Abstract: L'invention concerne plusieurs procédés et un appareil destinés à effectuer une stimulation électrique intracrânienne dans le but de traiter ou de modifier les fonctions neurales d'un patient. Plusieurs modes de réalisation selon l'invention visent à améliorer ou à modifier durablement une fonction neurale dans l'activité neurale du patient afin d'activer une fonction neurale particulière. Cette modification durable apportée à l'activité neurale est appelée "neuroplasticité". Les procédés selon l'invention peuvent servir à traiter les lésions cérébrales (par exemple, accidents vasculaires cérébraux, traumas, etc.), les maladies neurologiques (par exemple, Alzheimer, Pick, Parkinson, etc.), et/ou les affections neurologiques (par exemple, l'épilepsie, la dépression, etc.). Les procédés selon l'invention peuvent également servir à améliorer la fonction neurale de cerveaux normaux et sains (par exemple, apprentissage, mémoire, etc.), ou à contrôler les fonctions sensorielles (par exemple, la douleur). Certains modes de réalisation des procédés selon l'invention stimulent électriquement le cerveau sur un site de stimulation dans lequel intervient la neuroplasticité. Ce site de stimulation peut être différent de la zone du cerveau dans laquelle l'activité neurale est généralement présente afin d'effectuer la fonction neurale particulière conformément à l'organisation fonctionnelle du cerveau. Dans un mode de réalisation dans lequel la neuroplasticité liée à la fonction neurale intervient dans le cerveau, le procédé peut consister à identifier l'emplacement où la neuroplasticité est présente. Dans une variante dans laquelle la neuroplasticité n'intervient pas dans le cerveau, le procédé consiste à induire la neuroplasticité sur un site de stimulation dans lequel il est censé intervenir. Plusieurs modes de réalisation de ces procédés qui sont censé produire un effet durable sur l'activité neurale visée sur le site de stimulation utilisent des impulsions électriques qui augmentent le potentiel membranaire au repos des neurones sur le site de stimulation jusqu'à lui faire atteindre un niveau infraliminaire.

Abstract: A modular conveyor belt forming a hinge between consecutive belt rows (14A-C) hingedly connected by a non-circular hinge pin (34). Hinge eyes (28) along the forward and rearward ends of each row (14A-C) of belt modules include aligned openings for the hinge pins (34). The belt rows (14A-C) are arranged end-to-end with the hinge eyes (28) of adjacent rows interleaved. In one version, the hinge pins (34) are inserted in the passageway formed by the aligned openings of the interleaved hinge eyes. The hinge pins (34) include first (40) and second (41) hinge pin members, such as flat strips. The openings in the hinge eyes (28) are characterized by a narrow slotted portion (32) for restraining the first hinge pin member (40) against rotation within the slotted portion and a wider sector-shaped portion (33) that allows the second hinge pin member (41) to rotate relative to the first hinge pin member (40). In another version, a single non-circular hinge pin having a convex rocker face along one side is received in aligned openings in the interleaved sets of hinge eyes of consecutive rows. The convex rocker faces rock on convex rocker surfaces bounding the second aligned openings as the belt articulates at the hinge formed at the hinge pin.

Abstract: Apparatus for attaching a downhole isolation, production, or testing tool is disclosed such that the tool is mechanically attached to a mandrel in a manner that is highly resistant to axial movement. The mechanical connection resists high temperatures, high pressures, and corrosive fluids and gases that may be encountered in the well without the use of welding to a casing mandrel. In general, the connection includes at least one groove or channel (48) cut in an outer wall of the casing mandrel, and at least one partially or fully annular slot (62) on the inside surface of the tool oriented to correspond with the groove(s) in the outer wall of the casing mandrel. At least one lock (64) is situated in the corresponding slot (62) and the groove (48). The lock (64) engages the flanks of the slot (62) and groove (48) sufficiently to resist shears loads applied by compression or tension in the string, and thereby restrains axial movement of the valve assembly relative to the casing mandrel.  In one embodiment, the lock is one or more wires (64), although other mechanical locking devices may be installed to provide the same function.

Abstract: The packet loss ratio for a network is measured using only end-point packet counter or byte counter data received from ingress and egress network elements, or all edge routers attached to edge network elements in a virtual private network (VPN). After preprocessing the packet count data from the end-points, the data signal is put through a low pass filter of one or more tap sizes to remove high frequency variations in the ingress and egress packet count data due to the inability to sample selected data sets simultaneously.  After filtering the data may be integrated in order to increase detection of small amounts of data packet loss. In order to determine if measurable loss has been detected the standard deviation of the signal is calculated over a selected set of data points prior to the window in which the packet loss ratio is calculated. If the detected packet loss is greater than a predetermined detectability threshold based on the computed standard deviation for a target threshold rate for a certain filter size then the loss rate is reported.

Abstract: A mobile router and a correspondent router, each configured for routing services for nodes within their routing prefixes associated with their respective routing tables, establish a secure, bidirectional tunnel based on a messaging protocol between each other and a route server resource having a prescribed security relationship with the mobile router and correspondent router. The mobile router sends a query via its home agent to the route server resource to identify the correspondent router serving the correspondent node.  The mobile router sends a binding update request, specifying a home address and care-of address for the mobile router, to the correspondent router for establishment of a bidirectional tunnel. The correspondent router, upon validating the home address is reachable via the care-of address, establishes the bidirectional tunnel, and updates its routing tables to specify that prescribed address prefixes are reachable via the mobile router home address.

Abstract: A blend of two partly incompatible polymers is extruded to form a film under conditions such that the alloy in the blend comprises fibrils extending mainly in one direction, the width and thickness of each fibril having a mean lower than 5 ~m, the fibrils being formed of the polymer component having a higher melting point, and the fibrils being surrounded by a matrix of the second polymer, which has a lower coefficient of elasticity. The special morphology is achieved by providing grids (301, 302) in a grid chamber upstream of the exit orifice of the extrusion die, and by sequential hot stretching at a temperature at which the higher melting polymer is at least partly crystalline, and cold stretching, at which both polymers are substantially solid. The second, cold stretching step, is carried out under conditions to give an elongation at break at 20~C of at least 25%. The films are of particular value for forming crosslaminates having high shock resistance.  Preferably the polymer forming fibrils is polypropylene and the polymer forming the matrix is an ethylene polymer, preferably LLDPE.
