Abstract: A medical retrieval device includes an elongated hollow shaft extending from a proximal shaft end to a distal shaft end, and an operating element forming a proximal end and a distal end and being movable in the hollow shaft between a retracted position and an extended position. The medical retrieval device further comprises a plurality of basket-wires extending from a proximal wire end to a distal wire end, where the basket-wires are joined at the distal wire end and are fixed at the proximal wire end to the distal end of the operating element. The distance L1 from the distal shaft end of the hollow shaft to the proximal wire end of the basket-wires is smaller than the distance L2 from the proximal wire end of the basket-wires to the distal wire end of the basket-wires, when the operating element is in the extended position.

Abstract: Forwarding decisions for Internet Protocol packets/frames are provided. An IP address from received packets/frames is extracted and split into portions or parts, a prefix, offset and suffix. A prefix table is used to identify an entry with a longest match to the prefix. A base address is retrieved from the identified entry to generate an identifier used to locate another entry in another table. The other identified entry provides receiver data or information regarding the intended destination.
