  • Efficient piconet formation and maintenance in a bluetooth wireless network
    Patent number: 7978647
    Abstract: The invention is addressing the problem of efficient formation and maintenance of piconets with assistance from the master of an already existing piconet. The master of an existing piconet initiates the formation of a new helper piconet by at least two of its slaves. One of the slaves of the existing piconet becomes the master of the newly formed helper piconet and the other slave becomes a slave of the helper piconet. This process can be used to expand the number of Bluetooth devices that can use an Internet access point. It can also be used to permit two slave devices to communicate directly with one another so as not to unnecessarily use bandwidth available through the master. Finally, the method and system could be used to provide a method of efficient hand-off from one piconet to another.

  • Deflectable hollow stylet guidewire system
    Patent number: 7890190
    Abstract: A body implantable lead system includes an over-the-wire lead with a longitudinally extending lumen. A hollow stylet having an outer peripheral surface is introduced into the lumen and an annular resilient blood seal within the lumen may be sealingly positioned between the outer peripheral surface of the stylet and the lead to prevent flow of blood beyond the blood seal and into the lumen in a proximal direction. A guidewire is slidably received within the hollow stylet and includes a tip end which may project through the passage at the distal end of the lead such that relative movement of the guidewire and stylet within the lead is enabled while avoiding friction between the blood seal and the guidewire. Either the guidewire or the stylet may be preshaped for proper placement of the lead for engagement with the body tissue and surrounded by a semi-rigid retractable sheath.
