Abstract: A steerable catheter includes an elongate cannula having a proximal end and a distal end. A blood characteristic sensor, such as an oxygen sensor, is connected to the cannula and disposed to sense percent oxygen saturation of blood at the distal end of the cannula. The blood oxygen sensor generates a signal indicative of percent oxygen saturation. An oximetry display is responsive to the signal and capable of displaying sensed percent oxygen saturation in a form understandable by an operator. A steering mechanism is operably connected to the cannula and is selectively operable by an operator to deflect the distal end of the cannula. A method of locating the coronary sinus of a heart involves endovascularly introducing a catheter into the right atrium, sensing percent oxygen saturation at the distal end of the catheter, and steering the catheter toward a region of lowest percent oxygen saturation.

Abstract: An airbag module (20) utilizes tape dispensing cartridges (40; 94; 138). A tape end extends from each cartridge to the inside surface of an airbag (22). As the airbag inflates, tape (36) is drawn from the tape cartridges as the tapes are drawn along with the deploying airbag. The rate at which tape is withdrawn from the cartridges (40; 94; 138) is measured by sensible indicia of a magnetic or optical nature positioned on the tape (36) and drawn past a sensor (44; 106) contained within the tape cartridge. The markings on the tape can be nonuniform along the length of the tape. A tape storage area outlet (60) and a cartridge outlet (64) are each formed by two relatively large radius corners. A seal (92) is attached to the tape and the cartridge (40; 94; 138) to prevent the ingress of contaminants. As the airbag (22) withdraws tape(36) from the cartridges, the seal (92) is unseated. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A method for paging user equipments (UE) receiving a second service in a mobile communication system providing a first service and the second service. A serving General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) support node (SGSN), determines an identifier indicating the second service and a coefficient related to paging occasions for transmitting a paging instance indicating presence/absence of paging information related to the second service in response to a request for the second service from UEs, and transmits the determined identifier and coefficient to a radio network controller (RNC). The RNC transmits the identifier and the coefficient to the UEs, determines the paging occasions and transmission times of the paging instance in each of the paging occasions by using the identifier and the coefficient, and transmits the paging instances over a first channel at the transmission times of the paging instances for each of the paging occasions so that the UEs recognize presence/absence of the paging information. In one embodiment, the RNC determines an activation time and transmits the paging instances over a first channel at a first rate from the present until the activation time and at a second rate from the activation time so that the UEs recognize presence/absence of the paging information. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A guide wire includes a wire member having a first wire (2) disposed on the distal side of the guide wire, and a second wire (3) disposed on the proximal side from the first wire. The second wire is made from a material having an elastic modulus larger than that of the first wire. For example, the first wire is made from a superelastic alloy, and the second wire is made from a stainless steel. The first wire is joined to the second wire at a welded portion (14) by welding. A coil (4) is disposed on the distal side from the first wire. A cover layer (5) is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the wire member in such a manner as to cover at least the welded portion. The cover layer is made from a material capable of reducing the friction of the cover layer, for example, a fluorocarbon resin or a hydrophilic material, to thereby improve the sliding performance of the guide wire. Such a guide wire is excellent in operationality and kink resistance. <IMAGE>
