| 20100016883 | DOUBLE GRASPER AND TRIGGER CONTROL MECHANISM - This invention comprises an instrument with a unique trigger mechanism for approximating any tissues that can physically reach each other during a performance of any laparoscopic procedure. The user friendly double grasper comprises an elongated cannula having visually coded jaws at one end which cooperate with an intermediate member. The visually coded jaws are connected to control means within the cannula which are coupled to tacile coded control triggers mounted to a longitudinal handle. Each trigger is spring loaded to passively close a particular jaw after manually opening the jaw. Both triggers may be operated individually or simultaneously with the same operating digit. The triggers include a dimple on one trigger and a bubble on the other trigger so that an operator may recognize which trigger corresponds to which jaw and thus control the jaws by feel. The jaws are also coded for visual recognition with different color or letter. | 01-21-2010 |

| 20090252042 | Low Power Multiple Channel Mixing Architecture For Detecting Wake-Up Signals and Related Falsing Protection Algorithm - A low power multiple channel receiver mixing architecture for detecting wake-up signals over multiple communication channles in sniff processing performed in an implantable medical device (IMD). The architecture includes a direct conversion real receiver configured to scan a selected center channel and a Weaver receiver configured in parallel to the direct conversion real receiver to simultaneously scan side channels, together simultaneously detecting whether a wake-up signal is being received over the center and side channels with minimal power consumption. The architecture further utilizes a falsing protection algorithm that reduces power consumption during sniff operations by inhibiting the sniffing of channels likely to provide a false indication of a wake-up signal based the presence of unwanted signals on those channels. The falsing protection algorithm restricts those channels from sniff processing likely to provide a false indication of a wake-up signal, such that sniff processing can aborted, prevented, limited or otherwise altered to conserve power consumption. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20120034896 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR UNSCHEDULED WIRELESS COMMUNICATION WITH A MEDICAL DEVICE - Unscheduled wireless communication with a medical device is achieved by operating a receiver of the medical device in a series of modes. Each mode provides an increasingly selective evaluation of received RF energy. The receiver, when operating in a first mode, is capable of detecting the presence of RF energy transmitted from a communicating device. The receiver, when operating in a second mode, consumes more energy than the first mode and analyzes the RF energy to determine whether it contains the appropriate type of modulation. When operating in a third mode, the receiver consumes more energy than the second mode, and operates the full receiver to begin communication with the communicating device. The receiver opens a communication session after the RF energy has passed the evaluation by the series of modes to receive an unscheduled communication. | 02-09-2012 |
