Title: Deflectable instrument ports
Inventor: PAGE BRETT
IPC: A61B1/005
Filed: 2010-07-29
Abstract: An instrument port for a single instrument comprises an elongate tube having a lumen. The elongate tube has a rigid section of fixed shape, and a more distal deflectable section. An actuator is coupled to the rigid section of the elongate tube. The actuator has an instrument pathway in communication with the lumen of the tube. The instrument pathway is positioned such that a distal, end of a medical instrument may be inserted through the instrument pathway and the lumen and out the distal end of the lumen into a body cavity. Manipulation of the instrument handle engages actuation elements that extend between the actuator and the deflectable section, causing movement of deflectable section and thus moving the instrument tip within the body. The port includes a mount that can be coupled to a stabilization arm within the operating room., allowing the port to be supported and maintained in a chosen position and orientation.

Inventor: BERGLIN PATRIK
IPC: G06F21/00
Filed: 2003-10-28
Abstract: A method for, from a server, controlling transfers of jobs from clients to shared resources in the network comprises that a request for sending a job to a shared resource selected by a client is received from the client and it is checked continuously whether the resource is available and has capacity by the moment for reception of jobs. A  go--ahead is sent immediately to the client that the client can send the job to the resource if the resource is available and has capacity by the moment. The request is placed in a queue for the resource if the resource is available, but for the moment lacks capacity, the queue is updated continuously and a go-ahead is sent to the client that the client can send the job to the resource when the request has advanced to the first position in the queue and the resource has capacity. The step of receiving a request is followed by assigning an identity to the job, which is sent to the client, and the identity is comprised in the go-ahead sent to the client so that the client from said identity can identify the job. A confirmation that the job has been completed successfully by the resource or an indication that the job has not been completed successfully by the resource is received from the client, after which the request is removed from the queue.

Abstract: An appliance wirelessly receives any of a plurality of different signals that comprise control instructions from a transmitter for a second appliance other than the appliance and of a different class of appliance. The appliance then provides, in the absence of learning, any of a plurality of different control instructions to be used by the appliance as a function of that received signal. By one approach those wirelessly-received control instructions relate to controllable functions for the second appliance. Pursuant to these teachings, the receiving appliance effectively converts a received control instruction that relates to one kind of functionality for a given kind of appliance into a control instruction that relates to a different kind of functionality and that is usable by a different kind of appliance.

Abstract: A microwave transmission apparatus is provided. A multiplexing unit generates multiplexed data based on a service clock rate. An interface unit writes and reads the multiplexed data at the service clock rate and a read clock rate respectively. An encoding and mapping unit performs encoding and mapping on the multiplexed data using a symbol clock rate to generate symbol data, and sends the symbol data to up conversion units. A clock tracking unit generates the symbol clock according to the system clock, and performs frequency division on the symbol clock to acquire the read clock. A stream control unit adjusts the service clock rate according to a water line error generated by the interface unit, so that the service clock rate is equal to the read clock rate. As a frequency and a phase of the system clock are fixed, even ACM switching occurs, the system clock is stably transferred.
