Abstract: The purpose of the “Dissolvable on-command Implant” is to act as a pressure equalizer tube in the eardrum, which has the unique characteristic that the tube can be dissolved with a specially formulated drop solution on-command. This tube can have various shapes and sizes, although the tube is usually a cylindrical tube with a hollow center, which maintains a ventilatory port for the middle ear space. With this design, the ear tube promotes drainage of middle ear fluid, lets air enter the middle ear, and allows for instillation of antibiotic drops.

Abstract: System and method for tracking and control in medical procedures. The system including a device that deploys fluorescent material on at least one of an organ under surgery and a surgical tool, a visual light source, a fluorescent light source corresponding to an excitation wavelength of the fluorescent material, an image acquisition and control element that controls the visual light source and the fluorescent light source, and captures and digitizes at least one of resulting visual images and fluorescent images, and an image-based, tracking module that applies image processing to the visual and fluorescent images, the image processing detecting fluorescent markers on at least one of the organ and the surgical tool.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a telephone handset, a base and an associated method for updating the software of the handset. The communication base comprises a radio interface to communicate with a communication device operating by means of a software application, a charger circuit and a means of detecting a new version of the software. The communication base comprises a means for notifying the device, via the radio means, of the availability of the new software version and a means for transmitting the new software version to the device when the charger circuit is connected to the battery charging circuit of the device.
