Abstract: Apparatus and associated methods relate to a catheter manipulation handle with user interface controls for steering a catheter in situ while providing an augmented (e.g., motorized, powered and tunable precision steering, and perforation safeguards) control and feedback user experience. In an illustrative example, the catheter manipulation handle may provide motor assisted operation to automatically rotate and/or deflect a distal tip of the catheter to steer and guide the distal tip to a target location in the patient's vasculature system. The augmented feedback may include, for example, haptic feedback via the handle. Haptic, audible, and/or visual feedback via the handle may indicate, for example, proximity or engagement of the distal tip with sensitive tissue. In some examples, the handle's augmented operation may advantageously amplify feedback signals to enhance the user's perception of the patient's safety with respect to the safe passage of the distal tip through the patient's vasculature.

Abstract: A method and device for displaying radio frequency information, including a database of stored radio frequency identifiers and radio frequency information corresponding thereto, and a processor coupled to the database and operating one or more algorithms for generating a display signal as a function of a correspondence between a decoded radio frequency identifier and one of the stored radio frequency identifiers.

Abstract: Structures for a unitary spring system end cap include at least one rib formed on the outer wall of an end cap. The at least one rib can protrude from the outer wall, for example centered along the length of a spring system. Where a carton containing a product protected by a unitary spring system end cap is dropped from a height, the rapid deceleration caused by an impact with a surface causes the at least one rib to engage the spring system on which it is centered. A second such structure includes at least one bulbous feature located centrally of the platform of an end cap. The at least one bulbous feature can absorb compressive forces applied to the platform of the end cap, crushing in a controlled manner.

Abstract: A cockpit configuration management apparatus, method and computer program product for enabling pilot configurations of display and non-display avionics devices to be saved to a storage device, retrieved from that storage device, and optionally saved and retrieved to and from a transportable media. The cockpit configuration management, method and computer program product enable a pilot to save selected cockpit configuration preferences, so that, for example, another pilot may reconfigure the cockpit, without loss of the configuration preference information.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a receiver (100) of a wireless communication system is provided. The apparatus comprises a first filter (340) having a first cutoff frequency, a second filter (350) having a second cutoff frequency, a first data bit estimator (360) coupled to the first filter (340), a second data bit estimator (361) coupled to the second filter (350), a third data bit estimator (363), and decision logic (370) dynamically selecting one of the first and second filters based on a first bit count from the first data bit estimator (360), a second bit count from the second data bit estimator (361), and a third bit count from the third data bit estimator (363).
