Abstract: A system for interventional brachytherapy for generating data to be used directly for therapy and/or for therapy planning includes a radiation source which irradiates tissue of a patient and one or more radiation detectors which detect radiation delivered to the patient and generate radiation dosage data indicative thereof. One or more position sensors determine the position of the radiation source and a localization unit, in communication with the one or more position sensors, generates position data indicative of the position of the radiation source. An image database stores one or more anatomical images of the patient.

Abstract: A subsea fluid connector is disclosed. The body of the connector has a first portion and a connection profile portion, a first port through an outer surface of the first portion, a plurality of openings through an outer surface of the connection profile portion, and a plurality of fluid passages through the body and coupled between the first port and the plurality of openings. The subsea fluid connector may have a first fluid flow path extending through the plurality of fluid passages between the first port through the outer surface of the first portion and the plurality of openings through the outer surface of the connection profile portion, and a second fluid flow path extending through a fluid passage between a second port through the outer surface of the first portion and a third port through the outer surface of the connection profile portion.

Abstract: Aspects of a method and system for estimating and compensating for non-linear distortion in a transmitter using calibration are presented. Aspects of the system may include one more circuits that may enable estimation, within a single IC device, of distortion in output signals generated by a transmitter circuit. The circuitry may enable compensation of the estimated distortion by predistorting subsequent input signals. The transmitter circuit may generate subsequent output signals based on the predistorted subsequent input signals.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for reconciling clinical data received from an external source with patient data stored by a practice management system are described. Clinical data received from a source external to a healthcare information management component of the practice management system are evaluated to determine whether the received clinical data includes trusted source data. The determination is made based, at least in part, on at least one trusted source rule stored by the practice management system. The trusted source data is automatically reconciled with the patient data stored by the practice management system by performing a reconciliation action based on the at least one trusted source rule stored by the practice management system.

Abstract: A wireless device includes at least one antenna, a plurality of shared signal path components coupled to the at least one antenna, the plurality of shared signal path components including a shared adjustable gain element, e.g., Low Noise Amplifier (LNA), Power Amplifier (PA), etc., a first wireless interface, e.g. Wireless Local Area Network interface coupled to the plurality of shared signal path components, and a second wireless interface, e.g., Wireless Personal Area Network interface, coupled to the plurality of shared signal path components. During a first operational period, the first wireless interface controls gain of the shared adjustable gain element and during a second operational period that differs from the first operational period, the second wireless network interface controls gain of the shared adjustable gain element. With another embodiment the first wireless interface and/or the second wireless interface each includes shared adjustable gain elements for transmit and receive diversity.

Abstract: A mechanical emergency liquid shut-off device which comprises a liquid sensing unit placed upon a floor of a room. A pair of pulley assemblies are mounted in a spaced apart relationship to a ceiling of the room. A liquid flow pipe having a shut-off valve is located within the ceiling of the room. A spool has a shaft rotatably connected to the shut-off valve in the liquid flow pipe. A first cable has a first end coupled to the liquid sensing unit, wherein the first cable extends through the pulley assemblies. A second cable has a first end wound upon the spool, wherein the second cable extends through the pulley assemblies. A ballast weight has a second end of the first cable and a second end of the second cable affixed thereto.
