Abstract: L'invention concerne un système, un procédé, et un produit-programme informatique de paiement et d'observation des soins de santé. Ce système, ce procédé, et ce produit-programme informatique facilitent l'observation des règles régissant la couverture par un tiers payeur des soins de santé fournis à un bénéficiaire par un fournisseur. L'observation des règles vise à simplifier et à accélérer le procédé de distribution de soins de santé à des bénéficiaires et à assurer le remboursement des fournisseurs par des tiers payeurs. Un tiers payeur fournit ses règles régissant la couverture des soins de santé au système de la présente invention. Un bénéficiaire commande alors à un fournisseur un produit ou un service de soin de santé couvert par l'assurance maladie. Le système applique alors les règles de couverture fournies afin de déterminer le taux de couverture du tiers payeur pour la commande. Sur la base de cette détermination, le fournisseur peut automatiquement facturer le tiers payeur pour la part de la valeur de la commande couverte par le tiers payeur. Après application des règles de couverture fournies, le système convertit les codes de produits soumis par le fournisseur en codes de produits plus spécifiques. Les codes de produits convertis sont alors fournis au tiers payeur. Le système peut être appliqué aux soins de santé auxiliaires couverts par l'assurance maladie.

Abstract: Le ~VeloCano~ est un moyen de transport d'agrément non motorisé destiné principalement à l'usage des villégiateurs amateurs de lacs et de rivières. Le pédalo et le canoë (kayac) qui ont tous deux fait florès depuis maintes années sont associés dans cette innovation pour produire le ~VeloCano~. Celui-ci es t non pas propulsé à l'aide d'une roue à aube (palles) ou à l'aide de rames, mais plutôt à l'aide d'un élément mécanique comprenant au moins une hélice ou turbine qui est mise en rotation de façon démultipliée sous faction des pédales. Le bien fon dé du pédalo est associée à la maniabilité du canoë (kayac). L'hélice peut-être cachée dans une tuyère située dans la coque du ~VeloCano~ pour procurer un effet de succion et produire un jet d'eau qui donne une propulsi on accrue. Ainsi constitué, cet élément mécanique est appelé ~turbine à pédales~. La ~turbine à pédales~ dont le ~VeloCano~ peut être doté est du même type qu e ce qui est utilisé pour les motos-marines mais toutefois sans moteur, la turbin e ou l'hélice étant mise en rotation sous l'action des pédales. Il est possible de manoeuvrer le ~VeloCano~ au moyen d'un guidon ou d'u ne manette qui peut être actionnée vers la droite ou vers la gauche ou encore e n utilisant tout simplement une rame. Le ~VeloCano~ peut être proposéen version monocoque pour s'apparenter a u canoë (kayac) actuel, mais il peut être également proposé en version multicoque. La position assise du ou des villégiateur(s) qui utilise la dite embarcation ainsi que l'ensemble constituant le «VeloCano» sont étudiés de façon à améliorer le confort, la stabilité, la maniabilité, l'aérodynamisme et l'ergonomie. Le «VeloCano» peut exister en version monoplace et biplace principalemen t.

Abstract: For connecting the end of a supplemental vessel to the side of a body vessel, which has a greater diameter than the supplemental vessel, use is made of a sleeve whose one end portion is expandable for the forming of an annular end flange. As a result, the supplemental vessel, after being passed through the sleeve in the direction of the expandable end portion and folding back at least over the expandable end portion, is formable into a collar, both sides of which enclose the annular end flange inside the supplemental vessel and internally surround an opening formed therein. The distal portion of the sleeve to be inserted into the body vessel may comprise a memory material enabling the end flange to be formed without using the balloon.
