Abstract: Improved concrete, metallic and/or mixed, modular tower structure, for eolic turbines and other applications, made up of a plurality of prefabricated concrete, metallic and/or mixed elements with smooth, rough and stamped surface textures. Each tower (1) is divided into horizontal and vertical sections, where the elements (2) are formed by prefabricated concrete, metallic and/or mixed elements which are partial segments (3) of a revolution surface with a straight or curved generatrix. Those segments are linked by different means, by flanges (5, 6) made up by an internal rim (4) on the end edges, or by a set of metallic straps (7). The present invention facilitates the use of prefabricated concrete structures, metallic or mixed, for this specific purpose, and substantially simplifies the transport, installation and assembly, improving the technical capabilities available at the present State of the Art and with an important reduction in cost.

Abstract: A novel canola protein isolate consisting predominantly of 2S canola protein and having improved solubility properties, has an increased proportion of 2S canola protein and a decreased proportion of 7S canola protein. The novel canola protein isolate is formed by heat treatment of aqueous supernatant from canola protein micelle formation and precipitation, to effect precipitation of 7S protein which is sedimented and removed. Alternatively, the novel canola protein isolate may be derived from a selective membrane procedure in which an aqueous canola protein solution containing 12S, 7S and 2S canola proteins is subjected to a first selective membrane technique to retain 12S and 7S canola proteins in a retentate, which is dried to provide a canola protein isolate consisting predominantly of 7S canola protein, and to permit 2S canola protein to pass through the membrane, the permeate is subjected to a second selective membrane technique to retain 2S canola protein and to permit low molecular weight contaminants to pass through the membrane, and the retentate from the latter membrane technique is dried.

Granted: 2011-01-18
Abstract: The invention relates to an intervertebral implant (1) comprising a known head (2) having a conical section (13) and an external thread (14). A central section (5, 6, 7, 8) consisting of a plurality of struts extending from the head (2) to a base structure (3) is formed on the head (2). As a result, large-surface windows (9, 10, 15 11, 12) are open between the head (2) and the struts (5, 6, 7, 8) and the base structure (3). According to said invention, the external thread (14) of the head (2) is formed on the conical section (13) and the external end section of the head (2) is formed by The protective elevation (15) which is convexly curved, from the outside view, and is devoid of sharp edges. The inventive intervertebral implant (1) makes it possible to carry out a complete distraction, in particular including the ventral circumference of the adjacent vertebral bodies (30, 31) by eliminating the risk of injury of an adjacent hollow vein or aorta. Simultaneously, a lordosis can be adjusted by selecting the intervertebral implant (1) geometry. A  surgical method for spondylodesis of a lumbar vertebral column by using said intervertebral implant (1) is also disclosed.

Abstract: The invention relates to acquiring information concerning the hemodynamic status of the brain (or any other organ) by measuring and analysing the pulsatile properties of blood flow (velocities) in the organ's feeding vessels in relation to the pulsatile properties of the systemic arterial blood pressure. Provided is a system for the analysis of arterial blood flow velocity measurements, comprising means for receiving input signals delivered by an arterial blood flow velocity (FV) sensor and by an arterial blood pressure (BP) sensor, wherein said FV and BP signals are recorded simultaneously and continuously, further comprising means for processing and outputting signals, wherein said processing comprises calculating the pulsatile apparent resistance (PaR) or the Pulse Flow Velocity Mismatch (PFVM). Plotting PAR or PFVM against mean arterial blood pressure and/or end tidal C02 levels can serve as an indicator for the effectiveness of imposed therapy.

Abstract: Appareil pour l'arrosage automatique d'une plante dans un contenant en régulant l'écoulement de l'eau dans un tube flexible vers le contenant. Des éléments de mâchoires supérieurs et inférieurs sont interconnectés par un axe de pivotement horizontal afin qu'ils puissent exercer une pression à la manière de ciseaux. Une zone de mâchoire est formée sur un côté de l'axe de pivotement afin d'y loger le tube de plastique flexible, et un ressort de compression est monté sur le côté opposé afin de fournir une résistance à la fermeture de la zone de mâchoire. Utilisé avec des pots et d'autres contenants non suspendus, le contenant repose sur l'élément de mâchoire supérieur, sur le côté de la zone de mâchoire, de sorte que le poids du contenant agit de façon directe afin de compresser et de fermer la zone de mâchoire. Des paniers et d'autres contenants suspendus sont suspendus à l'autre extrémité des mâchoires de sorte que la tension causée par le poids du contenant entraîne la zone de mâchoire à pivoter en position fermée. Le séchage du contenant réduit son poids, entraînant ainsi le ressort à forcer l'ouverture de la zone de mâchoire et permettant à l'eau de s'écouler par le tube flexible. Pendant que l'eau s'écoule dans le contenant, le poids accru fait en sorte que la zone de mâchoire se referme et pince le tube flexible afin d'arrêter l'écoulement. Le dispositif est réglable par l'augmentation ou la diminution de la compression du ressort de manière à augmenter ou à réduire la résistance à la fermeture de la zone de mâchoire.
