  • Publication number: 20210385117
    Abstract: Analysis of signal spectrum within a defined time period is performed by storing a signal sample, providing a displayable representation of the signal, and providing a detailed representation or analysis of a portion of the signal sample. An electromagnetic signal is received and corresponding data is stored. A signature characteristic of the signal is identified by examining general file characteristics, such as RF data and header file information. Time and frequency characteristics of the signal are determined and digital I/Q signal data are processed. A selection of a portion of the received electromagnetic field is identified and vector signal processing is applied to create a second set of similar plots, corresponding to the identified selected portion to provide simultaneous display in two display windows, with the second display window displaying the identified selected portion.

  • Patent number: 8353812
    Abstract: A handheld radiation delivery system is disclosed that includes a two-part delivery module comprising a reusable portion that contains a radioactive source wire and a disposable portion that includes a drive assembly for moving the radioactive source wire between storage and treatment positions. A disposable applicator tip is provided that includes a cannula for receiving the radioactive source wire when in the treatment position and a mechanism for limiting the number of uses of the device. A handheld cable actuator is operatively connected to the disposable portion of the handpiece to impart motion to the source wire.

  • Publication number: 20050074332
    Abstract: A fan inlet plate is provided in which a portion of the inlet plate is integral with and disposed at an angle with respect to the rest of the inlet plate to define a baffle of the fan. The portion of the inlet plate can be bent from the rest of the inlet plate. Also, the portion of the inlet plate can be at least partially cut from the rest of the inlet plate in order to facilitate bending of the portion as just described. An inlet structure for a fan housing is also provided, and has a first wall at least partially covering a side of the fan, and a second wall integral with the first wall and extending to inside the fan. In some embodiments, the first and second walls are integrally formed by a molding process.

  • Patent number: 6230106
    Abstract: A method of characterizing a device under test involves the steps of first inserting a calibration standard in a test setup. Second, a calibration signal is applied to the test setup. Third, a number of vector error correction coefficients are determined. Fourth, the device under test is inserted in the test setup. Fifth, a non-sinusoidal signal is applied to the test setup. Sixth, a response to the non-sinusoidal signal is measured.

  • Patent number: 5179952
    Abstract: A probe for electrocardial stimulation includes a catheter-like conduit for insertion into a patient's esophagus. The conduit has openings which are spaced apart at two longitudinal locations which are closely adjacent to the patient's heart when the probe is positioned in the esophagus. The openings pick up heart sounds and transmit them to the interior of the conduit for communication to the proximal end of the probe, where they can be monitored by attending personnel. Two electrodes are spaced apart longitudinally between and in fixed relation to the openings, so as to position the electrodes accurately relative to the heart based upon heart sounds transmitted through the openings. Other functions, such as a temperature sensor or stomach feeding or pumping capability may also be provided inside the conduit.
