Title: Remote access procedure for electronic locks
Inventor: SHACHAR YOSI
IPC: E05B49/00
Filed: 2009-12-02
Abstract: There is provided an electronic lock and method for unlocking an electronic lock using an access code. In particular, the electronic lock of the present disclosure may be unlocked by an authorized user even if the access code is forgotten or lost. The electronic lock generates a random number, which a user may provide, after having been authenticated, to a remote location, where the random number is used to compute a temporary access code using a secret algorithm. This same secret algorithm is also present on the electronic lock, and therefore the electronic lock may recognize the temporary access code when entered by the user.

Abstract: A hearing aid and a method of managing data stored in a logging device in a hearing aid is devised. The method involves obtaining sets of data representing parameters such as the sound environment at a predetermined data acquisition rate and storing the data according to one of a plurality of a set of possible parameter sets in a histogram is having room for a limited number of instances of each particular set of parameters. If the limit for a particular histogram bin is reached when an instance is stored in the histogram, the data acquisition rate is adjusted according to a specified scheme and the number of instances of every parameter set is reduced by a fixed factor. Acquired data in the histogram thus reflects the most recent sound environments experienced by the hearing aid user.

Abstract: Described, in certain embodiments, are methods and apparatuses for delivering anchoring devices such as T-anchors into body passage walls. Some inventive methods involve inserting one or more anchoring devices into a wall of an organ in a direction from a luminal surface to an abluminal surface of the wall. In some instances, inserting a device in this manner, while providing at least part of the device implanted between the luminal surface and the abluminal surface of the wall, is conducted without the device exiting the wall's abluminal surface. In these and other inventive methods, delivering an anchoring device into a body passage wall may involve manipulating the wall in some manner before, during and/or after placing the device in the wall. Various forms of manipulation are described in this regard.

Abstract: Techniques for dynamically varying coverage in a multi-carrier communication system are described. A sector may operate on multiple carriers. The sector may vary coverage on a given carrier k based on its load, so that less interference may be caused to other sectors when the sector load is light. In one design, the sector may communicate on a first carrier at a first transmit power level and on a second carrier at a second transmit power level equal to or lower than the first transmit power level. The sector may vary the second transmit power level based on its load to vary the coverage of the second carrier. The sector may reduce the second transmit power level to zero or a low level if the sector load is light. The sector may also vary the second transmit pow-er level based on a function of sector load or a switching pattern.

Abstract: Polymers with non-leaching antimicrobial activity and their use as surface coatings or bulk resins for medical devices. The antimicrobial polymers are prepared with antimicrobial moieties covalently bonded to a polymer chain end or to a polymer backbone at a side chain end. The antimicrobial moiety-containing endgroups include surface active (or surface assembling) moieties which promote enrichment of antimicrobial endgroups at the polymer surface and thus formation of an antimicrobially active surface. Polymers with built-in antimicrobial endgroups can be used as bulk resins, as antimicrobial additives, or as infection preventative coatings in the manufacture of medical devices (e.g., catheters, vascular access devices, peripheral lines, IV sites, drains, gastric feeding and tubes, and other implantable devices).
