Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé pour le remplacement sélectif d'une série de panneaux pliables par une autre série de panneaux pliables. Le système peut comprendre un ensemble cadre fixé à une première série de panneaux pliables. La première série peut être placée initialement dans une position de réception de bandes pour la réception et le pliage de bandes, du type bandes de papier de soie. Le système peut également comprendre un second ensemble cadre fixé à une seconde série de panneaux pliables, que l'on peut placer dans une autre position. La première série de panneaux pliables, à la position de réception de bandes, peut ensuite être remplacée sélectivement par la seconde série de panneaux pliables. Par exemple, selon une variante, chaque ensemble cadre peut être simultanément mis en rotation autour d'un axe pour le remplacement de la première série par la seconde série.

Abstract: A tennis elbow pad assembly product for relieving the symptoms of lateral epicondylitis is disclosed. The tennis elbow pad assembly product includes an outer pouch formed of a moisture-impervious material. A pad is positioned in the pouch in substantially moisture-free conditions and sealed therein against entry of moisture until use. The pad is adapted for being positioned against and molded onto a forearm in the region of the elbow for lying in closely-conforming relation against and applying radially-directed pressure to the common tendon attachment and grasping and supination muscles associated with the radial-humeral joint and the lateral epicondyle of a forearm and hardened into a rigid structure for therapeutic use. The pad includes an initially flexible substrate impregnated or coated with a reactive system. The system remains stable when maintained in substantially moisture-free conditions and hardens upon exposure to moisture to form a rigid, self-supporting structure having a shape that conforms to the forearm to which the pad is molded during curing. The pad also includes a flexible outer layer enclosing the substrate and a support cooperating with the pad for maintaining the pad in its closely-conforming position against the forearm.

Abstract: The optical amplifier (56A through 56D) realizes EDFA
amplification of optical signals in new bands (the S + - and
S-bands), at wavelengths of 1450 to 1530 nm. The amplifier
(56A through 56D) uses multiple erbium-doped fibers (1)
to amplify optical signals at wavelengths of 1450 to 1530
nm. Each of the multiple optical filters (2) is interposed
between the individual erbium-doped fibers (1). The sum
of the transmission characteristics of the multiple
filters (2) is identical to an inverted EDF wavelength
gain characteristic at wavelengths of 1450 to 1530 nm which
is then shifted to the direction that the transmission
increases.

Abstract: An assembly (140) separates fibres (155) from a mass flow suspension of fibres. The assembly has a separation surface (148) which incorporates separation slits (175) and moving pick-up catchers (141). The separation slits are esp. stationary, i.e. gaps between parallel belts. The moving separation catchers are endless belts moving around a pulley arrangement. The main belt shank has a speed component VTX which is VKRIT faster than the mass flow separation surface speed component VLX. The value of VKRIT is pref. more than 0.5 m/s. The separator (140) has a stationary separation step positioned within a stationary slot. The fibres are presented to the moving belt in an aqueous medium also containing light weight substances which retain the fibres. The aqueous medium does not flow readily through the slits. The fibres and some fluid pass through the slits as soon as they have separated from the lightweight substance.
