Abstract: An implant device for bone anchored hearing aids of the type that include a screw-shaped anchoring element for anchorage in the bone tissue, an abutment sleeve for skin penetration and arranged to be connected to the fixture with a screw connection and a tool for installing the implant into the bone tissue. The fixture and the abutment sleeve are made as a pre-mounted unit that unit is arranged to be installed in one step by means of the tool, which is arranged to cooperate with a tool engaging portion on the abutment sleeve. This arrangement requires fewer pieces to handle for the surgeon during the installation, which means that the surgical procedure can be carried out in a simpler and predetermined way, at the same time as the advantages inherent in a two-piece implant device are maintained.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for generating and transmitting frequency division multiplexed signals are described. The methods are well suited for use where a device uses a small subset, M, of a larger set of N subcarrier frequencies at any given time. Each transmitted FDM signal is generated by combining a plurality of individual analog subcarrier signals whose frequency may change, e.g., be hopped as a function of time. Each generated analog subcarrier signal is amplified, e.g., power amplified, and filtered prior to being combined with other analog subcarrier signals. Filters are used to compensate for or correct signal distortions and/or reduce interference between subcarriers. Fixed frequency filters are used in an exemplary frequency hopping OFDM system. In another embodiment, the filters are programmable and change, e.g., in terms of center frequency, to match the selected subcarrier frequency as frequency hopping occurs. The bandwidth of the programmable filters may remain constant.

Abstract: Devices, systems, and methods for suturing of body lumens allow the suturing of vascular puncture sites located at the distal end of a percutaneous tissue tract. An elongated articulated foot is inserted through a penetration and actuated extend the foot carrying suturing attachment cuffs. Needles are advanced from the shaft through the vessel wall outside of the penetration and into engagement with the needle cuffs after the foot has been drawn proximally up against the endothelial surface of the blood vessel. The cuffs lockingly engage the needles and can be withdrawn along the needle paths and through the tissue tract to form a loop of suture across the puncture. The articulating foot may be realigned with the shaft and withdrawn proximally through the tissue tract without dilating the tissue tract.

Abstract: The invention relates to a corn grain-flavouring method. The inventive method consists in creating a hypersaturated brine in a suitably-sized container, using a mixture of water and sodium chloride in suitable quantities in relation to the amount of corn to be treated. The corn grain is then introduced into the aforementioned brine and maintained thus for a period of time necessary in order for the corn to absorb all of the brine. Next, the corn is dried, by spreading same over perforated trays and applying hot air, until the original moisture level of the corn grains is obtained. Subsequently, once the corn has been dried, a surface coating is applied to the grain using a food fixative, such as, for example, a food lacquer and, finally, the corn is packaged.

Abstract: A method of tensioning and operating a belt is applied to a sanding machine comprising an endless abrasive belt (3) trained around an operating unit (2) equipped with an orbiting sanding platen (4) at the bottom of the unit. A roller (14) at the top of the unit (2) is supported by supports (15) and comprises rotational drive means (6). While it operates, the belt (3) is kept in the tensioned state by means (16) for lifting the roller (14), and the tensioned state holds the belt (3) against the active surface (5) of the platen (4).  The turning of the belt (3) is enabled or inhibited by the rotation or stopping of the roller (14) during the steps of changing the working part (10) of the belt (3) and of sanding the panels (1), respectively.  The kinematic coupling between the roller (14) and the belt (3) is achieved by the friction produced by the tensioning action.
