Title: Method and apparatus to facilitate inter-an hrpd hard handoff
Inventor: SAYEEDI SHAHAB M
IPC: H04W36/08
Filed: 2005-09-15
Abstract: Various embodiments are described to address the need for reduced handoff delays associated with inter-AN (access network) HRPD (High Rate Packet Data)/1XEV-DO handoffs. The disclosed approach enables an AT (101) with an active packet data session to perform a hard handoff from a source AN (121, 221) to a target AN (122, 222) without having to force the data session dormant. Unlike known hard handoff approaches that involve coordination by a mobile switching center (MSC), the disclosed approach uses peer-to-peer signaling with no MSC involvement, such as that between source and target ANs or PCFs (131, 132, 231, 232). For example, data session information at the source side is transferred via new A13 messaging to the source entity's target-side peer to otherwise reduce signaling between the source and target equipment.
Patent CA-2553116-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ROOP JOHN AVI
IPC: A61B18/12
Filed: 2006-07-25
Abstract: An introducer sheath has multiple distal slots allowing for translation of a catheter within a cardiac cavity. A pair of longitudinal slots are provided on opposite sides of the sheath near the distal end. A portion of the catheter may deploy from one of the slots while the ablation tip deploys from the opposing slot. The sheath design provides greater maneuverability for the catheter in a direction orthogonal to the tissue to be ablated, while restricting lateral movement of the catheter. The longitudinal direction of the slots further aids in the formation of linear lesions using the catheter.

Abstract: A skin dressing of the general form disclosed in WO 03/030800 comprises oxidoreductase enzyme in hydrated condition in a hydrated hydrogel of hydrophilic polymer material, wherein hydrogel comprises at least 25 % by weight of the polymer material. A currently preferred dressing comprises a lower, skin-contacting layer (18) comprising a hydrated hydrogel comprising 30 % by weight sodium poly-AMPS and 5 % by weight glucose, and an upper layer (16) comprising a hydrated hydrogel comprising 15% by weight sodium poly-AMPS, 15 % by weight ammonium poly-AMPS, and glucose oxidase. Using hydrogels with a higher concentration of polymer material is found to affect the rate of oxygen generation and hence the oxygen concentration profile beneath the dressing in use in a manner beneficial to wound healing.

Inventor: MARTINS ANDRE LUIS
IPC: H02P6/06
Filed: 2005-09-21
Abstract: A method of controlling the speed of an electric motor, said method being a digital method designed to control the speed of an induction motor that is powered by a triac device to a preset speed, in which the speed of the motor is measured and a digital numerical value representative of the mathematical first derivative of motor speed is calculated. A determination is made of the digital numerical value of the motor speed first derivative relative to a range, or band, of values. An error signal also is computed that is proportional to the error between the measured current motor speed and the preset speed and a determination is made of the digital numerical value of this error signal relative to a range, or band, of values that includes a value corresponding to that of the motor operating at the preset speed. If the value of each of the two signals is within its respective band, then the two numerical values are added to produce a total error signal whose value is then converted to a signal to a signal to correct the triac triggering angle to that needed to obtain the preset motor speed.
