Abstract: A vapor delivery system and method is provided that includes a number of features. In one embodiment, a method comprises inserting a vapor delivery needle into tissue of a patient, activating a flow of vapor from a vapor generator through vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle to cause condensed liquid to exit vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle, generating vapor in the vapor generator, delivering a dose of vapor through the vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle into the tissue, and after the dose of vapor is delivered, re-activating the flow of vapor from the vapor generator through the vapor delivery ports of the vapor delivery needle to prevent a vacuum from forming in the vapor delivery needle. Vapor therapy systems are also provided.

Abstract: A vapor delivery needle is provided that may include any of a number of features. One feature of the energy delivery probe is that it can apply condensable vapor energy to tissue, such as a prostrate, to shrink, damage, denaturate the prostate. In some embodiments, the vapor delivery needle can be advanced a predetermined distance into the prostate with a solenoid actuation mechanism. Methods associated with use of the energy delivery probe are also covered.

Abstract: Field testing, performance monitoring, and resource management are performed via a communications device, automatically and autonomously, without user intervention. Abnormal conditions are automatically detected while the communications device is performing a service and adjustments are automatically made to network resources in order to improve service performance. Upon initiation of a request for service (e.g., IM, MMS, SMS, etc.), the communications device automatically begins to monitor the performance of the service session (e.g., send time, receive time, etc.). During or after the service session, the communications device stores the performance data associated with the performance of the service. The performance data is analyzed in accordance with a subscriber's user profile information, to detect any problems with the service. If problems are detected, necessary adjustments and/or reallocation of resources are made automatically and autonomously, without user intervention.

Abstract: A vapor delivery system and method is provided that is adapted for treating prostate tissue. The vapor delivery system includes a vapor delivery needle configured to deliver condensable vapor energy to tissue. In one method, the vapor delivery system is advanced transurethrally into the patient to access the prostate tissue. The vapor delivery system includes a generator unit and an inductive heating system to produce a high quality vapor for delivery to tissue. Methods of use are also provided.

Abstract: Enhanced services, such as call restriction, call forwarding, anonymous call rejection, and proprietary services, may interfere with an emergency callback potentially preventing the callback from reaching the intended destination. Systems and methods for processing emergency calls to eliminate emergency callback failure in response to an emergency call being disconnected are provided herein.

Abstract: A method of patterning a substrate comprises providing an array of resist features defined by a first pitch and a first gap width between adjacent resist features. Particles are introduced into the array of resist features, wherein the array of resist features becomes hardened. The introduction of particles may cause a reduction in critical dimension of the resist features. Sidewalls are provided on side portions of hardened resist features. Subsequent to the formation of the sidewalls, the hardened resist features are removed, leaving an array of isolated sidewalls disposed on the substrate. The sidewall array provides a mask for double patterning of features in the substrate layers disposed below the sidewalls, wherein an array of features formed in the substrate has a second pitch equal to half that of the first pitch.

Abstract: A system of anti-surveillance security windows having one or more conductive glass substrates and one or more layers incorporating an organic radical cation compound, wherein the layers reflect in the infrared region, is demonstrated. Preferably, the organic radical cation compound is a salt of an aminium radical cation. The security windows may contain one or more layers of a multilayer interference stack of a metal/metal or metal/metal oxide design.

Abstract: A system for managing tailored marketing to users of wireless devices adapted to wirelessly access a computer network. The system includes a user database storing a plurality of user data, each user data including a user identifier and a device identifier that identifies a wireless device of a user. A management module transmits marketing information to a selected wireless device, and receives an identifier of a financial account that was used to perform a financial transaction in response to the marketing information transmitted to the selected wireless device. The module stores this identifier in the user database so as to associate the selected wireless device to the received financial account identifier. The financial account identifier can now be used to obtain personal information about the user such as the user's purchase history to generate tailored marketing information to the selected wireless device.
