Title: Percutaneously implantable medical device configured to promote tissue ingrowth
Inventor: PORTER CHRISTOPHER H
IPC: A61L29/14
Filed: 2004-04-09
Abstract: An implantable device including a housing having a stud projecting percutaneously through an incision in the patient's skin. The stud defines a peripheral surface extending longitudinally inwardly from the stud outer end.  The longitudinal peripheral surface is used as a substrate to carry a peripheral fibrous layer which extends longitudinally along the stud from its outer end adjacent to the skin incision to below the patient's epidermal and dermal skin layers for promoting laterally directed soft tissue ingrowth. The housing also defines a lateral shoulder surface oriented substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal peripheral surface. The shoulder surface, when implanted, is located just inwardly from the patient's outer skin surface. The shoulder surface also carries a porous layer conducive to promoting tissue ingrowth. The provision of both lateral and longitudinal porous layers on the device allows tissue ingrowth, i.e., tissue growth into the interstices of both porous layers to form an enhanced infection resistant barrier while also providing improved device anchoring.

Patent CA-2530299-A1 (CA)
Inventor: KANE MARK EDWARD
IPC: B61L25/02
Filed: 2004-07-01
Abstract: A method and system for compensating for wheel wear uses position and/or speed information from an independent positioning system to measure some distance over which the train has traveled. Wheel rotation information is also collected over the distance. The wheel rotation information and distance and/or speed information are then used to determine the size of the train wheels. The method is performed periodically to correct for changes in wheel size over time due to wear so that the wheel rotation information can be used to determine train position and speed in the event of a positioning system failure.

Abstract: A base station (BS) (110) in a wireless network (100) establishes power levels for transmitting messages acknowledging receipt of packet data from a mobile communications device (MCD) (114). In one implementation, the BS infers whether the MCD received a given acknowledgement message by considering whether (306, 316) the next communication from the MCD comprises new packet data, and whether (310, 320) that data comprises re-transmitted data. The BS  adjusts (312, 314, 322, 324) transmit power level for future acknowledgement messages according to whether the MCD received past acknowledgement messages.  In a different implementation, actual/estimated transmit power from a serving base station to a given MCD is averaged (404), and increased (406) by a prescribed amount to yield a target level. Whenever the non-serving base station transmits messages acknowledging receipt of packet data from the MCD, the non-serving base station transmits (408) at the target level.
