Abstract: A prosthesis for hernioplasty made of a precured monofilament polypropylene mesh of
surgical quality and controlled memory, thermally stable and biocompatible, is preformed into
the shape of a nail (1) and has a median hole (2) for the passage of the spermatic cord, which
is possible with the slit (3) connected to said hole. The optimal rigidity, the absence of the
memory typical of the known PPM, the roughness allow a perfect adhesion and fit of the mesh
with the contact surfaces with no tendency to crumple. Porosity and monofilament allows a
quick fibroplastic infiltration avoiding possible infections; this increases also the mechanical
adhesion for the tough reaction of incorporation of the newly formed connective tissue into
the mesh, avoiding any displacement and allowing its tension free sutureless implant, so as
to avoid complications after the operation and relapses unlike the prostheses of the prior art.
Such a prosthesis allows an operation in outpatient way without stay, resuming the normal
current home - work activity after few hours and the complete physical recovery without
hospitalization after about one week, with great advantages from the social-economic point
of view, because of saving the hospitalization costs and avoiding to lose working days. This
prosthesis finds particular application in surgical repair of herniae, more particularly in the
hernioplasty according to Trabucco's technique.

Abstract: In the automatic production of shoes, a single layer sole is injected directly onto a shoe upper, on a last. The moulds (21 forming the sole travel in series to the injection machine. They are conveyed around a circuit. They arrive at a preparation station (2), and are completely closed, to produce a sole moulding cavity. Passing through a buffer station (3), the assembled moulds reach the injection station (6), where they are secured and adjusted. Injection follows, then passage to a further buffer station (7) and cooling. Following a set interval, the moulds are opened at yet another station, removing the finished shoe. Passing through a cleaning station, the open, empty mould goes round again, or is removed. Also claimed is a plant to carry out the above process.

Abstract: A video transmission system for facilitating transmission of video and control signals, particularly infrared remote control signals between different locations in a residence using existing telephone wiring. Simultaneous transmission of signals of both types over active telephone lines is possible without interference with telephone communications. Transmission succeeds without requiring special treatment of the video signals beyond RF conversion, despite signal attenuation inherent in transmission over the telephone line media. Two or more video sources may be tied into the system, and selected as desired. Remote control signals generated in one room may be utilized without requiring a clear line of sight between the remote control device and the receiver.

Abstract: A multi-pass algorithm for applying a perspective
transform to quadrilateral images by means of at least two
phases of 1-dimensional resampling processes for each
dimension. Each phase constitutes a perspective transform from
a rectangle to a trapezoid with parallel sides parallel to the
corresponding sides of the rectangle. More particularly, each
phase comprises a foreshortening pass in one dimension
(vertical for parallel horizontal sides, horizontal for
parallel vertical sides) followed by a trapezoidal pseudo-shear
pass in the other dimension. Thus, in the first phase,
the source rectangle is transformed to a first, intermediate
trapezoid with either parallel horizontal or parallel vertical
sides. In the second phase, the bounding box of this
intermediate trapezoid ( i.e. , the smallest axis-aligned
rectangle containing the trapezoid) is transformed to a
second, target trapezoid with either parallel vertical or
parallel horizontal sides ( i.e. , the opposite of the
intermediate trapezoid) that bounds the final quadrilateral.
Thus, by so transforming the bounding box of the intermediate
trapezoid, the corners of the intermediate trapezoid are
mapped to the corners of the target quadrilateral. The
invention has two advantages over the prior art processes:
although some complex calculations have to be performed for
each row or column, the per pixel calculations are much
simpler; and since the shape of the result is a simple
trapezoid (remembering that a rectangle is a trapezoid) at
each step, it is easy to control the resampling process to
ensure that these shapes are achieved and the result appears
stable.

Abstract: Un dispositif de communication localise un fournisseur de services préféré dans un environnement de fournisseurs de services multiples au moyen d'un programme de recherche de bandes de fréquence. Ce dispositif de communication repère initialement un fournisseur de services moins préféré dans une première bande de fréquence. Tout en conservant ce repère avec le fournisseur de services moins préféré, le dispositif examine plusieurs bandes de fréquence dans l'ordre spécifié par le programme de recherche de bandes de fréquences. L'examen d'une bande de fréquence consiste à diviser la bande de fréquence en un nombre important de bandes secondaires et à localiser le signal le plus fort supérieur à un seuil à l'intérieur de la bande secondaire en cours d'examen. Cet examen continue jusqu'à la localisation d'une deuxième bande de fréquence possédant un fournisseur de services de plus grande préférence. Le dispositif de communication repère alors ce dernier fournisseur . La catégorie du fournisseur de services peut être identifiée et affichée sur le dispositif de communication.

Abstract: The present invention discloses a method for securely
adding a new end station to a local area network (LAN)
segmented into a number of virtual local area networks (VLANs).
The invention is applicable to various types of LANs such as
Ethernet and token ring. The LAN comprises an authentication
server (AS) which interacts with each new end station before
connection to a VLAN is allowed. The method involves the AS
administering a test to the new end station, which may involve
prompting the new end station for a password or asking it to
encrypt a given number using a secret algorithm known only to
the new end station and to the AS. The AS examines the results
of this test and determines whether the new end station is
permitted to join the VLAN. For added security, the new end
station can verify authenticity of the AS by administering a
test of its own, which may consist of prompting the AS for a
password of its own or asking it to encrypt a new number, the
new end station subsequently determining whether the AS is
indeed genuine before beginning to transmit any further
information. In this way, an end station cannot join a VLAN
without authentication by the AS and a legitimate end station
can verify whether the test it is asked to pass comes from a
legitimate source, thereby avoiding network security breaches.

Title: Automotive inertia switch and method of using the same
Inventor: FRANK CARL
IPC: H01H35/14
Filed: 1998-03-18
Abstract: An automotive inertia switch (1) including a switch body (10)
which houses a movable plunger weight (11); a button guide structure (12)
with a cylindrical nest (13), a switch reset button (14), a wiper contact
(15) and a compression spring (16). Switching action is caused by the
vertical movement of the weight (11). In an untripped state a tip (40) of
the weight (11) is spring biased by the compression spring (16) into the
nest (13). In response to a rapid change in the acceleration of the
vehicle, e.g. a crash, the tip (40) is dislodged from the nest (13) and the
weight (11) is forced by the spring (16) to move upwardly against the
button (14). Vertical movement of the weight (11) causes the wiper
contact (15), which is in pressing engagement with the opposite end of the
weight (11), to move between switching positions to make and break
electrical connection of a common terminal (6) to the fuel pump (2) or a
switch status indicator. The tripped status of the switch (1) may be
indicated by the switch status indicator, or by visual observation of the
outward projection of the button (14). The switch (1) may be reset by
simply pushing the button (14) downward to force the tip (40) back into
the nest (13).
