Patent EP-0902696-B1 (EP)
Inventor: GROSS JOSEPH
IPC: A61M5/158

Abstract: A liquid drug delivery device is adapted to be adhered to the skin of a subject by a base member defining a skin-contacting surface having an adhesive coating. A columnar cartridge serves as reservoir for the drug and is incorporated in a housing which is connected to the base member such that in use the longitudinal axis of the cartridge is disposed substantially parallel to the skin-contacting surface. A delivery needle communicating in use with the interior of the cartridge penetrates the skin of the subject when the housing snaps downward relative to the base member. This action also causes the actuation of a citric acid/sodium bicarbonate gas generator which generates a gas to move a piston within the cartridge, compressing the drug compartment. This compression causes a stopper to be penetrated by a conduit in communication with the delivery needle, allowing the drug to be ejected from the compartment through the needle and into the subcutaneous tissue of the subject.

Abstract: A furniture unit composed of two bedsprings (11,15) which, in the folded position, acts as sofa or single bed; by rotating the extra bed (11,47), which, in the folded position, is arranged upside down below the sofa (15,46,54), the lower bed is arranged above the sofa in a bunk-bed configuration. The ladder (60) and the associated barrier are folded up and hinged horizontally to the rear long side of the second bed (11,47) when the second bed is not being used; during conversion into a bunk bed, they rotate together with the bed and are arranged on the outer side thereon. The ladder (60), by rotating about two pivots, is arranged vertically, acting as ladder and as support for the open unit, and the safety barrier of the upper bed rises as the ladder, to which it is articulated, rotates. By performing the operations in reverse, the piece of furniture is converted back into a sofa. <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to echo cancelling methods used in telephone systems, more specifically to echo cancelling methods based on two filters. The echo cancelling method according to the invention employs two adaptive filters, namely, a main filter (10) and a background filter (50). The purpose of the background filter (50) is to guard against errors in the main filter (10) model. The main and background filter coefficients are updated on different conditions, and the residual signals (L_RES1, L_RES2) produced by the filters are compared to each other. The set of filter coefficients used for generating the echo canceller's output signal (S_OUT) is selected on the basis of said comparison of the residual signals. The selection of the set of filter coefficients is carried out either by copying the background filter coefficients to the main filter or by interchanging the background and main filter functions. Operation of the echo canceller in a double talk situation is enhanced by comparing the residual signals produced by the two filters frequency band by frequency band, thus avoiding errors caused by echo-resembling correlations caused by random loud sounds in double talk situations. <IMAGE>

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'altération de la synthèse mammaire de graisses pour améliorer la qualité du lait. Ces modifications apportées dans la composition du lait assurent une meilleure qualité nutritionnelle en accord avec les recommandations actuelles alimentaires. L'invention concerne particulièrement de nouvelles données ayant trait à des acides linoléiques conjugués spécifiques (CLA) et à de puissants anticarcinogènes à l'état naturel. Au cours d'une expérience visant à améliorer l'acide linoléique conjugué contenu dans le lait, on a découvert que l'infusion abomasale d'un seul isomère TFA était à l'origine d'une importante dépression de matières grasses. Cette découverte est plutôt surprenante étant donné qu'il a toujours été démontré que les graisses corporelles et les matières grasses du lait se modifiaient mutuellement chez les vaches en lactation et indiquait une réduction des graisses corporelles CLA chez les animaux en croissance. L'invention démontre qu'une augmentation du contenu de matières grasses d'un isomère TFA spécifique trans-10 C18:1. (Griinare et al., 1997, 1998) entraîne la MFD. Cette observation remet en question les expériences effectuées à ce jour démontrant qu'une augmentation dans le TFA total était à l'origine de la MFD. Ces résultats sont valables pour les mammifères domestiques en lactation (p. ex. les cochons). Au moment de l'infusion de CLA, une partie des CLA est transférée vers la glande mammaire et introduite dans les matières grasses du lait. En l'occurrence, les procédés faisant l'objet de cette invention augmentent les niveaux de CLA contenus dans le lait, améliorant ainsi la qualité nutritionnelle du lait pour les êtres humains associée à la présence de CLA.
