Filed: 1998-05-22
Abstract: A cylindrical, fibrous, porous joint spacer is provided, having excellent properties, flexibility of formation, and operability, which is intended to be implanted as a prosthesis between bones (8,9) to be joined together. The joint spacer of the present invention can be formed from a strip of fabric (1), which is comprised of bioabsorbable fibers and made by a knitting, weaving, non-woven or other technique. The fabric (1) is typically relatively narrow (e.g. 1 to 10 mm wide) and thin (e.g. 0.1 to 1.0 mm thick), depending on the intended application of the prosthetic device to be formed from the fabric (1). The joint spacer of the present invention is made by wrapping said fabric (1) to yield a cylindrical body (2); and fixing the free end of the fabric (1) to the surface of the cylindrical body (2) so formed. The joint spacer of the present invention can be implanted in conjunction with one or more fixation parts (14',14''), to hold the joint spacer in place between the bones (15,16) to be joined. <IMAGE>A cylindrical, fibrous, porous joint spacer is provided, having excellent properties, flexibility of formation, and operability, which is intended to be implanted as a prosthesis between bones (8,9) to be joined together.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un contrôleur de processus de polymérisation discontinu pour lequel on utilise une détection inférentielle pour déterminer la chaleur de réaction intégrée, laquelle est à son tour utilisée pour indiquer le degré de polymérisation de la charge de mélange de réaction. On utilise pour ce système une température de réaction comparée à une température voulue, le résultat étant utilisé en tant que retour d'information pour surveiller et contrôler le processus. Dans une version de ce contrôleur de processus, on utilise également un signal prévisionnel correspondant à une indication sur la chaleur de réaction intégrée provenant d'un modèle de processus. Dans une autre version du contrôleur de processus, on compare la chaleur de réaction intégrée à une chaleur de réaction intégrée voulue, le résultat étant utilisé comme un autre retour d'information destiné à surveiller et à contrôler le processus. On peut utiliser des profils de production de chaleur et de température de réaction, de même que les équations thermocinétiques, pour analyser le processus de polymérisation, les modèles de réacteurs utilisés par le contrôleur de processus pouvant servir à optimiser le processus de polymérisation en termes d'utilisation rationnelle d'eau de refroidissement et de polymérisation voulue de chaque charge de mélange.

Abstract: Apparatus and method are disclosed by which a
distal end portion of a wire may be deposited at
selected sites in body passageways. The apparatus
includes an elongate wire having a distal end section
for detachment and delivery to a target location, the
wire also having a discontinuity located rearwardly of
the distal end section for rupturing when vibrational
energy is applied to the wire. Also included is a
vibrational energy source couplable to the proximal
end of the wire for selectively applying vibrational
energy to the wire to travel to the discontinuity and
cause detachment of the end section. The
discontinuities may take the form of cuts formed in
the wire, reduced diameter sections in the wire,
adhesive, welded or soldered couplings between the
wire and the distal end section, or the wire
transitioning from the wire to a large mass disposed
on the distal end section.

wireless packet switched network, wherein each encoding step comprises
encoding two different portions of the header using two different
encoding techniques. The Class I bits and a portion of the header may be
encoded using a convolution code. The remainder of the header may be
encoded using a block code. 
     The speech frames may be for transmission on the up-link of a
wireless packet switched network, wherein the Class I bits and the
common header are encoded using a convulition code.

Abstract: An apparatus and method permit a first, fully loaded base station (13)
controlled by a first operator to utilise the unused resources of a second
base station (15) controlled by a second operator in a time division
duplex cellular communications system. The first base station (13)
monitors broadcast channel of the second base station (15) and identifies
time slots within the time frame structure and at an assigned carrier
frequency which are unused by the second base station (15). It then
calculates a new time frame structure and sets up a communications link
with a subscriber (17) on the assigned carrier frequency during those
time slots which avoid contention with the operations of the second base
station (15). The invention, advantageously, does not require
synchronisation of the different operator's base stations (13, 15).
