| 20100219864 | Dual Mode, Single Ended to Fully Differential Converter Structure - A dual mode, single ended to fully differential converter structure is incorporated into a fully differential sample and hold structure which can be coupled with an ADC as a front end for mixed mode applications. The structure incorporates additional switches which allow negative and positive charges to be sampled on both negative and positive sides of the structure. By inverting the sampled charge on one side, single ended to fully differential conversion is obtained. The structure can be implemented in a compact, generic block which performs single ended to fully differential conversions as well as sample and hold functions, without compromising speed and accuracy in either mode. | 09-02-2010 |

| 20080220081 | Water-Dispersible Xanthan Gum Containing Composition - One aspect of the present invention relates to a readily water-dispersible particulate composition comprising by weight of dry matter at least 10% of xanthan gum and not more than 60% of starch, said composition being characterised in that the xanthan gum present in the composition can be dispersed completely within 2 minutes in distilled water of 25° C. at a concentration of 0.7% based on the dry weight of xanthan. The particulate xanthan gum compositions of the present invention exhibit unique viscosity enhancing properties that are dependent on the electrolyte levels of the aqueous environment in which they are applied. The favourable properties of the xanthan compositions according to the invention can be realised without resorting to chemical modification of the xanthan gum. The xanthan compositions according to the present invention can be applied advantageously in e.g. food products and oil drilling fluids. | 09-11-2008 |

| 20110147251 | PROSTHETIC HEART VALVE PACKAGING AND DEPLOYMENT SYSTEM - Packaging for prosthetic heart valves including an assembly for securely retaining a heart valve within a jar and facilitating retrieval therefrom. The assembly includes a packaging sleeve that fits closely within the jar and has a clip structure for securing a valve holder. Contrary to previous designs, in one embodiment the valve holder is directed downward into the jar, and the valve is retained with an inflow end upward. The valve may have flexible leaflets, and a leaflet parting member on the end of the shaft extends through the leaflets and couples with the valve holder. The assembly of the packaging sleeve, valve, and holder can then be removed from the jar and a valve delivery tube connected with the holder, or to the leaflet parting member. The packaging sleeve may be bifurcated into two halves connected at a living hinge to facilitate removal from around the valve/holder subassembly. The packaging system facilitates attachment of the valve delivery tube for use in a quick-connect valve implant procedure. | 06-23-2011 |

| 20120065729 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR RAPIDLY DEPLOYING SURGICAL HEART VALVES - A quick-connect heart valve prosthesis that can be quickly and easily implanted during a surgical procedure is provided. The heart valve includes a substantially non-expandable, non-compressible prosthetic valve and a plastically-expandable frame, thereby enabling attachment to the annulus without sutures. A small number of guide sutures may be provided for aortic valve orientation. The prosthetic valve may be a commercially available valve with a sewing ring with the frame attached thereto. The frame may expand from a conical deployment shape to a conical expanded shape, and may include web-like struts connected between axially-extending posts. A system and method for deployment includes an integrated handle shaft and balloon catheter. A valve holder is stored with the heart valve and the handle shaft easily attaches thereto to improve valve preparation steps. | 03-15-2012 |

| 20090285198 | APPARATUS AND METHODS FOR PROVIDING MEDIA PACKET FLOW BETWEEN TWO USERS OPERATING BEHIND A GATEWAY DEVICE - A method for supporting communication between a source internet protocol phone and a destination internet protocol phone is provided. The source internet protocol phone communicates via a Network Address Translator (“NAT”) gateway. The method includes receiving a packet from the source phone at the NAT. The packet is for communication with the destination phone. The method further includes querying whether the destination phone is located in the subnetwork serviced by the NAT gateway. If the destination phone is not located in the subnetwork serviced by the NAT gateway, then the method includes sending the packet upstream to the destination phone via the Internet. If the destination phone is located in the subnetwork serviced by the NAT gateway, then the method includes directing the packet to the destination phone. | 11-19-2009 |
