Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the education of behavior to an animal held on a leash. A leash (14, 16, 18) is employed for a positive holding of the animal carrying a collar (16) or a harness, wherein the leash is composed of a handle (18) constructed to be held by a user, and of a cord (14) mechanically connected to the handle (18) and the harness (16). The device comprises in addition a disciplining and sanctioning feature of the type creating a moderate disturbance, which moderate disturbance is perceived by the animal and ordering member for putting the sanctioning means into action. The sanctioning means are of the type of projecting a fluid, wherein the device comprises a reservoir container of fluid (2) under pressure, a valve (4) for releasing the fluid outside of said reserve container, a nozzle (6) projecting the released fluid and a member of ordering (8) of the opening of the valve. The ordering member (8) is supported by the handle (18), while the spraying nozzle (6) is supported by the collar (16).

Abstract: Un dispositif de commande de puissances pour un système de télécommunications AMDC utilise différents types de codes d'étalement. Dans le dispositif de commande de puissance pour un dispositif de station de base, un premier générateur de canaux produit un signal de premier canal par étalement de premières données d'entrée (DONNEES1) avec un code orthogonal et un second générateur de canaux produit un signal de second canal par étalement de secondes données d'entrée (DONNEES2) avec un code quasi-orthogonal. Le signal du second canal a un gain supérieur à celui du signal du premier canal. Un premier contrôleur (17) de gain commande la puissance du signal du premier canal et un second contrôleur (18) de gain commande la puissance du signal du second canal. Un additionneur (20) additionne le signal du premier canal au signal du second canal, et un étaleur (21) étale un signal produit en sortie par l'additionneur avec un code de bruit pseudo-aléatoire (PN). La station de base transmet un message de demande de réponse à une station mobile par le second canal et elle retransmet le message de demande de réponse après augmentation de la puissance de transmission du second canal, lorsqu'un message de réponse n'est pas reçu de la station mobile.

Abstract: A resorbing, flexible implant in the form of a continuous macro-porous sheet (42) is disclosed. The implant is adapted to protect biological tissue defects, especially bone defects in the mammalian skeletal system, from the interposition of adjacent soft tissues during in vitro repair. The membrane (42) has pores with diameters from 20 microns to 3000 microns. This porosity is such that vasculature, and connective tissue cells derived from the adjacent soft tissues including the periosteum, can proliferate through the membrane into the bone defect. The thickness of the sheet is such that the sheet has both sufficient flexibility to allow the sheet to be shaped to conform to the configuration of a skeletal region to be repaired, and sufficient tensile strength to allow the sheet to be so shaped without damage to the sheet. The sheet provides enough inherent mechanical strength to withstand pressure from adjacent musculature, and does not collapse.

Abstract: A bipolar surgical device includes a pair of actuable jaws. A first electrode member which usually includes a line of electrically coupled tissue penetrating elements is formed on one of the jaws, and a second electrode member which usually includes a line of electrically coupled tissue penetrating elements is formed on the same or the other jaw. The electrode members are laterally spaced-apart and arranged in a parallel, usually linear manner so that the lateral distance therebetween remains generally constant. In operation, tissue may be grasped between the jaws so that the electrode members contact and/or the tissue penetrating elements enter into the tissue. By energizing the electrode members at opposite polarities using a high frequency energy source, tissue between the jaws will be heated, coagulated, and/or necrosed, while heating of tissue outside of the lines will be minimized.
