Abstract: A gateway provides duplex-directional, multimedia ad hoc mesh networking, peer-to-peer direct communications, power optimization, dynamic configuration, and data management, while operating within various devices and network topologies. A multitasking virtual machine monitor for mobile networked devices, that is capable of functional expandability and portability to various operating environments, interoperability with a variety of operating systems, the Gateway Control System (GCS) performs functional capabilities in both a local and a networked topology using local and remote hardware and software. Software within the GCS is partitioned into sequentially, autonomous code, referred to herein as “modules,” each module being configured to communicate with hardware and other gateway modules. Collectively, all gateway modules are referred to herein as the gateway stack (GS). Each member of the GS can be turned on or off, downloaded from a remote site, and dynamically configured.

Abstract: Multifunctional guidewire assemblies and system for analyzing anatomical and functional parameters are described. Using a single guidewire assembly, functional and anatomical measurements and identification of lesions may be made. Functional measurements such as pressure may be obtained with a pressure sensor on the guidewire while anatomical measurements such as luminal dimensions may be obtained by utilizing an electrode assembly along the guidewire. The vascular network and stenosed lesions may be modeled into an equivalent electrical network and solved based on the measured parameters to obtain unknown parameters of the electrical network. Several treatment plan options may be constructed where each plan may correspond to the treatment of a subset of particular lesions. The anatomical outcome for each of the treatment plans may be estimated and the equivalent modified electrical parameters may be determined.
