Abstract: A telemetric medical system comprises a telemetric medical sensor (50) for implantation in
a patient's body for measuring a parameter therein. The sensor comprises a housing (52) and a
membrane (56) at one end of the housing. The membrane (56) is deformable in response to the
parameter. A microchip (90) is positioned within the housing and operatively communicates with
the membrane for transmitting a signal indicative of the parameter. The system also includes
a signal reading and charging device (140) locatable outside of a patient's body for communication
with the sensor (50). The signal reading and charging device (140) comprises a casing (145) and a circuit (150) within the casing.
The circuit includes a logic control unit (154) and a processing unit (170). The logic
control unit (154) sends a powering signal to the sensor (50) for remotely powering the sensor. The
logic control unit (154) also receives the transmitted signal from the sensor wherein the processing
unit operatively connected to the control unit converts the transmitted signal by the sensor into
a measured parameter.

Abstract: A process for setting an angioplasty stent (S) on a
corresponding insertion element (C), in which said
angioplasty stent is subjected to an action of radial
contraction, envisages that the stent (S) will be
subjected to the action of radial contraction before
being placed on said insertion element (C). Preferably,
the action of radial contraction is carried out in such
a way as to bestow on the stent (S) a given diametral
dimension (d2) at least marginally smaller than the
homologous diametral dimension of the insertion element
(C), which typically consists of a balloon catheter.
After the stent (S) has been set on the insertion
element (C), in the structure of the stent there remain
residual states of constraint which act in the
direction of securing the stent in the condition of
coupling to the insertion element (C).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for combining therapeutic pulsed or continuous-wave ultrasound with diagnostic pulsed ultrasound are described. In both a therapeutic mode and in a diagnostic mode, the ultrasound is administered from a single probe (128) to a patient (118) suffering from thrombosis. The ultrasound can have the same or different frequency ranges in the diagnostic and therapeutic modes. The pulsed or continuous-wave ultrasound in the therapeutic mode enhances a lysing effect of a thrombolytic agent (110). The pulsed ultrasound in the diagnostic mode allows monitoring of blood flow to locate a thrombus (122), to determine an optimal window to administer the therapeutic pulsed ultrasound, and to detect when recanalization has occured. If an operator attends the device, a graphical display (600) operates during the diagnostic mode to display an image representative of the blood flow.

Abstract: Techniques to generate a pseudo-random number (PN) sequence at a desired phase using "masking" to adjust the phase of the PN sequence in coarse increments (e.g., 64-PN chip increments) to account for a large phase adjustment. Slewing may then be used to adjust the PN phase in fine increments (e.g., 1/8 PN chip increments) to obtain the desired phase. Prior to each scan for the pilot from a particular base station, a PN mask corresponding to a phase closest to the start of a new search window is applied to a PN generator to obtain an initial phase for the PN sequence. From the initial phase obtained by the applied mask, the PN generator is then slewed to the start of the search window. The masking can be used to obtain a large phase adjustment in less time, which is likely to improve search performance.
