Abstract: A cranial implant may include an interior guide portion, an exterior guide portion, and one or more flanges. In one example, the interior guide portion may be disposed in a burr hole of a cranium and include a distal end, a proximal end, an inner surface, and an outer surface. The distal end may be inserted further into the burr hole than the proximal end. The inner surface may at least partially define a channel that accepts an elongated member, and the outer surface may extend around the full circumference of the burr hole. The exterior guide portion may be coupled to the interior guide portion and may contact an external surface of the cranium. The interior guide portion may define one or more surface features configured to secure the interior guide portion to the burr hole or secure an elongated member within the channel of the cranial implant.

Abstract: A delivery system for percutaneously deploying a valve prosthesis. The system includes a catheter assembly including a delivery sheath capsule and a handle having an oscillating device. The capsule is configured to compressively retain the valve prosthesis during implantation. After the valve prosthesis is partially exposed during implantation, the oscillating device can create a vibratory motion to reduce the friction between the valve prosthesis and the delivery sheath capsule in order to recapture the valve prosthesis.

Abstract: A backpack for transporting cigars in a humidity controlled environment that also includes cigar and lifestyle accessories. The humidity of the entire contents of the backpack are measured by a hydrometer visible from outside the backpack. A smaller removable case is also provided inside the backpack allowing essentials to be transported outside of the backpack.

Abstract: A burr cap assembly is at least partially inserted into a burr hole within the cranium of a patient. The burr cap assembly enables a elongate member to be inserted through the burr cap assembly to access a brain of the patient. A shifting member of the burr cap assembly may be configured to enable the elongate member to move with shifting fluid and matter of the brain. The shifting member of the burr cap assembly may be configured to move within a cavity defined by the burr cap assembly. The shifting member may be configured to move in a direction that is substantially perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the distal portion of the elongate member. The shifting member may at least partially retain the elongate member, so as the shifting brain applies forces upon the elongate member, the elongate member and the shifting member may move within the cavity.

Abstract: A method and system for monitoring a packet network by using call detail records (CDRs) are disclosed. The method first receives at least one call detail record (CDR) at a completion of a call from at least one voice gateway router that serviced said call and analyzes said at least one CDR. The method then monitors at least one performance parameter in accordance with said at least one CDR.

Abstract: A method and system for enabling a network service provider to monitor a packet network by using call detail records (CDRs) are disclosed. The method first detects a termination of a call by at least one voice gateway router and generates a call detail record (CDR) at said termination of said call by said at least one voice gateway router. The method then forwards said call detail record by said at least one voice gateway router to at least one CDR collecting and analysis server.
