Patent number: 11883152Abstract: Systems and methods for determining a contact angle of a catheter relative to tissue are provided. In one embodiment, a system includes a catheter with three or more electrodes, and a processor circuit in communication with the catheter. The processor circuit controls the three or more electrodes to emit a plurality of electrical voltages and to measure the plurality of electrical voltages. Based on the measured electrical voltages, the processor circuit calculates a first interelectrode impedance and a second interelectrode impedance. The processor circuit calculates, for each of a plurality of hypothetical i.e. model angles, a first hypothetical i.e. model contact force and a second hypothetical i.e. model contact force based on the first and second interelectrode impedances. The processor circuit determines and outputs the contact angle of the catheter based on a comparison of the first and second model contact forces calculated for each of the plurality of model angles.Type: GrantFiled: July 6, 2020Date of Patent: January 30, 2024Assignee: KONINKLIJKE PHILIPS N.V.Inventors: Oran Gerbat, Shlomo Ben Haim, Asi Elad

Patent number: 8627390Abstract: A scheme for providing programs to multiple end user devices. Two types of media streams that convey a first group of programs are provided to multiple end user devices via an edge device. The two types of programs include a unicast media stream and a multicast media stream. When a request from a first end user device to view a first program that belongs to the first group of programs is received, a type of a media stream that conveys the first program to a second end user device is selectively switched, in response to bandwidth constraints imposed on a communication path coupled to the edge device.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2006Date of Patent: January 7, 2014Assignee: ARRIS Solutions, Inc.Inventors: Shai Benjamim, John Reister, Gilat Avieli, Modi Finkelstein, Asi Elad
