Pouch (1) designed for defibrination of a biological fluid such as blood or blood plasma, comprises an external envelope (2) forming an internal volume (6) for the fluid. The envelope has an inlet (7) and an outlet (8) for the fluid. A textile element (9) designed to fix fibres in the fluid is placed in the internal volume without subdividing it. The textile element includes at least one knitted, woven or non-woven layer and is made from a polymer or copolymer based on polyethylene, polypropylene, polyester, polyamide, polyurethane and their derivatives. The external envelope is made of two leaves (3, 3') of supple plastic material which are assembled around their periphery. The textile element is fixed on one part of the periphery of the internal volume.  Independent claims are also included for the following: (1) a system of pouches designed for the sampling and defibrination of a biological fluid such as blood or blood plasma, containing a primary fluid receiving pouch with a textile element as described above. A second fluid receiving pouch is connected to the outlet from the primary fluid receiving pouch by a second pipe which contains a filter which can retain microclots; and  (2) a defibrination process using a pouch containing a textile element as described above, with the pouch agitated for a period allowing the elimination of effectively all the fibre in the fluid. The defibrinated fluid may be transferred to a second pouch which is connected to the first by sealed and sterile means. The agitation is stopped to allow the defibrinated blood to be decanted to separate the blood serum and the blood cells.

Abstract: A femoral neck fixation prosthesis and method of using same which reduces bone loss and the avoids the other shortcomings of the prior art by allowing the fixation of a stable femoral head replacement while reducing the amount of the femur which must be reamed for the insertion of the prosthesis. The preferred embodiment provides that the femoral head is attached to a fixation prosthesis, which extends coaxially through the canal of the femoral neck, into the femur, and is then attached to the opposite lateral wall of the femur. In this manner, the prosthesis serves to imitate the original structure of the femoral neck. No other support members, either crosspins or arms extending into the length of the femur, are required.

Abstract: A handover control subsystem 400 comprises a distribution profile processor 401 determining a distribution profile for a plurality of resource categories e.g. frequency bands or operating systems. Specifically, a preferred probability for handing over to different frequency bands is determined in response to mobile capabilities, cell loading and other operational conditions. The handover control subsystem 400 further comprises a random number generator 403 for determining a stochastic value for a subscriber unit. A handover controller 409 allocates a resource from the categories of resources dependent on a preferred category selected in accordance with valves associated with the distribution profile and the random number. Thereby a distribution of resources associated with the distribution profile is obtained. The invention is particularly applicable to cellular communication systems such as GSM or UMTS.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for gasifying substances containing carbon. The substances containing carbon are fed via the transfer canal (2) into the reactor (3). When viewed in the direction of gravitational force, plasma torches (4) are arranged at the lower end of the reactor (3) and serve to produce a gaseous plasma in this case. The oxidation products, i.e. clinker, glass, ashes, are drawn downward and arrive at a solidifier (5) inside of which the oxidation products are separated, subsequently collected in the collecting bin (6), and transported away when required. The gas produced inside the reactor arrives via line (7) at the gas washer (8), inside of which the gas, by means of sprayed water, is cooled and purified. The discharging water arrives via line (9) at the collecting bin (6), inside of which water is already present whereby enabling the clinker, glass or the like to be cooled. The purified gas is fed via line (10) into the compressor (11), inside of which the gas is compressed to 2 bar and is then purified once more while passing through filter (12), and is then mixed inside the gas mixer (13) with air taken from the atmosphere, which is supplied via air filter (14), and this mixture of gas and air then arrives via line (15) in the gas engine (16) that drives a generator (17).
