Title: Contact block for therapeutic or esthetic treatment of the skin by electricity
Inventor: RAMOND GERARD
IPC: A61N1/04
Filed: 1990-02-15
Granted: 2000-05-16
Abstract: The contact block (1), intended to ensure the passage of a current for therapeutic or aesthetic treatment of the skin of a subject (5) from a cable (2) connected to a suitable generator in an electroconductive cast (6), comprises a plate (3) of elastomer charged with a conducting powder in contact with the core of the cable (2), and an insulating lining (4) cast onto a first face and the edge of the plate (3) lying flush with the second exposed face (3b). The block (1) rests via its lining (4) on a first layer (6a) of the cast (6), which is applied to the skin of the subject (5). A second cast layer (6b) is applied on top of the first layer (6a), in electrical continuity with the latter, and covers the second exposed face (3b) of the plate (3). Thus, the current cannot pass directly through the first layer (6a) of the plate (3) to the underlying skin of the subject (5), which avoids burns due to excessive current density.

Abstract: A method used in a computer system for managing attribute data for subobjects of a class of data objects. When a data object is created, a set of default attributes are stored in internal memory in association with the data object for all instances of subobjects of the data object. A set of attributes for overriding the default attributes are stored in internal memory for each instance of a subobject.    When a query or system response is required which requires knowledge of the attributes for an instance of a subobject, these final attributes are formed by fetching the default attributes associated with the data object and by overwriting the default attributes with the overriding attributes, if any, associated with the instance of the subobject. In a preferred embodiment, the invention is used in a computer windowing system in which windows are associated with data objects called widgets or gadgets and subobjects of the data objects are associated with items which are displayed within an associated window.

Abstract: ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE   In a wide area cordless telephone system, an individual-call signal is generated if an incoming call from the telephone network is an individual call to one of cordless stations of a group and a group-call signal is generated if it is directed to all cordless stations of the group. A group of access units are associated with the cordless station of each group to establish a control channel and speech channels with the cordless stations. The access units respond to the individual-call signal by transmitting a speech-channel identifier to one of the cordless stations through the control channel and transmitting a ringing signal through a speech channel specified by the speech-channel identifier. In response to the group-call signal, speech-channel identifiers are successively transmitted from the access units to the cordless stations through the control channel and group ringing signals are respectively sent to the cordless stations through speech channels specified by the speech-channel identifiers. In a modified embodiment, the cordless stations receive pairing identifiers each containing a pair of an access unit identifier and a cordless station identifier and transmit a response containing one pairing identifier that specifies the own station. The access units also receive pairing identifiers from the controller for detecting a match with those received from the cordless stations. If a match is detected by each access unit, it is entitled to send a speech-channel identifier to the cordless station which is specified by the matched identifiers.
