Abstract: La présente invention concerne un cathéter (10) constitué d'un tube de cathéter (11) et une pointe bolus (20), le bolus (20) présentant un orifice latéral principal s'étendant radialement (69). Dans un premier mode de réalisation, le cathéter (10) présente également des deuxième et troisième orifices latéraux (35/37) séparés axialement de l'orifice latéral principal (69). Les deuxième et troisième orifices latéraux (35/37) sont tous deux allongés axialement, leur bord étant semi-circulaire en coupe. Le deuxième orifice latéral (35) est déplacé à 180° degrés de l'orifice latéral principal (69). Le troisième orifice latéral (37) est aligné axialement avec l'orifice principal (69). Le cathéter (10) est épaissi au niveau d'une dépression (45/47) opposée à chacun des deuxième et troisième orifices latéraux (35/37). Un autre mode de réalisation concerne un cathéter spécifiquement destiné à l'hémodialyse, comprenant un tube à lumière double (310) et un bolus (351) au niveau de son extrémité distale. Des orifices multiples (335/337) sont formés dans les lumières artérielles et veineuses, la configuration spatiale de ces orifices étant similaire à celles du cathéter à lumière unique précité. Dans des variantes, on utilise un bolus avec un segment de connexion de tube français 13,5 et un segment  avant français 10.

Abstract: A differential pressure between a delivery pressure of
a fixed displacement hydraulic pump 2 and a maximum load
pressure among a plurality of actuators 3a to 3c is
maintained at a target differential pressure by an unloading
valve 5. A setting pressure of the unloading valve 5 is
changed depending on an engine revolution speed by
introducing a differential pressure ΔPp across a throttle
50, which is disposed in a delivery line of a fixed pump 30,
to a pressure bearing sector 5d of the unloading valve.
With such an arrangement, in a hydraulic drive system
including an LS system, it is possible to ensure fine
operability based on setting of the engine revolution speed,
to perform flow rate control at a good response, and to
realize superior operability.

Abstract: Method for efficiently selecting a channel in a TDD asymmetric
radiocommunication system, in which a first remote unit (11) wishes to set up
a communication with a first fixed unit (12), and both units explore,
independently, the signal level present in each one of the available radio
channels. 
     Once the first fixed unit (12) knows over which available radio channels
it is not suitable to set up the communication for it, it broadcasts this to the
remote unit (11). Next, the first remote unit (11) must pair one of the radio
channels suitable for the first fixed unit (12) with one of those suitable for it. 
     If the first remote unit (11) finds an available radio channel suitable for
the two units, the desired communication is established over the radio channel
available and suitable for both units. If it does not manage to find a radio
channel available and suitable for both units, then the process is repeated.

Abstract: A toy motorcycle body supports a pair of front-to-back extending chassis shafts in a pivotal attachment. A front wheel and a rear wheel are each formed of respective wheel halves and supported by the pivotable chassis shafts. The chassis shafts each support respective lever cams which cooperate with a pivotally supported lever actuated by the user. The chassis shafts also support a pair of spring cams which cooperate with a return spring. The action of the spring upon the spring cams pivots the chassis shafts to place the front and rear wheel halves together configuring the toy motorcycle as a conventional motorcycle. The manipulation of the pivotally supported lever by the user overcomes the spring force and pivots the chassis shafts so as to move the respective wheel halves to a split outwardly extending configuration to mimic a hovering device.
