Title: Range-finding system for a portable image reader
Inventor: PAGE HARRY
IPC: G01S15/08
Filed: 2005-11-01
Abstract: A range-finding system for a portable image reader is described. The range-finding system uses a distance-measuring device, such as an ultrasonic transducer, to determine the distance between the reader and a target, such as a label containing a bar code. An operator receives a visual indication which will assist in positioning the image reader within the optimal reading range of the target. The visual indicator may include three LED's of different color or with different blinking rates which will indicate to the operator that the reader is short, long or in the optimal reading range of the reader. In one embodiment, the reader would automatically cycle through an image acquisition or decode sequence when range finder detects that the target is within the optimal reading range of the reader. In another embodiment, the visual indicator will prompt the operator to manually trigger the image acquisition or decode sequence once the reader is positioned within the optimal reading range.

Abstract: The present invention is a handle for controlling the deflection of a distal end of a catheter body. The catheter body includes first and second deflection wires that extend through the catheter body from the distal end of the catheter body. The handle comprises a slide base, an adjustment knob, a first slide and a second slide. The slide base includes a first end, a second end, and a slide compartment longitudinally extending through at least a portion of the slide base. The adjustment knob is rotateably connected to the first end of the slide base and includes a hole extending through the knob, wherein at least a portion of an inner diameter of the hole includes an internal right thread and an internal left thread. The first slide is located in the slide compartment, is adapted to be coupled to the first deflection wire, and includes an external right thread. The second slide is located in the slide compartment, is adapted to be coupled to the second deflection wire, and includes an external left thread. The internal threads of the knob engage the threads of the slides. Consequently, in operation, rotation of the adjustment knob causes the slides to displace in opposite directions within the slide compartment and the distal end of the catheter body to deflect accordingly.

Title: Communication protocol for a wireless mesh architecture
Inventor: RICH MARK J
IPC: H04L12/28
Filed: 2004-08-09
Abstract: A wireless mesh communication protocol that dynamically assigns communication time-slots and frequencies to mesh nodes. A first node is established as a PC  that sequentially polls other nodes. A second node responds at a predetermined time with information that includes database records, and then a third node responds similarly. The second node is then established as the PC and the first node is polled during dynamically allocated time-slots and on a frequency that depend on the second node's database records. The third node is then established as a PC and acts similarly. In both cases the first node responds by sending information and data records. The first node is then re-established as the PC. The first node then polls the second and third nodes at times and frequencies that depend on the first node's database records.

Downlink macro-diversity is particularly important whenthe link layer connections (402, 502) between the end node (200) and the corresponding access node (300, 300'), e.g., the access links, are subject t o independent or partially correlated time variations in signal strength and interference. In accordance with the invention, the end node (200) dynamical ly selects a downlink (402, 502) to be used out of a set of available access links on a per packet basis subject to prevailing channel conditions, availability of air~link resources and other constraints. The invention improves the robustness and efficiency of communication, overall utilization of air-link resources, and quality of service experienced by the end node (200).
