20120022405METHOD OF SENSING FORCES ON A WORKING INSTRUMENT - A method for estimating the force on a distal end of a working catheter includes positioning a portion of a robotically controlled guide catheter and working catheter into a body lumen wherein a distal end of the working catheter projects distally from a distal end of the guide catheter. The working catheter and guide catheter are dithered with respect to one another using a dithering device operatively connected to a proximal portion of the working catheter. The coupling may occur directly to the working catheter or via a seal such as a Touhy seal. The force experienced by the working catheter at a proximal region is measured through at least one dithering cycle. The force at the distal end of the working catheter is then estimated based on the measured force at the proximal region. The estimated force may be displayed to a physician on, for example, a monitor.01-26-2012

20080243063ROBOTIC INSTRUMENT SYSTEMS CONTROLLED USING KINEMATICS AND MECHANICS MODELS - Robotic instrument systems and control implementations are disclosed. In one such system, an elongate guide instrument such as a guide catheter includes tension or deflection element such as a stainless steel wire or pull wire. An actuator, such as a servo motor, is operably coupled to the controller. The controller is configured to control actuation of the servo motor based on execution of a control model including a mechanics model that accounts for a force on the guide instrument. The control model may also utilize both kinematics and mechanics models. The controller is configured to control actuation of the actuator based the control model that includes the mechanics model such that the elongate guide instrument bends when the actuator moves the deflection member.10-02-2008

20100105984System and Method for Guiding a Medical Instrument with Magnetic Force Control - A magnetic force control system for guiding a medical instrument within a body includes: a controlled magnet coupled to the medical instrument; a controller magnet that exerts a magnetic force on the controlled magnet; a magnetically permeable shield, placed between the controlled magnet and the controller magnet, that selectively modulates the magnetic force by rerouting magnetic field lines; and a control system. A method for guiding a medical instrument within a body with magnetic force control includes: providing a controlled magnet coupled to the medical instrument, inserting the controlled magnet and medical instrument into the body, providing a controller magnet outside the body, placing a magnetically permeable shield between the controlled magnet and the controller magnet, applying magnetic force, and selectively modulating the magnetic force with the shield to vary at least one of amplitude and orientation of the magnetic force, thereby guiding the controlled magnet within the body.04-29-2010
20100149183IMAGE MOSAICING SYSTEMS AND METHODS - Mosaicing methods and devices are implementing in a variety of manners. One such method is implemented for generation of a continuous image representation of an area from multiple images consecutively received from an image sensor. A location of a currently received image is indicated relative to the image sensor. A position of a currently received image relative to a set of previously received images is indicated with reference to the indicated location. The currently received image is compared to the set of previously received images as a function of the indicated position. Responsive to the comparison, adjustment information is indicated relative to the indicated position. The currently received image is merged with the set of previously received images to generate data representing a new set of images.06-17-2010

20100185725IP Link Establishment Across A Data Network - A method of establishing an IP link between first and second applications running at respective first and second nodes. The first and second applications are arranged to initiate link establishment over a transport layer by issuing a call to their respective operating system socket Application Programming Interfaces. The method comprises 1) at said first node, intercepting a socket call generated by said first application and redirecting the socket call to a SIP-based application resident at said first node, and 2) initiating an IP session with said second node using the SIP protocol.07-22-2010
20100318577OPERATION OF P2P TELECOMMUNICATIONS NETWORKS - A method of operating a P2PSIP network is described. A resource record is created for a user in the network. A reachability script, which expresses a reachability profile of the user's preferences, is inserted into the resource record. The resource record is uploaded into the network. When an attempt is made to initiate a session with a user, the reachability script is executed so that the correct node may be contacted.12-16-2010
20110004766IP ADDRESS DELEGATION - A method of verifying a request made in respect of an IPv6 address comprising a network routing prefix and a cryptographically generated Interface Identifier. The request includes a delegation certificate containing a public key of the host, one or more further parameters or a formula or formulae for generating one or more further parameters, a specification of a range or set of IPv6 network routing prefixes, an identity of a delegated host, and a digital signature taken over at least the identity and the specification of a range or set of IPv6 network routing prefixes using a private key associated with the public key. The method verifies that the network routing prefix of said IPv6 address is contained within the specification, verifying that the public key and the further parameter(s) can be used to generate the cryptographically generated Interface Identifier, and verifying said signature using the public key.01-06-2011
20110296041SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR COMMUNICATION SESSION CORRELATION - An arrangement and method in a communication system such as an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) radio receiver for reducing the impact of interference from an intermittent interfering signal transmitted by an interfering system which may be co-located with the OFDM system or may be remotely located. Each OFDM symbol in a received OFDM signal includes a guard interval (GI), a middle portion, and a last portion identical to the GI. The arrangement determines which portion of each OFDM symbol is contemporaneous with the interfering signal and time-shifts a fast Fourier transform (FFT) window in the OFDM receiver to minimize or eliminate FFT processing of samples of the OFDM symbol that are contemporaneous with the interfering signal, thereby minimizing the impact of the interfering signal.12-01-2011

20110000122DEVICE FOR PREVENTING DUST AND MOISTURE FROM ENTERING A FIREARM BARREL - A muzzle cover for a firearm comprising a soft, flexible and resilient member that slides over and frictionally engages the front end of the muzzle. The cover comprises a substantially cylindrical sheath that is open at a first end to receive the front end of the muzzle therein and which frictionally engages the external surface of the muzzle. A conical tip is integrally formed with the sheath and extends outwardly from the sheath and over the opening to the barrel. The conical tip may extend forwardly away from the front of the sheath or may be depressed inwardly into the bore of the sheath upon application of gentle pressure from a fingertip. The muzzle cover completely disengages from the muzzle when a projectile is fired from the weapon.01-06-2011
