Abstract: L'appareil de l'invention étire en toute sécurité le ligament carpien et le ligament annulaire du carpe, ainsi que les structures superficielles et les muscles de la main, sous la surveillance étroite du patient ou d'un professionnel de la santé. Dans un premier mode de réalisation, l'appareil comprend un boîtier destiné à recevoir la main du patient, qui présente une partie inférieure comprenant un premier élément de pression placé de façon à entrer en contact avec la région de l'hypothénar de la main du patient, un deuxième élément de pression placé de façon à entrer en contact avec la région du thénar de la main du patient, et une partie supérieure comprenant un élément de pression longitudinal central placé de façon à entrer en contact avec la région dorsale longitudinale centrale de la main du patient. Le premier et le deuxième éléments de pression sont connectés à des sources (ou une source) de pression actives si bien que, lorsque la main est introduite dans le boîtier, le premier et le deuxième éléments de pression sont activés et exercent une pression sur les régions de l'hypothénar et du thénar respectives de la main pendant que la partie dorsale centrale de la main subit la pression du troisième élément de pression. Les régions de l'hypothénar et du thénar sont ainsi écartées l'une de l'autre, ce qui étire avantageusement le ligament carpien, le ligament annulaire du carpe, et les structures superficielles et muscles de la main. Dans un autre mode de réalisation de l'invention, le troisième élément de pression est également connecté à une source de pression active, si bien qu'une pression active est exercée sur la région dorsale centrale de la main pendant que le premier et le deuxième éléments de pression exercent une pression sur les régions de l'hypothénar et du thénar de la main.

Abstract: The object of the present invention is to realize a
radio wave detecting apparatus that can perform carrier
sense of radio waves subjected to spread spectrum with a
simple configuration. A spread code is multiplied by an
information signal S1, the band is spread, and a spread
information signal S7 is generated. A beacon signal S10 in
a predetermined band is synthesized with the above spread
information signal S7, and the synthesized signal is
transmitted as a radio wave. Furthermore, only a signal
component in a predetermined band is extracted from a
received radio wave, so that a beacon signal S11 is
separated. The presence of a radio wave is detected based
on the receiving power of the separated beacon signal S11.
If the presence of the above radio wave is detected, the
transmission of the radio wave is stopped.
