Abstract: The invention relates to an orthopaedic brace comprising: a leg element (1) configured for being clamped firmly around the lower leg of a patient; a foot element (3) configured for supporting around the foot of the patient and comprising a walking sole (20) with a frontmost and rearmost maximal expanse in the longitudinal direction of the foot; a hinge device (4) that secures the foot element relative to the leg element and that permits the foot element to turn about an axis that corresponds essentially to the axis of the ankle joint when the brace is worn by a patient; and a releasable locking means that can be activated to prevent turning of the foot element. The invention is characterised in that the locking means can be locked in a single angle or - corresponding to the desired treatment - a very narrow angular interval of less than 10°, preferably less than 5°, whereby it is ensured that the patient does not inadvertently lock the brace in a (considerably) different angle compared to the one prescribed by the practitioner in charge.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un article absorbant qui comprend une feuille supérieure perméable au liquide, une feuille inférieure sensiblement imperméable au liquide, et de préférence perméable à la vapeur d'eau, et un élément composite absorbant que l'on peut étirer de façon sélective placé entre la feuille supérieure et la feuille inférieure. Cet élément composite absorbant peut être davantage étiré dans un premier sens que dans un deuxième sens perpendiculaire au premier, et il peut être étiré jusqu'à au moins 150 % de sa longueur initiale dans ce premier sens. Cet élément composite absorbant comprend une couche substrat que l'on peut étirer de façon sélective et une pluralité de poches placée dans et sur cette couche substrat. Chacune de ces poches contient une quantité d'un matériau superabsorbant, et elles peuvent être gonflées lorsqu'elles sont exposées à une attaque liquide. Lorsque le substrat est étiré, les poches sont alors plus espacées, favorisant ainsi un confort et réduisant le blocage du gel causé par des poches contiguës qui gonflent en se rapprochant l'une de l'autre.

Abstract: In an image processing device, an edge detecting circuit 1 produces edge signals that
represent edge components present in image signals, and an adder circuit 2 superimposes the
edge signals on the image signals to produce edge-enhanced image signals. The image
signals before edge enhancement are fed to a range setting circuit 3 so that, based on the
image signals preceding and following a target image signal that is about to be processed by a
clipper 4, a range in which the data value of the target image signal is allowed to vary is set.
Based on the range of data values thus set by the range setting circuit 3, the clipper 4 clips the
data values of the edge-enhanced image data.

Abstract: A high-pressure fuel supply system and method are used with an internal
combustion engine that includes a pressure raising mechanism (10, 20) operable to
raise a pressure in a high-pressure portion of the fuel supply system to a level suitable
for starting the engine, and a high-pressure pump (7) operable to raise the pressure in
the high-pressure portion to a target level that is higher than the above level after the
engine is started. When the pressure in the high-pressure portion reaches the level
suitable for starting the engine, a pressure wall of the pressure raising mechanism
displaces over only a part of its displacement range that ranges from an original
position to a maximum displacement position, so that the pressure wall will be able to
further displace toward the maximum displacement position so as to raise the pressure
in the high-pressure portion when the engine is re-started after the engine is stopped
before the pressure wall is returned to the original position.

Abstract: During the production of a deformable plastic mass or a composite material, a liquid binding mixture is formed from a binding agent and a foam forming agent. Said binding mixture is first foamed, and a hydrophobic, thermoinsulating filling material is then introduced into the foamed binding mixture, in order to form the deformable plastic mass. In this way, the inner, highly porous, sensitive structure of the hydrophobic filling material, which is responsible for low heat conductivity, is maintained. Especially a hydrophobic aerogel is used as a filling material. Advantageous forms of embodiment relate to the special arrangement of binding agent systems which enables a flexible change in the fabric appearance of the hydrophobic filling material to be achieved. The use of styrol acrylate especially leads to an independent solidification of the binding mixture. A preferred combination comprising foam forming agents creates especially good adhesive properties and thus leads to an advantageous integration of the filling material and to compounds with higher stability. Hydrophobic filling materials are especially integrated into a foam network in a non-bound manner.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for estimating the location of a
mobile terminal (120, 130, 140). The method estimates the locations
by: a) using at least one forward-link geo-location technique without
using any reverse-link geo-location techniques, this being performed
when there are enough base stations visible (112, 114, 116) to the
mobile terminal (140) to be able to use the forward-link geo-location
technique without using any reverse-link geo-location techniques to
estimate the location, and b) using at least one reverse-link geo-location
technique when there are not enough base stations (112,
114, 116) visible to the mobile terminal (120, 130) to be able to use
the forward-link geo-location technique without also concurrently
using any reverse-link geo-location techniques to estimate the
location. The forward-link geo-location techniques can be used
either alone or in combination with each other, and include such
known geo-location techniques as a time-difference-of-arrival
technique and angle-difference-of-arrival technique. Illustratively,
when the predetermined number, for example three, base stations
(112, 114, 116) are visible to the mobile terminal (140), the location
of the mobile terminal (140) is estimated using time-difference-of-arrival.
When fewer than three base stations (112, 114, 116) are
visible to the mobile terminal (120, 130), the location of the mobile
terminal (120, 130) is estimated using round trip delay. Estimating
the location of a mobile terminal (140) by using only forward-link
geo-location techniques when there are enough base stations (112, 
114, 116) visible to the mobile terminals (140) to be able to use
forward-link geo-location techniques, produces a more accurate
estimation of the mobile terminal's location. It also allows wireless
assisted GPS (AGPS) systems to more quickly estimate a more
precise location of the mobile terminal (140).
