| 20080197714 | PULSE CIRCUIT - In an embodiment of the invention there is provided a pulse circuit including two transmission lines or other capacitive energy storage circuits resonantly charged by inductors and diodes that are connected to a DC power source. The pulse circuit includes a pulse transformer that may be connected in series with the transmission lines or artificial lines with a turns ratio chosen to match the load impedance to primary circuit impedance or to generate the optimum pulsed voltage source. Multiple switches can be employed to increase the repetition frequency of the pulses. For transmission lines and L-C artificial lines, the pulse alternates in polarity; for simple capacitive energy storage, the pulses are unipolar. | 08-21-2008 |

| 20110182170 | Digital Modulation System Using Modified Orthogonal Codes To Reduce Autocorrelation - A digital modulation system provides enhanced multipath performance by using modified orthogonal codes with reduced autocorrelation sidelobes while maintaining the cross-correlation properties of the modified codes. For example, the modified orthogonal codes can reduce the autocorrelation level so as not to exceed one-half the length of the modified orthogonal code. In certain embodiments, an M-ary orthogonal keying (MOK) system is used which modifies orthogonal Walsh codes using a complementary code to improve the auto-correlation properties of the Walsh codes, thereby enhancing the multipath performance of the MOK system while maintaining the orthogonality and low cross-correlation characteristics of the Walsh codes. | 07-28-2011 |

| 20090270741 | Coronary Venous System Pressure Sensing - Disclose herein is a method of measuring pressures in a coronary sinus. In one embodiment, the method includes: introducing a distal portion of a lead or tool into the coronary sinus, wherein the distal portion includes first and second pressure sensors and at least one selectably expandable member; expanding the at least one expandable member such that the first and second sensors are isolated from each other within the coronary sinus; and taking pressure measurements with the first and second sensors when isolated from each other. | 10-29-2009 |
| 20090276020 | TOOLS FOR DELIVERING IMPLANTABLE MEDICAL LEADS AND METHODS OF USING AND MANUFACTURING SUCH TOOLS - Disclosed herein is a tool for implanting a medical lead. In one embodiment, the tool includes a body, an electrode, and a conductor. The body includes a distal end and a proximal end. The electrode is supported by the body. The conductor is in electrical contact with the electrode and extends along the body from the electrode to the proximal end. The electrode and conductor form an electrically conductive path that extends from a surface of the electrode to a proximal most point of the conductor on the body. The electrical resistance of the electrically conductive path is at least approximately 100 Ohms. | 11-05-2009 |
| 20100137878 | IMPLANT TOOL FOR ACTIVE FIXATION LEAD - An implant tool for use with an endocardial or other implantable lead having an extendable/retractable active fixation tip includes a housing, a shaft rotatably supported by the housing, and a shaft rotation mechanism for rotating the shaft through a predetermined angular travel. The shaft includes a lead attachment portion for selectively coupling a lead to the shaft such that the lead is rotatable with the shaft. The implant tool may include a control tab slidably supported by the housing, wherein longitudinal movement of the control tab actuates the shaft rotation mechanism. The shaft rotation mechanism may include a gear train, an electric motor, a double acting spring mechanism, or a retractable tape wound around the shaft. The gear train includes an input member coupled to the control tab and an output gear coupled to the shaft. The input member meshes with an input gear supported by the housing. | 06-03-2010 |
| 20100318019 | ELECTROPHYSIOLOGY DEVICES EMPLOYING ELECTRICALLY CONDUCTIVE POLYMER CONDUCTORS AND METHODS OF MANUFACTURING SUCH DEVICES - A medical tubular body that may be used in an implantable medical lead, a catheter, a sheath and introducer is disclosed herein. The medical tubular body may include a tubular layer formed of an electrically insulating polymer and an electrically conductive polymer strip imbedded in and longitudinally extending through the insulating polymer. | 12-16-2010 |

| 20100030114 | Deflectable Variable Radius Catheters - The invention provides a deflectable catheter capable of forming many variable radius spiral forms from a single, flexible, distal end section. In one aspect, the catheter employs a variable radius control wire to extend or deform a pre-formed loop structure into a three dimensional spiral-like form or geometry. The ability of a single catheter to create a multitude of shapes and sizes allows users to access to a number of anatomical areas without changing the catheter during a procedure or treatment. In another aspect, the invention encompasses methods of producing deflectable variable radius catheters, where two or more regions of the catheter having common control wires are fused or formed onto one another. | 02-04-2010 |

| 20090024159 | Tourniquet with wooden windlace - A tourniquet system design for providing self-use in emergencies and ma occurrences. The user can simple and quickly slip the tourniquet into place, fix it to adjust tightly against the affected limb. The user can then twist the handle to apply pressure and stop potentially life threatening loss of blood. | 01-22-2009 |
| 20110006050 | Thermally Heated Collapsible Sun shade - The present invention is a heated sun shield assembly that has suction cups which attach the shield to the windshield of an automobile. The shade has a flexible opaque heated sheet that is attached to a flexible frame. The frame is designed and can be folded and twisted into a plurality of concentric loops that can be placed in a pouch for storage. The opaque sheet has affixed to one surface, a thermal electric foil or conductive ink grid, which connects to 12-volt supply wires, a 12-volt cigarette lighter adapter and a timer delay mechanism. Therefore it is the object of the present invention to provide a collapsible or roll up heated sun shield assembly that can shade the interior of an automobile as well as defrost the windshield. | 01-13-2011 |

| 20090119756 | Credential Verification using Credential Repository - A credential repository securely stores user credentials. The credential repository may be accessed by multiple entities. Instead of having a user carry his credentials with him (e.g., on a credit card or driver's license, which can be lost or stolen), the user's credentials are retrieved from the credential repository for use in a transaction. A merchant or other entity requesting the transaction receives these retrieved credentials and uses them to verify the identity of the user who seeks to participate in the transaction. A time-to-live value may be associated with the retrieved credentials. Successful verification of the user's identity enables private or personal data of the user to be released to the merchant or other entity. Optionally, the user explicitly authorizes the release of the data. | 05-07-2009 |

| 20080274792 | METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR FACILITATING GAMING SESSIONS VIA A SESSION TICKET - In accordance with one or more embodiments, a session comprising a plurality of game plays of a wagering game may be initiated via a session ticket. A session ticket may comprise, for example, a paper substrate, a plastic card or information stored electronically (e.g., in a wireless handheld device). In one embodiment, a casino property may manage a promotion by providing session tickets to players free of charge (e.g., to an audience of a show, to encourage the audience to gamble on the casino floor at the end of the show). In one embodiment, a session ticket may be sold as part of a Value Package that includes one or more gambling items (e.g., a session ticket for a session) and one or more non-gambling items (e.g., a voucher to a casino restaurant or spa and a reservation for a hotel room). | 11-06-2008 |
