Title: Scheduling and power saving with unscheduled service periods in a wireless system
Inventor: KHOLAIF AHMAD
IPC: H04W84/12
Filed: 2012-09-04
Abstract: A wireless client device associated with an access point records at which time T after a transmission time of a most recent beacon frame it gained access to the wireless medium for transmission of an uplink packet to the access point. The wireless client device self--schedules target transmission times for future uplink packets, where each target transmission time is T after a respective expected transmission time of a beacon frame.  Rather than immediately attempting to gain access to the wireless medium when it determines that another uplink packet is ready for transmission, the wireless client device waits until shortly before its next upcoming target transmission time to make the attempt.  Implementation in devices that are attempting to transmit uplink packets to the same access point may prolong the amount of time they can remain in a doze state, potentially reducing their power consumption.

Abstract: An attachment mechanism (125, 225, 325, 425, 525, 625) and method for attaching or coupling a guide wire (130, 230, 330,430, 530, 630) to a catheter for re - canalization or opening a passage through an occlusion in a blood vessel is provided. The attachment mechanism generates friction forces against the guide wire to couple the guide wire to a catheter, which design permits a greater force to be used on the guide wire during a re - canalization procedure. The invention also encompasses use of the attachment mechanism in conjunction with active catheters, which have vibration - generating means to oscillate the distal end of the catheter or a component in the distal end of the catheter, to add vibration motion, preferably axial vibration motion, to the increased force that may be applied to the guide wire for purposes of penetrating an occlusion. The methods of the invention relate to methods of attaching the guide wire to the catheter and methods of treating a vessel having a partial or total occlusion.
