| 20110013911 | HIGH-SPEED OPTICAL TRANSPONDER SYSTEMS - The present disclosure provides high-speed wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transponders (e.g., 10 Gb/s, 40 Gb/s, 100 Gb/s, and beyond) that receive one or more optical signals and convert and/or remodulate the received optical signals onto a newly generated optical channel along with overhead processing/addition, forward error correction, and the like. In general, the transponders of the present invention include a client-side and a line-side, each with bi-directional optical transmission. The transponders provide an effective mechanism to support WDM networks that are transparent to the client-side. | 01-20-2011 |

| 20090041471 | REMODULATING CHANNEL SELECTORS FOR WDM OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS - The present invention provides a remodulating channel selector for a wavelength division multiplexed optical communication system. The remodulating selector receives a WDM input signal, selects a particular optical channel from the WDM signal and places the information from the selected signal onto a newly-generated optical output signal. The wavelength of the output optical signal can be the same as or different from one of the optical channels which comprises the WDM input signal. When used in a WDM optical communication system with remodulators at the transmission input, the remodulating selectors provide complete control over the interfaces with optical transmitters and receivers, permitting use with a broad range of optical equipment. | 02-12-2009 |

| 20090088599 | Method of accessing a bladder and associated apparatus therefor - A bladder access apparatus and method of provided access into a bladder through a abdominal wall therewith is provided. The apparatus has an annular body extending between opposite ends with a through passage extending between the ends. A tubular sheath is attached to one end of the body in coaxial alignment with the through passage. The sheath is expandable from a first diameter to an enlarged second diameter. The apparatus has an elongate stylet with a rod sized for receipt in the sheath. The rod has a length greater than the tubular sheath and a diameter substantially the same as the first diameter of the sheath. The apparatus includes a rigid, tubular body having an outer diameter corresponding substantially to the second diameter of the sheath and a rigid, cylindrical member sized for sliding receipt in the tubular body. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20090088786 | Method of Performing a Suprapubic Transurethral Cystostomy and Associated Procedures and Apparatus Therefor - A suprapubic transurethral cystotomy apparatus and method of forming a surgical opening therewith. The apparatus includes an elongate tubular body including a proximal portion and a distal portion inclined relative to one another. The distal portion extends along an axis to an end configured for receipt through a urethra. An elongate arm has a first end operably attached to the proximal portion of the tubular body and a second end providing an indicator establishing an axis aligned coaxially with the axis of the distal portion. A surgical opening is formed with a cutting member being extended along the axis of the indicator. | 04-02-2009 |
| 20100298857 | Apparatus and Method for Performing Cystotomy Procedures - A cystotomy apparatus includes a sound from which an advancement device having a cutting tip creates a surgical pathway from the bladder through abdominal tissue to the external abdomen along a predetermined path. The cutting tip is captured and removed from the advancement device in a capture cup located in the predetermined path by an alignment structure. The cutting tip is removed from the advancement device while within the capture cup, to allow a dilator, cannula or catheter to be drawn through the surgical pathway into the bladder. | 11-25-2010 |
| 20110243813 | DIAGNOSTIC CARD WITH MICRO-FLUIDIC CHANNELS AND METHOD OF CONSTRUCTION THEREOF - An in vitro diagnostic card and method of construction thereof is provided. The card includes an intermediate layer having opposite faces with at least one channel extending through the faces. A translucent first layer is fixed to one of the faces of the intermediate layer and a translucent second layer is fixed to the other of the faces of the intermediate layer opposite the translucent first layer. The channel in the intermediate layer is substantially sealed off by the first and second layers. Further, an opaque material that is absorbent to laser beam energy bonds the intermediate layer to the first and second layers. | 10-06-2011 |
| 20120109175 | Method of Performing a Suprapubic Transurethral Cystostomy - A suprapubic transurethral cystotomy apparatus and method of forming a surgical opening therewith. The apparatus includes an elongate tubular body including a proximal portion and a distal portion inclined relative to one another. The distal portion extends along an axis to an end configured for receipt through a urethra. An elongate arm has a first end operably attached to the proximal portion of the tubular body and a second end providing an indicator establishing an axis aligned coaxially with the axis of the distal portion. A surgical opening is formed with a cutting member being extended along the axis of the indicator. | 05-03-2012 |

| 20130024931 | DOWNLOADABLE COMMUNICATION SOFTWARE TOOL FOR FLASH MEMORY DEVICE - A flash memory device is provided that includes an operating system. The operating system has security features such as password protection and/or encryption. Further, the host computer to which the flash memory device is removably attached does not retain any electronic trail of the attachment, usage, communication, or other activity by the flash memory device. The operating system operates on the host computer without the host computer being able to detect and store information related to the operation of the flash memory device. An email service is also provided including timed deletion of emails between registered users. A browser is provided that has auto-populating multi-search, as well as tabbing capabilities. Cloud capabilities are provided, including a desktop run from the cloud as well as a browser run from the cloud. A clickless user interface is provided. | 01-24-2013 |
