Abstract: La présente invention porte sur une méthode d'imagerie diagnostique améliorée par des agents de contraste dans le contrôle de l'efficacité des thérapies d'intervention. Les agents de contraste utilisés dans cette méthode comprennent une fraction améliorant l'image (IEM) et une fraction de liaison tissulaire dépendant d'un état (SDTBM). Ces agents de contraste présentent une liaison dépendant d'un état à un ou plusieurs composants d'un tissu ciblé ou d'un composant tissulaire, ce qui entraîne une modification détectable dans les caractéristiques des signaux d'un agent, une fois lié au tissu ciblé. En conséquence, ces agents présentent une affinité de liaison au tissu ciblé, et donc un contraste d'image du tissu ciblé, ce qui permet de déterminer le changement d'état au cours de la thérapie.

Abstract: A novel system and method for maintaining timing synchronization in a digital video network, in conjunction with a digital video and data delivery system, makes possible the delivery of digital video content, bi-directional data services, such as Internet data (14), and plain old telephone service (POTS) to an end user over a communications channel. The channel is typically the copper wire pair that extends between a telephone company central office (100) and a residential premises (1300), but may be any communication medium that supports the communication of compressed digital video, bi-directional data, such as Internet data, and POTS, and indeed, may be a wireless connection. The digital video and data delivery system capitalizes on a bus, or broadcast backplane, created by circuitry contained within the central office. The broadcast backplane enables a plurality of video program data to be available to each end user, and a1lows a plurality of end users access to a plurality of video programming content without the necessity of delivering the entire program content to each user. The digital video and data delivery system employs novel architecture to synchronize the timing of the digital video signal to ensure that the digital video program received is of high quality and that it also complies with the MPEG-2 standard.

Title: A decoder having a gain controller in a mobile communication system
Inventor: KIM BEONG-JO
IPC: H04B1/40
Filed: 1999-12-30
Granted: 2006-09-19
Abstract: An iterative decoder with a gain controller in a mobile communication system.  In the iterative decoder, a first component decoder receives a first extrinsic information signal, a first parity signal, and a systematic code signal, decodes the systematic code signal out of the received signals, and generates a primary decoded signal including a second extrinsic information component. Here, the first and second extrinsic information signals remove noise in the input signals to the first and second component decoders. A second component decoder receives the primary decoded signal from the first component decoder and a second parity signal, decodes the decoded signal out of the received signals, and generates a secondary decoded signal and the first extrinsic information signal. One or more gain controllers are connected between the first and second component decoders, for attenuating either or both the first and second extrinsic information signals.

Title: Air bubble sensor
Inventor: SOBERON PETER A
IPC: G01N29/22
Filed: 1999-06-04
Granted: 2008-12-09
Abstract: A system and a method for detecting the presence of air bubbles in an intravenous (IV) line supplying a medicinal liquid to a patient. An air bubble sensor includes an ultrasonic transmitter acoustically coupled to an ultrasonic receiver to detect the presence of a gas (e.g., air) in a portion of a tube comprising the IV line. The transmitter and receiver are mounted on pivoting transducers that are disposed on opposite sides of the tube. A spring biases the transducers inwardly to-ward each other so that the transmitter and receiver contact opposite sides of the tubing. This assembly automatically accommodates different sizes of tubing and tubing of a relatively wide range of stiffness. The tube is connected to a disposable pumping cassette that is engaged in a pump chassis on which the transducers are pivotally mounted. A user actuat ed plunger on the pump chassis is depressed to cause the transmitter and receiver to move away from the tube when the pumping cassett e is removed from or inserted into the interior of the pump chassis. A controller precisely monitors the flow of medicinal liquid throug h the tubing to detect the size of gas bubbles and total volume of gas infused. The controller automatically compensates for minor contamination of the exterior surface of the tube, e.g., if the surface is wet with a liquid.
