Abstract: On peut traiter les blessures à hémorragies importantes (et d'autres blessures à hémorragie) en appliquant une pression directe, directement sur la blessure à hémorragie, tel qu'en appliquant une contre pression dans un espace confiné autour de cette blessure et dans cette dernière. Certaines substances et certains articles peuvent être introduits dans la blessure, et la blessure peut être entourée avec cette substance ou cet article (telle que des substances hémostatiques, qui peuvent être polymères), par gonflement au contact des molécules (telles que les molécules d'eau dans le sang) rencontrées dans la blessure, et cet effet génère la pression recherchée pour stopper ou du moins réduire l'hémorragie sans les inconvénients que présentent un garrot. Des substances coagulantes peuvent être introduites dans la blessure en même temps avec une pression directe appliquée directement dans la blessure. On peut traiter des blessures compressibles ou non compressibles. Ce traitement stoppe l'hémorragie sans produire de lésion par pression ou de dégradation ischémique. Cette invention concerne aussi des dispositifs médicaux utilisant cette technologie, comprenant des dispositifs qu'on peut retirer, des dispositifs biodégradables et des dispositifs que des infirmiers peuvent administrer.

Abstract: Each received symbol is converted into a specific voltage level out of a set of possible levels and the minimum level shift (ek) of the current symbol is determined by comparing it to a range of expected values. Equalization parameters are controlled by relative retiming between the subsequent symbols and the expected values as a function of the level shift. Relative retiming of the following symbol is carried out before comparing it with the expected range. The relative levels of the signal and the values in the range are then modified by a gain factor which is a function of the minimum level shift. <??>Preferably, according to the minimum shift (ek), an estimation is made of a noise power (e<2>k) associated with the current noise-affected symbol (d<2>k) and the estimated noise power is subtracted, giving a useful symbol power (d asterisk <2>k). The relation between the current noise-affected symbol (d<2>k) and the useful symbol power (d asterisk <2>k) is calculated. To perform retiming of the following symbol the relative levels of the signal and the values in the range are then modified by a gain factor representing the above power relation. <??>An Independent claim is included for a modem implementing the equalization method of the invention.
