Patent number: 8150955Abstract: The present invention enhances the dynamic frequency selection 9DFS) algorithms used in Wireless LANs by adding a channel swapping mechanism. The aim of the traditional DFS algorithm is to dynamically select channels in a wireless LAN in such a way that the best performance is achieved. However, not always the optimal channel selection is achieved. This invention describes an addition to the DFS algorithm in such a way that two APs can decide to swap channels instead of one AP switching to another channel. To avoid the problem of sub-optimal channel selection, a requesting AP sends Swap Requests to other APs in order to sense the willingness of other APs to swap channels with the requesting AP.Type: GrantFiled: November 20, 2008Date of Patent: April 3, 2012Assignee: Agere Systems Inc.Inventors: Patrick Busch, Richa Malhotra

Publication number: 20090254082Abstract: The present invention relates to an electrosurgical instrument, more particularly to an electrosurgical instrument for laparoscopic hysterectomy. The instrument includes an expandable and contractible loop positioned to controllably emerge from the distal end of the shaft, with loop defining a first electrode. The instrument further includes at least one second electrode which in a first position are positioned within the shaft, and in a second position are expanded from the shaft. The instrument according to the invention is extremely simple to operate and the instrument therefore provides an improvement over prior art monopolar and bipolar treatment methods, both in decreasing treatment time, and simplifying control of the treatment.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 10, 2007Publication date: October 8, 2009Inventors: Niels Kornerup, Patrick Busch-Madsen

Patent number: 7155247Abstract: A wireless communication network contains a plurality of spatially distributed communication devices (access point devices and station devices) for exchanging wireless signal frames. A device processes signal frames only when a strength of the signals exceeds a carrier detection threshold. Devices defer an intended transmission upon detection of a wireless signal with a strength greater than a defer threshold prior to the intended transmission. A measuring circuit performs a first measurement of a first signal strength of signals from access point devices and a second measurement of a second signal strength of signals from station devices associated with a first one of the access point devices. A threshold adjustment circuit first sets the carrier detection threshold of a first one of the access point devices above the first signal strength. The second measurement is performed when said first setting has taken effect.Type: GrantFiled: April 9, 2003Date of Patent: December 26, 2006Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventor: Patrick Busch

Publication number: 20060264928Abstract: An electro-surgical (ES) pencil of the kind that includes an elongated housing having a longitudinal axis, a surgical electrode having a tip and a longitudinal axis that is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing, the electrode a suction tube having a top and a longitudinal axis that is aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing and being offset from the longitudinal axis of the electrode, a suction hose connecting the suction tube with a suction unit, an electrical wire for providing electrical power to the pencil and being placed inside the hose. With this arrangement, an ES pencil is provided that is easily adjustable and customizable. In addition, since both the tip of the suction tube and the tip of the electrode are displaceable with respect to the location of the surgeon's hand, the effective length of the ES pencil can be simply and easily changed.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 12, 2006Publication date: November 23, 2006Inventors: Niels Kornerup, Patrick Busch-Madsen

Patent number: 7110374Abstract: The present invention describes an algorithm for the assignment of channels used by access points (APs) in wireless LANs in a dynamic way in order to achieve the best performance. The assignment of channels is based on a procedure in which an AP is passively listening on the other channels during idle time. The AP is calculating the optimal channel with the least interference and sharing. If the AP experiences too much disturbance, it will decide to switch to the calculated optimal channel.Type: GrantFiled: April 16, 2002Date of Patent: September 19, 2006Assignee: Lucent Technologies Inc.Inventors: Richa Malhotra, Patrick Busch
