Abstract: L'invention concerne un système destiné à répondre automatiquement à la demande d'insuline sans surveillance extérieure ou injection d'insuline au patient diabétique. Le système permet de détecter les niveaux de glucoses par voie interne, et de répondre par stimulation soit du pancréas soit d'un transplant d'îlots pancréatiques afin d'augmenter la production d'insuline. La stimulation d'augmentation est administrée à un taux supérieur au taux de salve, ou encore elle est régulée de manière que la salve de dépolariaation constitue une partie plus grande de chaque cycle électriqued'îlot, ce qui a pour effet d'augmenter la production d'insuline. Le système permet également la vérification continue du niveau de glucose et il réagit à une hypoglycémie détectée par administration d'impulsions de stimulus synchronisées pour réduire les durées des salves, et ainsi pour inhiber la production d'insuline. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, le système réagit à un bon signal d'absorption, produit soit par voie externe soit par voie interne, par exécution d'un algorythme de réponse temporelle afin de produire une réponse insulinique accrue par stimulation, laquelle stimule la réponse naturelle. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, la fonctionnalité du transplant d'îlot est surveillée en continu et les données d'exécution sont enregistrées puis transférées sur commande à un programmateur extérieur. La stimulation des cellules pancréatiques du patient peut être combinée à l'administration d'un agent hypoglycémique.

Abstract: A PHY having a media independent interface (MII) providing connections to a MAC or to another PHY is disclosed. The invention provides a mechanism for connecting a first PHY with a second PHY, wherein the PHY may act as the media access control side of the MII. The system includes a selection means for selecting the mode of operation for the PHY, a MII for providing a synchronous digital interface carrying un-encoded data over separate transmit and receive paths and a translation entity for generating output enables for controlling the flow of the data, wherein the translation entity establishes in response to mode being selected a first flow of data for connecting the PHY to a Media Access Control entity or a second flow of data for connecting the PHY to a second PHY. The translation entity muxes data and control signals based upon the mode selection. A translation synchronization entity is provided. The synchronization entity may includes a 10 Mbps synchronization entity and/or a 100 Mbps synchronization entity. The MII receives a transmit and receive clock from a second PHY when the PHY is connected to a second PHY, and the translation synchronization entity synchronizes the internal clocks and the MII transmit and receive clocks. An interface to a 10 or 100 Mbps repeater entity is provided wherein the interface maps a transmit data path from the translation entity to the repeater entity and receive data paths from the repeater entity to the translation entity.

Abstract: A bistable nematic liquid crystal device cell is provided with a surface alignment treatment on one cell wall which is capable of sustaining two stable states in which the liquid crystal director is in the same azimuthal plane but at two different tilt angles out of the plane of the cell. This surface may be provided using a symmetric or asymmetric grating structure formed by photolithographic or embossing techniques in which the local orientation of the liquid crystal molecules at the surface is normal to the local direction of the surface. Correct choice of the grating period, depth, shape and anchoring properties leads to two stable director configurations: one with the director normal to the plane of the cell at the grating surface, and the other with the director at a pretilt usually in the range 0{ to 60{ from the cell plane. This surface is combined with a monostable surface which leads to substantially planar homogeneous alignment formed e.g. by a rubbed polymer, or a grating surface. The preferred direction of the monostable surface may be arranged to be at any angle with respect to the grating grooves on the opposite surface. In one embodiment, the monostable surface is aligned parallel to the grooves so that in one state the director twists through 90{ from one surface to the other, whereas the other state has little or no twist. The cell may be switched by dc pulses which couple to the flexoelectric coefficients of the material. The material has a negative dielectric anisotropy and may include a chiral dopant to impart a preferred twist direction. The cell walls may be formed from rigid or flexible transparent material coated with electrode structures which form a matrix of pixels. Means for optical discrimination for the different states is provided by one or more polarisers, or a dye with or without a polariser, and/or other optic elements.
