Inventor: EGUCHI YASUHITO C O INTELLECTU
IPC: H02J7/00
Filed: 1993-09-15
Abstract: A battery protection circuit has a condition detecting circuit which detects a voltage across a secondary cell or cells and compares the detected voltage with a reference voltage to detect an overdischarged condition or an overcharged condition of the secondary cell or cells. A control unit controls a first switching element for cutting off a discharging current and a second switching element for cutting off a charging current based on a detected condition of the secondary cell or cells. A third switch element cuts off electric power supplied to the condition detecting circuit. The third switch element is rendered nonconductive when the overdischarged condition is detected by the condition detecting circuit.

Abstract: A system for queueing and selective pushout and method are disclosed for a packet communications module such as a shared memory asynchronous transfer mode (ATM) switch. The shared memory stores packets in queues, each packet having a field and at most two pointers. Within each queue, the packets having respective space priorities are stored in sub-queues each having the respective space priorities. The packets are stored in these priority sub-queues using a first pointer pointing to the next packet of the same space priority in the queue. The second pointer associated with a stored packet points to the previous packet of greater than or equal space priority in the FIFO order in the queue. The field of a packet is used to store the priority value corresponding to the next packet in FIFO order in the queue, and this field is used by a processor to decide priority sub-queues to serve next. The packets are stored in the queues in a FIFO order using the two pointers and the fields of the packets. The processor controls the selective pushout to push out a packet and uses the two pointers and the fields of the packets to restore the FIFO order. A method is also disclosed including the steps of storing packets in a queue, with each of the queued packets associated with the two pointers and a field; serving the queue; pushing out packets from the queue; and maintaining queue-lengths and a state information table.

Abstract: A steerable stylet assembly for use in guiding a medical catheter through a patient's venous system is provided. The device generally includes a handle assembly having an elongated inner stylet fixedly coupled thereto and an elongated outer stylet slideably coupled thereto. The elongated inner stylet includes a predefined non-linear shape and the elongated outer tube element includes a predefined linear shape. Accordingly, when the outer tube element envelopes the inner stylet, the device is linear; however, when the outer stylet is slid relative to the inner stylet it allows the inner stylet to take the predefined shape. Thus, the medical catheter takes the predefined shape. An optional mechanism is provided for use with active fixation medical catheters.
