Title: Accessing legacy applications from the internet
Inventor: GUNGABEESOON SATISH
IPC: G06F9/44
Filed: 2000-08-14
Abstract: A method and apparatus that has the ability to run interactive legacy applications from a network, such as the Internet, without requiring any code changes in the application.  Thus, the application is unaware of the new network environment and continues to run, as--is, in its native environment. The legacy application may be accessed from any of several client devices using a network server that can be connected to or integral with the computer on which the application is executing. Typically, these legacy applications are critical to a business, are self-contained on the computer, have mixed business and user interface logic, and were written before software engineering principles of distributed computing emerged. Separating business logic from user interface logic as required by web application architectures is not practicable in the case of legacy applications. A client, such as a thin client, has a network user agent, such as a web browser, which can access a network server connected to the computer. The method of this invention provides an environment such that when an application is invoked from the network user agent, a runtime data redirector intercepts the application's raw data and sends the data to the network server which then serves the data across the network to the network user agent after dynamically updating the associated application's network pages, such as JavaServerPages, which were generated by converting the proprietary display screens of the legacy application. Input data from the user entered through the network user agent are sent back to the application via the same runtime intercept. In this fashion, the client and network environment are transparent to the application while the application is now able to take advantage of many Internet and other network capabilities.

Title: Optical fiber navigation system
Inventor: BUCHOLTZ FRANK
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2000-10-27
Abstract: The present invention is a system and method for determining the shape, positioning and orientation of a passageway, such as the lumen of a catheter within an human or animal body. An array of optical fibers are placed within a passageway, and as the fiber flexes or bends within the passageway, a property of light travelling in the fiber is modified. Light is passed through the fiber and variations in a physical property of this light are measured to determine the flex or bend of the fiber. Preferably, an array of three or more optical fibers are affixed together and changes in wavelength of the light passed through these fibers allows for determination of the amount of strain within these optical fibers and in turn, the shape of the fiber array. Utilizing three or more optical fibers allows for determining the shape of the array in three dimensions. Additional methods are disclosed for determining the position and orientation of the optical fiber array, within the selected passageway.

Title: Apparatus and method for vascular embolization
Inventor: ROSENBLUTH ROBERT F
IPC: A61B17/12
Filed: 1999-04-23
Abstract: Apparatus for vascular embolization, deployable through a microt--catheter, includes a flexible, elongate deployment tube dimensioned for insertion through the microcatheter, and a filamentous embolic device releasably attached to the distal end of the tube. The embolic device is controllably transformable from a soft, compliant state to a rigid or semi-rigid state. The embolic de-vice may include a polymeric material that is transformable by contact with vascular blood or with a liquid that is cooler than vascular blood, or it may include a metallic material that is transformable by electrolytic corrosion.  The embolic device may be a continuous filamentous polymeric extrusion; an elon-gate microcoil filled with polymeric material; an elongate, multi-segmented chain including polymeric interconnecting portions; or an elongate chain of metal segments that are fused together by electrolytic corrosion. An aneurysm is embolized with this apparatus by deploying a microcatheter so that its distal end is adjacent the aneurysm; deploying the embolic device through the microcatheter and into the aneurysm so that the embolic device forms a web-like mass in the aneurysm; and transforming the embolic device from its soft, compliant state to its rigid or semi-rigid state. The embolic device is advantageously deployed by releasably attaching it to a flexible, elongate deployment tube that is passed through the microcatheter, and then detaching the embolic device from the tube when the embolic device is suitably situated.
