Abstract: PCT No. PCT/SE97/01641 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 31, 1999 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 31, 1999 PCT Filed Sep. 30, 1997 PCT Pub. No. WO98/14146 PCT Pub. Date Apr. 9, 1998The incontinence control device of the present invention as described includes a cloth strap adapted to encircle a penis, the strap having cooperative pressure adherence layers on portions of the inner and outer surfaces so that the strap can form a circumference when the inner adherence layer is engaged with the outer adherence layer of the strap. The inner surface of the strap also has a compressible pad adjacent the pressure adherence layer and another compressible pad in fixed relation to the first pad. An inflatable sac is affixed to the strap between the two compressible pads. A tube passes through the strap to communicate with the interior of the inflatable sac at one end of the tube. A check valve is attached at the other end of the tube. A syringe is adapted to engage the check valve so that air in the syringe can be injected through the tube into the sac to inflate the sac. In the inflated condition, the sac and incontinence control device are adapted to impinge the urethra within the penis to, thereby, restrict the flow of urine through the urethra. The sac has a predetermined free shape with a height greater than the thickness of the two compressible pads so that the sac will maintain contact with the penis even when the sac is not inflated to ensure that the strap will not slip.

Abstract: An assembly of an end-fitting (9) and a flexible pressure pipe which is of a non-bonded structure and comprises a number of layers including at least one layer having a number of helically wound flat metallic tensile armor wires with end parts which, in the assembled condition, are embedded in an anchor consisting of a casting material such as epoxy which is injected into a cavity formed in the end-fitting. The flat wire end parts have at least one twist turning generally around the centerline of the wire. Said twists lock the tensile armor wires firmly in the anchor and therefore provide a greater resistance to axial tensile loads acting on the assembly than has been known before. Furthermore the joint is a simple and cheap structure and can be made in situ.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un dispositif optique destiné à la symétrisation des rayons d'une pluralité de diodes laser juxtaposées de façon stationnaire, dont le faisceau de sortie respectif est asymétrique par rapport à une première et à une deuxième direction, perpendiculaires l'une par rapport à l'autre. Une lentille cylindrique (3) avec une isoplanasie suffisamment grande est inclinée sur l'axe optique (axe z), lequel est perpendiculaire au plan prédéfini par les deux autres directions (x, y). Cette lentille cylindrique collimate et oriente les faisceaux de sortie des différentes diodes laser dans la première direction (x). Un élément directionnel (4), implanté en aval de la lentille cylindrique (3), dévie les faisceaux des différentes diodes laser (2) dans la seconde direction (y) avec un angle de déviation propre à chaque faisceau de telle manière que les différents faisceaux se recoupent en leur centre de gravité à une distance donnée. Un élément de redéviation (5), situé dans la section postérieure de l'élément directionnel (4), compense à nouveau les différents angles de déviation des faisceaux pour orienter ces derniers dans le sens de l'axe optique (axe z).

Abstract: A phase compensation loop suitable for a quadrature receiver comprises a
phase comparator having in-phase and quadrature signals fed to respective
inputs of the phase comparator. The phase comparator outputs a signal
which represents a deviation from mutual phase quadrature of the in-phase

phase of the in-phase or quadrature signal in accordance with the signal from
the phase comparator to bring them into mutual phase quadrature.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte à un système de présentation (50), qui permet de distribuer l'exécution d'une présentation à plusieurs sites clients (54) comprenant des noeuds clients sur un réseau, tel que l'Internet. Ce système de présentation (50) distribue les données du contenu de la présentation à plusieurs noeuds serveurs du réseau et, pendant l'exécution de la présentation, les noeuds clients qui reçoivent la présentation déterminent une variation particulière de la présentation des données à rapatrier des noeuds serveurs du réseau. Plus particulièrement, le rapatriement des données de présentation dépend des caractéristiques de transmission du réseau, telles que la vitesse de transmission des données. Ainsi, lorsqu'un niveau faible de vitesse de transmission des données est détecté au niveau d'un premier noeud client, des éléments de présentation d'une taille réduite peuvent être rapatriés. Sinon, lorsqu'un niveau supérieur de vitesse de transmission est détecté au niveau d'un second noeud client, les éléments de présentation d'une plus grande taille (et une qualité de présentation améliorée correspondante) peuvent être rapatriés. Par conséquent, à l'intérieur d'une seule et même exécution, des noeuds clients du réseau ayant des largeurs de bandes de réseau disponibles variables peuvent être utilisés pour exécuter la présentation de façon synchrone.
