Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a device for manipulating at least one unit load (20) in particular a loading aid, between a loading side (5) and an unloading side (2) by means of a load receiving device (23), preferably in a preliminary zone of a warehousing system (1). According to said method, a receiving plane on the load receiving device (23) that manipulates the unit load (20) is displaced in the transport direction that links the loading side (5) to the unloading side (2) in relation to at least one of said sides (5, 2). The unit load (20) is positioned between two end regions of the load receiving device (23) that face the loading side (5) and the unloading side (2). When the unit load (20) is manipulated, the receiving plane can, in addition, be displaced in at least a perpendicular direction between a fixed position, in which the receiving plane is delimited by the two end stops and the unit load (20) is held between said stops and a transport position, in which the receiving plane lies above the end stops.

Abstract: When a processing system boots, an image loader may determine whether a portable executable (PE) image for a platform firmware runtime service includes a discardable section. The image loader may load part of the PE image into runtime memory to be used by the platform firmware. In response to determining that the PE image includes a discardable section, the image loader may omit at least part of the discardable section when loading the PE image into the runtime memory. Instead, the image loader may load the discardable section into boot-time memory. In another embodiment, the image loader may pre-allocate an area of runtime memory for PE images, and may load sections from multiple PE images into the pre-allocated area. Also, the image loader may use an alignment granularity that is smaller than the page size when loading the PE images into the pre-allocated area. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne une prothèse pour le traitement non invasif des anévrysmes et un procédé de fabrication de cette prothèse. Le procédé de l’invention comprend les étapes consistant à prendre, en appliquant une technique connue de tomographie informatique, l’image bi- ou tridimensionnelle de l’anévrysme et à déterminer, à l’aide d’une application de CAO tridimensionnelle, l’épaisseur et l’emplacement du passage principal de la prothèse responsable du maintien du flux sanguin et, si nécessaire, l’épaisseur et l’emplacement de passages latéraux ; produire, de préférence à l’aide d’une technique de fabrication assistée par ordinateur (FAO) et rapidement à l’aide d’une fraiseuse à 4 axes, le négatif à l’échelle 1 : 1 de l’anévrysme et les morceaux de noyau pour la formation de passages ; couler dans le négatif (les morceaux de noyau étant insérés dans celui-ci) un ou des polymères biocompatibles ; traiter les surfaces extérieure et intérieure de la prothèse et marquer la prothèse à l’aide de signes indiquant la direction ; puis, en fonction de la taille de la prothèse, la laisser entière ou la couper en plusieurs parties pouvant être assemblées pour rétablir la forme d’origine de la prothèse ; et enfin stériliser et emballer la prothèse terminée. La prothèse est coulée à partir d’un polymère biocompatible personnalisé et sa forme extérieure est conforme à la forme de l’anévrysme, de sorte qu’elle s’insère fermement contre la paroi de l’anévrysme, la paroi de la prothèse devenant progressivement plus fine vers les extrémités supérieure et inférieure de l’anévrysme et la prothèse s’insérant fermement contre la section normale du vaisseau sanguin, où la prothèse comprend une partie de passage intérieur assurant l’écoulement normal du sang et, dans des cas spécifiques, comprend en outre des passages de ramification interne connectés aux ramifications de l’anévrysme.

Abstract: In an engine output control system, the exhaust gas pressure PPREDPF immediately before the DPF (filter) that captures particulates entrained by the exhaust gas is detected (S100 to S104), the engine output upper limit value (TLMT1) is calculated so that the upper limit value decreases with increasing exhaust gas pressure (S106), and the engine output is controlled based on the calculated upper limit value (S108 to S116). Thus, by ascertaining rise in the temperature and pressure of the exhaust system owing to clogging of the DPF virtually directly and restricting the output of the engine accordingly, excessive exhaust temperature increase can be avoided, thereby preventing degradation of exhaust system components, and excessive exhaust gas pressure increase can be avoided, thereby inhibiting exhaust gas leakage from exhaust system component joints with high reliability.

The sludge filtering device for eliminating sludge made up of metallic and non-metallic particles formed by corrosion in a hydraulic circuit during heating, comprises a tank having an inlet (3) and an outlet (4) to collect and release the metallic particles, three electromagnets, where the tank is associated with the electromagnet, and an automatic drain trap and a pressure controller placed at an upper part of the tank. The metallic particles are evacuated after decantation. The electromagnet (8) is fixed and placed inside a water-proof housing, which is penetrating inside the tank. The contents in the tank are isolated so that the electromagnet is at the center of the tank. The three electromagnets are placed in bottom of three cavities to form three angles of 120[deg] between the cavities according to parallel vertical axis. The tank (2) comprises a circular slope of water jets arranged under the cavity, and the inlet and outlet. The water jets are directed downwards for an optimal cleaning of the tank bottom after draining of decanted sludge. The inlet and the outlet of the water in the tank is carried out by tubes, which is opposed diametrically, directed downwards and tangential with an internal wall of the tank to impose a circulation on water towards the exterior of the tank. The tank comprises a higher inlet intended for the introduction of additives in the hydraulic circuit, and a level detector of decanted sludge placed at the tank bottom to limit draining to minimum. The collecting and releasing of metallic particles are carried out according to the electromagnet fed by an electric current or not. The electromagnetic operation is ensured according to a predetermined cycle, by a programmer associated to a power supply.

Abstract: A suture needle construct for extracapsular ligament reconstruction in mammals. In a technique for using the suture needle construct of the invention, the joint is first explored, and the damaged ligament and meniscus are debrided. The joint capsule is closed and a tunnel is created at the appropriate location in the proximal tibia for tibial fixation. Subsequent to the formation of the tibial tunnel, the suture needle construct, i.e., a suture with a substantially curved needle at one end and a substantially straight needle at the other end, is brought in the proximity of the joint. The suture is passed around the lateral fabella using the substantially curved needle, then deep to the patellar ligament using the substantially straight needle, and through the tibial tunnel using the substantially straight needle. The needles are cut off, and the sutures are tensioned over the repair site.
