Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions et des procédés qui permettent de traiter et de modifier des surfaces et d'améliorer l'apport d'agents actifs aux surfaces traitées à l'aide de ces compositions. Ces compositions comprennent des polymères siloxane fonctionnalisés par des fractions latérales comprenant deux ou plusieurs groupes anioniques, au moins un des groupes anioniques étant un groupe carboxy. Lorsqu'elle est appliquée à une surface appropriée, la présente composition forme un revêtement sensiblement hydrophobe du polymère siloxane anionique fonctionnalisé sur la surface traitée. Ces polymères se déposent efficacement sur des surfaces qui comportent des sites cationiques, lesquels peuvent former des liaisons ou des chaînons avec les groupes anioniques du polymère. La surface traitée devient hydrophobe en raison du dépôt de polymère siloxane fonctionnalisé anionique, lequel apporte à cette surface divers avantages d'utilisation finale, tels qu'une propriété facilitant le nettoyage et le lavage, l'élimination et la prévention des taches, le conditionnement, etc. Le polymère siloxane anionique fonctionnalisé agit également comme un tensioactif déposant les agents actifs sur la surface et améliorant la rétention et l'efficacité des agents actifs sur la surface traitée. Les compositions selon l'invention peuvent être utiles dans diverses applications, notamment les soins buccaux, les soins des cheveux et de la peau, l'hygiène personnelle, la cosmétique et le nettoyage et le conditionnement des tissus et des surfaces dures.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé et un appareil de découverte de services de données par paquets. Une liste noire courante comprenant des entrées pour des réseaux sans fil ne fournissant pas de services de données par paquets (par ex. des réseaux sans fil qui ne supportent pas lesdits services ou qui ne bénéficient pas d'un accord d'itinérance pour les services de données par paquets) est sauvegardée dans la mémoire du dispositif mobile et est fondée sur les tentatives antérieures de connexion à de tels réseaux. Des listes courantes d'itinérance préférée permettent de déterminer si un réseau sans fil donné peut être acquis mais ne permettent pas d'établir s'il existe un accord d'itinérance pour les services de données. Cette invention présente au moins un des avantages suivants : il n'est pas nécessaire de connaître à l'avance les accords d'itinérance relatifs aux services de données ; il n'est pas nécessaire de changer l'équipement logiciel du dispositif mobile en cas de modification des accords d'itinérance relatifs aux services de données ; le dispositif mobile peut notifier un changement d'état de réseau sans fil à un serveur ; le dispositif mobile consomme significativement moins d'énergie ; il est possible d'éviter les accès réseau inutiles, ce qui permet d'économiser les ressources et les capacités du réseau.

Abstract: A press forming machine comprising driving shafts for pressing three or more respective pressure points and displacement measuring means for measuring a displacement close to the pressure point. A central driving shaft among the driving shafts has a gap (the slack) larger than those of other driving shafts between each of the driving shafts and a pressure plate. During press formation at a trial stage, a positional displacement close to each pressure point is measured by the displacement measuring means and control data is supplied to each driving source for driving a driving shaft to drive the pressure plate. Then, production press-formation is performed in accordance with the above result. Therefore, the central driving source can avoid overload by the slack of the driving shaft with the pressure plate.

Title: Fracture fixation system
Inventor: MEDOFF ROBERT J
IPC: A61B17/80
Filed: 2004-06-25
Granted: 2012-03-06
Abstract: A fracture fixation system in which a plate is secured to stable bone and posts are inserted at varying angles into an unstable bone fragment by engaging in rotatable bearings which are fixedly secured in the plate when the posts are fully engaged in the bone fragment. The bearings are formed as truncated spherical members having a number of longitudinal slots extending partway along the length of the bearing to form petals which are expanded outwardly when the posts are advanced in the bearing to produce non-uniform distribution of forces between the bearing and the plate which generate force couples to resist angulation of the posts and loss of fracture fixation.  Various other ways of producing non-uniform force distribution are described.
