20090310494 | REAL-TIME NETWORK MEASUREMENT - A method of operation within a device coupled to a network. A first set of data is received from a first data path of the network. A first set of measurement information is identified from the first set of data, and a quality of the first data path is determined based on the first set of measurement information. A second set of data is then selectively transmitted via either the first data path or a second data path of the network, based on the quality of the first data path. | 12-17-2009 |
20090310508 | REAL-TIME NETWORK MEASUREMENT - A method of operation within a device coupled to a network. A first set of data is received from the network. A first set of measurement information, for use in determining a quality of the network, is then identified from the first set of data. A second set of measurement information is generated based on the first set of measurement information. The second set of measurement information and a second set of data are transmitted via the network, concurrently. | 12-17-2009 |
20100265833 | NETWORK BANDWIDTH DETERMINATION - A method for determining a bandwidth of a network system. A first device in the network transmits a plurality of test data during a first interval of time. A second device in the network receives an amount of the transmitted test data, wherein the amount of the test data received by the second device is less than a total amount of the test data transmitted by the first device during the first interval of time. The bandwidth of the network is then determined based on the amount of the test data that is received by the second device. | 10-21-2010 |
20120127866 | REAL-TIME NETWORK MEASUREMENT - A method of operation within a device coupled to a network. A first set of data is received from a first data path of the network. A first set of measurement information is identified from the first set of data, and a quality of the first data path is determined based on the first set of measurement information. A second set of data is then selectively transmitted via either the first data path or a second data path of the network, based on the quality of the first data path. | 05-24-2012 |

20140207050 | USE OF LOCAL ANESTHESIA AND ELECTRICAL STIMULATION IN PERIPHERAL WOUND TREATMENT - A wound therapy method that results in improved wound healing for conditions including diabetic foot ulcers, pressure ulcers, and arterial and venous ulcers is described. The wound therapy method uses local anesthetic injections in an area surrounding the wound combined with electrical stimulation causing local and deep muscle contraction in the same area. The method leads to increased vasodilation, increased tissue oxygen levels at the target site, and increased blood flow to the target site. This causes local angiogenesis and tissue perfusion that increases wound healing rates and decreases future wound occurrences. | 07-24-2014 |
