Abstract: L"invention concerne un implant intervertébral se présentant sous la forme d"un corps d"appui (1) qui comprend une traverse centrale (2) et deux parties latérales (3, 4) solidaires de cette traverse centrale (2) et ne formant qu"une seule pièce avec celle-ci. Les parties latérales (3, 4) sont disposées dans deux plans (5, 6) s"étendant sensiblement parallèlement l"un par rapport à l"autre et séparés par la traverse (2), lesquels peuvent être appliqués, en tant que surface d"appui, sur des corps vertébraux adjacents. La traverse (2) comporte un cylindre de guidage (7) creux qui s"étend sensiblement parallèlement aux parties latérales (3, 4) et entre celles-ci, et comporte au moins un filetage (8; 28). Un dispositif d"écartement peut être introduit entre les parties latérales. L"implant intervertébral selon l"invention offre les avantages suivant: le rayon de lordose naturelle de la colonne vertébrale peut être rétabli de façon spécifique chez un patient, et cet angle peut être déterminé avant l"opération; l"on obtient ainsi, pour l"implant, des conditions de départ optimales de croissance interne; on fait appel à une technique d"insertion atraumatique, étant donné que l"implant peut être vissé avec délicatesse et de manière maîtrisée, au lieu d"être chassé; et l"on peut mettre en oeuvre une technique d"opération en trois étapes simplifiée (également avec effraction minimale) grâce à l"utilisation d"une tige de guidage.

Abstract: This invention provides a method for prolonging the preservation of human blood platelets at reduced temperatures. The method uses an inhibitor system that enables blood platelets to maintain their discoid shape and retain their functional integrity during storage. This is accomplished by interrupting normal platelet function during storage, so as to help keep platelets from activating and losing their shape. Before using the platelets in a transfusion, they are returned to their normal functional level by washing the inhibitor system away from the platelets.

Abstract: The drawing tools roll on rigid guide tracks in an endless loop so that opposing tools press on the work material and pick it up through frictional contact. The pressing forces of the drawing tools in the area in which the tools come into contact with the tube, are supported by load-bearing rollers which in an endless loop are picked up between the inner surfaces of the draw members and the rigid guide. Two rollers (7) joined at both ends by tabs (9) and located on bolts (8) are assembled to form a carriage-type roller component. A number of those roller components are accommodated on the face side, loosely located one on the other, in the endlessly formed guide tracks (10), which are arranged in the plane of the draw chains (1).

Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for extracting resin from plant material. Conventionally, plant resins, which are useful in many products, are extracted using chemical solvents, which may alter the extract, and may produce a byproduct or residue that may be unusable or problematic. The present invention overcomes these drawbacks by using cold water in a wash process to cause the resins to become brittle, while the remaining plant material becomes more flexible. Separation is accomplished using an extractor (10) having a washing chamber (12) with an open top (14) and a screen filter (16) disposed above a settling chamber (18). A collection bottle (24) is placed below a valve (22), and may include a filter (26) to separate resin particles from the solute. The washing chamber is first filled with cold water and then a quantity of plant material (P) is placed therein, followed by an ice layer (30). An agitator (32) is then actuated to mix the contents to separate the resins. The settled resin is thereafter captured by the filter (26) upon opening the valve (22).

Abstract: A power controller (10) provides a distributed generation power networking system in which bi-directional power converters (14, 16, 22) are used with a common DC bus (24) for permitting compatibility between various energy components (12, 18, 20). Each power converter operates essentially as a customized bi-directional switching converter configured, under the control of the power controller, to provide an interface for a specific energy component to the DC bus. The power controller controls the way in which each energy component, at any moment, will sink or source power, and the manner in which the DC bus is regulated. In this way, various energy components can be used to supply, store and/or use power in an efficient manner. The various energy components include energy sources, loads, storage devices and combinations thereof.

Abstract: An improved bituminized flame-retardant textile material is provided that effectively overcomes bitumin adhesion difficulties associated with products of the prior art wherein the flame-retardant present on the surface of a textile support interfers with and hinders the achievement of bitumin adhesion. An anti-flame agent is applied in a quantity of 20 to 100 grams per square meter over 30 to 90 percent of the upper surface of the textile support. The remaining portions of the upper-surface of the textile support are free of the anti-flame agent. It surprisingly has been found that the surface portions of the textile support that are free of the anti-flame agent provide areas for the achievement of optimum bitumin adhesion with the textile support while still making possible entirely satisfactory flame retardancy for the overall product.

Abstract: An enhanced handoff signaling method is disclosed that provides a short negotiation time by avoiding the need to downgrade and upgrade, provides greater efficiency by preventing calls from being dropped due to unsuccessful negotiation after the mobile station has moved to the target system, and minimizes the signaling load on the spectrum during handoff negotiations. The method includes the steps of negotiating air interface attributes that the target system can grant, sending a single message to the mobile station to order the mobile station to execute a handoff and to convey granted air interface attributes to the mobile station and executing a handoff of the mobile station to channels on the target system in accordance with the granted air interface attributes. Accordingly, a channel is not dropped even when the target system supports air interface attributes different from the source system. Further, the negotiating is performed solely over wireline links between the source system and the target system, and no negotiation involving the mobile station is required.

Abstract: A tape material (1) comprising a support layer (2) and a thin-layer magnetic material (3), which is placed onto the support layer (2), serves as a security material. In a surveillance zone the thin-layer magnetic material (3) emits a characteristic signal for the electronic surveillance of articles. The aim is to provide a tape material which allows for simple application of thin-layer materials on any support materials. To this end a transfer layer (4), which can be melted by pressure and/or heat, is provided for on the thin-layer material (3), and the adhesion between the support layer (2) and the thin-layer material (3) is less than the adhesion between the thin-layer material (3) and the transfer layer (4). Consequently, a hot-pressing die (7) may be utilized to transfer a desired area of the thin-layer material (3), via the transfer layer (4), onto the article (6a) or another support layer (6b).
