Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif d'ancrage pour greffon de ligament, comprenant un élément (20) de contact pour greffon de ligament qui est placé dans un orifice (29) pratiqué dans un os, cet élément (20) de contact pour greffon de ligament étant assemblé de manière à pouvoir loger un greffon (28) de ligament. Ce dispositif d'ancrage comprend également un élément (32) de verrouillage destiné à être placé dans ledit orifice et à entrer en contact au moins partiellement avec l'élément (20) de contact pour greffon de ligament. Tout mouvement de cet élément (32) de verrouillage dans l'orifice fait que l'élément (32) de verrouillage pousse l'élément (20) de contact et le greffon (28) de ligament vers une paroi dudit orifice, afin de fixer le greffon (28) de ligament à cette paroi de l'orifice. Un procédé pour fixer un greffon (28) de ligament à un os implique de pratiquer un orifice dans un os, d'insérer le greffon (28) de ligament et un élément (20) de contact pour greffon de ligament dans cet orifice, ledit greffon (28) de ligament étant placé le long d'une première partie de l'élément (20) de contact, et un élément (32) de verrouillage étant inséré dans l'os le long d'une première partie de l'élément (20) de contact. Cet élément (32) de verrouillage est séparé du greffon (28) de ligament par l'élément (20) de contact pour greffon de ligament. Le procédé implique également de déplacer l'élément (32) de verrouillage afin que celui-ci entre en contact avec l'élément (20) de contact pour greffon de ligament, afin de pousser cet élément (20) de contact pour greffon de ligament ainsi que le greffon (28) de ligament vers une paroi de l'orifice, afin de fixer ledit greffon de ligament à cette paroi.

Abstract: The permanent magnet and electromagnetic structure has a stator (5) with a magnetic circuit (6,7,8). The magnetic circuit is activated by an outer electrical coil (12). There is an upper mobile or rotary section with a magnetic circuit (4) made in a high permeability magnetic material. The lower part of the magnetic circuit (2) has a reversible permeability with a value similar to that in air producing a linear demagnetisation curve and fast recovery characteristics. The mobile section is formed of magnetic material having the same sense, which can be demagnetised in a near linear fashion up to a temperature of at least 100 degrees C. The magnetic induction of the material is equivalent to half the residual flux density of the material. The sizes of the circuit components are such that the centres of the component faces have an induction value which is less than half the residual flux density.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of producing covalently closed
circular (ccc) DNA from a unicellular organism, preferably a bacterium,
essentially free of genomic DNA. The method of the invention comprises the
steps of precipitating a cleared lysate with isopropanol and, after washing and
resuspension of the precipitate, the digestion of the genomic DNA with a
nuclease that cleaves linear DNA or circular DNA that comprises a nick or
comprises a free 3'- or 5'-end but not ccc DNA. Finally, the purified ccc DNA is
separated from the remainder of the product of the digestion step by
contacting said product with an ion exchange material. Preferably, the
separation step is a chromatography using an anion exchange column. The
invention also relates to purified ccc DNA obtained by the method of the
invention, pharmaceutical compositions comprising said ccc DNA, as well as
to a kit for carrying out the method of the invention.

Abstract: There is herein disclosed a process for preparing a
carboxypolysaccharide by oxidizing a polysaccharide with a
combination of a transition metal compound and an oxidizing
agent, said process comprising the step of separating the
transition metal from a reaction mixture with a chelating
agent. 
     According to the present invention, the transition
metal can be removed to a low concentration of less than 100
ppm from an aqueous solution including the transition metal
and the tricarboxypolysaccharide. The process of the
present invention is important to reduce the loss of a
transition metal catalyst such as the ruthenium catalyst and
to industrially manufacture a purified tricarboxypolysaccharide.

Abstract: A process for the treatment of waste water containing heavy metals is
disclosed in which sulphur components and/or metals are biologically
reduced to precipitate the metals as water-insoluble metal species,
which are separated from the waste water. The biological reduction and
the precipitation of the metal species are carried out in a sand bed, in
which sand particles partly immobilise the bacteria and retain the
precipitated metal species, treated waste water is separated from the
precipitated metal species, and the precipitated metal species are
subsequently separated from the sand particles. Metals like selenium
and uranium can be precipitated without suphur components, whereas
metals like antimony, cadmium, copper, zinc and the like are precipitated
as sulphides.

Abstract: The present invention, with reference to Fig. 1, relates
to horizontal, vertical or angularly disposed diaphragms which
resist structural forces. Specifically, the present invention
relates to an improved mechanical connection between a
structural panel (1) and the framing members (2) that support
the structural panel (1) forming a diaphragm. The connection
includes: a structural panel (1) having a distal side (3), a
proximal side (4), and a plurality of edge faces (5); a frame
(6) consisting of a plurality of framing members (2) disposed
in registration with the proximal side (4) of the structural
panel (1) near the edge faces (5); a plurality of perimeter
fasteners (7) connecting the structural panel (1) to the
framing members (2); and clips (17) or perimeter edging
members (18) for reducing bending of the perimeter fasteners
(7) attached to a substantial number of the perimeter
fasteners (7). The clips (17) or perimeter edging members
(18) for reducing bending of the perimeter fasteners (7) act
when lateral forces are imposed on the building structure (8)
of which the diaphragm is a part.

tip electrode to the outer surface of the tip electrode to cool the electrode. The catheter further comprises one or
more puller wires attached at their distal ends to the tip section and at their proximal ends to
the control handle for deflecting the tip section by manipulation of the control handle.
It is equipped with an electromagnetic mapping sensor indicating the
position in the heart, and a thermal sensor. The catheter finds its application
in electrophysiological studies of the heart and ablation.

Abstract: The multiple sensor equalisation method involves estimating (4) the transmission channel on each of the routes. An estimate is established of the noise component and interference level on each channel of the transmission path.. An estimate is also established of the spatial correlation of the noise component background plus the interference in the received signal. A calculation is then made (3) for a space-time filter for each discrete time element of the multiple sensor channels, and a time filter is applied. The equalisation process (5) is then carried out by a single dimensional process.

Abstract: A scheme for propagating, between views of network, status information for
elements of the network in a way that mirrors how the network is maintained. The
propagation scheme divides the elements of the network into either connections or
equipment, groups the elements in each of these two partitions into increasingly higher-level
views and propagates status of fundamental and compound objects between the different
views to help locate the source of any malfunction of the network. This status propagation
scheme is particularly suited for monitoring a wide-area network, where there are more
connections and more complex equipment than in a typical local area network, these
connections are usually, more geographically disbursed, and most importantly these
connections are maintained by different people than those who maintain the other equipment
of the network. By providing both a multi-level equipment hierarchy and a multi-level
connection hierarchy, and providing both upward and sometimes downward propagation of
status information between different views of the network, the present invention makes
possible more rapid diagnostic of both connection and other equipment malfunction.
