IPC: E02F3/96
Filed: 2008-05-28
Abstract: A quick coupling apparatus for coupling a tool to a tool arm comprises a coupler member attached to the tool arm, aid configured to engage a mounting bracket extending out from the tool. A wedge is mounted on the coupler member and is movable, when the coupler member and mounting bracket are engaged, from a closed position engaged in a groove on the mounting bracket to an open position where the wedge is removed from the groove. A wedge positioning mechanism selectively moves the wedge to the closed position and the open position.

Title: Administration intestinale regiospecifique d'adsorbants, seuls ou en combinaison avec des molecules de degradation
Inventor: ANDREMONT ANTOINE
IPC: A61K33/44
Filed: 2007-05-18
Abstract: L'invention concerne des compositions permettant d'administrer des adsorbants, seuls ou en combinaison avec des "molécules de dégradation de médicament" actives, de manière régiospécifique dans l'intestin, et d'éliminer ou au moins d'abaisser la concentration d'une substance résiduelle indésirable dans l'intestin. L'invention concerne également des méthodes de traitement faisant appel à ces compositions. La substance à éliminer peut inclure des résidus d'antibiotiques actifs, de métabolites, de toxines bactériennes ou d'autres toxines et de médicaments causant des effets secondaires dans le tractus gastro-intestinal. Les adsorbants peuvent se présenter sous forme de capsules, de comprimés ou d'une composition pharmaceutique acceptable quelconque, ces adsorbants étant idéalement conçus pour être libérés de manière spécifique et programmée au niveau d'un site spécifique du tractus gastro-intestinal. L'administration programmée empêche les adsorbants d'interférer avec le processus d'absorption normal d'une molécule donnée après absorption orale jusqu'à ce qu'elle atteigne la partie inférieure de l'intestin grêle. Lesdites compositions peuvent être utilisées pour adsorber, et donc pour éliminer, un résidu d'un médicament, d'un métabolite de celui-ci ou d'une toxine bactérienne quelconque après une administration orale ou parentérale qui, sinon, causerait des effets indésirables dans l'intestin grêle et/ou le côlon.
