Patent EP-1565130-A2 (EP)
Inventor: SHERMAN TARA NICOLE
IPC: A61F2/44

Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode de fabrication d'une prothèse de noyau de disque vertébral. Ladite méthode consiste à former un noyau d'hydrogel à partir d'un matériau d'hydrogel à l'état naturel. Le matériau d'hydrogel à l'état naturel se caractérise par un taux de gonflement naturel. L'hydrogel est traité dans une solution alcaline présentant un pH d'au moins 8 environ. Ce traitement permet la transition du noyau d'hydrogel de l'état naturel à un état traité se caractérisant par un taux de gonflement élevé. Le taux de gonflement élevé est supérieur au taux de gonflement naturel. Le noyau d'hydrogel traité obtenu constitue au moins une partie d'une prothèse de noyau de disque vertébral dont les dimensions lui permettent d'être insérée dans une cavité du noyau de disque vertébral. Dans un mode de réalisation particulier, le noyau d'hydrogel est inséré dans une gaine de contention. Un autre aspect de l'invention concerne une prothèse de noyau de disque vertébral comprenant un noyau d'hydrogel avec un taux de gonflement élevé.

Abstract: A method of encoding data into a chain reaction code includes generating a set of input symbols from input data. Subsequently, one or more non-systematic output symbols is generated from the set of input symbols, each of the one or more nonsystematic output symbols being selected from an alphabet of non-systematic output symbols, and each non-systematic output symbol generated as a function of one or more of the input symbols. As a result of this encoding process, any subset of the set of input symbols is recoverable from (i) a predetermined number of non-systematic output symbols, or (ii) a combination of (a) input symbols which are not included in the subset of input symbols that are to be recovered, and (b) one or more of the non-systematic output symbols.

which frame members (24, 25, 30, 31) extend generally parallel in a generally
longitudinal direction of the machine and defining between them a space (26,

longitudinal end of the chassis (11), each being shaped to provide a recess
below upper surfaces of the frame members (24, 25, 30, 31), in which recess at

Abstract: This system includes a transformer separable/detachable between a
primary winding and a secondary winding, and a capacitor connected
parallel to the secondary winding of the above-mentioned transformer, and
supplies a high-frequency AC voltage to the primary winding of the
transformer to generate an induced voltage in the secondary winding of the
transformer, and transmits the electrical power to a load in non-contact
manner. The voltage supplied to the load is constant and the flowing
current varies. The power may be supplied to a different kind of a load
with a constant voltage. Taking as a first condition a fact that at the time
of a maximum load, the time of the reversal of the voltage polarity of the
above-mentioned primary winding substantially coincides with the time
when an oscillating voltage of the above-mentioned capacitor reaches a
maximum or minimum value, and taking as a second condition a fact that at
the time of a minimum load, the time of the reversal of the voltage polarity
of the above-mentioned primary winding substantially coincides with the
time when the oscillating voltage of the above-mentioned capacitor
completes one cycle, the above-mentioned capacitor is set so that the
capacity value satisfies simultaneously the above-mentioned first and
second conditions. This allows the load voltage to be made constant in a
load current range from a minimum to a maximum without requiring a
feedback circuit.

Abstract: A polarization state measuring apparatus of the present invention branches an
input signal light into a plurality of signal lights by optical couplers, gives polarization and
phase shift which are different from each other, to the signal lights by a plurality of optical
elements arranged on optical branch paths, detects the power of each of the signal
lights by the corresponding light receiving elements, and after adjusting at least
differences in the optical branch paths, processes electrical signals output from the light
receiving elements by operating means, to acquire information related to a polarization
state of the input signal light. As a result, it is possible to provide a small size polarization
state measuring apparatus which can correct differences in arrival times of the signal
lights to the light receiving elements, which occur due to differences in the optical path
lengths of the plurality of optical branch paths, to thereby measure the polarization state
of the input signal light with high accuracy.
