Abstract: A method for setting transceiver transmission parameters, in a transceiver having a plurality of components, to achieve the predetermined acceptable end-to-end bit error rate while reducing power consumption. In another aspect the invention relates to an optical transceiver system that uses digital signal processing to process the data stream sent through a fiber optical channel to compensate for transmission, reception and channel impairments to achieve the a predetermined end-to-end bit error rate and to alter its power dissipation to that sufficient to meet said end-to-end bit error rate. In one embodiment the optical transceiver system includes an optical transmitter; an optical receiver comprising an ASIC, FPGA, or other circuitry; and a controller in electrical communication with the optical receiver, wherein the controller controls power to portions of the ASIC so as to reduce power dissipation while meeting the end-to-end bit error rate.

Abstract: A personal media broadcasting system enables video distribution over a computer network and allows a user to view and control media sources over a computer network from a remote location. A personal broadcaster receives an input from one or more types of media sources, digitizes and compresses the content, and streams the compressed media over a computer network to a media player running on any of a wide range of client devices for viewing the media. The system may allow the user to issue control commands (e.g., “channel up”) from the media player to the broadcaster, causing the source device to execute the commands. The broadcaster and the media player may employ several techniques for buffering, transmitting, and viewing the content to improve the user's experience.

Abstract: Aneurysms are treated by filling a double-walled filling structure with a curable medium. The structures may be delivered over balloon deployment mechanisms in order to shape and open tubular lumens therethrough. The filling structures are preferably used in pairs for providing flow into the iliac arteries when treating abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Abstract: Systems and methods allow playback of a media stream received via a network. The media stream is received and stored in a buffer prior to playback. Responsive to receiving the user command to change the content of the media stream, the buffer is flushed prior to receiving the changed content in the media stream.

Abstract: The invention concerns novel pharmaceutical compositions and methods for the treatment of allergic rhinitis. More specifically, the invention concerns the inhibition of histamines, which is one of the primary causes of allergic rhinitis in human patients. The inventive pharmaceutical compositions include a carbonyl group-containing moiety, optionally in acidic medium, that combines with histamine to block histamine activity and thus reduce undesirable physiological effects of histamine in the body.

Abstract: In an asynchronous transfer network (ATM), to prevent the bottleneck associated with a host central processing unit (CPU) trying to receive status information for a plurality of interrupts occurring over an interface input/output (I/O) bus, a method and apparatus which transfers all status information directly to the host memory without host involvement. The host CPU is then notified of this new status information via an interrupt. When status information is transferred to the host memory, consistency is ensured and the number of spurious interrupts are reduced. A host software driver may then read the latest status information from the interface I/O bus at its convenience any not incur any performance penalties of I/O accesses.
