first position in spaced relation relative to one another to at least a second position closer to one another for grasping tissue therebetween. Each of the jaw members is connectable to an electrosurgical energy source for conducting energy through tissue held therebetween. The jaw members are biased to the first position. The end effector assembly of the endoscopic forceps may further include a wire snare having a proximal end connectable to an electrosurgical energy source and a distal end translatably extending out of one of the jaw members and operatively associated with the other of the jaw members. In use, withdrawal of the proximal end of the wire snare results in movement of the jaw members from the first position to a second position and clamping of the tissue between the jaws.

Abstract: Supporting real time (e.g. conversational and streaming) services in packet switched mobile networks such as UTRAN or GERAN includes the step of identifying the time instant to schedule a given real time service over a radio interface in the mobile network by determining a period of activation value (CAP U1, CAP U2, CAP U3) indicative of the rate at which application packets are generated for said given real time service. The time instant to schedule the real time service over the radio interface is selcted as a function of the period of activation value (CAP U1, CAP U2, CAP U3). Typically, this period of activation value (CAP U1, CAP U2, CAP U3) is determined as the regular time interval after which an application codec for a given real time service is expected to be active repetitively.
