  • Publication number: 20110257611
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for sizing a subcutaneous reduced-pressure treatment device are presented. The subcutaneous reduced-pressure treatment device typically includes a drape envelope with a manifold in the envelope that is adapted for use in a body cavity. In a sizing step, a sizing tool is used to seal and cut simultaneously the reduced-pressure treatment device so as to keep the manifold away from tissue. Other systems, apparatuses, and methods are presented.

  • Publication number: 20050274186
    Abstract: A micromachined device for filtering mechanical vibrations caused by an external disturbance is disclosed. The device can include a first electrostatic vertical comb drive assembly having a first array of stationary elements and a second array of movable elements correspondingly interspersed with the first array. The device can also include a plurality of springs, each springs coupled between a support frame and a proof mass. The first drive assembly can be configured for motion in the z-direction. The device can include a sensor for sensing a position of the proof mass relative to the support frame by measuring displacement between each of the stationary and movable elements. The device can further include a second electrostatic vertical comb drive assembly. The device can have multiple electrostatic comb drive assemblies. An optional feedback network signal processes a displacement measurement to control one of the drive assemblies.

  • Patent number: 6246873
    Abstract: A conference station for use in a satellite conferencing system is arranged to receive communications on at least one satellite communication channel having a given frequency and to transmit communications on at least one satellite communication channel having a given frequency. The conference station itself controls whether or not the conference station can transmit on a satellite communication transmission channel by enabling transmission on a communication channel only when the conference station itself determines that that satellite communication channel is free for use or unoccupied. The conference station is also responsive to data signals received from a conference control station to adjust the satellite communication channel frequency or frequencies on which the conference station is able to receive or transmit signal. The conference station may form a part of a group of similar conference stations to which the same communication channels are allocated.
