Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un instrument servant à manipuler et à couper des sutures nouées et comprenant à cet effet un élément de corps comportant un manche à l'une de ses extrémités et une section de saisie de noeud à l'autre extrémité, servant à saisir la suture nouée devant être coupées ; ainsi qu'un élément de coupe maintenu par l'élément de corps et possédant une partie terminale pourvue d'un tranchant destiné à couper la suture nouée à une distance prédéterminée du noeud. L'élément de coupe peut se déplacer le long de son axe longitudinal d'une position normale jusqu'à une position activée, en vue de couper la suture nouée. La section de saisie du noeud de l'élément de corps présente un passage axial destiné à recevoir la partie terminale de l'élément de coupe lorsque celui-ci est déplacé dans sa position activée, et un passage incliné coupant le passage axial selon un angle par rapport à l'axe longitudinal, en vue de recevoir la suture nouée. Le noeud est placé sur un côté du passage incliné et la suture à couper traverse ce passage incliné jusqu'au côté opposé, de façon à permettre au chirurgien de tendre le noeud avec la main et de couper ensuite la suture, en déplaçant l'élément de coupe jusque dans sa position activée.

Abstract: A slip hitch connection to a drive vehicle for a snow plow comprises an elongated flat planar member that can be hooked on to a connecting lug of the drive vehicle, the flat planar member being mounted on the snow plow frame for reciprocal movement in each of a pair of spaced apart coupling assemblies secured to the snow plow frame for connecting the snow plow to the drive vehicle. Each of the elongated flat planar members have an upper and lower elongated guide slot in which guide bolts that move up and down as the snow plow itself is moved up and down are received to enable the guide bolts and snow plow to which they are connected make limited reciprocal movement up and down while hooked up to the drive vehicle and being pushed forward during a snow plowing operation. This enables the snow plow to move rearwardly and upwardly enough to clear an object hit by the leading edge of the snow plow on the ground and then to reciprocate forwardly and downwardly to its original position after passing over the obstacle.

Title: Hair color application using cluster-modified water
Inventor: HAWKINS GEOFFREY
IPC: A61Q5/10
Filed: 2004-03-10
Granted: 2011-09-13
Abstract: The invention relates to methods of coloring the hair with cluster-modified water and the ability to achieve enhanced color and conditioning for the hair that is color-treated. The cluster-modified water can be ionized water such as alkalinic or acidic water, or structured water such as I or S water. In addition, the cluster-modified water can be applied to the hair as a pre-saturating treatment and/or a post-saturating treatment relative to the hair color treatment process. Additional benefits of the present invention are the ability to minimize the use of harsh chemicals and dyes while still achieving an enriched color, and increased softness and smoothness to the color-treated hair. The present invention can also be used with mordanting salts. The present invention also includes a hair coloring kit including the cluster-modified water for post-saturating and/or pre-saturating the hair.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for returning a repository to a prior state. The repository may be, for example a database, and the prior state may be, for example the consistent state that the database had at a particular point in time in the past. When an operator-caused error has been introduced to the database by changes made by an already-committed transaction, the techniques described herein may be used to recover from the error by returning the database to a point in time prior to the commit time of the transaction that introduced the error. The techniques involve the generation of "physical undo" information, and the use of the physical undo information in conjunction with physiological undo and physiological redo to efficiently return a repository to the prior state.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and engines are presented for synchronizing contents of removable storage devices with a multimedia network. In one implementation, a change in status of a connection between a removable storage device and a multimedia network is detected. A network inventory list of recordings is updated, triggered by the change in connection status. A change in the recording content, associated metadata, or digital rights of a recording may also trigger an update of the network inventory list. A network scheduler can use the updated network inventory list to accurately reflect those recordings actually available to the multimedia network for playback and recording, or available to an unauthorized user for purchase, including the recordings on removable storage devices.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for time-based charging for viewing content from a broadcast-multicast service (BCMCS) at a mobile station of a wireless communication system is disclosed. A count value (SKCount) is determined based upon the number of generated short-term keys (SK) that are used to decrypt particular content from the BCMCS. The amount of time the particular content is viewed at the mobile station may be determined as a function of the count value (SKCount) and the period (SKPeriod) between the generation of the short-term keys. This provides information about a user's actual content view time since the short-term key is needed to view the particular content broadcast to the mobile station.

Title: Convex roll used for influencing the profile and flatness of a milled strip
Inventor: KLOECKNER JUERGEN
IPC: B21B13/14

Granted: 2012-03-27
Abstract: The invention relates to a Sexto-type roll stand with x3 grinding, in which a large difference in diameter between the intermediate rolls (20, 21) causes increased wear and rough surfaces on the support rolls (31, 31) during operation, the damage pattern on the support rolls (30, 31) corresponding to the shape of the CVC grinding following an extended operating time. In Quarto-type roll stands, the grinding amplitude is initially also significantly greater than is required for rolled programs, thus resulting in the unfavorable wear pattern as well on the support rolls. The aim of the invention is to minimize said flaws. Said aim is achieved by the fact that the surface length (L) of each intermediate roll (20, 21) in a Sexto-type roll stand or each working roll in a Quarto-type roll stand is composed of a cylindrical section (Z) and a convexly curved section (R(x)). The transition point (A) from the cylindrical to the curved section of the surface length of the rolls can be selected within the range L/2 < = x < L while the curved contour which extends in opposite directions across some of the width of the rolled material in the direction of the end of the roll barrel on both rolls (20, 21) is described by a mathematical polynomial R(x) = a0 + ... anxn, wherein n = 5.
