Abstract: L'invention concerne un appareil destiné à faciliter la fusion de structures osseuses adjacentes (V1, V2), comprenant un implant (100) configuré en vue d'une insertion à l'intérieur d'un espace défini entre deux structures osseuses adjacentes (V1, V2). Cet implant (100) comprend une partie extrémité d'entrée (114) et une partie extrémité arrière (122), et définit une axe longitudinal. L'implant (100) comprend au moins une partie longitudinale (102) de dimensions généralement elliptiques en section transversale, avec une dimension transversale majeure (a) supérieure à une dimension transversale mineure (b). L'invention concerne également un système (200) destiné à pratiquer un forage dans une vertèbre adjacente (V1, V2) pour faciliter l'insertion d'un implant de fusion (100), comprenant un écarteur chirurgical (220) pourvu d'un élément manchon (210) ayant des parties d'extrémités distale (214) et proximale (212), et définissant une ouverture longitudinale, et un instrument de forage (204) pouvant être positionné à l'intérieur de l'ouverture longitudinale de l'écarteur chirurgical (202). Cet écarteur (202) est configuré pour être inséré au moins partiellement dans un espace intervertébral, entre des vertèbres opposées adjacentes (V1, V2), afin d'écarter ces vertèbres adjacentes (V1, V2) en vue d'atteindre une position d'écartement prédéterminée voulue. Au moins un élément d'ancrage peut être associé à cet écarteur chirurgical (202) pour faciliter le montage de ce dernier sur la vertèbre (V1, V2). L'instrument de forage (204) comprend un élément allongé (220) doté d'un passage longitudinal, et définissant au moins une surface de coupe distale, et un élément foret (224) placé à l'intérieur de l'élément allongé (220) et doté d'une tête de foret distale. Cet élément foret (224) tourne à l'intérieur de l'élément allongé (220) et est également fixé longitudinalement à l'élément allongé (220), de telle sorte que l'avance de l'élément foret (224) à l'intérieur de l'écarteur (202) provoque l'avance correspondante de l'élément allongé (220), de sorte que la surface de coupe distale de l'élément allongé (220) et la tête de foret distale de l'élément foret (224) coopèrent pour découper un alésage non circulaire, p. ex. de forme elliptique, dans la vertèbre adjacente (V1, V2). De préférence, l'élément allongé (220) de l'instrument de forage (204) comprend une première et une deuxième surface de coupe distale diamétralement opposées. Ces surfaces de coupe peuvent être de forme arquée.

Abstract: A solid to be tested is preconditioned by drying it to a specified moisture content and its load surface is inserted downward into a test container which takes up test liquid thereby completely wetting the load surface. The test container is immersed in a temperature equalization bath which is temperature controlled. The test liquid is subjected to a predetermined temperature-time profile simulating a freeze-thaw cycle via the temperature-equalization bath. Then, at least one comparison measurement is taken to determine a change in a physical quantity representative of the inner damage to the solid. From the comparative physical values measured, the inner damage to the solid is determined based on the effects of the freeze-thaw cycle and the test liquid.

Abstract: Various services within a computer system are automatically set up as users are added to the system through a directory service. A user template is selected that already contains default settings for each of the services available on a system such as e-mail and a web service. Various user templates exist and contain different default settings for each available service depending upon the user. Default settings from each service are copied onto a new user form. Next, default settings from the selected user template are copied to the new user form and override any conflicting default settings from the services. The default settings from the new user form are used to automatically set up and enable each service for the new user. The data from the new user form is copied into a central account database that contains rows of user information, with columns corresponding to a particular service. Each user is automatically enabled for use with available services including an e-mail account and a generated web page. When an individual user then logs on to the computer system, the services available have already been set up for that individual user. If the user has any special privileges such as being an administrator, a webmaster, or a postmaster then that user may begin performing that role.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for measuring the rate of flow of a fluid from two ultrasonic signals consecutively transmitted in mutually opposite directions between two transducers. This method consists in: forming n clock signals CKi, i = 1 to n, mutually dephased by 2 pi /n; locating and memorising the first clock signal, called CLS, that is produced immediately after the occurrence of a characteristic part of the first ultrasonic signal received SIG1; determining the time t1 corresponding to the sum over a whole number m of consecutive periods of each of the time lapses between the occurrence of the characteristic part of each of the m periods and the occurrence of the CLS signal which follows, similarly, for the signal received from the opposite direction SIG2, determining the time t2 corresponding to the sum over m consecutive periods of each of the time lapses between the occurrence of the characteristic part of each period and the occurrence of the CLS signal which follows; forming the difference |t2-t1| and deducing therefrom the rate of flow.

Abstract: A plastic trial lens includes a pinching portion for pinching when a lens is loaded to a trial frame. An injection molded article for the trial lens and a molding apparatus for molding the injection molded article are described, too. The injection molded article molded by the molding apparatus of an injection compression molding machine has a pinching portion and a liquid guide/reservoir portion around an outer peripheral portion of a lens portion that are molded simultaneously with molding of the lens portion. When the injection molded article is dipped into a hard-coat solution for dipping treatment, the hard-coat solution is guided into the liquid guide/reservoir portion and drops. The solution that does not drop stays in the liquid guide/reservoir portion, so that a coating film having a uniform thickness can be formed on the lens portion. When the liquid guide/reservoir portion is removed, a plastic trial lens equipped integrally with the pinching portion can be finished.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for the distributed monitoring of network traffic deploys end system agents to collect traffic statistics at distributed points in the network. These statistics are forwarded to collectors which compile the statistics to create higher level pictures of network performance. A collector may act as a proxy for a prior art standalone network probe and may interact with network management software as though it were a standalone network probe. The invention is designed to work in accordance with a variety of standard network management protocols including SNMP, RMON, and RMON2 but is not limited to those environments.

Abstract: Electric toaster with a first heating element arranged at one side of a toasting compartment and a second heating element arranged at an opposed side of the toasting compartment. The first heating element is divided into two sub-elements. Two diodes and a switch provide the possibility to switch over from a normal two-sided toasting mode to an asymmetric single-sided toasting mode. In the normal mode the switch is closed and the sub-elements receive power only during different half-waves of the mains supply voltage, so that the effective radiant power of the sub-divided first element is equal to the radiant power of the second heating element. In the asymmetric mode the switch is opened and the resistance of the first heating element is greater than the resistance of the second element, as a consequence of which relatively more radiant power is emitted by the first heating element than by the second heating element.
