20130039178 | SCHEDULING UNDER CONGESTION WITH TRAFFIC LOAD-BASED SCALING - Apparatus and techniques for scheduling packets to reduce congestion in a packet data network are described. In one embodiment of the invention, packets are received through each of a plurality of channels and are stored in a respective queue for each channel. The status of each queue is monitored as empty or not empty. When an empty queue becomes not empty, then bandwidth allocation value is added for the respective channel to a port load value. When a not empty queue becomes empty, then the bandwidth allocation for the respective channel is subtracted from the port load value. The traffic rate through the port is then scaled based upon the port load value. | 02-14-2013 |

20110098584 | IMPLANT TRANSMITTER - A monitoring system is provided that enables the monitoring of a heart in a living organism by continuously measuring both pressure and volume in a chamber of the heart, preferably the left ventricle (LV). The pressure and volume measurements are acquired using a single sensing tip and are communicated to a transmitting device to be wirelessly transmitted to a receiving device, wherein they are used to monitor the heart. The system may also incorporate a temperature measurement that can be transmitted with the volume and pressure measurement to provide further data for monitoring. The system may also extract an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal from the volume measurement. This allows the monitoring of up to four signals that can be used to determine the beat by beat state of cardiac output and any changes caused by disease or therapy. In addition to a compact design, the system may also incorporate an energy saving timing scheme that reduces the power required per acquisition cycle and thus increases the operational lifetime of the transmitting device. | 04-28-2011 |
