A tissue protector is adapted to be positioned on the skin surrounding an incision. The tissue protector provides a load bearing surface for surgical tools and instruments to prevent blunt force and pressure trauma to the skin and soft tissues within the incision. In one embodiment, the tissue protector is a sheet of wear-resistant material having an opening corresponding to the incision and expandable as the incision is retracted. In another embodiment, a tissue protector device includes a continuous expandable arrangement of interconnected L-shaped links. In still another embodiment, a one-piece tissue protector includes a flexible panel supported on the skin and a flexible sleeve extending into the incision. Yet another embodiment of the invention resides in a track that is supported about the incision. An instrument support platform is slidably mounted to the track to support a surgical tool relative to the incision.

A capacitive touch panel includes a first substrate and a second substrate arranged relative to the first substrate. A plurality of drive electrodes are arranged on the first substrate, wherein each drive electrode comprises a first drive electrode section and a second drive electrode section. In addition, a plurality of sense electrodes are arranged on the second substrate, the plurality of sense electrodes including touch sensing electrodes and force sensing electrodes. At least part of a sense electrode of the plurality of sense electrodes forms a force sensitive coupling capacitance with a second drive electrode section and not with a first drive electrode section.

A system and method are herein disclosed for parallel streaming of stored media from multiple sources. The architecture utilizes the notion of indirect streaming and provides a local proxy streaming server which is responsible for interacting with the multiple servers and scheduling downloads of media blocks and for dealing with possible rate fluctuations and server failures.

Provided is a method of transmitting content processed according to first digital rights management (DRM) to a device that uses second DRM. The method includes generating a ticket using a first license server and a second license server, the first license server issuing a first license for use in the first DRM and the second license server issuing a second license for use in the second DRM; the second device obtaining a second content key required to process the content using the ticket and the second DRM; and the second device receiving the content from the first device and processing the content using the second content key and the second DRM. The ticket includes use control information that specifies a restriction of use of the content, and the second content key required to process the content using the second DRM.

Provided is a routing method in a multi-hop relay cellular network including a mobile station (MS), a base station (BS), and at least one relay station (RS). One of RSs neighboring the MS measures quality of a link to the BS, generates link quality information using the measured link quality, and transmits the link quality information to the MS. The MS receives the link quality information from the RSs, selects an optimal path depending on the received link quality information, and transmits information on the selected optimal path to the BS.

Systems and methods are disclosed for establishing and utilizing a mobile communication system having a mobile communication coverage area. The mobile communication system includes a plurality of mobile communication devices or units and a mobile base. The mobile base establishes a communication coverage area and provides mobility with respect to the coverage area. Communications between the plurality of mobile communication devices are transmitted to the mobile base, and retransmitted or re-broadcast from the mobile base to the destination mobile communication units.

A method and system are provided for creating multilingual computer programs. Programmers use their own native language in writing software instructions and commands and the invention translates those either to another native language or to a native-language-independent representation. The invention supports having a single computer program with multiple native languages.

A system and methodology that performs data bundling and controls fast dormancy based on application monitoring and classification is provided. Moreover, the system provides a balance between saving battery power of a user equipment (UE) and reducing signaling and processing load in a radio resource controller (RRC). Specifically, the system observes data flow related behavior of applications on the UE. On receiving a first data flow request, an arrival time of a next data flow request is predicted based on an analysis of the behavior, and the system determines whether the two data flows can be bundled together and transmitted over a single connection. Additionally, on completion of the first data flow, the arrival time of the next data flow request is predicted based on the analysis, and the system determines whether a fast dormancy timer can be disabled to transmit the next data flow over the current connection.
