20080319472 | Cervical dilator catheter - This invention is an improved balloon catheter for cervical dilation. This catheter has a balloon that is passed through the cervix of a pregnant woman, and the balloon is then inflated with 100-120 ml of sterile water or normal saline. The improved disc shape of the inflated balloon is 8 cm in diameter and 3-4 cm in height. The balloon will sweep the amniotic membrane away from the cervix, causing the release of prostaglandins which helps ripen the cervix and initiates uterine contractions. The improved shape of the balloon causes the cervix to be 6-8 cm dilated once it is expelled. This catheter also contains a flexible guidewire that allows for easier insertion for the provider, and makes insertion less painful for the patient because it can be placed without a speculum and ring forcep being used. This catheter could actually be placed on an outpatient basis or in the doctor's office, with the patient instructed to go to the hospital or birthing unit when the catheter falls out. This catheter is smaller in diameter than the 16 French Foley catheter, so therefore it can be placed when the patient is <1 cm dilated. This catheter when placed properly and secured to the patient's thigh with tension applied can shorten labor by 4-10 hours. | 12-25-2008 |

20090300290 | Memory Metadata Used to Handle Memory Errors Without Process Termination - Embodiments of the invention provide an interrupt handler configured to distinguish between critical and non-critical unrecoverable memory errors, yielding different actions for each. Doing so may allow a system to recover from certain memory errors without having to terminate a running process. In addition, when an operating system critical task experiences an unrecoverable error, such a task may be acting on behalf of a non-critical process (e.g., when swapping out a virtual memory page). When this occurs, an interrupt handler may respond to a memory error with the same response that would result had the process itself performed the memory operation. Further, firmware may be configured to perform diagnostics to identify potential memory errors and alert the operating system before a memory region state change occurs, such that the memory error would become critical. | 12-03-2009 |

20090271668 | Bus Failure Management Method and System - A method, apparatus and program product improve computer reliability by, in part, identifying a plurality of error occurrences from Error Correction Codes. It may then be determined if the plurality of error occurrences are associated with a single bit of a bus. The determined, single bit may correspond to a faulty component of the bus. This level of identification efficiently addresses problems. For instance, a corrective algorithm may be applied if the plurality of error occurrences are associated with the single bit. Alternatively, the bus may be disabled if the plurality of error occurrences are not associated with the single bit of the bus. In this manner, implementations may detect, identify and act in response to multiple failure modes. | 10-29-2009 |
