Abstract: It relates to an endogenous repair factor production accelerator which
comprises one or at least two selected from prostaglandin (PG) 12 agonist, EP2 agonist
and EP4 agonist. Since prostaglandin (PG) 12 agonist, EP2 agonist or EP4 agonist has
various endogenous repair factor production accelerating action, angiogenesis
acceleration action and stem cell differentiation induction action, it is useful as
preventive and/or therapeutic agents for ischemic organ diseases (e.g., arteriosclerosis
obliterans, Buerger disease, Raynaud disease, myocardial infarction, angina pectoris,
diabetic neuropathy, spinal canal stenosis, cerebrovascular accidents, cerebral infarction,
pulmonary hypertension, bone fracture, Alzheimer disease,  etc .) and various cell and
organ diseases.

Abstract: An expandable stent is fabricated from a plurality of radially undulating rings, each pair of adjacent radially expandable undulating rings being interconnected by a multiplicity of flex members. Each flex member contacts a portion of an apex on one ring at a circumferential location and a portion of an apex of a directly adjacent ring at a circumferentially offset location. Each flex member is expandable and in one embodiment is circumferentially S-shaped. Adjacent flex members are mirror images of each other. The resulting stent is both flexible and strong when expanded thereby providing good scaffolding. In one embodiment, the strut material is fabricated of shape memory alloy such that when the strut is compressed so as to be insertable into a vessel, the strut will automatically expand to its previous dimension upon rising to the temperature of the vessel in which it is placed, thereby to expand and hold open the vessel without need for a balloon catheter.

Abstract: The sludge passes through one or more drying stages for treatment by drying gas in closed-circuit recirculation. Condensation heat evolved in this stage, is used in one or more further drying stages, to heat the drying gas.  Between drying stages, sterilization is undertaken by heating the sludge to a given temperature. During this operation, no waste gas is removed, and no condensate is produced. In later stages, some of the drying gas is removed, following drying. Waste heat, e.g. from a power station, is used to heat the drying gases in one or more drying stages. In a drying stage with gas recirculation, the maximum temperature of the sludge reaches 70degreesC. In no drying stage does the temperature of the drying gas exceed 102degreesC. The temperature of the drying gas decreases from stage to stage. The dried sludge is cooled by a fresh air supply. An Independent claim is included for the corresponding sludge drying plant.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'étalonnage d'appareils de prise de vues 3D. Les tolérances de fabrication, les variations de température et les processus de vieillissement conduisent à ce que les différents pixels d'une matrice de réception diffèrent l'un de l'autre plus ou moins fortement. Pour cette raison, il est proposé de procéder à un étalonnage de toute la matrice de récepteurs pour chaque pixel. Pendant le fonctionnement de l'appareil de prise de vues 3D, on ne dispose normalement d'aucune scène de référence avec laquelle on pourrait réaliser cet étalonnage pour chaque pixel sur la base de rapports de phases connus. Il est prévu, selon l'invention, que la matrice de réception complète soit, à des instants définis, éclairée par une source de lumière modulable. Selon une variante, la source lumineuse d'émission peut aussi être utilisée par l'intermédiaire d'un dispositif déflecteur. En procédant à deux mesures d'étalonnage avec un rapport de phases différent entre le signal émis et le signal reçu, on peut simuler deux éloignements différents et ainsi déterminer des erreurs dépendant de l'éloignement individuellement pour chaque pixel.
