Abstract: L'invention concerne un implant chirurgical bioabsorbable, destiné à être utilisé pour maintenir des tissus mous à une position plus élevée à l'intérieur du corps. L'implant chirurgical de cette invention comprend une tige permettant de relier cet implant à un os ou à des tissus durs, cette tige étant par ailleurs fixée à la tête dudit implant. Cette tête présente une surface inférieure concave, de sorte qu'une suture (ou plusieurs sutures) peut (peuvent) facilement être enroulée(s) autour de ladite tige, en-dessous de la tête de l'implant, puis bloquée(s) dans cette position, ladite tête étant resserrée contre l'os ou les tissus durs, et la tige poussée ou vissée dans cet os ou ces tissus durs. La tige et la tête de l'implant sont en outre fabriquées à partir d'un polymère, copolymère, alliage polymère, ou composite résorbable, ce qui permet d'exercer une certaine force pendant un intervalle au moins égal au temps nécessaire au rétablissement du patient. L'implant chirurgical, qui est ensuite sensiblement résorbé par le corps pendant un laps de temps suffisant pour permettre le rétablissement dudit patient, peut en particulier être utilisé pour des actes de chirurgie endoscopique de remodelage du visage ou des sourcils, mais aussi pour des interventions chirurgicales endoscopiques cosmétiques, plastiques, et de reconstruction, qui nécessitent l'application de sutures pour retendre des tissus.

Abstract: Cette invention se rapporte au domaine de la médecine et peut être utilisée afin de produire un antisérum spécifique et afin d'effectuer des diagnostics immunologiques de tumeurs malignes. Ce procédé de production d'antisérum consiste à prélever un embryon au stade foetal, chez des animaux d'un même type génétique, de manière à obtenir une suspension cellulaire. Après immunisation, on prélève des cellules de la rate chez l'animal, on sépare les lymphocytes et on immunise l'animal de cette même lignée génétique à l'aide de la suspension de lymphocytes. On obtient ensuite un antisérum auquel on ajoute des cellules provenant d'organes intacts de ces mêmes animaux. Le mélange est enfin décanté et le liquide situé au-dessus des sédiments est filtré. Afin d'effectuer un diagnostic, le filtrât est ajouté au sang du sujet, et les résultats sont obtenus par immuno-fluorescence, par examen du sang ou à l'aide d'autre procédés de diagnostic immunologique. Il est ainsi possible de diagnostiquer une tumeur lorsque l'on obtient des valeurs fiables qui diffèrent de valeurs de référence.

Patent CA-2351184-A1 (CA)
Title: Bus management method
Inventor: MATSUNO KATSUMI
IPC: G06F13/42
Filed: 1994-07-19
Abstract: A bus management node 11 has a register for channels in use REG1 and.a bus capacity register REG2. Before starting the synchronous communication, each node 12 transmits a read-out command to the register for channels in use REG1 and the register for channels in use REG1 in order to read out their contents for ascertaining the number of the un-used channel and the residual capacity. If there is any un-used channel and any residual bus capacity, the node 12 transmits write commands to these registers REG1 and REG2 so that the number of the channel to be in use and the capacity of the bus to be in use will be stored in the register for channels in use REG1 and the bus capacity register REG2. When carrying out the writing in REG1 and REG2, the node 12 compares read channel state information and read bus state information read out by the read-out command with channel state information and bus state information in REG1 and REG2 respectively. If the read channel information and the bus state information are identical to the channel state information and the bus state information in REG1 and REG2 respectively, it writes new channel information and new bus state information. This makes it possible to eliminate the possibility of wirting by other nodes.

IPC: B60L5/28
Filed: 2000-01-28
Abstract: A device for determining the pressure between a contact wire and a pantograph of an electrically-powered vehicle is provided with a measuring device for the static pressure, which is determined based on the distance between two elastically interconnected components of the pantograph, this being dependant on the static pressure; and an acceleration sensor which is coupled with the pantograph in order to determine the accelerations of the pantograph in the direction of the pressure. The output signal of the acceleration sensor is combined with the output signal of the measuring device in order to calculate the pressure. The acceleration sensor is configured in such a way that it has a seismic mass (3) which is spring-mounted on the pantograph (6). The position of the seismic mass in relation to the pantograph is detected optically and a corresponding optical signal is then transmitted to an optoelectrical converter which is separate from the pantograph in terms of potential.
