Abstract: Un instrument chirurgical comprend au moins deux tubes creux oblongs (14, 15) présentant des ouvertures (18) au niveau de la partie terminale distale. Le tube intérieur (14) est disposé à l'intérieur de l'autre tube (15) et il est monté pour tourner autour de son axe longitudinal. Un outil coupant (4) est placé à l'extrémité distale du tube (14), et il est positionné adjacent aux ouvertures (18). Un moteur (5) est prévu pour faire tourner le tube intérieur (14), et le tube intérieur (14) présente une lumière centrale (21) à travers laquelle le tissu coupé par l'outil coupant (4) est retiré sous l'effet d'une source d'aspiration (12). De la chaleur est appliquée au tissu, avant ou en même temps que celui-ci est coupé, de telle manière que le tissu coupé par l'outil coupant (4) est un tissu coagulé. Dans un mode de réalisation est prévu un troisième tube (16) et une solution saline est acheminée jusqu'aux ouvertures (18) par un canal (19) entre les tubes (15 et 16). L'autre tube (16) constitue une électrode active, et le tube intérieur (14) constitue l'électrode de retour d'un dispositif électrochirurgical. Un signal de radiofréquence, fourni au dispositif électrochirurgical, provoque la coagulation du tissu avant qu'il ne soit coupé par l'outil coupant (4) ce qui a pour effet de produire de plus petits morceaux de tissus coupés qui sont plus faciles à retirer par la lumière (21).

Abstract: A data transfer control system receives a command packet ORB transferred through a bus BUS1 (IEEE 1394), issues a command indicated by ORB to a device connected to a bus BUS2 (ATA (IDE) /ATAPI), and orders start of a DMA transfer. The command issued based on ORB is aborted after the completion of the DMA transfer. The data transfer control system compares contents of a command packet ORB1 transferred before a bus reset with contents of a command packet ORB2 transferred after the bus reset. If the contents are different, a command issued based on ORB1 is aborted after completion of a DMA transfer. Dummy data is transferred between the data transfer control system and the device connected to the bus BUS2 until a DMA transfer is completed. Dummy data transfer is controlled by performing a dummy update on a pointer. <IMAGE>

Abstract: A dental implant has an extension with a head that serves as the anchorage attachment for a matching retaining element. The retaining element has a threaded anchorage pin that screws into the dental implant. The extension has a reference surface by means of which the exact position of a transfer surface is located using an accessory jig by rotation of the reference surface. The exact position of the extension is transferred by an impression of the accessory jig. A manipulative implant is then applied to the extension and repositioned in the impression. This procedure produces a model in which the defined extension form may be defined. The resulting extension is then inserted into the implant using the same torque value as employed for taking the impression.

Abstract: Cette invention concerne un procédé de production de (méth)acroléine ou d'acide (méth)acrylique par oxydation catalytique en phase vapeur de propylène, de propane ou d'isobutylène dans un réacteur d'oxydation. Ce procédé se caractérise en ce qu'on règle la température du gaz mixte de matières premières introduit dans le réacteur d'oxydation pour qu'elle soit supérieure au point de rosée de ce gaz mixte. Ce procédé permet de prévenir les variations de composition du gaz mixte de matières premières, les augmentations anormales de la température du réacteur d'oxydation et les réductions de l'activité du catalyseur et de la durée de vie de celui-ci. Cette invention permet ainsi de produire de l'acide (méth)acrylique et un dérivé de celui-ci de manière stable et hautement efficace.

Abstract: In one illustrative example, a mobile station includes a wireless transceiver; a user interface including a Push-To-Talk (PTT) switch for initiating a PTT voice communication and a microphone for receiving voice input signals; one or more processors; and memory (e.g. a First-In-First-Out (FIFO) buffer memory) coupled to the one or more processors. The one or more processors are operative to identify a user actuation of the PTT switch and, in response, save digital voice data corresponding to voice input signals in the memory; cause a request for the PTT voice communication to be made through a wireless network; identify that a floor grant has been received through the wireless network in response to the request; and after identifying the floor grant, cause the digital voice data from the memory to be retrieved and transmitted to the wireless network for the PTT voice communication. Advantageously, the saving of the digital voice data in the memory is performed at least in part during a delay time period between the user actuation of the PTT switch and the identifying of the floor grant.
