Abstract: An elongated, capsule shaped prosthetic spinal disc nucleus body for implantation into a human inter vertebral spinal disc, made of a hydrogel core and a constraining jacket surrounding the hydrogel core that permits the hydrogel core to deform and reform. The constraining jacket is configured to allow the hydrogel core to hydrate to a predetermined volume and will deform and reform in a desired fashion in response to various loads placed upon the spinal tract. The prosthetic spinal disc nucleus assists in restoring the natural physiology of the human intervertebral disc. By implanting two prosthetic spinal disc nuclei side-by-side into a damaged disc of a human spine, both height and motion can be maintained.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble d'insertion (10) perfectionné permettant l'implantation transcutanée d'un détecteur (12) tel qu'un détecteur de glucose, en un site prédéterminé dans le corps d'un patient. L'ensemble d'insertion comprend une base de montage (30) définissant un passage ouvert vers le haut destiné à recevoir et à porter un détecteur (12) en couche mince flexible, et un couvercle (60) assemblé sur la base de montage (30) pour piéger et retenir l'extrémité proximale du détecteur (12) à l'intérieur du passage. Le détecteur (12) comprend également un segment distal équipé d'électrodes de détection dépassant de la base de montage (30) en vue de l'implantation transcutanée. Ce segment distal du détecteur est déplacé par glissement par une aiguille d'insertion fendue disposée à travers la base de montage et le couvercle (60). Lorsqu'on place le dispositif d'insertion sur la peau du patient, l'aiguille d'insertion perce alors la peau, ce qui permet l'acheminement des électrodes de détection vers le site sous-cutané désiré. Ensuite, l'aiguille d'insertion peut être retirée par glissement de l'ensemble d'insertion (10). La base de montage (30) comprend aussi une pièce rapportée et des éléments de verrouillage par encliquetage associés permettant le couplage libérable appareillé par glissement de pastilles de contact (18) conductrices situées sur une extrémité proximale du détecteur à un connecteur de câble, afin de transmettre les signaux du détecteur à un dispositif de surveillance approprié.

Abstract: The invention pertains to a method for determining and/or controlling the transmission wavelengths of transmission elements of an optical wavelength division multiplex transmission unit, in which the output signals of several optical transmission elements ( 7 ) with respectively one optical transmission spectrum ( 20 ) of different center wavelength (ë<SUB>sj</SUB>) are respectively fed to one optical input (E<SUB>2</SUB>, E<SUB>4</SUB>, . . . , E<SUB>n1</SUB>) of an optical wavelength monitoring and coupling unit ( 3 ) that combines the output signals into a wavelength division multiplex signal on one or more optical output(s) (A), with the wavelength monitoring and coupling unit ( 3 ) being designed such that an optical path, on which a narrow-band high-pass filtering or low-pass filtering takes place, exists between one, more or all inputs (E<SUB>2</SUB>, E<SUB>4</SUB>, . . . , E<SUB>n-1</SUB>), to which the output signal of a transmission element ( 7 ) is fed, and one or more additional inputs (E<SUB>1</SUB>, E<SUB>3</SUB>, . . . , E<SUB>n</SUB>) that are not connected to transmission elements ( 7 ). The filter characteristic on the path is chosen such that the entire spectral power of the signal filtered with the chosen characteristic changes during a shift in the center wavelength of the transmission spectrum ( 20 ) of a transmission element ( 7 ), the signal of which is fed into this path. The filtered optical signal appearing at one or more additional inputs (E<SUB>1</SUB>, E<SUB>3</SUB>, . . . , E<SUB>n</SUB>) is respectively fed to an optical reception element ( 9 ), the output signal of which is evaluated in order to determine the position and/or control the position of the transmission spectrum ( 20 ) of one or more of the optical transmission element(s) ( 7 ). Instead of providing a combined wavelength monitoring and coupling unit ( 3 ), it is also conceivable to utilize a separate wavelength monitoring unit ( 30 ) that may be designed analogous with respect to the filtering of the transmission signals. In this case, a fraction of the power of the output signals of the transmission elements is fed to the pertinent inputs. The combining of the individual output signals is realized with the aid of a separate coupling unit. The invention also pertains to a wavelength division multiplex transmission unit for implementing this method.

Abstract: A method and an installation for controlling the filling of containers (5) with a flowable product in a filling installation has a product reservoir (1) and a filling unit (3) for simultaneously filling several containers (5). The method consists in: measuring the total real flow rate of product delivered by the filing unit (3) to the whole set of containers (5); detecting the number n of containers (5) being filled in the filling unit (3); displaying a theoretical flow rate q of the individual filling of the containers (5); comparing the total real flow rate measured and the theoretical flow rate n.q; and, correcting, if necessary, the total real flow rate to make it coincide with the theoretical flow rate. The operation of the installation is thereby adapted to the exact number of containers being actually filled simultaneously, with no significant variations of real individual filling flow rates.

Abstract: A wireless remote unit is operable to demodulate signals received over a plurality of different bands, such as the FM broadcast band, and one or more higher frequency bands. The various bands have different channels and the selection of the band and the channel is accomplished by control signals received by the receiver. The control signal can carry menu information in one direction to the user and can carry user data, including the identity of the user, in the other direction. There can be multiple transmitters, wherein each transmitter sends information on a different channel within a band, and tunes remote units to a particular transmitter based upon proximity to that transmitter. The transmitter is capable of displaying visual data. The visual data includes a predetermined number of advertisements to be displayed during a user session, prompted either by a user logging onto the system, or by the system's detection of a user's presence.
