Abstract: L'invention concerne un disque artificiel comportant une paire de plaques opposées destinées à reposer contre des surfaces osseuses vertébrales opposées, séparées par un ressort araignée doté d'une pluralité de bras de ressort s'étendant de manière radiale à partir d'un moyeu central. Des modes de réalisation variés de bras de ressort comprennent des bras de ressort droits, courbés, rainurés, ondulés, s'amincissant ou s'épaississant; et des bras de ressort à côtés parallèles, à côtés divergents vers l'extérieur de manière radiale, ou à côtés incurvés et divergents vers l'extérieur de manière radiale. Des modes de réalisation variés de ressort araignée comprennent des ressorts araignée dotés d'un moyeu central solide, alésé, doté de cavités incurvées, ou de protubérances semisphériques. Des modes de réalisation variés de plaques comprennent des plaques présentant, sur leurs surfaces faisant face à l'intérieur, une cavité incurvée, une protubérance semisphérique, un renfoncement circulaire, ou une surface plane. Les ressorts araignée peuvent être disposés entre les plaques, par le biais de dispositifs d'accouplement variés, de sorte que les plaques se compriment, effectuent librement un déplacement rotatif et angulaire l'une par rapport à l'autre, permettant au disque artificiel d'imiter le comportement d'un disque intervertébral naturel sain.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for error location in branched low voltage and medium voltage networks and to an evaluation network used therefor. The inventive method consists of the following steps: initially, the frequency of the low-frequency component of the impulse wave current or voltage is determined; the circuit inductance is calculated, using a Thomson resonant circuit formula, from the determined low-frequency transient frequency with the known capacitance of the impulse capacitor; the inductance of the impulse capacitor and the measuring line is deducted as a correction factor; finally the distance from the place of error in the cable is calculated from the inductance thus calculated on the basis of the inductance of the measured object, the advantage thereof being that it is possible to located voltage-dependent cable errors in a branched low-voltage or medium voltage network by means of length determination in a quick and error-free manner without signal reflections causing disturbances on branches or end points of the cable. The evaluation circuit is provided with a conditioning and protection component, an A/D converter and at least one memory unit, in addition to an evaluation computer for the signal.

Abstract: The dynamic reconfiguration method uses one or more switching tables. These comprise one or more controls and one or more configuration memories and exist on or are connected to the module. Configuration words are transmitted from a switching table to a configurable element or several configurable elements of the modules, which set a desired configuration. The positioning logic or the configurable elements can write data into the configuration memory of the switching table(s). The table controls identify individual inputs as commands and can carry out these commands. The controls recognise different events and can differentiate between them and carry out a specified action. In response to an event or combination of events the controls move a position indicator. When the data is configuration data and not a control command the data is sent to the configurable elements. The control can transmit one or more messages to the logic which recognises and analyses the signals. The logic transmits data to the configuration memory of the switching table(s).

The receive beamformer includes analog random access memory (ARAM) delay elements configured to delay signals received from the receive elements and provide the delayed signals on an output of the receive beamformer as a beamformed RF output. The beamformed RF output is suitable for use in forming an image of the region of interest.
