    摘要: A method and apparatus for power detection in a multi-mode communication device configured for operation in different modes or frequency bands. A detector monitors the power level of an amplified outgoing signal. The detector may be configured with a switch and two or more samplers. Responsive to the mode of operation, the detector adopts an optimal configuration to generate a power level feedback signal, which is provided to a digital signal processor or controller. Comparison of the power level feedback signal to a target value may occur to generate an amplifier control signal. The amplifier control signal controls the gain, applied by an amplifier, to the outgoing signal. During operation, the system monitors for a change in the mode of operation and upon responsive to a change, generates a switch control signal to reconfigure the detector configuration to match the new mode of operation.

    摘要: Medical instruments and methods of using the instruments are described. In some embodiments, a medical instrument includes a housing, a stylet having a portion in the housing, and a cannula having a portion in the housing. The stylet has a portion in the housing and is movable between a first extended position and a first retracted position. The stylet is configured to rotate when moved from the first retracted position to the first extended position. The cannula coaxially receives the stylet and is movable between a second extended position and a second retracted position.

    摘要: An endoluminal device including a prosthesis and at least one indicator member affixed to the prosthesis that can be remotely monitored to indicate a change in pressure or morphology of the prosthesis. The indicator member may be an optical fiber, a strain gauge, or a first material having a first magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) susceptibility value that contrasts with a second MRI susceptibility value of a second material that comprises one or more remaining members of the prosthesis. A prosthesis monitoring system includes an endoluminal device as well as a subcutaneous electronics package and external electronics. Methods of detecting endoleaks or changes in morphology involve implanting an endoluminal device with the indicator and detecting information from the indicator.

    摘要: A hermetically sealed acoustic mechanism for an implantable hearing aid system having a signal processing unit having at least one electromechanical transducer coupled to the auditory system of a human. The transducer having an outer casing and at least one moving member extending outside the casing. The invention comprising a hermetically sealed bellows member having two ends and a generally cylindrical side wall. One end of the bellows member being hermetically affixed to the transducer casing and the other end of the bellows member being hermetically affixed to the moving member at a point outside the transducer casing. The side wall having a plurality of corrugations formed therein to allow the moving member to vibrate independently from the transducer casing while providing a hermetic seal protecting the interior of the transducer.

    摘要: An apparatus and method of securing fractured bones in place without the use of wires is disclosed. An absorbable bone pin is inserted in place by a cannulated applicator which is used to help drill a hole for the bone pin and accurately measure its depth. The applicator has a scaled recess in the handle which is used to measure the progress (depth) of the wire-type drill as it forms the hole. The drill has a marking or similar means on it for registration with the applicator scale. The bone pin is selected or cut to an appropriate length based on the depth of the hole and inserted in place by a push rod through the applicator guide tube. The applicator can have one or two guide tubes, and the tubes can be parallel or at angles to one another, depending on the usage desired. With a two-tube applicator, it is possible to better maintain the bone's pieces in place under compression until a bone pin is installed.
