Abstract: A brace for augmenting the extension of a limb. In a knee brace embodiment the brace comprises an upper arm for engaging against the femoral portion of a user's leg pivotally connected to a lower arm for engaging against the tibial portion of the user's leg. At least one compression element is fixed to one of the upper and lower arms. A substantially inelastic tensioning element such as a cord is affixed to the head through the compression element such that applying a tensile force to the cord compresses the compression element. The cord is affixed to the other arm over a tensioning member, so that applying a force to bend the knee brace to a flexed position tensions the cord and compresses the compression element. Upon removal of the flexing force the compression element applies a restoring force to urge the knee brace back to the extended position.

Abstract: L'invention porte sur une buse pour un ensemble ventilateur, qui a une entrée d'air, une sortie d'air annulaire et un passage intérieur pour transporter de l'air à partir de l'entrée d'air jusqu'à la sortie d'air. Le passage intérieur est disposé entre une paroi interne annulaire et une paroi externe s'étendant autour de la paroi interne. La paroi interne définit au moins partiellement un perçage à travers lequel de l'air à partir de l'extérieur de la buse est aspiré par de l'air émis à partir de la sortie d'air. La paroi interne est excentrique par rapport à la paroi externe, de telle sorte que la surface de section transversale du passage intérieur varie autour du perçage. La variation de la surface de section transversale dans le passage intérieur peut commander la direction dans laquelle de l'air est émis à partir de l'entourage de la sortie d'air, de façon à réduire des turbulences dans l'écoulement d'air généré par l'ensemble ventilateur.
