Title: Appareil destine a fusionner des structures osseuses adjacentes
Inventor: WINSLOW CHARLES J
IPC: A61F2/46
Filed: 1997-10-22
Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil destiné à faciliter la fusion de structures osseuses adjacentes (V1, V2), comprenant un implant (100) configuré en vue d'une insertion à l'intérieur d'un espace défini entre deux structures osseuses adjacentes (V1, V2). Cet implant (100) comprend une partie extrémité d'entrée (114) et une partie extrémité arrière (122), et définit une axe longitudinal. L'implant (100) comprend au moins une partie longitudinale (102) de dimensions généralement elliptiques en section transversale, avec une dimension transversale majeure (a) supérieure à une dimension transversale mineure (b). L'invention concerne également un système (200) destiné à pratiquer un forage dans une vertèbre adjacente (V1, V2) pour faciliter l'insertion d'un implant de fusion (100), comprenant un écarteur chirurgical (220) pourvu d'un élément manchon (210) ayant des parties d'extrémités distale (214) et proximale (212), et définissant une ouverture longitudinale, et un instrument de forage (204) pouvant être positionné à l'intérieur de l'ouverture longitudinale de l'écarteur chirurgical (202). Cet écarteur (202) est configuré pour être inséré au moins partiellement dans un espace intervertébral, entre des vertèbres opposées adjacentes (V1, V2), afin d'écarter ces vertèbres adjacentes (V1, V2) en vue d'atteindre une position d'écartement prédéterminée voulue. Au moins un élément d'ancrage peut être associé à cet écarteur chirurgical (202) pour faciliter le montage de ce dernier sur la vertèbre (V1, V2). L'instrument de forage (204) comprend un élément allongé (220) doté d'un passage longitudinal, et définissant au moins une surface de coupe distale, et un élément foret (224) placé à l'intérieur de l'élément allongé (220) et doté d'une tête de foret distale. Cet élément foret (224) tourne à l'intérieur de l'élément allongé (220) et est également fixé longitudinalement à l'élément allongé (220), de telle sorte que l'avance de l'élément foret (224) à l'intérieur de l'écarteur (202) provoque l'avance correspondante de l'élément allongé (220), de sorte que la surface de coupe distale de l'élément allongé (220) et la tête de foret distale de l'élément foret (224) coopèrent pour découper un alésage non circulaire, p. ex. de forme elliptique, dans la vertèbre adjacente (V1, V2). De préférence, l'élément allongé (220) de l'instrument de forage (204) comprend une première et une deuxième surface de coupe distale diamétralement opposées. Ces surfaces de coupe peuvent être de forme arquée.

Abstract: The present invention concems a method and an apparatus for producing a
disk of pizza dough ready for filling and baking using the centrifugal force. The
system expanding the pizza dough under the influence of the centrifugal force
is known for a long time. The pizzaiolo (pizza baker) apply it twirling the disk of
dough (overhead) in the room for expanding its diameter. Other known mechanical
systems for this purpose provide very complicated devices equipped
with radially oscillating levers which should guide the dough in its radial expansion.
The present invention on the other hand is characterized in that the expansion
of the diameter of the disk of dough under the influence of the centrifugal
force is effected using an apparatus of very simple design consisting essentially
of two plates (2, 3) arranged coaxial one supported by the other. The
method proposed presupposes that the dough be prepared first as a preliminary
disk (1) of dough the diameter of which ranges between a third to one half
of the desired final diameter of the dough disk, and that this preliminary disk
(1) be subject to the influence of the centrifugal force in a room determined on
both sides by two rotating plane surfaces. 
     The great simplicity of the apparatus realising the present invention permits its
large scale application in every small pizzeria.

Abstract: Since a conventional adaptive equalizer handles an update quantity control
parameter µ as a fixed value, the update quantity control parameter µ is not optimized
adaptively to variation of a channel state and the BER characteristic is deteriorated.
Thereupon, the invention controls a parameter µ for controlling the update quantity of
updating the impulse response of a channel by the adaptive algorithm operating portion 2
according to an estimated BER value, by performing a BER estimating process by the BER
estimating portion 4 and performing an update quantity control parameter adjusting
process by the update quantity control parameter adjusting portion 5, and increases the
parameter µ so that it follows variation of a channel state in an environment where the
channel state is bad and severely varies and decreases the parameter µ in a good
environment where the channel state varies little, and thereby reduces deterioration in BER
characteristic which could have been caused by a fact that the value of µ is not optimized
adaptively to variation of a channel state.
