Abstract: On décrit des procédés de distribution de logiciels électroniques (figure) dans lesquels des logiciels peuvent être emballés par leur éditeur de manière directe et protégée (par compression et stockage dans un seul fichier), mais cependant de manière à permettre l'ajout d'informations par des partenaires du circuit de distribution en aval, par exemple des distributeurs et des commerçants (revendeurs). Des politiques de distribution ou des règles commerciales (ensemble de règles de distribution) régissant le processus de distribution peuvent être établies par l'éditeur de logiciels ou peuvent être laissées à la discrétion des partenaires du circuit. Le logiciel lui-même est cependant protégé contre les manoeuvres frauduleuses ou l'infection intempestive par un virus (par cryptage et stockage dans un seul fichier). Un outil permet d'effectuer le processus d'emballage incrémentiel sans nécessiter la sophistication de la technologie informatique de la part des partenaires du circuit. L'éditeur peut utiliser un outil d'exploitation conventionnel de son choix pour préparer un ensemble de fichiers d'exploitation pour la distribution (par fabrication d'un produit pouvant être installé par un utilisateur terminal). C'est-à-dire que l'outil d'emballage n'influence pas le choix de l'éditeur pour ce qui concerne les outils d'exploitation.

Abstract: A method for purifying thrombin substrates and/or inhibitors characterized by involving the step of effecting affinity chromatography
with the use of an affinity adsorbent having thrombin or its analogue from which the activity (nucleophilicity) has been taken off without
inducing any steric hindrance in binding, as a ligand, to the substrates and/or inhibitors. This method aims at efficiently, safely and stably
purifying inexpensive and highly pure thrombin substrates and/or inhibitors by using a novel and inexpensive separation/purification means
with the use of a convenient separation/purification procedure and a small number of purification/separation steps. By using the above
method, blood coagulation factors VIII and XIII, protein C, etc. can be purified at a high purity in a high yield as compared with the
conventional purification methods.

Abstract: A tissue drill for reduced-trauma tissue ablation includes an optical fiber and a handpiece. The optical fiber has an inlet for receiving laser energy from a laser energy source and an outlet for emitting laser energy. The handpiece is adapted to receive the optical fiber in a controlled and movable relationship. In use, a distal end of the handpiece is placed against tissue to be ablated. The optical fiber is advanced beyond the distal end of the handpiece and into the tissue while emitting laser energy. The emitted laser energy ablates the tissue as the optical fiber advances. The optical fiber may then be retracted from the tissue, thereby resulting in a channel formed in the tissue. The optical fiber may also rotate while advancing into the tissue. In this regard, the outlet may be offset from a rotational axis of the optical fiber to reduce the level of laser energy transferred to surrounding tissue, thereby reducing trauma to the tissue. The tissue drill is particularly suited for performing transmyocardial revascularization (TMR) and similar procedures.

Abstract: A ratchet wrench including a handle, a drive stud, and a ratchet mechanism further includes a tool release mechanism. The tool release mechanism includes a tool release actuator which forms a recess. A reversing lever is coupled to the ratchet mechanism and is movable to forward, non-ratcheting and reverse positions to select a forward ratchet direction, a non-ratcheting action, and a reverse ratchet direction, respectively, for the ratchet mechanism. The direction control element carries a protruding element that is shaped to fit into a recess in the tool release actuator when the direction control element is in the forward position, to remain outside the recess when the direction control element is in the non-ratcheting position, and to fit into the recess when the direction control element is in the reverse position. The protruding element impedes inadvertent operation of the tool release mechanism when the direction control mechanism is in either the forward or the reverse positions. The direction control element can be mounted internally or externally of the wrench, and the ratchet wheel of the ratchet mechanism can be centered by a protruding element formed on an inner surface of the handle and sized to slide within an annular recess of the ratchet wheel.

Abstract: A device (20) for producing a precisely controlled incision in a bodily surface includes a housing (22) and a lancet blade (24) carried by a lancet guide assembly (38). The lancet guide assembly (38) includes a lancet guide arm (42) mounted within the housing for pivotal movement and a guide surface (72,74). The guide surface (72,74) guides the lancet blade (24) through an arcuate cutting stroke during which the lancet blade extends through an opening (80) in the housing as the lancet guide arm is pivoted between an unfired and a fired position. The incision device also includes a trigger mechanism (30) having a trigger arm (32) mounted in the housing for pivotal movement between a ready-to-fire position and firing position. A spring element (60) is arranged within the housing such that it is an unbiased condition when the trigger arm (32) is in the ready-to-fire position and is biased as the trigger arm pivots towards the firing position. The trigger mechanism (30) and spring element (60) are configured such that the biased spring element is released when the trigger arm (32) reaches the firing position and the spring is arranged such that when it is released it exerts a force on the lancet guide arm (42) which pivots the guide arm from the unfired to the fired position and thereby moves the lancet blade (24) through the cutting stroke.
