1. A method of providing heat therapy to a patient’s uterus comprising:
inserting a uterine heat therapy system through a cervix and a cervical canal into the uterus;
creating a seal between an exterior surface of the uterine heat therapy system and the cervical canal;
delivering vapor through the uterine heat therapy system into the uterus; and
condensing the vapor on tissue within the uterus.
2. The method of claim 1 further comprising providing an indication to the user that the seal has been created.
3. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of creating a seal comprises expanding an expandable member.
4. The method of claim 3 wherein the expandable member comprises at least one balloon.
5. The method of claim 4 wherein the step of creating a seal further comprises expanding a first portion of the at least one balloon at an interior cervical os and expanding a second portion of the at least one balloon proximal to the interior cervical os.
6. The method of claim 1 further comprising exhausting vapor andor vapor condensate from the uterus.
7. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of delivering vapor through the uterine heat therapy system comprises delivering vapor through at least one vapor delivery port of the uterine heat therapy system.
8. The method of claim 1 further comprising, prior to the step of delivering vapor, generating vapor in a vapor source.
9. The method of claim 8 further comprising generating vapor in a vapor source disposed within a handle portion of the uterine heat therapy system.
10. The method of claim 8 further comprising generating vapor in a vapor source remote from the uterine heat therapy system.
11. The method of claim 1 further comprising, prior to the step of delivering vapor, allowing vapor to flow through a warming circuit of the uterine heat therapy system to ensure vapor quality.
12. The method of claim 1 further comprising, prior to the step of delivering vapor, delivering saline through the uterine heat therapy system into the uterus to flush the uterus.
13. The method of claim 1 wherein the step of creating a seal further comprises creating a seal between an exterior surface of the uterine heat therapy system and the cervical canal up to an interior cervical os.
The claims below are in addition to those above.
All refrences to claim(s) which appear below refer to the numbering after this setence.
1. A method of receiving a broadcast signal including a Non-Real-Time (NRT) service, the method comprising:
receiving a broadcast signal including first signaling information and second signaling information;
identifying the NRT service based on the first signaling information;
parsing the second signaling information to identify an Internet Protocol (IP) address of an NRT service signaling channel;
receiving the NRT service signaling channel by accessing the IP address; and
downloading a desired NRT service based on the NRT service signaling channel.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the first signaling information is a Terrestrial Virtual Channel Table (TVCT) and the second signaling information is a Program Map Table (PMT).
3. The method of claim 1, wherein a service_type field of the first signaling information identifies the NRT service.
4. The method of claim 1, wherein an elementary_PID transmitted to the associated second signaling information identifies a well-known IP address for NRT service signaling channel.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the second signaling information includes an NRT_IP_address_list_descriptor which identifies the IP address of an NRT Service Data or NRT Service Signaling Channel.
6. The method of claim 1, wherein a Non-Real-Time Service Table (NST) and a Non-Real-Time Content Table (NCT) is received through the NRT service signaling channel.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein the desired NRT service is identified_through the NST and NCT.
8. A broadcast receiver for receiving a broadcast signal including a Non-Real-Time (NRT) service, comprising:
a baseband processor for receiving a broadcast signal including first signaling information and second signaling information;
a Program Specific InformationProgram and System Information Protocol (PSIPSIP) section parser for identifying the NRT service based on the first signaling information and parsing the second signaling information;
a Service Manager for identifying an Internet Protocol (IP) address of an NRT service signaling channel from the parsed second signaling information; and
an NRT service manager for downloading a desired NRT service based on the NRT service signaling channel.
9. The broadcast receiver of claim 8, wherein the first signaling information is a Terrestrial Virtual Channel Table (TVCT) and the second signaling information is a Program Map Table (PMT).
10. The broadcast receiver of claim 8, wherein the PSIPSIP section parser identifies the NRT service through a service type field of the first signaling information.
11. The broadcast receiver of claim 8, wherein the second signaling information includes an NRT_IP_address_list_descriptor which identifies the IP address of an NRT Service Data or NRT Service Signaling Channel.
12. The broadcast receiver of claim 8, wherein the Service Manager receives an NRT Service Table (NST) and an NRT Content Table (NCT) through the NRT service signaling channel.
13. The broadcast receiver of claim 12, wherein the NRT service manager identifies a desired NRT service through the NST and NCT.
