IPC: G01D4/00
Filed: 2009-04-28
Abstract: A consumption meter, for measuring a consumed quantity, e.g. for charging purposes. The meter includes a measurement circuit MC and a calculator circuit of which at least one, e.g. both, is/are housed inside a casing CS. The meter further includes a sealing system including a light sensitive component LSC, e.g. a photo diode, and a light reducing element LRE, e.g. a self-adhesive label, arranged to prevent light incidence on the light sensitive component LSC, when the light reducing element LRE is in a sealing position. Thus, with such sealing system it is possible to discriminate between a sealed and an un-sealed condition of the meter. It is possible to electronically store and/or remotely communicate any detected un-sealed events. Especially, the light sensitive component LSC is also used as optical communication interface for reading and/or software re-configuration of the meter. Hereby, the light reducing element LRE is used to seal the meter against optical re-configuration, since its presence hinders use of the optical interface. If placed under a transparent and at the same time a removable part of the casing CS, then the light sensitive component LSC can also detect opening of the casing CS. Hereby, optical sealing can eliminate the need for mechanical seals.

Abstract: Methods and devices are provided for performing gastrectomies and gastroplasties. In one embodiment, a method includes gaining access to a stomach of a patient through an opening formed in the patient's abdominal wall and an opening formed in the patient's vaginal wall. Tissue attached to the stomach can be tensioned using a surgical instrument inserted through one of the abdominal and vaginal openings and can be separated from the stomach to free the stomach fundus using a dissecting surgical instrument inserted through another opening, e.g., through one of the abdominal and vaginal openings. The fundus can be at least partially transected using a surgical stapler inserted through one of the abdominal and vaginal openings, thereby forming a stomach "sleeve." In another embodiment, the method is modified to form another opening in the patient's abdominal wall instead of forming an opening in the vaginal wall.

Abstract: A first laser beam 1a and a second laser beam 1b are incident on a difference frequency mixing unit, and the two laser beams are overlapped in the difference frequency mixing unit, thereby generating a terahertz wave whose frequency is a frequency difference between the two laser beams. Each laser beam has a spatial spread in a frequency gradient direction, and a spatial frequency distribution of each laser beam is a distribution in which a magnitude of a frequency gradually increases in the frequency gradient direction. Accordingly, a frequency difference between the two laser beams is equal in each position in an overlapping region of the two laser beams. A terahertz wave of a single frequency is generated from this overlapping region. By spatially shifting the first laser beam and the second laser beam with respect to each other in the frequency gradient direction, the frequency difference in the overlapping region is changed, so that the single frequency is changed.

Abstract: L’invention concerne une charge destinée à être utilisée ultérieurement avec un liant dans un matériau liant-et-charge tel qu’une matière plastique, un mortier ou une peinture, cette charge contenant des perles de verre qui sont essentiellement sphériques et qui sont revêtues d’un microbiocide tel qu’une pyrithione de zinc, la charge étant sèche. Les perles de verre absorbent moins le microbiocide que la plupart des autres matériaux qui sont classiquement utilisés à cet effet. Les perles de verre sont essentiellement imperméables aux microbes, de telle sorte que la quantité de microbiocide requise est réduite, par exemple d’environ 2 ou 3 % par volume à environ 1 % par volume. Les perles de verre sont de préférence constituées de cendres volantes pulvérisées présentant les avantages suivants : faible coût, faible densité, haute résistance à l’usure, facilité de dispersion et homogénéité. Le microbiocide se disperse avec les perles de dispersion facile lorsque les perles sont combinées avec le liant. Les perles revêtues peuvent être directement utilisées à la place de la charge sèche classique lors de la combinaison avec le liant.
