Abstract: Une installation de moulage dessert des moules à grappe à niveaux multiples. Les jeux de moules et les canaux d'alimentation sont constitués de sections modulaires interchangeables individuellement ou sous la forme de grands ensembles pour échanger des moules, pour une seule pièce, pour les moules d'autres parties, ou pour échanger des canaux d'alimentation entre des types de pointes chaudes et des obturateurs pour fournir différentes installations de moulage. L'installation préconisée comporte des trajets de coulée discrets pour chaque niveau de moule, au moins certains d'entre eux étant aux alentours, plutôt que dans les niveaux de moules, et qui incorporent des raccords distincts. Ce procédé permet de permuter un jeu de moules et, peut-être bien aussi, les canaux d'alimentation, pour un seul niveau de moules à permuter, sans modifier l'installation des moules et canaux d'alimentation, pour un niveau adjacent.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE This invention relates to a method of forming a three-dimensional (3D) dosimetric map in a solid translucent or transparent polymer and to an article of manufacture comprising a polymer formulated to capture data imparted by incident penetrating radiation. The present invention provides a method of preparation of a solid translucent or transparent polymer matrix capable of detecting and displaying a dose or doses of penetrating radiation by forming within the polymeric matrix a 3D dosimetric map which is measurable and quantifiable by various known procedures. The dosimetric map is representative of the 3D distribution of the dose or doses of the penetrating radiation to which the polymer had been exposed and can be quantified at high spatial resolution, thereby providing an accurate, stable, storable record in three dimensions of the radiation exposure or dosing event(s).

Title: Tinnitus treatment with aggregate spectrum acoustic signal (asas)
Inventor: SOMMER DANIEL
IPC: A61F11/00
Filed: 2006-10-10
Abstract: Tinnitus (perception without concomitant acoustic stimulus in the environment) and hyperacusis (auditory hypersensitivity), are very prevalent in the general population and can impair dramatically the quality of life.  Here, we present a neurophysiological model postulating that these "aberrant"  perceptions are caused by the central changes induced by the decrease in afferent inputs related to a hearing loss. This model suggests that the compensation of the decrease in afferent inputs (related to hearing loss) could reverse the "maladaptive" central changes potentially causing tinnitus and/or hyperacusis. The present study challenged this hypothesis: subjects presenting tinnitus (and for some hyperacusis as well) were stimulated (few hours a day) over a period of 15 weeks with a stimulus designed to specifically stimulate the frequency range of hearing loss. The acoustic stimulation, called the "Aggregate Spectrum Acoustic Signal" (ASAS), is expected to restore uniform sensory inputs across audible frequencies. This ASAS stimulation decreases severity significantly.
