Abstract: A method and apparatus for providing congestive heart failure therapy status. An electronic device, preferably a cardiac rhythm management device, capable of measuring transthoracic impedance and for sensing a level of physical activity is implanted in a patient. The transthoracic impedance signal is processed to obtain an estimate of the subject's minute ventilation, respiratory rate, tidal volume, inspiratory rate and expiratory rate. From accelerometer measured activity, an estimate is obtained of oxygen uptake, carbon dioxide production and work rate. Ratios of tidal volume to respiratory rate, tidal volume to inspiratory time, tidal volume to expiratory time, heart rate to minute ventilation, respiratory rate to minute ventilation, tidal volume to minute ventilation, minute ventilation to oxygen uptake, minute ventilation to carbon dioxide production, minute ventilation to work rate, heart rate to work rate, oxygen uptake to heart rate and other ratios are meaningful status indicators for assessing the efficacy of particular therapy regimens to CHF patients.

Abstract: Methods for forming substrates having a powder are provided. The powder may be applied to the substrate by means of a rotating drum and a cooperating blade that dispenses the powder on to the substrate. The method may be used to dispense compositions for protecting plants, including, for example, fruits, vegetables, plants, and flowers, against decay. The method may include the application of an adhesive to the substrate into which the powder applied. The powder may be a mixture that includes at least one substance capable of adsorbing ethylene released by the plant, and at least one substance, an oxidizing agent, capable of degrading ethylene. The powder mixture may be in the form of individualized grains embedded in the adhesive layer. Part of the grain surface remains outside of the adhesive layer, for example, to thereby make the powder grains active in the degradation of ethylene.

Abstract: An ablation burr for a rotational atherectomy device that may reduce the risk of damage to a vessel wall while providing ablative cutting surfaces out to the maximum diameter of the burr. Two different abrasive surfaces are provided on the leading surface of the ablation burr. A less aggressive or finer abrasiveness is provided near the ablation burr maximum diameter, which is the portion of the burr nearest the vessel wall. This portion of the burr also presents a relatively shallow angle of attach to the vessel wall. A more aggressive or coarser abrasive is applied to portions of the burr disposed further from the vessel wall. In one embodiment, the more aggressive abrasive portion of the burr has a concave profile, thereby further reducing the possibility that the more aggressive abrasive will contact the vessel wall, even when the burr is rotated significantly away from the vessel axis. The ablation burr body may be profiled with an offset or stepped sections on the leading surface that are dimensioned such that the abrasive particles do not extend radially beyond the maximum diameter of the smooth back surface of the ablation burr.

Abstract: The present invention relates to switching in electronic networks. Many data transmission protocols and technologies used in such networks, such as TCP/IP and Ethernet, use variable-length packets for transmission. Often however, the nodes that make up these networks typically contain high-speed cell switches that only support fixed-size data units. To support variable-length packets in such a fixed-size cell switch non-interleaving switching and transmission must be offered. The present invention provides such a solution in essence by segmenting a variable-length frame into a plurality of fixed-length cells including a start-of-frame cell, one or more continuation cell(s), and an end-of-frame cell and routes said fixed-length cells through said switch, thereby providing, at an output of said switch, subsequent and deadlock-free transmission of consecutive cells of a certain frame, and block any cell of a different frame from interleaving. This leads to better average delay characteristics and removes the need for packet reassembly.

Abstract: The invention refers to the non-destructive measurement of the ripening degree of individual vegetable products, preferable fruit, in which such a measurement is carried out by engaging each individual product between two seizing and conveying elements, i.e. a moving upper means and a lower accommodating means, in which the latter travels along a pre-defined rectilinear path, and the upper moving means is adapted to displace, also on the vertical plane, with respect to a pre-defined level line. When moving, said upper moving means is subject to an adjustable force tending to compress the vegetable product and, therefore, tends to deviate, i.e. move away from its original position accordingly. By measuring the vertical deviation of the upper moving means across a pre-defined displacement path the possibility is given for the pliability of the surface of the vegetable product, and therefore the ripening degree thereof, to be assessed along with other factors involved. <IMAGE>

Abstract: Disclosed is a multiplexer that can be easily reconfigured, in the sense that the number of channels can be reduced or expanded by replacing the filters with suitable reactive loads and vice-versa. Although such loads are easy to manufacture, they are designed in such a way that the electrical characteristics of the remaining reconfigurable multiplexer maintains unaltered and additional tuning is not required. The present solution allows reducing both costs and losses of the branch by eliminating the circulators, although maintaining part of their flexibility. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The present invention provides an arrangement by which an affected GGSN in a mobile packet switched communication system can initiate a removal of "hanging" PDP contexts. This is obtained by introducing a new supervision mechanism in the GGSN. The supervision mechanism discovers a possible hanging PDP Context and interrogates the SGSN to check the validity of the PDP Context. If the PDP Context is invalid, it is removed in the GGSN. The supervision mechanism is implemented as a guard timer. The timer will monitor the activity (signaling or payload) registered for a PDP Context. If no activity is registered for this PDP Context before the timer expires, the PDP context is regarded as possibly hanging.
