Abstract: An apparatus, and method for endometrial ablation by heating an inflation medium within a distensible bladder positioned within a uterus of a patient. The apparatus comprises an elongate tubular member, a handle, a distensible bladder and a heating element disposed within said distensible bladder. The system includes a controller configured for providing and regulating electric current to the heating element. The controller also includes a pressure sensor for regulating the pressure in the distensible bladder. Pressure and temperature displays and other operator controls are located on the controller unit. The method for performing endothelial ablation comprises inserting the distensible bladder and a portion of the tubular member into a uterus of a patient. The inflation medium within the distensible bladder is heated by providing electric current to the resistive wire of the heating element. The inflation medium within the distensible bladder is heated to a desired temperature and temperature and pressure within the distensible bladder are maintained for a desired time interval. The distensible bladder is then deflated and removed from the uterus.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un contenant à fines parois facilement écrasable (11), dont le fond fait partie intégrante ou dont le fond est une partie rapportée par soudure, et qui renferme un produit comestible (10) devant être stérilisé. Le contenant vide est doté d'une extrémité rapportée ou intégrée pouvant avoir une pente concave par rapport à la structure interne. Un gaz inerte liquéfié ou solidifié est ensuite introduit dans le contenant que l'on ferme hermétiquement au moyen d'une extrémité à forme concave (13) avant la vaporisation complète du gaz inerte liquéfié ou solidifié. Les extrémités ne subissent aucun renflement sous l'effet de la pression induite par la stérilisation, cette pression étant imputable à l'effet de la mise sous pression du gaz inerte et suffisant à compenser le vide engendré par le refroidissement de la vapeur d'eau (chaude) au-dessus du produit comestible. Le système de pression en question permet d'obtenir la rigidité requise.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un capteur servant à la surveillance d'un catalyseur de réduction des NOx, lequel présente un matériau d'accumulation utilisé pour adsorber les NOx, ce matériau d'accumulation constituant l'élément sensible du capteur. Le degré de charge du matériau d'accumulation peut être mesuré, ce qui permet une régulation quasi linéaire de l'accumulation de NOx. Etant donné que le degré de charge du matériau d'accumulation est surveillé avec précision, la capacité d'accumulation peut être mieux exploitée et le catalyseur dimensionné de façon plus économique. La phase de conversion de l'enrichissement peut être prévue de façon plus précise et ainsi introduite de façon plus favorable dans le cycle de fonctionnement. Le capteur utilisé pour la surveillance d'un catalyseur de réduction des NOx se prête particulièrement à un montage dans le circuit d'échappement d'un moteur à combustion interne pourvu d'un dispositif d'injection directe d'essence ou d'un moteur diesel.

Abstract: The method involves measuring and correcting a frequency of a receiver oscillator, whereby digital data to be transferred are high-frequency modulated on a carrier signal. The data are transferred as usage signals (D), alternating with low-frequency modulated test signals (T), and a frequency difference between a nominal frequency of a transmitter oscillator and an actual frequency of a receiver oscillator is determined at the reception of the digital signals in response to the test signals. A control signal for the adjustment of the receiver oscillator on the nominal frequency is derived from the determined frequency difference. The frequency difference is preferably equalized in multiple stages, whereby the individual stages build onto each other.

A first soft metric generator produces a soft metric of the encoded bit in each symbol and one or more second soft metric generators generate a soft metric of the or each uncoded bit in each symbol. A turbo decoder decodes the soft metric of the encoder bit so as to produce a hard value and a soft estimate of the encoded bit. A turbo encoder encode the hard value of the encoded bit to produce a reconstruction of the encoded bit and two parity bits. A puncture module punctures the parity bits once. One or more hard decision modules produce a hard decision for the or each uncoded bit of each symbol. <IMAGE>
