    摘要: Catheter devices and methods are provided for enhancing fluid flow through a vascular site occupied by a calcified lesion. The catheter devices of the subject invention at least include, at their distal end, a proton generating means, and in many embodiments also include a flushing means. In using the subject devices, the distal end of the catheter is placed proximal to the vascular occlusion and protons are generated, e.g., via proton generation from water, in a manner sufficient to reduce the pH of the vascular site in the region proximal to the occlusion. The subphysiologic pH is maintained for a period of time sufficient for fluid flow through the vascular site to be enhanced. Also provided are kits comprising the subject catheter devices for use in the subject methods.

    摘要: Systems and methods are disclosed which relate to improving synchronization of clocks between a sender and a receiver communicating via an asynchronous serial interface. In a ring topology, a master device is connected to a plurality of slaves communicating using a bi-frequency encoded bit stream. A host device communicates with the master device using a non-return-to-zero data encoding. Each slave receives data from the master and sends it to the next slave in the ring unaltered unless the master indicates a requirement for a particular data, and transmits placeholder bits with a value of 0 around the ring. A particular slave can “fill-in” the placeholder bits with the information to be sent back to the master by inverting the placeholder bit. Clock synchronization between a receiving device and a transmitting device is improved using a fractional rate multiplier to generate a data sampling clock from a system clock. By adjusting the denominator, the sampling clock can be tuned to match the baud rate of the asynchronous serial data stream received from the transmitting device. Embodiments described include power management, data acquisition (DAQ), etc.

    摘要: This relates to methods and devices for treating reversible chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and more particularly, relates to a device for exchanging energy with airway tissue such as that found in the airway of human lungs. The exchange of energy with this airway tissue in the airways reduces the ability of the air ways to constrict and/or reduces the resistance within the airway to the flow of air through the airway. This also relates to a method for decreasing responsiveness or decreasing resistance to airflow of airways involves the transfer of energy to or from the airway walls to prevent or reduce airway constriction and other symptoms of lung diseases. The treatment reduces the ability of the airway to contract during an acute narrowing of the airways, reduces mucus plugging of the airways, and/or increases the airway diameter. The methods according to the present invention provide a longer duration and/or more effective treatment for lung diseases than currently used drug treatments, and obviate patient compliance issues. This also includes additional steps that reduce the ability of the lung to produce at least one of the symptoms of reversible obstructive pulmonary disease and to reduce the resistance to the flow of air through a lung.

    摘要: An apparatus and method of canceling a flight plan of an aircraft to facilitate release of an IFR airspace to other aircraft and for communicating the location of a downed aircraft during emergencies. A controller receives and analyzes positioning signals transmitted from know locations to determine the location of the aircraft periodically. Upon arrival of the aircraft at its destination, the controller calls the air traffic controllers to cancel the flight plan. In the event of an emergency, the controller calls the air traffic control center to report the emergency and the location of the aircraft with high accuracy to improve search and rescue operations.
