Abstract: Système servant à commander le déclenchement d'une force et possédant un ressort Belleville positif (Bp) et un ressort Belleville négatif (Bn) disposés en série entre un élément de charge et un élément de réaction. Le ressort Belleville positif (Bp) est initialement dans un état de relâchement et le ressort Belleville négatif (Bn) est initialement dans un état chargé d'accumulation d'énergie. Un dispositif de commande mobile (24) vient en contact au moins avec le ressort Belleville négatif, de telle sorte que le déplacement de ce dispositif de commande libère l'énergie accumulée depuis le ressort Belleville négatif vers le ressort Belleville positif. La combinaison d'énergie accumulée dans les ressorts Belleville positif et négatif à la fois est appliquée entre l'élément de réaction et l'élément de charge. Ces ressorts Belleville peuvent être conçus de telle manière que le taux d'énergie libérée du ressort négatif est sensiblement égal, inférieur ou supérieur au taux de l'énergie accumulée par le ressort positif, ceci étant fonction du fait que l'application du système est ou non servie par une force de commande minimum pour déplacer le dispositif de commande, force de commande pouvant être supprimée après l'application d'une force entre l'élément de réaction et l'élément de charge, comme dans un embrayage automobile, ou une force de commande devant être exercée afin de conserver cette application de force, comme dans un frein à friction.

Abstract: An implantable sensing device includes a sensing element and a mounting element. The mounting element has a first end and a second end with a longitudinal axis therethrough. The sensing element is positioned at the first end of the mounting element with the mounting element having a length that is adjustable along the longitudinal axis. The mounting element includes a sleeve having a first open end and a second open end with the longitudinal axis therethrough. The sensing element is positioned in the second open end and includes a lead body connected thereto extending through the second open end. The sleeve includes an outer sleeve member coupled for adjustment along the longitudinal axis with respect to an inner sleeve member. Further, the mounting element may include a flexible element about the first open end extending outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis and a flange element extending outwardly relative to the longitudinal axis from at least a portion of the second end. The device can be implanted in a bone with the flange element and the flexible element for direct or indirect contact with the anterior and posterior surface of the bone. A method of implanting the sensor includes providing a sensing element and drilling a hole in a bone. The hole extends to the intrathoracic cavity. The sensing element is inserted into the hole and positioned in communication with a region in the intrathoracic cavity. The hole is drilled in the manubrium. When the flexible element is inserted into the hole, the flexible element about the first open end collapses towards the longitudinal axis and when the sensor mounting assembly is removed from the hole, the flexible element collapses towards the longitudinal axis during removal. Methods for providing stimulation of a patient to treat respiratory disorders using the sensor are also provided as are stimulation systems for providing stimulation of a patient to treat respiratory disorders.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gas sensor (A) which is adapted for evaluating the contents of a gas sample enclosed in a cavity (2) or a gas cell (1). The gas sensor has the form of a block in which the wall or wall-parts of a gas cell or cavity have highly light-reflective properties, designated mirror surfaces (11A, 12A). The cavity (2) has an opening (2a) for incoming light rays which are reflected in the cavity a predetermined number of times such as to create an optical analysis path before being caused to pass through an opening (6) for outgoing light rays, such reflections being achieved with the aid of three opposing, concave light-reflecting wall-parts (11, 12, 13). A first of the light-reflecting wall-parts (11) has the shape of part of an ellipsoid. A second (12) and a third (13) of the light-reflecting wall-parts have a common shape conforming to part of an ellipsoid. The focal points (11a, 11b) for the first light-reflecting wall-part (11) are disposed in or close to mirror surfaces (12A, 13A) for the second (12) and the third (13) wall-parts. A focal point (12a) for the second wall-part (12) and a focal point (13a) for the third wall-part (13) are located in or close to the mirror surface (11a) of the first wall-part (11).

Abstract: A medium attachment unit (MAU) is provided with a combined function override and status indication for a link test feature. A link integrity status feature is employed by MAU's to establish that the network is operational. The link test is performed by supplying test pulses over the network. Older devices which do not supply the necessary test pulses can cause newer devices to artificially detect a failure since they do not receive the test pulses.The MAU disclosed herein is provided with a means for disabling the internal link test receive function while allowing transmit and receive functions of the MAU to remain operational. Idle link pulses are still generated irrespective of whether or not the test receive function is disabled. In one example, a pin on an IC package may be held at a particular level to activate the disable function. When the disable function is not active, the same pin may be used to drive an LED device for indicating the operational status of the apparatus.
