摘要:
The cannula of the present invention is useful for standard gravity drainage or vacuum assisted/suction drainage. The cannula of the present invention has a flexible shaft composed of a tubular body and an expandable scaffolding. The expandable scaffolding has a contracted position, facilitating insertion into a vessel and an expanded condition configured to allow optimal drainage in a vessel. The cannula is inserted into a vessel and navigated into an operative position within the patient's venous system. Once the cannula is in the proper position, the scaffolding is expanded either through passive, active, mechanic, hydraulic, pneumatic, thermal or electrical actuation. The cannula of the present invention is capable of expanding a collapsed vein to its normal diameter and/or capable of supporting the vein when suction is applied to the cannula to help increase fluid flow through the cannula.

A system and method for calculating an engagement value by quantifying an amount that a user is acting without thinking considering brainwaves and a heart rate can be used to compare media based on an individual or a group of individuals. Events of the media can be contrasted and compared by the engagement value as well. Statistical measurements may be taken to improve media.

Example systems, methods and machine readable media are disclosed. An example system includes a synchronizer to time shift first response data gathered from a subject exposed to media a first amount to align the first response data with second response data simultaneously gathered from the subject to form aligned data. The first response data is associated with a first component of the media, and the second response data is associated with a second component of media. The example system also includes an analyzer to determine an effectiveness of the media based on the aligned data.

Embodiments are described that enable remote and interactive access, navigation, and analysis of reactions from viewers to a media instance. The reactions include physiological responses, survey results, verbatim feedback, event-based metadata, and derived statistics for indicators of success and failure from the viewers. The reactions are aggregated, and an interface enables remote access and navigation of the media instance, aggregated physiological responses synchronized with the media instance, survey results, and/or verbatim feedback related to the media instance. This enables users to interactively divide, dissect, parse, and analyze the reactions as they prefer. This automation provides an automated process enabling non-experts to understand complex physiological data, and to organize presentation of complex data according to their needs so as to present conclusions as appropriate to the media instance.

A hose control system is provided. A flow controller has an inlet, an outlet, a fluid flow path defined between the inlet and outlet, and an electrically actuated valve positioned to selectively open or close the fluid flow path. A hose reel device comprises a rotatable spool member onto which a hose can be wound. An electrically controllable motor is connected to rotate the spool member in wind and unwind directions. A hose has a proximal end connected to the spool member. The hose is in fluid communication with the outlet of the flow controller and is configured to be wound upon the spool member. Electronic components are in communication with the valve and the motor. A wireless remote control is configured to transmit wireless command signals to the electronic components for controlling the valve and the motor. The remote control is mounted near a distal end of the hose.

The present invention provides a deflectable catheter-based system for assisting in the delivery of therapeutic agents, cellular materials and the like to one or more sites in a target body tissue. The system provides for one or more injections to a predetermined needle insertion depth with a single core needle that can be advanced and retracted from the tip of the catheter. The catheter assembly includes a handle subassembly having a mechanism for setting and limiting the depth of insertion of the needle, a slide for moving the injection needle between retracted and extended positions, a return spring for biasing the needle to the retracted position, and a modified pulley mechanism for compensating for catheter shaft compression when the catheter is deflected.

A mechanism is provided for gating a read access of any row in a cache access memory that has been invalidated. An address decoder in the cache access memory sends a memory access to a non-gated wordline driver and a gated wordline driver associated with the memory access. The non-gated wordline driver outputs the data stored in a valid bit memory cell to the gated wordline driver in response to the non-gated wordline driver determining the memory access as a read access. The gated wordline driver determines whether the data from the valid bit memory cell from the non-gated wordline driver indicates either valid data or invalid data in response to the gated wordline driver determining the memory access as a read access and denies an output of the data in a row of memory cells associated with the gated wordline driver in response to the data being invalid.

An implantable prosthesis is provided for repairing or augmenting anatomical weaknesses or defects, and is particularly suitable for the repair of soft tissue and muscle wall openings. The prosthesis may include a repair fabric that is constructed and arranged to allow tissue ingrowth and is susceptible to erosion into and the formation of adhesions with tissue and organs. One or more regions of the prosthesis may be configured to inhibit erosion into and/or the formation of adhesions with tissue and organs. The prosthesis may include an erosion resistant edge to buffer an edge of the fabric from the adjacent tissue or organs. The erosion resistant edge may be provided along an opening that is adapted to receive a tube-like structure, such as the esophagus.

Mechanisms for multiple hit (multi-hit) detection in associative memories, such as a content addressable memory (CAM), are provided. The illustrative embodiments include a hit bitline that discharges as RAM side entries of the associative memory are accessed. The hit bitline is precharged high and pulled low by a series of devices that are activated as each RAM side row is accessed. As more RAM side rows are accessed, the hit bitline drops lower in voltage. The hit bitline drives an inverter with a threshold set such that any voltage equal to or lower than the threshold indicates a multi-hit situation. Any voltage higher than the threshold indicates a single hit or “no-hit” situation. Thus, from the voltage of the hit bitline, the presence of a multi-hit condition may be detected.
