Title: Stent myocardique et methodes associees destinees a acheminer un ecoulement de sang directement entre une cavite cardiaque et un vaisseau coronaire
Inventor: BOEKSTEGERS PETER
IPC: A61F2/06
Filed: 2001-08-06
Abstract: L'invention concerne une méthode et un appareil de pontage destinés à acheminer un écoulement de sang directement entre une cavité cardiaque, telle que le ventricule gauche, et le système vasculaire coronaire, et notamment vers une artère coronaire. L'invention se rapporte également à un conduit spécialement conçu pour être logé dans le myocarde en vue d'acheminer cet écoulement. Ce conduit est particulièrement utile lorsqu'un blocage obstrue partiellement ou complètement l'artère coronaire. Dans un tel cas, il est disposé de manière distale par rapport à ce blocage. Dans certains modes de réalisation, l'invention concerne des conduits sous forme de stents présentant des configurations particulières et des propriétés adaptées à une insertion dans le myocarde. Un stent de ce type présente un premier diamètre pendant son implantation dans un site myocardique et un second diamètre après son implantation dans ce site. Sa configuration permet d'obtenir une résistance radiale élevée, d'où une résistance à la déformation provoquée par les forces de contraction intervenant au cours d'un cycle cardiaque. De plus, cette configuration lui confère une souplesse élevée à l'état compressé et déployé. Ainsi, ledit stent permet le passage d'un écoulement de sang vers un site myocardique et demeure persistant lors d'une implantation dans ce site. Ce stent extensible peut comprendre des garnitures et des revêtements appropriés.

Abstract: A navigational system includes a display device and logic that simultaneously presents a textual display of an original flight plan and a modified flight plan on the display device. The textual display includes a textlist of waypoints that are on the original flight plan and the modified flight plan and performance data for common waypoints that are on both the original flight plan and the modified flight plan, as well as for new waypoints that are added to the modified flight plan. The performance data for each common waypoint includes performance data for the waypoint on the original flight plan and for the waypoint on the modified flight plan. The system may further include an interface device that allows an operator to change the modified flight plan. The logic updates the textlist of waypoints on the textual display when the modified flight plan is changed and updates the performance data on the textual display for common waypoints when the modified flight plan is changed. The logic may also designate on the textual display waypoints to be removed, which correspond to waypoints that are on the original flight plan but not on the modified flight plan, and, when the modified flight plan is activated to become a new flight plan, the logic removes from the textual display the waypoints that are designated to be removed.

Abstract: L'invention concerne des matériaux et des procédés destinés à former des bosses améliorées à l'aide de particules sur des surfaces de contact électrique au moyen d'opérations d'impression au pochoir ou d'impression sérigraphique. Lesdits matériaux se présentent sous la forme de mélanges d'encre conductrice, de pâte conductrice ou d'adhésif conducteur et de particules conductrices solides (104). Un procédé consiste à déposer le mélange (108) sur des surfaces de contact électrique par impression au pochoir, par impression sérigraphique ou par d'autres techniques de distribution (110). Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on soumet d'abord l'encre, la pâte ou l'adhésif à une impression au pochoir ou à une impression sérigraphique avant d'appliquer les particules sur la partie supérieure du dépôt d'encre, de pâte ou d'adhésif. Une fois durci (114), ce dépôt forme une bosse de contact électrique sur la surface de contact, une surface conductrice dure de type papier abrasif pouvant être facilement couplée à une surface de contact opposée sans que l'une ou l'autre de ces surfaces ne nécessite une opération de préparation supplémentaire.

Title: Dispositif permettant d'alimenter un ensemble de piles a combustible en gaz de fonctionnement
Inventor: KOSCHANY ARTHUR
IPC: H01M8/04089
Filed: 2001-10-16
Abstract: La présente invention concerne un dispositif permettant d'alimenter un pile à combustible (1) en gaz de fonctionnement. Ce dispositif comprend une soupape d'arrêt (2) qui est pourvue dans la conduite d'alimentation en gaz de fonctionnement et est conçue de façon que le flux massique traversant soit commandé de manière continue, ce qui peut également permettre de réduire et de stabiliser une pression d'alimentation non constante. La pression secondaire de la soupape est mesurée par un détecteur de pression (4) et un système électronique de commande (6) règle la soupape de façon à fixer pour la pression de fonctionnement une valeur réelle définie correspondant à une valeur théorique. La valeur théorique de la pression de fonctionnement peut varier en fonction de paramètres de système de la pile à combustible. Par exemple lorsque la demande en flux au niveau de la pile à combustible augmente, la pression de fonctionnement peut connaître une augmentation correspondante. On peut également améliorer la sécurité de fonctionnement de la pile à combustible en déterminant le flux massique qui traverse la soupape de la conduite d'alimentation en combustible, à partir du signal de commande, puis en déconnectant la pile à combustible lorsque la valeur du courant électrique fourni ne correspond pas au courant estimé en fonction du flux massique de combustible mesuré, ce qui indique une fuite.

Abstract: Techniques for deriving bone properties from images generated by a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry apparatus include receiving first image data having pixels indicating bone mineral density projected at a first angle of a plurality of projection angles. Second image data and third image data are also received. The second image data indicates bone mineral density projected at a different second angle. The third image data indicates bone mineral density projected at a third angle. The third angle is different from the first angle and the second angle. Principal moments of inertia for a bone in the subject are computed based on the first image data, the second image data and the third image data. The techniques allow high-precision, high-resolution dual-energy x-ray attenuation images to be used for computing principal moments of inertia and strength moduli of individual bones, plus risk of injury and changes in risk of injury to a patient.

Abstract: A connector setup is disclosed where one connector can be blind mated to another connector. In a fixed panel, a connector is spring mounted upon the fixed panel such that the connector has freedom of movement in all directions. In addition, the springs are configured so as to provide enough force to mate the connector with a mating connector. Either connector can be mounted between guide pins. The corresponding connector would then be mounted between guide holes. When the module upon which one of the connectors is mounted is slid into the fixed panel, the guide pins interact with the guide holes so as to properly position the connectors in relation to each other. The springs, in addition to providing enough force to mate the connectors, also allows the connector on the panel to float within its mount, permitting the connector to be optimally positioned for mating purposes.
