Patent EP-1441636-A2 (EP)
Inventor: EWERS RICHARD C
IPC: A61B19/00
Filed: 2001-10-20
Abstract: L'invention concerne un instrument d'accès chirurgical, conçu pour faciliter l'accès à une cavité du corps d'un patient, par une incision pratiquée dans une paroi corporelle présentant une surface intérieure et une surface extérieure. L'instrument comprend un premier et un second éléments de rétention conçus pour se placer à proximité de la surface extérieure et de la surface intérieure de la paroi corporelle, respectivement. Une membrane s'étendant entre les deux éléments de rétention forme une gorge adaptée pour passer par l'incision afin de former un premier entonnoir qui prolonge le premier élément de rétention et pénètre dans la gorge, et un second entonnoir qui prolonge le second élément de rétention et pénètre dans la gorge. La gorge de la membrane présente des caractéristiques qui assurent l'étanchéité d'un instrument lorsque celui-ci est présent, et une étanchéité nulle en l'absence d'un instrument. Le premier élément de rétention peut comprendre un anneau présentant soit un diamètre fixe soit un diamètre variable. L'anneau peut être constitué d'une première section et d'une seconde section comportant chacune deux extrémités. Des raccords peuvent être disposés entre les extrémités afin de composer avec les variations de taille du premier élément de rétention. Le premier élément de rétention peut également se présenter sous la forme d'un élément torique gonflable, d'une mousse auto-gonflante, ou d'un ressort annulaire. Plusieurs chambres gonflables peuvent également fournir à l'instrument d'accès chirurgical un canal de travail adapté pour s'installer à travers la paroi corporelle. Un premier élément de rétention muni de plusieurs postes de rétention fonctionne avec plusieurs attaches reliées à la membrane pour modifier la forme de la membrane et du canal de travail. Une plate-forme de stabilisation peut être utilisée comme support de l'instrument d'accès, généralement affranchi d'un mouvement de la paroi corporelle.

Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé qui permet d'inhiber, de stimuler, de moduler ou de réguler la réabsorption du glutamate. Dans ce procédé, on utilise des composés qui sont des ligands des récepteurs de glutamate, y compris de nombreux agonistes ou antagonistes des récepteurs de glutamate. On a remarqué que ces composés peuvent se lier aux vecteurs de glutamate ou bien peuvent moduler ces derniers et affecter les taux de glutamate extracellulaire en altérant l'activité des vecteurs. Les composés selon l'invention peuvent produire divers effets sur l'activité du vecteur de glutamate, y compris l'activation ou l'inhibition. Ces composés sont utiles pour traiter diverses maladies et troubles neurologiques impliquant l'activation des vecteurs de glutamate ou des récepteurs de glutamate. Par exemple, une quantité excessive de glutamate extracellulaire est une cause d'une activation excessive des récepteurs de glutamate. La stimulation de la réabsorption du glutamate par des vecteurs de glutamate peut améliorer l'activation excessive des récepteurs de glutamate au moyen de la réduction de la teneur en glutamate extracellulaire. Des formes de précurseurs de médicaments des composés de vecteurs peuvent être utilisées en tant que médicaments.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a distributed power amplifier topology and device that efficiently and economically enhances the power output of an RF signal to be amplified. The power amplifier comprises a plurality of push-pull amplifiers interconnected in a novel circular geometry that preferably function as a first winding of an active transformer having signal inputs of adjacent amplification devices driven with an input signal of equal magnitude and opposite phase. The topology also discloses the use of a secondary winding that matches the geometry of primary winding and variations thereof that serve to efficiently combine the power of the individual power amplifiers. The novel architecture enables the design of low-cost, fully-integrated, high-power amplifiers in the RF, microwave, and millimeter-wave frequencies.

Abstract: For the binary representation of a description corresponding to an extended description scheme (DS), the same principles as in the MPEG-7 binary format (BiM) could in principle be used, however, the resulting binary format would be different from the binary format of the original MPEG-7 description scheme (DS), even for the identical parts of both description schemes (DSs). This invention describes means and method for user or application specific extension of the binary format, where the binary format of that part of the description schemes (DSs), which is common to both the original MPEG-7 description scheme (DS) and the extended description scheme (DS), is preserved.

Abstract: The present invention relates to preparation an article of manufacture, such as of
a tire, via application of at least one partially pre-cured component. Tires are often
prepared with pre-cured, pre-shaped components such as for example, application of
pre-cured tread strips to a cured carcass as in the case of re-treaded tires. Thus
precured tread and cured carcass are joined together using a cushion gum followed by
heating the resulting assembly at an elevated temperature to cure the cushion gum.
Such pre-cured component may also be, for example, a sidewall apex. In such cases,
the pre-cured component is subjected to more heat than is necessary which may be
detrimental for the component. This invention is directed to the use of a partially pre-cured
component to prepare a tire assembly prior to the curing of the entire components
of the tire assembly.

Abstract: An object beam divided by a light dividing means 12 is caused to enter a
photo-refractive polymer layer 6 through an optical fiber 23. On the other hand, a
reference beam divided by the light dividing means 12 is irradiated on the
photo-refractive polymer layer 6 through a lens 13 from the opposite side. In this
manner, the object beam is superimposed on the reference beam in the photo-refractive
polymer layer 6 to provide an interference fringe or pattern. Since a photo-refractive
polymer has a specific characteristic whereby the refractive index changes according to
the intensity of irradiation light and the change is fixed after the irradiation light is
stopped, a diffraction grating 5 corresponding to the interference fringe is recorded on
the photo-refractive polymer layer 6. This diffraction grating 5 exhibits a specific
characteristic whereby the object beam emitted from the optical fiber 23 is emitted in
the direction of the reference beam.

Abstract: A method of re-establishing a connection for a communication link is provided. The link has
first and second portions, having the first portion in a first communication network, the
second in a second communication network and an interface connecting first portion to the
portion. The first communication network has a first communication protocol and a first
OAM protocol to monitor integrity of the first portion. Similarly, the second communication
network has a second communication protocol and a second OAM protocol. The method
utilizes the second OAM protocol to detect a failure in the second portion. Upon detection of
the failure, an alternate route for the second portion in the second communication network is
identified, where the alternate route is able to complete the second portion of the
communication link from the interface. For the communication link, at the interface the
second portion is replaced with the alternate route.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for defining the error
of reference time (15) of a receiver in positioning means
(S, MS). In the method a code-modulated signal
transmitted by satellites (SV1―SV4) is received, which
signal is produced by means of a code individual for
each satellite (SV1―SV4) and the code-modulated
signal is modulated at least with binary modulation
information In the method, positioning is conducted to
define the error of the reference time, and an error value
(SSE) is calculated on the basis of the defined location.
Furthermore, the minimum of the error value is searched
by defining the location of the receiver (MS) by means of
at least two different locations of the satellites
corresponding to the time of transmission of the signal
and by calculating an error value (SSE) for said at least
two locations of the receiver (MS). The error of the
reference time is defined on the basis of the searched
minimum of the error value. Furthermore, in the receiver
the moment of bit change in the modulation information
is defined, wherein said moment of bit change is used
for specifying the error of the reference time.
