20140164410 | SYSTEM FOR TRANSFORM GENERATION - This specification describes technologies relating to generating transforms based on rule sets. In general, one aspect described in this specification can be embodied in methods that include receiving a rule set including execution cases, where at least one execution case in the rule set includes one or more trigger conditions and a specification of an output that is to be generated when the one or more trigger conditions are all satisfied. The methods may further include generating a control structure including a sequence of rows corresponding to one or more execution cases in the rule set. Each row may include a sequence of one or more trigger conditions and information specifying the output for a corresponding execution case. For at least one of the trigger conditions, when the trigger condition is failed, the control structure may direct processing to skip at least one row in the sequence of rows. | 06-12-2014 |

In one embodiment, MIMO decoding is performed on each of the extracted separate tones of a MIMO-OFDM signal to extract and demodulate frequency domain symbols of the first layer corresponding to one or more code blocks. For each code block of the first layer that passes an error check, corresponding portions of the second layer are decoded using SIMO decoding. | 07-04-2013 |

20140031858 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DELIVERING MULTIPLE EMBOLIZATION COILS - Systems and methods for delivering multiple embolization coils to a location within the body of a patient are disclosed. In one embodiment, a coil delivery system has coil deployment members coupled to embolization coils and is arranged for independent movement of the embolization coils. In some exemplary embodiments, the disclosure provides coil delivery systems in which the embolization coils are positioned within different lumens and/or on different straightening members. Methods and other embodiments are disclosed. | 01-30-2014 |
20140058359 | INTRODUCER SHEATH FOR PERFUSION REGULATION SYSTEM - A reperfusion system and method of perfusing a blood vessel using the reperfusion system are provided. A sheath has a sheath wall and a lumen that each extend to a distal end to define a distal opening. A distal portion of the sheath wall has at least one wall opening. A balloon catheter has a lumen that extends to the distal end to define a distal opening. The balloon catheter has an inflatable balloon attached to a distal portion. A conduit has a first end in fluid communication with the lumen of the sheath and a second end in fluid communication with the lumen of the balloon catheter. The reperfusion system is configured to allow blood to enter each of the distal opening and the at least one wall opening of the sheath, flow through the sheath, the conduit, and the balloon catheter, and exit through the distal opening of the balloon catheter. The sheath is introduced into body tissue. The balloon catheter is advanced through the sheath to the blood vessel. The balloon is inflated. Blood is allowed to enter each of the distal opening and the at least one wall opening of the sheath, flow through the sheath, the conduit, and the balloon catheter, and exit through the distal opening of the balloon catheter. | 02-27-2014 |
20140142589 | DELIVERY DEVICE FOR VASCULAR OCCLUDING DEVICE - A delivery device for delivering material into a catheter through a catheter port includes a cannula having a generally tubular shape and a distal end and a stability collet having a distal attachment portion configured to attach the stability collet to a catheter port. The stability collet has a longitudinal channel through which the cannula extends. The longitudinal channel is dimensioned to allow a longitudinal movement of the cannula in the longitudinal channel. The delivery device further includes an elastic member acting between the cannula and the stability collet. The elastic member biases the cannula distally relative to the stability collet. Thus, when the stability collet is attached to the catheter port, the cannula is urged toward the catheter port, thus reducing a risk of improper alignment between the cannula and the catheter port. | 05-22-2014 |

20140275289 | CONCENTRATE FOR FORMING WATER-GEL EMULSION MATRIX AND KIT INCLUDING SAME - A kit and method for using the kit to make a water-based consumer product containing oil-soluble materials. The kit includes an ampoule containing an anhydrous concentrate including a polymer dispersed with a binding agent containing a surfactant, and zero or more oil soluble ingredients. The polymer preparation preferably is between about 8% and about 50% by weight of the concentrate, and the polymer preparation is configured to be between preferably about 1% and about 5%, by weight, of the consumer product. The method may include the steps of opening the ampoule, depositing the contents of the ampoule into a container, adding a predetermined amount of water to the container, closing the container, and agitating the container for a predetermined amount of time. The ampoule preferably is airtight and opaque, preventing degradation of the active ingredients within the ampoule. | 09-18-2014 |
