Abstract: L'invention concerne une prothèse amovible (22) pour disque, renflée en son milieu et ayant une section transversale sensiblement rectangulaire avec une hauteur minimale (H) et une largeur (W) supérieure à la hauteur. Cette prothèse est fixée d'une manière amovible à un applicateur (52) permettant une insertion dans la région anatomique entre deux vertèbres adjacentes (16, 18), dont on avait enlevé une portion du disque intervertébral. La prothèse est positionnée par un mouvement antérieur-postérieur dans l'espace du disque vers la position dans laquelle la portion renflée médiane et les portions terminales (25, 36) plus petites de la prothèse viennent s'engager avec les corps (12, 14) de vertèbres adjacentes. Ensuite, la prothèse est tournée pour amener les côtés (34) de la prothèse définissant la hauteur de celle-ci à s'engager avec les corps des vertèbres adjacentes. Un dispositif de verrouillage (24) est ensuite fixé sur la prothèse pour l'empêcher de continuer à tourner. Dans le cas où les vertèbres adjacentes doivent être alignées avant la fusion, on utilise une prothèse allongée (112) qui est fendue longitudinalement en deux éléments juxtaposés (113, 114) mobiles l'un par rapport à l'autre. Cette prothèse est inserée dans l'espace du disque entre deux vertèbres mal alignées (133, 137). Ces éléments sont pourvus de dents (138) pour s'engager avec les vertèbres adjacentes. La prothèse constituée de deux éléments juxtaposés a une forme rectangulaire en coupe transversale, la hauteur (H6) de la section transversale retangulaire étant inférieure à sa largeur (W6), si bien que la prothèse peut être insérée entre des vertèbres adjacentes avec la dimension qui est la plus petite (c'est-à-dire la hauteur) orientée dans la même direction que l'axe de la colonne vertébrale et la dimension qui est la plus grande (c'est-à-dire la largeur) orientée approximativement à angle droit par rapport à cet axe. Ensuite, un élément est déplacé par rapport à l'autre, de la position de juxtaposition suivant l'axe longitudinal de la prothèse vers une seconde position dans laquelle les éléments sont alignés avec les vertèbres adjacentes (qui sont mal alignées) et la prothèse est tournée de 90° pour engager les dents avec les corps des vertèbres adjacentes. Les deux éléments sont ensuite ramenés dans la première position de juxtaposition pour ramener les vertèbres en alignement et la prothèse est tournée sur environ 90° pour désengager les dents des vertèbres, en vue du retrait hors de l'espace du disque.

Abstract: The process and apparatus are characterized by a kinematic, rotatively mounted, bladed or lunated earth-working tool of slight depth, greater width and great length overall, termed an "earth cutter", which penetrates the ground vertically, horizontally or in a pivoted sweep with percussive and pressure-pulsed force, subject to oscillatory pulse control in an energy-minimizing resonance operation, which can destroy buried erratics while at the same time compressing and thereby stabilizing the exposed walls of the excavation, and by special designs in the apparatus that provide for continuous work flow of fill-in construction in the excavation made. The attendant construction work can be a structure-remote drainage system which with moisture-stopping troughs near the ground surface not only captures underground water flows, but also drains off surface water, so that the ground dries out and solidifies and that ground structures integrated in this wide-ranging system are also dried out free of excavated material, while any existing structures built into the ground are circumvented. When the construction is a drainage system, the latter can be ventilated by building in specially designed channel plates together with, for example, windmill-operated central shafts, so that incident groundwater not only is collected and carried off in liquid form, but is evaporated by the underground ventilation in the system of walled drains and so conveyed to the outside air.

Abstract: A solar cell module (206,404) is provided at the position of a heat collecting plate (405) inside a heat collector (200,400), at the position of its window member (204,403) or at the position of its bottom plate. With such constitution, a hybrid system can be achieved in which the hot air can be led into a house while maintaining the performance of solar cells making use of amorphous silicon semiconductors. 
     In the case where solar cells are provided at the position of the heat collecting plate, a resin used as a filler has so high a thermal resistance that the heat conduction to the air may be insufficient to make it impossible to obtain hot air having a sufficiently high temperature. To solve this problem, the solar cell module (206,404) is made to have a smaller thermal resistance on the non-light-receiving side than the thermal resistance on the light-receiving side.

Abstract: An improved substrate support is provided with multiple pressure zones on its surface. A seal area is provided between the different zones to allow different gas pressures in the two zones. A higher gas pressure is provided to a zone corresponding to an area of the substrate where greater heat transfer is desired. The gap between the substrate support and the gas pressure are selected to provide the desired amount of heat transfer. Another aspect is a limited substrate contact using protrusions, to maximize heat transfer gas flow. A closed loop control system varies the heat transfer gas pressure in accordance with a temperature sensor. For an electrostatic chuck, the dielectric thickness is varied to give a higher electrostatic force at the periphery of the substrate.

Abstract: This invention relates to an optical fiber grating and a method of manufacturing the same. According to the method, a hydrogen doping process is performed before ultraviolet irradiation in order to obtain a sufficient photoinduced refractive index change. In particular, a target for the hydrogen doping process of the method is characterized by a coated fiber obtained by covering the outer surface of the bared fiber having a core region and a cladding region with the resin. After the coated fiber is exposed in a hydrogen atmosphere in a predetermined pressurized state for a predetermined period of time, the resin is partially removed. An ultraviolet ray is irradiated on the predetermined area of the bared fiber from which the resin is removed, thereby forming a reflection grating in the core region. The method is also characterized in that the pressure of the hydrogen atmosphere is reduced from the pressurized state while adjusting the pressure reducing rate. Degradation of the bared fiber surface can be prevented, and generation of bubbles or the like between the bared fiber and the resin coating can also be prevented, thereby obtaining an optical fiber grating with high reliability.

Abstract: Data is transferred over a bus from one device to another, or between one
device and another system resource, such as a central processor. This
data is classified into one of several types. "Hard real time" data must
be transferred within a specified time limit or "deadline" and it is
unacceptable to miss a deadline. "Soft real time" data should be
transferred before a deadline and, although some missed deadlines are
tolerable, the lower the number of missed deadline the better. "Loss
sensitive" data has no deadlines, but any loss of data is unacceptable.
"Non-real time" data also has no deadlines, but the lower the time delay
in transferring the data the better. The intelligence that controls the
transfer of data and schedules access to the bus is distributed
throughout the system. Part of this scheduling intelligence is included
in the bus arbiter, while the remainder is incorporated in the devices
themselves.

Abstract: Two microphones (30-1,2) spaced along a duct (31) of an air conditioning system provide inputs to
circuitry whereby the noise being generated (Pf) is distinguished from reflected noise (Pr). The
circuitry imposes a time delay corresponding to the time required for generated noise
to pass from the upstream microphone (30-1) to a canceling speaker (13). The canceling speaker (13)
is driven by the circuitry, subject to the time delay, such that noise at the speaker is
canceled by the appropriately driven speaker. In a preferred embodiment movement
of the speaker (13) is sensed whereby the actual sound being produced can be compared
with the sound required by the canceling speaker driving signal.
