摘要:
Disclosed is a communication server that includes a message transfer unit that transfers messages sent between a first user communicating under a first communication system and a second user communicating under a second communication system. For example, the communication systems could each comprise a plurality of mobile wireless transceivers and a plurality of land-based transceivers that are used by emergency-response organizations. These communication systems may be incapable of communicating directly with each other. The communication server also includes a translator connected to the message transfer unit. The translator translates messages sent from the first communication system into a format compatible with the second communication system and vice versa. The communication server also has a voice-over-Internet-protocol (VoIP) unit connected to the message transfer unit, so that messages are transmitted through the communication server in a VoIP format. Thus, messages are transferred between the communication systems using discrete Internet protocol addresses.

A system, method and computer program product for extracting information from a telecommunications invoice is provided. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present invention, a method may include: receiving a telecommunications invoice data stream in a first data format; analyzing the telecommunications invoice data stream to determine the first data format; modeling the telecommunications invoice data stream; and mapping the modeled telecommunications invoice data stream to a normalized data format. According to another exemplary embodiment of the present invention, the method may include: where the modeling of the telecommunications invoice data stream may further include any of: creating a model for the first data format; modeling the telecommunications invoice data stream according to the model; and/or modeling the telecommunications invoice data stream with an intelligent adapter.
摘要:
A combination of silicon processing technology advances and increased understanding of the mechanisms underlying phosphene generation in human retinas by surface electrical stimulation has now made it possible to conceive of a chronically implantable retinal prosthesis for the blind which will restore some useful vision to patients over at least several degrees of their former field of view. These thin, strong, and flexible epiretinal devices are constructed of or encapsulated in known biocompatible materials which will have a long working life in the eye's saline environment. The function of the implants is to electrically stimulate the ganglion cell layer at the surface of the retina using controlled current sources. Due to the exceptionally low mass of the implant and its flexible, nearly planar form, patient discomfort and fluid drag caused by the implant minimized. These physical atttributes also substantially reduce the potential of harm to the most delicate structure of the eye, the retina, and therefore enhance the long term safety and biocompatibility of the device. Since no micro-cables are required to be attached to the device, and its overall form and edges are rounded, the device is not expected to stress the retina during chronic implantation. A provision is also made for nutrients to reach the retinal cells underneath the device to assure their long-term health.

Circuitry for and method of power efficient operation of, and energy recovery from, tissue-stimulating electrodes having high charge capacities. Post-stimulation energy is recovered from the electrodes through a variety of techniques into circuit elements such as other electrodes, an intermediate distribution system, a power supply or any other elements, through the use of sequential switching. Energy is also recoverable from the intermediate distribution system, which preferably is comprised of one or more storage capacitors operating a different voltages. Efficient power transfer among circuit elements is effected by transferring energy while limiting element-element voltage differences and/or voltage differences between the elements and the capacitances of the electrodes.

This invention relates to a quenching device for temperature control in catalytic processes. More particularly, the quenching device includes gas and liquid spargers for interbed temperature control in an interbed mixing zone in a catalytic reactor. The quenching device includes a first injector for injecting a first quenching fluid into an outer mixing zone and a second injector for injecting a second quenching fluid into an inner mixing zone. The quenching fluids include both gaseous and liquid quenching fluids.
摘要:
Neural prosthesis for implantation within an eye. The prosthesis includes a foldable substrate and at least one electronic component supported by the substrate. At least one microchannel is disposed within the substrate. Upon inflation, the foldable substrate will unfold to provide for close contact of the electronic component with neural tissue, thus facilitating surgical implantation through a narrow incision, yet allowing the unfolded device to cover a sufficiently large portion of the patient's retina to provide useful vision.
