Abstract: Disclosed is a method for providing satellite assistance data to facilitate determination of the location of a mobile station, particularly for instance a mobile station served by a femtocell. When a positioning server receives a request for the location of a mobile station, the positioning server will determine from the request the mobile station is served by a femtocell and that the positioning server should query a femtocell server for seed data, or the positioning server may otherwise determine from the request that the positioning server should query the femtocell server for seed data. The seed data would preferably be geographic coordinates of a femtocell with which the mobile station is registered. The positioning server may then use that seed data to facilitate obtaining satellite assistance data from a base station almanac, and the positioning serve may provide the satellite assistance data to the mobile station to facilitate location determination.

Abstract: There is disclosed herein a method, system and computer software product for associating a location with a wireless modem, wherein the modem has a modem identifier and a registered address associated therewith and wherein the method comprises: receiving a communication transmitted by the modem wherein the communication includes the modem identifier; determining whether the base station first receiving the communication is located within a predetermined proximity of the registered address; associating with the communication a receiving base station identifier of the base station that first received the communication; associating with the registered address a registered address base station identifier associated therewith; and comparing the registered address base station identifier with the receiving base station identifier.

Abstract: This document discusses, among other things, a ureteroscope having a notch or other structure at a distal end configured to engage a guide wire and facilitate cannulation.

Abstract: A device is provided that includes an implantable conduit with first and second ends and a first retainer coupled to the first end by a first joint. A second retainer is coupled to the second end by a second joint, wherein the first and second joints are each configured to allow movement of the implantable conduit relative to the respective first and second retainers.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a percutaneous drainage catheter comprising a tubular member having a drainage lumen extending from a proximal end and a distal end; and a retention member formed around the tubular member and is adapted to move between a low-profile state facilitating insertion of the drainage catheter and a high-profile state facilitating retention of the drainage catheter in a body cavity, wherein the tubular member and the retention member operate to seal and tamponade an access tract in the body cavity. The retention member comprises a soft conforming balloon disposed at the distal end of the tubular member. The drainage lumen provides for drainage of urine, passage of a guidewire, and infusion of liquids. The proximal end of the tubular member is designed to protrude minimally from the body cavity. The drainage catheter further includes an inflation passage to actuate the retention member and to maintain pressure in the retention member for prolonged periods of time.
