  • Patent number: 12161853
    Abstract: An implantable medical device includes a functional unit, an introducer unit for introducing and/or navigating the functional unit in a lumen of body conduit(s) of a subject, and an elongated operable element connectable to a controller for operating the functional unit though the elongated operable element in a lumen of body conduit(s) of the subject. The functional unit, introducer unit, and elongated operable element may be in a slidable relationship for assembling and unassembling the implantable medical device in vivo. The implantable medical device is implantable, explantable, and operable in a lumen of body conduit(s) of a subject according to related methods.

  • Publication number: 20230301623
    Abstract: There is provided a method and a system for ultrasound imaging in presence of relative motion between a body and an imaging probe. A plurality of Eulerian-based ultrasound images of the body acquired at successive times T with the imaging probe is obtained. Lagrangian coordinates for the body are computed using data from the Eulerian-based ultra-sound images. Lagrangian-based ultrasound images of the body are formed by providing the data from the Eulerian-based ultrasound images in the Lagrangian coordinate system.

  • Patent number: 10464804
    Abstract: The invention relates to an adapter and to a filling method giving the possibility of flexibility in the transfer of fluids from a filling cell to a fluidic circuit, depending on the different filling levels required on a production line, notably finding application for the transfer of fluids such as coolant fluid, brake fluid, air-conditioning fluid, to the corresponding fluidic circuit of a vehicle, for example on an automotive assembly line, or further in the energy sector for filling electric radiators with a fluid. The adapter comprises a conduit 4 connected to the filling cell 16 for sucking up filling fluid 5 contained in, and filling with the filling fluid 5, the fluidic circuit 2, and a plunger tube 6, secured to a piston 7 axially adjustable on an axis Y in a first guiding tube 9, having first and second ends 14, and connected through the first end to the conduit.

  • Publication number: 20180103453
    Abstract: A computing device may schedule transmission of software packages on a broadcast/multicast downlink channel. The schedule may also include media transmissions on the channel, and the software package transmissions may be scheduled for times when the media transmissions are using less than or equal to a threshold capacity level of the channel. A software update request may be received from a wireless computing device. Possibly in response to receiving the software update request, a particular software package related to the wireless computing device may be determined. The particular software package may be scheduled to begin transmission on the channel at a particular time. At least an identifier of the channel and the particular time may be transmitted to the wireless computing device.

  • Patent number: 9717063
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-usable medium are provide for managing the Open Channel for IMS command correctly the UICC to have knowledge about the specific status codes the ME received from IMS. This knowledge allows the UICC to make a smarter decision on what it attempts to do to access IMS. Accordingly, the UICC is provided with detailed information about the status codes from the IMS service to allow the UICC to make an informed decision. If the UICC does not have such knowledge, it is possible that the UICC will send potentially unwanted commands to the ME to establish access to IMS.

  • Patent number: 9538344
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for automatically sending a data message from a mobile device to at least one recipient during or soon after an emergency voice call, the method having the steps of: determining whether the data message can be sent over the network during the emergency voice call, and if yes, creating and sending the data message; and if no, waiting until either the mobile device connects to a new network, wherein the method proceeds back to said determining step, or until the voice call has ended and then creating and sending the data message.

  • Patent number: 8989709
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method is provided for customization of a mobile communications device's data session retry mechanism in a wireless packet data service network. The mobile communication device requests activation of a data session with a node via the wireless network and receives a reject message via the wireless network in response to the request for activation of the data session, the reject message including a cause code. If the cause code corresponds to a no-retry behavior of the data session retry mechanism of the mobile communication device, the mobile communications device no longer requesting activation of a data session with the node.

  • Patent number: 8983541
    Abstract: To consolidate session initiation protocol (SIP) messages a user equipment (UE) is made aware of all Internet Protocol (IP) multimedia subsystem (IMS) applications installed in its memory and on a universal integrated circuit card (UICC) and supported communication services. By obtaining this information before the initial IMS Registration, the UE can save resources by registering all local applications and communication services in single IMS registration.
