Title: Procede et appareil ameliorant les performances neuromusculaires
Inventor: FILIPPI GUIDO MARIA
IPC: A61H23/02
Filed: 2002-12-16
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé améliorant les performances neuromusculaires, caractérisé en ce qu'il utilise la technique de conditionnement Alpha produisant un stimulus des récepteurs nerveux lors d'une contraction musculaire volontaire, en ce sens qu'il transforme les propriétés mécaniques des tissus mous, crée un filtre mécanique passe-haut et provoque une force mécanique modulable détectable par les récepteurs nerveux isométriques donnant l'illusion de percevoir le positionnement des articulations. L'invention porte par ailleurs sur un appareil améliorant les performances neuromusculaires, caractérisé en ce qu'il comporte: un transducteur; un système de fixation du transducteur; et un panneau de commande. Le transducteur, qui doit supporter une charge statique transformant les tissus biologiques en filtres passe-haut, impose et maintient une charge dynamique additionnelle au groupe de muscles soumis au traitement, produisant ainsi une force se propageant dans les tissus et donc au patient. Le panneau de commande émet un signal électrique d'une fréquence préétablie et d'amplitude modifiable (pour atteindre le muscle profond et son articulation).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical transmission system (200) wherein the optical transmission system (200) has an optical signal transmitter (220) which functions as a passive hub, in which only optical signal processing is performed, while associated electronic signal processing is performed outside the passive hub. The passive hub includes upconverter devices (225) that place the optical signal bands at frequencies that allow separation of the bands at a detector (461). The detectors (461) are thus loaded with more than one wavelength at a time. The optical transmission signals are optically combined and/or amplified onto a single fiber that is fed to a headend device (270), where the wavelengths of the optical transmission signals are demultiplexed and fed to the receivers (280).

Abstract: The present invention relates generally to computer software, and more specifically, to a system
and method of foiling buffer-overflow and alien-code attacks. The invention protects computers
from such attacks by encoding data placed in storage, and varying the encodings used in
different storage areas. When the data is needed by a software application, the data is simply
decoded in a complementary manner. This prevents storage areas written according to one
usage from being used effectively for some other purpose. The method of the invention can be
done in a number of ways. For example, a "protector" engine can be placed between a
software application and memory, or the function calls in the software application itself, could be
amended to include encoding and decoding. Other embodiments and alternatives are also
described.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing cellular laminate structural panels includes
one or more supply stations (62) of a flexible strip material (96) including folding rollers (66) for
sequentially folding the strip material into cellular structures and feeding the cellular
structures into a conveyor where the cellular structures are held in compression. The
apparatus further includes a laminating station (68) where the folded cellular structures are
laminated to an upper and/or lower sheet material to which lines of a bonding medium (74)
have been applied prior to engagement with the cellular structures. The folded
cellular structures are heated (176) before engaging the sheet material so as to enhance the
bonding of the sheet material to the cellular structures and subsequent to bonding, the
laminate is passed through a cooling station (227) to set the bonding medium. Downstream
from the laminating station, the laminate passes through a side edge folding station (80)
where edges of the sheet material are folded over side edges of the laminate to finish
the side edges of the laminate and subsequently the laminate is passed into a cutter (82) for
cutting the continuous laminate into predetermined lengths. Ends of the cut panels
then receive rigid edge strips (86) to fully finish the panel. The method of the invention
includes the steps performed by the components of the apparatus.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for polling stations that transmit periodic
traffic streams are disclosed. The illustrative embodiment polls the station in
accordance with a polling schedule that is generated to reduce the delay between (i)
when the station queues a frame, and (ii) when the station transmits the frame. This
reduces the waiting time of the frame in the station, and is, therefore, especially
advantageous for latency-sensitive applications such as voice and video
telecommunications. In accordance with the illustrative embodiment, a station that
expects to periodically queue a frame for transmission sends a pol ling request to the
polling coordinator, which request enables the polling coordinator to generate an
advantageous polling schedule.
