20090192360 | ATRAUMATIC SURGICAL RETRACTION AND HEAD-CLAMPING DEVICE - The present invention is directed to a device for minimizing or preventing damages due to ischemia that can occur within supported or retracted dermal and/or subdermal living tissue, most particularly during surgical procedures, by one or a combination of several means including cyclically applying and reducing supporting or retracting pressure at each of at least two tissue sections into which the supported or retracted tissue is subdivided, bathing these tissue sections with gases and/or liquids such as oxygen and oxygenated blood, presenting low-pressure regions or partial vacuum to areas within these tissue-sections to stimulate bleeding to encourage blood perfusion, controlling the temperature of these tissue sections to forestall ischemic damage, and mechanically moving at least a portion of these tissue sections to stimulate blood perfusion with, for example, a vibrating mechanism. | 07-30-2009 |
20130237790 | Method and devices for its employ for reducing disease-transfer risks - The present invention is a method and apparatus, in several embodiments, for providing protection in workplaces in which workers can be exposed to diseases and other contaminations from skin abrasions or punctures by contaminated objects. In its primary application it provides such protection at skin surfaces of healthcare patients into which needle electrodes have been inserted and, under certain conditions, can emerge. This bio-hazard occurs most often during patient-positioning when patients are unconscious due to anesthesia or other reasons. Protection is supplied in the first embodiment by a puncture-resistant head-covering; in the second by a pad that covers and secures needle electrodes, and; in a third as a tissue-penetrating, less hazardous stick-on electrode. The latter two embodiments have pressure-sensitive-adhesive coatings for adhesion to a patient's skin. | 09-12-2013 |

20110066912 | METHOD AND SYSTEM TO INCREASE THE THROUGHPUT OF A HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST (HARQ) PROTOCOL - A method and system to increase the throughput of a HARQ protocol in a wireless network. When a station receives a downlink HARQ sub-burst that has an incorrect cyclic redundancy check, it determines if there is an overflow event of its buffer. If so, the station reduces the size of the HARQ sub-burst to be stored in the buffer and stores the resized HARQ sub-burst in the buffer. When the station transmits an uplink HARQ sub-burst, the station can reduce the size of the transmitted HARQ sub-burst if it exceeds the size of the buffer. The amount of buffer required in the station can also be reduced by representing each log likelihood ratio (LLR) value of each of one or more bits of each symbol of a HARQ burst with a number of quantization bits based on a metric sensitivity to noise of each bit of each symbol. | 03-17-2011 |
20110075630 | ENABLING INTER FREQUENCY ASSIGNMENT SCANNING WHILE REMAINING AT ONE FREQUENCY - Techniques for enabling inter frequency assignment scanning while remaining at one frequency are described.

The memory may include data and instructions to operate the processor to communicate with a first fixed device at a first frequency during a first communication session, scan for one or more first preambles at the first frequency from a second fixed device and scan for one or more second preambles at the first frequency from a third fixed device. In an embodiment, the second fixed device may operate at a second frequency and the third fixed device may operate at a third frequency. The apparatus may include a processor operative to perform a handover based on the one or more first preambles and the one or more second preambles for a second communication session. | 03-31-2011 |
20120066562 | INCREASING HYBRID AUTOMATIC REPEAT REQUEST (HARQ) THROUGHPUT - In some embodiments, the invention involves increasing hybrid automatic repeat request (HARQ) throughput. In one embodiment, throughput may be increased by clearing the retransmission buffer at least one frame in advance, based on status received from the downlink device before a full acknowledgement. Another embodiment partitions HARQ bursts into two groups. A first group is for packet data units (PDUs) that are anticipated to be in error and a second group is for PDUs anticipated to be received correctly. Only PDUs that are anticipated to be in error, based on forward error correction (FEC) blocks, are to be saved in the retransmission buffer. Other embodiments are described and claimed. | 03-15-2012 |

20110041694 | SELF-HEATED DENSE CERAMIC TUBES FOR SEPARATING GASES - A device for at least one self-heated and dense ceramic tube for gas separation. The device includes at least one dense ceramic tube in an environment accessible to a mixture of gases, the at least one tube acting as a diffusion membrane for separating at least one gas from the mixture of gases. Two electrical contacts are provided which allow connecting a power supply to the ceramic tube and driving an electric current through the ceramic tube. The contacts can be in the farm of short coils wrapped around the ceramic tube at difference places. When a voltage is applied to the contacts, an electrical current flows from one contact to the other through the ceramic tube. The current in the ceramic tube heats the tube. Thus, the tubes heat themselves. The hot tube allows separating a gas from the mixture of gases. The driving force for the diffusion is achieved by a pressure difference generated by pumping at the side of the separated gas and pressing at the side of the mixture of gases. | 02-24-2011 |
