Abstract: The holder comprises a base (1), on which the boot shoe rests, with a raised heel support portion (2) extending the base upwards at the rear. A dorsal support (3), which extends the heel support upwards, is pivoted on the heel support along an axis (90) in the vertical median plane (P). An elastic return (4) comprising an elastomer plug in a housing (20) in the heel support opposes inclination of the dorsal support on one of the lateral sides by rotating about the axis during boot tipping. A stop (6), on the side opposite the side subjected to the elastic return force, limits or prevents inclination on the side opposite the dorsal support. The elastomer plug is compressed into the housing by a dorsal support projecting portion (30).

Abstract: A method of compensating the edge positions of a signal generated by scanning elements of a bar code, the method including the steps of lighting (17) the code and determining (20) the light (R) diffused by the code (8) to generate in response a signal (S(t)) having a substantially alternating waveform defined by a sequence of high-amplitude portions separated by and joined to low-amplitude portions by steeply sloping edges of the waveform. A number of local minimum and maximum points of the waveform are determined to determine coordinates (x) defining approximate edge positions. The coordinates (x) are then corrected (170) to generate modified coordinates (x'), each relative to a corrected position of the edge (F) compensating for any shift in the edge induced by blurring of the signal. <IMAGE>   <IMAGE>

Abstract: The method is performed by relaying data to a central site from locality-distributed data-recording sites (D1-D5) via a relay or bridging station when direct reception fails or is unreliable. The central station retrieves by radio, and stores, data from the data site. If entire data sites are not reached by the central site, the central site transmits to the achievable data sites or makes further attempts by those relay or bridging places which can be reached. The reached data places, or relay or bridge sites, thereupon try to relay the data from the initially unreached data site, either directly or indirectly by radio and retransmit to the central station. An Independent claim is included for a central recording system.

Abstract: A wafer-scale assembly apparatus for integrated circuits and a method for forming the wafer-scale assembly are disclosed. A semiconductor wafer including a plurality of circuits is provided with a plurality of metal contact pads as electrical entry and exit ports. A first wafer-scale patterned polymer film carrying solder balls for each of the contact pads on the wafer is positioned opposite the wafer, and the wafer and the film are aligned. The film is brought into contact with the wafer. Radiant energy in the near infrared spectrum is applied to the backside of the wafer, heating the wafer uniformly and rapidly without moving the semiconductor wafer. Thermal energy is transferred through the wafer to the surface of the wafer and into the solder balls, which reflow onto the contact pads, while the thermal stretching of the polymer film is mechanically compensated. The uniformity of the height of the liquid solder balls is controlled either by mechanical stoppers or by the precision linear motion of motors. After cooling, the solder balls solidify and the first polymer film is removed. The process is repeated for assembling sequentially a wafer-scale patterned interposer overlying all of the solder balls and the wafer and contacting each solder ball with a soldered joint, and a second wafer-scale patterned film carrying solder balls contacting the interposer. In each process, the wafer is heated uniformly and rapidly and without moving it, the alignment is maintained during heating by mechanically compensating for the thermal stretching of the polymer film, and the uniformity of the height of the liquid solder balls is controlled by mechanical stoppers or position closed-loop linear actuators. The second film is removed after cooling. Other embodiments are also disclosed. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un instrument de type pince de biopsie constitué d'une poignée de commande proximale, d'un élément tubulaire multi-lumière flexible, d'au moins un organe de commande s'étendant à travers la lumière, d'un dispositif d'irrigation, d'un dispositif d'aspiration et d'un ensemble distal. La poignée de commande proximale comprend un axe et une bobine montée coulissante sur l'axe. La poignée de commande est reliée aux extrémités proximales de l'élément tubulaire flexible et de l'organe de commande. Des lumières de l'élément tubulaire forment des conduits d'irrigation et d'aspiration. L'ensemble distal comprend une mâchoire cupuliforme creuse couplée au conduit d'aspiration et une mâchoire mobile creuse couplée adjacente au conduit d'irrigation. La mâchoire mobile est couplée à l'organe de commande, de sorte que l'actionnement de la poignée de commande déplace la mâchoire mobile par rapport à la mâchoire cupuliforme. La fermeture des mâchoires creuses entraîne le raccordement sensiblement étanche aux fluides des conduits d'irrigation et d'aspiration. La poignée de commande comporte également un ensemble permettant de réguler l'irrigation vers l'ensemble distal et l'aspiration à partir de celui-ci. Une chambre proximale à échantillons pourvue d'un tamis démontable permet de filtrer les échantillons de tissus aspirés par l'ensemble distal. On actionne les mâchoires pour couper un échantillon de tissu et on actionne les dispositifs d'irrigation et d'aspiration pour déplacer ledit échantillon vers la chambre à échantillons de manière à pouvoir extraire l'échantillon, sans retirer l'instrument du patient.

Abstract: Contact components (4) of the distributor have rear points of contact (16) for plugging in a contactor assembly (12). When the contactor assembly (12) is pulled, the points of contact are usually closed, such that the incoming lines are connected with the outgoing lines. By plugging in a spread plug (18) between the contact springs (15) of the contact component (4), the points of contact (16) can be opened so wide that the incoming and outgoing lines (17) are electrically separated, and are connected only via the later plugged in contactor assembly. In this way, the switching position of the points of contact (16) is permanently changed, simply and without altering the contact components (4).
