Appl. No.:

12/910796

Inventors:

Vladimir Rubtsov - Los Angeles CA, US
Michael Levin - Los Angeles CA, US
Gennady Sigal - Oakville, CA

International Classification:

F21V 9/00

US Classification:

362231, 362184, 362237, 362244, 36224902, 362294, 36231102, 362276, 3405731, 3408154

Abstract:

Apparatus and method for using a light source having spatially separated light emitting areas emitting light at different wavelengths to incapacitate a subject by a pattern of temporal flashing and/or color flashing of the light source. Also, power circuitry and optics particularly suited for flashing light incapacitation are included.

International Classification:

A61B 18/18

US Classification:

606 17

Abstract:

A catheter tip for delivering laser light energy to create lesions extending to a depth of several millimeters in tissue includes an elongated, flexible housing. A reflector is oriented longitudinally in a channel the housing. A side emitting optical fiber diffuser, extending the length of the reflector, is held at a fixed separation from the reflector. The reflector and the side emitting diffuser are configured and spaced to provide a convergent beam directed through the tissue under treatment. Reflector curvature may be circular or elliptical in cross section, or other selected shape. The diffuser and reflector relative positioning being selected to place the beam focal point (or image) at a predetermined lateral distance from the reflector preferably not closer than the far wall of the tissue under treatment. Temperature probes are provided to monitor the temperature gradient through the tissue thickness. Optionally cooling and/or irrigation fluid are provided. Optionally, the fiber terminates at a retro-reflector.

Appl. No.:

6/478970

Inventors:

Michael M. Levin - Agoura Hills CA

Assignee:

Cybernetic Data Products - Chatsworth CA

International Classification:

H04Q 900
H04J 312

US Classification:

34082552

Abstract:

A packet switching system includes encoding circuitry for generating and intermittently transmitting a plurality of data packets in serial bit stream format. Each data packet consists of a plurality of data words and one or more address words where each such word includes an initial constant value start bit, either a data byte or an address byte, and a steering bit which indicates whether the word is the last to occur address word in the packet. The address byte represents a dimensional identity common to all of the data words in the data packet. The system also includes decoding circuitry including a start bit decoder for sensing the presence of a start bit and a shift register having a number of storage locations equal to the total number of bits in the one or more address bytes, into which bits from the serial bit stream are serially shifted. A register control circuit enables the shift register to receive only the address or data byte bits. A steering bit circuit senses the occurrence of the steering bit and generates an output signal when the word being received is the last to occur address word.

Appl. No.:

6/575030

Inventors:

Michael M. Levin - Agoura Hills CA
Jerry A. Boshear - Simi Valley CA

Assignee:

Cybernetic Data Products - Chatsworth CA

International Classification:

H04N 7093
H04N 708

US Classification:

358147

Abstract:

The decoder is capable of locating a data signal within any horizontal line of a video signal, thereby eliminating the necessity for keeping track of the line numbers. The pre-data portion is detected and the data portion is stored in the same register. DC level restoration of the video signal is performed periodically during digitizing. When the decoder is used to receive a data signal in the standard FCC waveform, the clock run in portion, normally used for synchronization in conventional decoders, is detected and the operating rate of the register is adjusted to the rate of the data portion for a number of clock signals equal to the number of data bits to capture the data portion. Once the data has been captured, further signals are prevented from entering the register for approximately one frame to permit the stored data to be retrieved.
