20090257430 | Method and System for Preventing Data Loss in a Real-Time Computer System - A method and system are provided for preventing data loss in a VoIP system. In particular, during a VoIP call, it is determined whether incoming ringing on a POTS line causes an unacceptable level of signal loss or errors. If so, for subsequent VoIP calls, the CO handling calls to the POTS line is instructed to either answer each call with a busy signal or automatically forward calls to the POTS line to the VoIP line or other selected telephone. Calling returns to normal upon ending of the VoIP call. In this manner, incoming ringing on the POTS line does not result in call dropping or lengthy retraining processes. | 10-15-2009 |
20110200140 | Systems and Methods for MIMO Precoding in an xDSL System - One embodiment is a method for precoding data for transmission in a discrete multi-tone (DMT) system to cancel self-induced far end crosstalk (self-FEXT). The method comprises learning, by the system, characteristics associated with a plurality of N users within a digital subscriber line (xDSL) system to determine an initial off-diagonal multiple input multiple output (MIMO) precoder (ODMP) for a given tone frequency and converging towards an ODMP from the initial ODMP to cancel self-FEXT for the plurality of N users, wherein the ODMP is represented as a zero diagonal matrix containing only off-diagonal terms. | 08-18-2011 |

20080262578 | ELECTRODES USING TWO-PHASE HEAT TRANSFER AND MULTI-VARIATE ALGORITHMS FOR IMPROVED TEMPERATURE MONITORING AND CONTROL - A tissue hyperthermia system and method improves temperature monitoring and control along an energy emitter such as an RF electrode. A two-phase heat transfer system includes a material within an enclosed vessel that is thermally coupled to the electrode. Energizing the electrode to an operating condition emits energy into tissue and heats at least to a threshold temperature wherein the material undergoes a phase transformation within the vessel between a liquid phase and a vapor phase. The phase change assists in cooling, monitoring, and control of emitter temperature. Algorithms estimate maximum temperature either at the emitter or in tissue adjacent the emitter based on monitored parameters at the vessel. Multivariate algorithms use simultaneous power and temperature readings to estimate actual regional temperature, including electrode or tissue hot-spot temperature. A multivariate algorithm is based in particular upon time-dependent aspects of a pulsed RF operating mode. The multi-variate algorithms benefit temperature monitoring and control either together with the two-phase heat transfer system or with other more conventional devices. | 10-23-2008 |
20100069983 | TRANSMUSCULAR LEFT VENTRICULAR CARDIAC STIMULATION LEADS AND RELATED SYSTEMS AND METHODS - A cardiac stimulation system and method delivers a left ventricle stimulator from a right ventricle lead system in the right ventricle chamber, into a right side of an interventricular septum at a first location, and transmuscularly from the first location to a second location along the left side of the septum. The left ventricle stimulator is affixed at the second location for transmuscular stimulation of the left ventricle conduction system. A biventricular stimulation system further includes a right ventricle stimulator also delivered by the right ventricle lead system to the first location along the right side of the septum for right ventricular stimulation. An energy source is coupled to the transmuscular stimulation system, i.e., a pacemaker, and/or defibrillator, or to enhance contractility, and may be coupled directly or via “leadless” system(s). Various highly beneficial particular arrangements of stimulators and leads are further described. | 03-18-2010 |
