Abstract: Systems and methods for bandwidth-limited video transport are configured to receive (or otherwise discern) a selection of video parameter limits that correspond to a bandwidth limit and apply the video parameter limits to an input video stream to enforce the bandwidth limit while preserving video quality. Methods may include adjusting the video stream one parameter at a time until the adjusted video stream meets the bandwidth limit. Parameters to be adjusted may include image resolution, frame rate, image compression, color depth, bits per pixel, and/or color encoding. In some embodiments, the image resolution is reduced first, the frame rate is reduced next, and the image compression is increased last. The extent and/or order of the adjustments of the parameters may be selected by the user, based on the content of the video stream, and/or based on the bandwidth limit.

Abstract: Anchors for securing a medical device relative to a body portal, wherein the anchors may accommodate most any implantation trajectory through the portal. Such anchors may further secure the device along any such trajectory without imparting undesirable biasing forces that may shift the device from its intended implanted location. In some embodiments, the anchor is configured as a burr hole anchor including a spherical member contained in a socket of the anchor such that orientation of the spherical member is permitted about three mutually perpendicular axes.

Abstract: An adjustable cable slitter includes two components each comprising a main body portion, a coupling device at one end of the main body portion and a T-shaped handle disposed at an opposite end of the main body portion. The coupling device couples the two components together allowing the two components to rotate and be expanded. A channel runs along an interior length of each of the main body portions. A blade housing on at least one of the components of the main body portion securely holds a knife blade with a predetermined amount of cutting edge protruding into the channel. The knife blade tip can be oriented to cut a circumferential cut in the cable sheath or a longitudinal cut along the length of the cable. The exposed portion of the blade pierces the sheath cutting the cable near its end or in a middle of the cable.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for immobilizing an implanted catheter tip while the catheter is anchored relative to surrounding tissue. In one embodiment, a cannula system is included that incorporates a cinch tube for guiding the catheter to a target site within a body. The cinch tube may define a cinch window to receive therein a cinch member operable to immobilize and occlude the catheter. The cinch tube may also include an elongate opening proximate the cinch window. The elongate opening allows extraction of a portion of the catheter and subsequent severing of the catheter above the cinch window/occlusion site.

Abstract: An implantation system for positioning and aligning an elongate medical device in three-dimensional space. The system may include: a frame member; and first, second, and third legs each having an adjustable length. Each of the first, second, and third legs includes: a first end having a socket segment, wherein the socket segments of each of the first, second, and third legs together define a socket; and a second end connected to the frame member. A spherical member is adapted to be received within the socket such that the spherical member may rotate about a center of rotation defined by the socket, the spherical member having an inner surface defining a bore passing through the spherical member.
