    Abstract: The present invention features an intelligent sprinkler irrigation system for delivering fluid to an arbitrarily-shaped area in a precise manner. In general, the system comprises (a) a fluid source comprising a pressurized fluid; (b) at least one programmable sprinkler head fluidly connected to the fluid source; and (c) a computer system configured to control the sprinkler head to precisely deliver fluid according to a pre-determined sprinkler function. The computer system comprises a teach mode, wherein a plurality of drive parameters are learned and recorded. These drive parameters function to dictate the specific vector positioning of the sprinkler head during execution of the sprinkler component. The teach mode is further configured to learn and record a plurality of flow parameters, which function to control the fluid delivery component of the sprinkler head (e.g., the valve or nozzle), and more particularly, the manner in which the fluid is delivered or emitted from this component.

    Abstract: A method of advancing a guidewire having an imaging device disposed thereon within a cavity of a body includes placing a guidewire into a cavity of a body, said guidewire having an image sensor disposed about a guide member on a distal end of the guidewire and a plurality of power lines operatively coupled to the guide member and the image sensor. At least two power lines of the plurality of power lines are disposed on opposing sides of the guide member and extend from the distal end of the guidewire to a proximal end of the guidewire. As the guidewire is advanced through the body cavity, the distal end of the guidewire is positioned by pulling one of the at least two power lines while maintaining the position of the other of the at least two power lines.
