Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé de séchage de cristaux de protéine, à partir d'une suspension de cristaux de protéine aqueux, qui se caractérise en ce que la suspension de cristaux de protéine est soumise à une opération de séchage dans un séchoir par centrifugation. Après avoir été séparés de la suspension de cristaux de protéine par filtration, les cristaux de protéine sont de préférence introduits dans une substance de séchage, à base d'un mélange d'eau et d'un solvant non aqueux miscible à de l'eau dans n'importe quel rapport, dont la pression de vaporisation est inférieure à celle de l'eau. A cet effet, on utilise avantageusement un gaz de séchage, humidifié avec de l'eau. La suspension de cristaux de protéine est avantageusement transformée en un lit fluidisé, à des fins de séchage.

Abstract: A method for protecting traffic in a radio access network connected to at least two core networks (CN). The method comprises maintaining a core-network-specific authen-tication protocol and a radio-bearer-specific ciphering process, and generating, for each ciphering process, a count parameter (C) comprising a cyclical sequence number (43) and a hyperframe number (HFN) which is incremented each time the cyclical sequence number (43) completes one cycle. For each core network or authentication protocol, a first radio bearer of a session is initialized (5-8) with a HFN exceeding the highest HFN used during the previous session. When a new radio bearer is established, the mobile station selects (5-10) the highest HFN used during the session for the core network in question, increments it (5-12) and uses it for initializing (5-14) the count parameter for the new radio bearer. At the end of a session, the mobile station stores (5-16) at least part (41) of the highest HFN used during the session.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des tissus teints au large, qui présentent à la fois d'excellentes caractéristiques de toucher et un aspect sensiblement non directionnel. Une telle combinaison permet de produire et d'utiliser un tissu d'habillement extrêmement confortable, qui peut être assemblé à tout autre type de tissu similaire pour façonner un article vestimentaire cible, sans qu'il y ait besoin d'aligner de tels tissus de composition, ce qui demande beaucoup de temps, pour conférer un aspect esthétique global tel que celui de l'article vestimentaire cible. En règle générale, un tel tissu est produit par l'immobilisation initiale des fibres individuelles à l'intérieur du tissu cible et par le traitement subséquent par abrasion, émerisage ou suédage d'au moins une partie du tissu cible. Un tel procédé permet d'obtenir un tissu de faible hauteur de trame et de toucher agréable. Après la teinture au large, le tissu cible offre l'avantage d'avoir des propriétés de surface non directionnelles. Pouvoir produire de tels tissus sans qu'une teinture à jet ne soit nécessaire représente un avantage financier significatif pour le fabricant et pour le consommateur .

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif étirant le ligament carpien et le flexor retinaculum, ainsi que les structures et les muscles superficiels de la main, de façon maîtrisée et sous le contrôle précis du patient ou du professionnel de soins de santé. Il s'agit d'une enceinte bilatérale, pour main gauche ou droite, à deux zones de retenue pour la surface thénar et la surface hypothénar. L'enceinte comprend aussi une partie supérieure à élément de pression touchant au moins une portion de la région dorsale longitudinale centrale de la main. Cet élément est relié à une source de pression active: à l'insertion de la main, l'élément activé peut transmettre une pression à cette région lorsque les deux surfaces mentionnées sont dans leurs deux zones de retenue respectives, ce qui engendre des forces opposées à la pression considérée. Il en résulte un écartement des deux surfaces, et un étirement transversal bénéfique du ligament carpien, du flexor retinaculum, ainsi que des structures et des muscles superficiels. Eventuellement, un système de contrôle de pression est relié à l'élément, ce qui permet au patient ou au professionnel de soins de santé d'utiliser le dispositif. Eventuellement, enfin, un ou plusieurs éléments chauffants sont prévus dans l'enceinte, pour améliorer l'élasticité musculaire durant le traitement, lequel repose sur l'application de pression constante ou variable par l'élément de pression, durant une période préétablie.
