Publication number: 20060085536Abstract: A system and method for sharing data polling and buffering for multiple requesters are provided. With the present invention, a user/computing device may register with a data polling system whose purpose is to periodically poll computer system resources for data. This data is stored in a common storage buffer with pointers to the data being stored in index data structures for a plurality of users. More than one user index data structure may have a pointer to the same data location in the common storage buffer. In addition, a mechanism for aligning data pollings among a plurality of users/computing devices is provided so as to increase the amount of sharing of data stored in the common storage buffer.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 30, 2004Publication date: April 20, 2006Applicant: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Joel Meyer, William Parvin, Wenjian Qiao, Dean West

Patent number: 7029467Abstract: A multiple lumen catheter having a soft, tapered multiple lumen distal tip for insertion into a body vessel. One of the lumens is sized to pass over a guidewire such that the catheter can be inserted into the body vessel using the Seldinger technique. At least one medical implement lumen is used for placement or positioning of a biomedical sensor or other medical implement. For example, at least one optical fiber passing through the medical implement lumen may transmit and receive light at the distal tip for measuring oxygen saturation of the blood. The catheter may have a cylindrical catheter body to which the soft distal tip attaches. The soft tip reduces the possibility of vessel or tissue puncture and abrasion. The tip is constructed of a soft plastic or pliable material that yields easily when force is applied.Type: GrantFiled: July 16, 2002Date of Patent: April 18, 2006Assignee: Edwards Lifesciences CorporationInventors: Clifford Currier, Michael Higgins, Mark Gordon, Stacy Faught, Dean West
