Abstract: The present invention discloses a technique for determining a position of a distal end of a probe relative to a blood vessel. The method comprises receiving a first pressure pattern comprising a plurality of pressure values being indicative of a pressure of a fluid when the distal end of the probe is located inside the blood vessel, processing the first pressure pattern, and determining at least one adaptive threshold and/or a tendency indication. The adaptive threshold is indicative of a transition from a first position state to a second position state, or vice versa. The tendency indication is indicative of a certain trend of the pressure pattern. The first position state defines an in-blood vessel condition in which the distal end of the probe is located inside the blood vessel and the second position state defines at least one exit condition in which the distal end of the probe is located at least partially outside the blood vessel.

Abstract: A charger for recharging the batteries of a portable electronic device even when no external power source is available. A battery or cell is installed within the charger, and when no access is available to a fixed power source into which the charger can be plugged, the internal battery or cell can be used to recharge the electronic device. The internal battery can be a primary battery or a secondary battery. In the latter case, the internal battery can be maintained in a charged state by means of circuitry which, when the charger is plugged into the external power source, charges the internal battery as well as the battery of the electronic device. The external power source can be either an AC power wall socket, in which case the charger includes AC/DC voltage conversion circuits, or a car lighter socket, or the DC output of a conventional wall charger.
