Abstract: An injection device for injecting set doses from an ampoule (2) mounted in the device, which doses are set by operation of a dose setting button (7) by which operation elastic torsion rods (14) positioned parallel with the longitudinal axis of the device are twisted. By the dose setting a torque is transmitted from the dose setting button (7) to the rods (14) through gear transmissions comprising a toothing (11) carried by a tubular (8) part coupled to the dose setting button (7) to rotate with this button. The toothing (11) engages pinions (13) fixed to the proximal ends of the torsion rods (14), which are made from a super elastic material, which can stand a deformation larger than 2% without being permanently deformed.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for increasing the continuous filtering flow rate through a pressure liquid filter unit of liquid-to-be-filtered having (1) a carrier liquid, (2) coalescing solids particles which tend to adhere and bridge filter clement gaps sized substantially larger than said particles and (3) larger impurity elements to be filtered out of the liquid-to-be-filtered and sized larger than such filter element gap. A pressure liquid filter unit containing a filter element having gaps, a given gap being sized to reliably pass the carrier liquid and coalescing solids particles at a first relatively low liquid flow rate, but blocking coalescing solids particles passage therethrough due to bridging of said gaps by the coalescing solids particles at a relatively high liquid flow rate. The coalescing solids particles adjacent said gap are agitated at an ultrasonic frequency, thereby passing the carrier liquid and coalescing solids praticles through the gap at the relatively high flow rate without bridging and blinding of the gap by the coalescing solids particles.

Abstract: A notch filter circuit (12) is provided including a first stage circuit (50) and a second stage circuit (52). The first stage circuit (50) sums a filter input signal (56) with a filter output signal (67) to form a summation signal. The second stage circuit (52) includes a first tee network (60) and a second tee network (62). The first tee network (60) low-pass filters the filter input signal to form a first tee output signal. The second tee network (62) high-pass filters the summation signal to form a second tee output signal. A first multiplying digital-to-analog converter (64) is electrically coupled to the first tee network (60) and the second tee network (62). The first converter (64) modifies the gain of the second tee network (62) in response to a gain signal to form a corrected second tee network signal, thereby adjusting a notch filter frequency (Fig. 2).

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif de fixation d'un tissu conjonctif à un os, comportant un axe longitudinal et un élément articulé annulaire, ainsi qu'un élément-corps disposé de manière distale par rapport à l'élément articulé, de sorte à former un espace axial entre l'élément articulé et le corps. L'élément articulé peut être déplacé entre une position non déployée où l'élément articulé présente un profil plus petit dans un sens transversal par rapport à l'axe et une position déployée, où l'élément articulé présente un profil plus grand dans le sens transversal par rapport à l'axe. Une fois installé dans un site opératoire voulu, dans un os approprié, le matériau de suture s'étend de manière axiale à travers l'ouverture centrale de l'élément articulé annulaire, sans être fixé à l'élément articulé, ni être en contact avec ledit élément. Cette approche permet une fixation de suture s'étendant entièrement en-dessous de la surface corticale de l'os, et permet également la fixation de la suture sur l'ancrage osseux sans avoir besoin de faire un noeud, ce qui est particulièrement difficile et exige de bonnes compétences techniques dans le cas de procédés opératoires arthroscopiques. La fixation de la suture à l'ancrage osseux consiste à former une boucle avec un morceau de la suture autour d'un élément de retenue de suture situé à l'intérieur de l'ancrage osseux, à serrer la suture et le tissu mou fixé, puis à comprimer la suture contre l'ancrage osseux.
