Abstract: An article of footwear is disclosed having an upper, a foot-supporting member, and a sole structure. The foot-supporting member includes a heel region located at a greater elevation than a forefoot region, thereby defining a recess under the heel region. The sole structure includes a midsole that forms a protrusion on the interior of the footwear. The protrusion mates with the recess to provide support for the heel region. The foot-supporting member may also incorporate pronation control characteristics, including a downward cant from a medial to a lateral side of the foot-supporting member and a region of reduced support generally underlying the first metatarsal. To further reduce the rate of pronation, the sole structure includes a region in the rear-lateral corner that is more compressible than other areas of the sole structure.

Abstract: The invention relates to specific mammary retractors for the insertion of implants in augmentation mammoplasty.  Each of said retractors is hollow along the entire length thereof (figure 4) so as to create a completely continuous space between the two grooves disposed at the ends thereof (figure 1; 1 and 2).  In this way, there are no pressure gradients between the retroglandular region and the exterior when the implant is inserted.  The lower part of the convex face of the retractor is grooved transversely with bevel cuts (figure 1; 3 and figure 8) which ensure that the implant can slide easily but cannot move upwards.  The upper horizontal segment of said retractor (figure 3; 1)  is disposed in the opposite direction to the lower horizontal segment thereof (figure 3; 5) so that it can be held more securely by the assistant.  The distal end of the inventive device is provided with two flanges (figure 2; 6 and 7) which are used to protect the lower groove of same (figures 1 and 2; 2) and to prevent said groove from being stopped up by the mammary tissue.

Abstract: A teleconferencing system that integrates separate real-time and asynchronous networks - the former for real-time audio and video, and the latter for control signals and textual, graphical and other data - in a manner which closely approximates the experience of face-to-face collaboration. The system provides an audio/video (AV) path (13) for carrying AV signal among the workstations, a video mosaic generator (36) for combining images, and an audio summer or mixer (38). At least part of the AV path (13b) is implemented with unshielded twisted pair wiring. The system architecture is readily scalable to the largest enterprise network environments. It accommodates differing levels of collaborative capabilities available to individual users and permits high-quality audio and video capabilities to be readily superimposed onto existing personal computers and workstations (12) and their interconnecting LANs (10) and WANs (15). In the case of a plurality of geographically dispersed LANs (10) interconnected by a WAN (15), the demands made on the WAN are significantly reduced by employing multi-hopping techniques, including avoiding the unnecessary decompression of data at intermediate hops, as well as video mosaicing and cut-and-paste technology.
