摘要:
In general, the invention provides techniques for wireless communication of medical event information between medical devices that treat a particular patient. In general, medical event information describes the condition and treatment of a patient. A medical device may detect another medical device via a wireless communications medium, and establish a local wireless communication session the other device in order to receive medical event information stored by the other device for a patient. The wireless communications medium may be a radio frequency communications medium, and the medical devices may establish a local wireless communication session according to any of a number of local wireless data communication standards. The medical event information received from the other medical device may be used to select a therapy, or to generate a report or patient chart detailing the condition and treatment of the patient.

This invention relates to systems and methods for wireless and wired optical data communications, in particular infrared data communications using techniques borrowed ultra wideband (UWB) radio. Data is input for communication. The data defines a plurality of data symbols for transmission. Each the data symbol is encoded onto first and second optical carriers. The encoding comprises encoding each of the data symbols as respective first and second pulse packets each comprising at least one optical pulse. The encoding uses a common pulse packet position modulation for the first and second carriers. The first and second optical carriers have respective first and second optical wavelengths. An optical signal comprising the first and second optical carriers is transmitted, received, and decoded to recover the data symbols.

The present invention relates to transgenic animals, as well as compositions and methods relating to the characterization of gene function. Specifically, the present invention provides transgenic mice comprising mutations in an ABC transporter-like ATPase gene. Such transgenic mice are useful as models for disease and for identifying agents that modulate gene expression and gene function, and as potential treatments for various disease states and disease conditions.

This invention generally relates to methods and apparatus for radio frequency communications over mains power cabling and other wiring, in particular communications at microwave frequencies. Embodiments of the invention are particularly suitable for ultra wideband (UWB) communications. A method of communicating a microwave signal having a frequency of 1 GHz or higher using a cable comprising at least one conductor, the method comprising: positioning a transmit antenna at a transmission point on said cable at a distance from said cable to couple said microwave signal into said cable; driving said transmit antenna with said microwave signal to induce onto said cable a propagating wave to propagate along said cable; positioning a receive antenna to receive an electromagnetic signal generated by said propagating wave; receiving a version of said microwave signal using said receive antenna

A wireless stethoscopic apparatus is disclosed comprising of an auscultation piece removably secured to a hearing piece. The components, auscultation piece and hearing piece, when not in use can be stored in a carrying case. Housed within the auscultation piece is a conventional radio frequency chip including a microphone that will enable transmission of radio frequency without the use of wires. A transmission system is housed within the auscultation piece, while the hearing piece includes a link manager receiver device for receiving the radio signals wirelessly from the transmission system and enabling sound to be heard via the hearing device from the auscultation piece.

A portable hydro-thermal therapy system for use with a vessel for containing water and method for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the portable hydro-thermal therapy system includes a mobile trailer having a platform to achieve point-to-point haulage thereof. A cool water supply device having inlet and outlet port is mounted on the platform. The cool water supply device includes a water circulation path from the inlet port to the outlet port, a water pump coupled to the water circulation path, and a refrigeration cycle contained within the cool water supply device. A thermostat and water pump may cooperate in combination to provide water between about 50° F. and about 55° F. The water circulation path is thermally proximate to the evaporator coil in order to cool the water being pumped through the water circulation path to and from the vessel by way of inlet and outlet tubing.

The present invention is directed toward recellularizing a devitalized cartilage graft with viable recellularizable cells in vivo, in situ, or in vitro to render the tissue vital. The present invention is also directed toward repairing a cartilage defect and implanting a cartilage graft into a human or animal by crafting a cartilage matrix into individual grafts, disinfecting and cleaning the cartilage graft, applying a pretreatment solution to the cartilage graft, removing cellular debris using an extracting solution to produce a devitalized cartilage graft, recellularizing the devitalized cartilage graft, implanting the cartilage graft into the cartilage defect with or without an insertion device, and sealing the implanted cartilage graft with recipient tissue. The devitalized cartilage graft is optionally stored between the removing cellular debris and the recellularizing steps. The present invention is directed to both recellularized cartilage grafts as well as a process for recellularizing cartilage grafts.
