Abstract: La présente innovation concerne un clou centromédullaire du fémur dit ascendant (5), c'est-à-dire introduit par l'échancrure intercondylienne. Ce clou centromédullaire est plein incurvé dans le plan sagittal (4), verrouillable mécaniquement à ses deux extrémités. Le verrouillage distal à proximité du genou est réalisable grâce à la fixation à l'extrémité du clou, située dans l'échancrure intercondylienne, d'un guide universel de verrouillage (27) par l'intermédiaire d'un adaptateur (28). Lors de son introduction, le clou est précédé d'un perforateur (17) dont la morphologie est très voisine de celle de l'adaptateur. Ce perforateur sort du fémur en avant de la fossette digitale. Le guide universel lui est assujetti et permet le verrouillage proximal du fémur. Il suffit alors d'enlever le guide universel et le perforateur qui sont amovibles. Ce clou ascendant réduit automatiquement la fracture (supracondylienne, éventuellement sus et intercondylienne) dans les plans frontal et sagittal car il aligne l'orifice d'entrée (intercondylien) et une longue portion de canal médullaire. De plus, il atteint la région sous-trochantérienne. La présence d'un perforateur permet d'utiliser des clous de longueur identique quelle que soit la longueur du fémur des blessés (14-15).

Abstract: Recouvrement (14) de sac de sécurité gonflable destiné à servir de dispositif gonflable de protection complémentaire, comprenant un film de recouvrement constitué d'un matériau polymère. Ce film de recouvrement présente une zone plus faible correspondant à une couture arrachable (16), conçue pour guider l'arrachement de ce film lors du gonflage du sac gonflable de sécurité. Cette zone correspondant à la couture arrachable est affaiblie par photodégradation, c'est-à-dire par une exposition sélective à une lumière ultraviolette (20) qui rompt les liaisons polymères du matériau polymère dans la zone occupée par la couture. La photodégradation réduit la résistance à la traction et/ou le coefficient d'allongement (mesurée à la rupture) de la zone correspondant à cette couture arrachable (16), par rapport au reste du film (24) de recouvrement du sac de sécurité gonflable.

Abstract: Sensors (SEN1,2,3) monitor, in parallel, a parameter from the same part of the process, producing input signals (E1,2,3) in digital form from the analogue to digital converter (EIN1,2,3). The signals are fed to individual programable logic controls (PLC) and memory units (MEM1,2,3) linked to programable test units (TES1,2,3). Output signals (S1,2,3) produce control signals (R1,2,3) which are compared in the comparator (SEC) producing an actuating signal (CL) based on majority voting i.e. comparing all control signals for variation in value and accepting two or three similar signals as the true value. The control signals actuate a regulator (REG) to activate control action in the process (e.g. valve opening or, in an emergency, process shut down). The test units are programable with the same control information as in the PLC's and produce an output signal in response to the same input signal (E). The two signals are compared in the memory units (MEM1,2,3) and, if different, generate alarm signals (AL1,2,3). The supervision unit (SUP) compares all inputs and decides on activation of an emergency alarm (EM) using similar voting system as described for the comparator (SEC). Network connections provide an overview of the system activity.

Abstract: A method of fabrication with the formation of a receiving panel which defines a plurality of spaced-apart parallel plows extending longitudinally. The panel has an open surface along which the plows are exposed and an opposing surface from which the plows are not accessible. The plows may be formed by adhering substrates to a separate veneer layer to define the plows between the substrates. It is preferable that the veneer layer be formed of wood, but the substrates can be formed of a less expensive material, such as composite material. Once the receiving panel has been fabricated, it is bowed to form an arc about an axis parallel to the plows. This can be done by passing the panel, carried by a belt, between two rollers that are configured to define between them a profile corresponding to the arc of the panel. While the panel is in this bowed condition, strips, made of wood, are inserted in the plows. The strips can be formed by opposing laminations that are not adhered to each other. An adhesive is applied to an interface between the strips and the surfaces of the plows and edge strips. The panel is then caused to return to an unbowed condition. The composite panel can be cut through the strips to form a plurality of segments that can be used as engineered mouldings. Cutting can be done by passing the composite panel through a rip saw having a plurality of parallel blades.
