  • Patent number: 7486235
    Abstract: An antenna system for providing network access services to wireless users generates at least a first and a second antenna beam, where the second antenna beam is movable with respect to the first. Additional antenna beams may also be generated. During installation of the antenna system, an installer may adjust the position of the second antenna beam (and possibly other antenna beams) in a manner that enhances the maximum data-rate coverage area of the antenna system for a given deployment region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 24, 2006
    Date of Patent: February 3, 2009
    Assignee: Intel Corporation

  • Publication number: 20050256452
    Abstract: A vascular steerable access device is provided having an elongate body and a steerable portion. The access sheath has an outside diameter sufficiently small so that it may be inserted into a vessel and a sufficient length to extend through a patient's circulatory system. The access sheath may have two internal lumen, a first lumen sized and configured as an access to a surgical site and a second lumen sized and configured to contain a tensioning device that, when acted upon, will deflect the steerable portion. The tensioning device may be directly or remotely attached to an actuation device that operates to control the tensioning and loosening of the tensioning device.
