Abstract: The double acting pyrotechnic actuator (1) incorporates two pyrotechnic charges (8a,8b) each connected to distinct chambers (4a,4b) separated by a piston (5). The actuator positioning method consists of successively controlling the two charges in sequence so as to ensure, by the action of the second charge, a braking of the piston displacement which was controlled by the first charge. The time gap between the initiation of each charge is chosen to ensure the desired positioning of the piston. Independent claims are included for a pyrotechnic actuator and a vehicle defense device implementing the method.

Abstract: A system and method for ablating a selected portion of a contact surface of biological tissue is provided. The system includes an elongated ablation sheath having a preformed shape adapted to substantially conform a predetermined surface thereof with the contact surface of the tissue. The elongated ablation sheath includes a non-permeable portion. The ablation sheath defines an ablation lumen sized to slideably receive an elongated ablative device longitudinally therethrough. The ablative device includes a flexible ablation element selectively generating an ablative field sufficiently strong to cause tissue ablation. Advancement of the ablation element slideably through the ablation lumen of the ablation sheath selectively places the ablation element along the ablation path for guide ablation on the contact surface when the predetermined surface is in strategic contact therewith. The ablation lumen and the ablative device cooperate to position the ablation element proximate to the ablation sheath predetermined surface for selective ablation of the selected portion within the ablative field.

Abstract: In order to provide a lumbar support which conforms to the curve of the spinal column so as not to give a feeling of incompatibility or other unpleasant feeling, and is easily adjusted to meet a user's preference, a lumbar support 10 of the present invention is structured such that a bulging member 30 provided with two housing parts 31 and 32 to house a cushioning material for adjustment 34 is fixed on the back surface of a flexible plate 20, which is incorporated so that the front surface of the flexible plate 20 is positioned to the front surface side of a back cushion 120. Accordingly, the curvature of the two housing parts 31 and 32 does not affect a feeling of contact with the waist as it is, but works as a feeling of contact with larger curvature owing to the flexible plate 20, which results in suppression of pressure on the nervous system between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae. Furthermore, by setting the width of a border region 33 between the two housing parts 31 and 32 in an appropriate range, it is possible to suppress a feeling of pressure on such a nervous system, and at the same time, to suppress any feeling of incompatibility or other unpleasant feeling caused by too large a curvature.
