Inventor: HOYNS DIRK V
IPC: A61B5/107
Filed: 2009-08-18
Abstract: An instrument for measuring cervical dilation can have a pair of arms (102A, 102B) connected at their proximal ends (103A, 103B) to an arm pivot or articulating member, the arms being in movable communication with a gauge assembly (1002) for measuring the relative distance between the arms at a fixed location near the proximal ends of the arms. The arms can be disposed to apply an outward lateral pressure against the walls of the cervix, thereby engaging the cervix without the need for physical penetration, gripping, or other attachment of the device to the cervical tissue. Continuous outward lateral pressure of the arms against the cervical walls can allow the arms to expand in response to and in concert with expansion and dilation of the cervix. The relative distance between the arms correlates to the diameter of the cervix, such that the correlated measurement indi-cated on a scale of the gauge means is the measurement of cervical dilation.

Abstract: An infusion pump (50) uses sensors (18,19,24) and a computer program to detect tubing (16) in a tube-loading section of the pump. The pump and the computer program also measures one or more of the tubing outer diameter, outer circumference, inner diameter, inner circumference, and tubing wall thickness. The infusion pump utilizes proximity sensors (18,19), such as an ultrasonic sensor, a capacitive sensor, or even an air-inline sensor to detect proximity between two infusion pump surfaces, such as the surfaces that clamp the tubing in the pump, to determine thickness. At least one of the clamping surfaces is equipped with sensors (29) to indicate contact length of the tubing with the surface. Using these measurements, the tubing wall thickness and inner diameter can be determined. Knowing the actual tubing inner diameter, increased volumetric accuracy is possible, up to a three or four percent improvement over present measurements.

Abstract: The invention relates to a coder (36) for mapping a digital signal (10) into a transmission signal (12) and to a decoder (44) for mapping a reception signal (13) into a digital signal (10) for transmission by and reception from a real channel (42), respectively. The coder (36) allocates code symbols (16) of a code space (40) to data symbols (14) of the digital signal (12) and generates the transmission signal (12) on the basis of the code symbols (16). The decoder (44) detects the code symbols (16) on the basis of the reception signal (13) and allocates data symbols (14) of the digital signal (10) to the code symbols (16) of the code space (40). According to the invention, the data symbols (12) each have at least two bits (18) of the digital signal (10). In this case, the code space (40) comprises code symbols (16) of two groups (38, 39). Each code symbol (16) has one or a plurality of edge spacings (28). The edge spacing (28) or each of the edge spacings (28) corresponds to the minimum edge spacing (28a) or an integer multiple of the minimum edge spacing (28a) in the first group (38).  The edge spacing (28) or one, a plurality of or all of the plurality of edge spacings (28) correspond(s) to one or more integer multiples of the minimum edge spacing (28a) plus a fraction of an integer multiple of the minimum edge spacing (28a) in the second group (29).

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for use by a mobile communication device (102) in switching operation for communications from a wireless wide area network (WWAN) (104) to a wireless local area network (WLAN) (190) are disclosed. While providing operation for communications in the WWAN (104), the mobile device (102) continually maintains visited-cell site history information, in its memory, indicative of one or more visited cell sites of the WWAN (104) that served the mobile device (102) over a moving time period, and continually monitors the site history information to identify whether it has been contained within a local geographic region over the moving time period. If it has, it is permitted to operate for communications with the WLAN (190). In response to such permission, the mobile device (102) may enable its WLAN radio transceiver (108b) and select the WLAN  (190) for communications. The WLAN radio transceiver (108b) is, thus, enabled only when needed, which reduces power consumption and saves battery life in mobile device (102).
