Abstract: Collisions in a wireless network are detected and resolved through the use of transmissions by access points in the network. In some aspects, each access point may select a resource from a set of resources and transmit an indication of a unique identifier (e.g., a long identifier) of that access point on the selected resource. In some aspects, each access point may select a bit and append that bit to a reused identifier (e.g., a short identifier) of that access point to provide a channelization parameter that is used to channelize signals transmitted by the access point. The selection by a given access point may be based on a unique identi-fier assigned to that access point. The selection by a given access point may be a pseudorandom selection (e.g., based on a corre-sponding unique identifier). Another node (e.g., an access terminal) in the network may identify a collision based on the transmis-sions by the access points. In this case, the node may transmit an indication of the collision to cause one of the access points to cease transmitting. The node may then inform one colliding access point of the existence and identity of the other colliding access point to enable the access points to resolve the collision.

Abstract: Methods of increasing the permeability of corneal epithelium to facilitate the diffusion of agents into the corneal stroma and methods to temporarily destabilize the collagen fibrillar network of the stroma are provided.  Used in combination, these methods open the epithelium to facilitate diffusion of stabilization molecules into the stro-ma and dissociate bridging molecules from stromal colla-gen fibers, thereby priming the collagen fibrillar network for restabilization by stabilization molecules. These meth-ods can be used to increase the effectiveness and longevity of non-invasive corneal reshaping, such as orthokeratology, for correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

Title: Methods for detecting abnormally methylated nucleic acid in heterogeneous biological samples
Inventor: SHUBER ANTHONY P
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2003-04-11
Abstract: The invention provides amplification-based methods for detecting hypermethylated or hypomethylated nucleic acid in heterogeneous biological samples, e.g. stool. A screening procedure based on the detection of hypermethylation, preferably at multiples genes, provides a means for detecting various diseases, e.g. colorectal cancer. By using chimeric primers that contain a 5' non-specific portion, the specificity and efficiency of the nucleic acid amplification is improved. Methods of the invention are especially useful in detection of rare events in a heterogeneous sample.

Abstract: A system and method for pushing information from a host system to a mobile data communication device upon sensing a triggering event is disclosed. A redirector program operating at the host system enables a user to continuously redirect user- selected data items from the host system to the user's mobile data communication device upon detecting that one or more user-defined triggering events has occurred. The redirector program operates in connection with event generating applications and repackaging systems at the host system to configure and detect particular user-defined events, and then to repackage the user-selected data items in an electronic wrapper prior to pushing the data items to the mobile device. The system includes information processing components for identifying one or more information processors in the vicinity of the mobile device and then routing an attachment or information from the host system, the device or an external information source to a selected information processor.

Title: Multi-material abrading head for atherectomy devices having laterally displaced center of mass
Inventor: MCBROOM JEFFREY A
IPC: A61B17/22
Filed: 2009-12-17
Abstract: An abrading head for a high-speed rotation atherectomy device is disclosed.  The head has its center of mass laterally displaced from the rotational axis of the drive shaft. As the drive shaft spins, centrifugal force forces the abrading head radially outward. At high speeds, and the abrasive portion of the head may subtend an abrading cylinder larger than at low speeds or at rest. The abrading head has two components, each having a different density.  The connection portion may be an incomplete cylinder, which fastens onto the drive shaft, and may be a relatively low density metal, such as stainless steel. The eccentric portion may be a relatively high density metal, such as tungsten or tantalum, and is attached to the connection portion. The eccentric portion has all or most of its mass on one side of the rotation axis of the drive shaft, providing a larger separation between the center of mass of the abrading head and the rotational axis of the drive shaft than if the abrading head were made from only one material.
