Abstract: Fastening elements (28) which serve to fasten insulating panels (30) to building components (31) are fixed by means of setting tools. With the aid of a connecting region (26a), which produces a frictional force, on a guide tube (25) of the setting tool, it is possible to carry out a setting check once the setting operation is completed. For this purpose, the frictional force between the guide tube (25) and the interior of the hollow shaft (28b) of the fastening element (28) is greater than the frictional force between hollow shaft (28b) and insulating panels (30). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The tracks of d.c. railways (rail earth) used to conduct the current must be electrically insulated from earth potential. At places where the potential difference between the rail earth and earth potential can reach unacceptable levels, voltage flashover fuses are fitted for protection against dangerous body currents. The condition of these fuses must be continuously monitored so that those which have blown may be replaced immediately. This is at present done by regular track patrols. According to the invention, the potential difference between the rail earth (3) and the earth potential (4) is detected by a reporting device (5) and the condition with the appropriate address is transmitted to an evaluation device and stored therein. If a fuse (2) has blown, the reporting device (5) sends an error message to the evaluation device so that the fuse (2) concerned can be properly replaced. The ease of fitting of the reporting device (5) and the use of radio transmission facilities make it possible to apply the system of the invention directly to existing fuses (2), thus permitting the economical and permanent monitoring of the condition of the fuses (2).

Abstract: Block or plug implants provide weight-bearing support for adjacent vertebrae in a vertebral column while allowing sufficient area between and beside the plugs for packing of autologous bone graft to allow bony healing and fusion. The plugs have a laterally directed slot to allow ingrowth of blood supply from the side and to allow locking the permanent device in place with living bone. The plugs have a patterned surface to grip the vertebrae. Plugs used for fusion in the L4-5 and L5-S1 levels are wedged-shaped to reproduce the normal shape of these discs, which are higher anteriorly than posteriorly. The height of the plugs is greater than the width. The implants are made of a biocompatible carbon fiber reinforced polymer or alternately made of traditional orthopaedic implant materials such as chrome cobalt, stainless steel or titanium. In the surgical procedure, undamaged annulus fibrous disc tissue connecting the adjacent vertebrae is preserved and a pair of side-by-side implant plugs are forced into side-by-side transverse channels in the adjoining vertebrae to stretch the remaining annulus and support body weight applied through the vertebrae. The plugs are bottomed in the channels on cortex bone and bone ingrowth and fusion is facilitated by packing a patient's own graft into the center of the plug and beside and between the two adjacent plugs.

Abstract: The method involves using an echo compensator with a finite impulse response (FIR) filter (5). The filter reproduces the expected echoes, which is then subtracted from the affected signal. The filter coefficients (c1,...cN) are determined according to a normalised least mean square algorithm (NLMS algorithm). The step width (alpha) in the NLMS algorithm is varied according to signal source (1) surrounding conditions, echo compensator efficiency and interference level. A normalising signal for the filter is determined from the largest coefficient and then for all coefficients so that coefficient values are dynamically scaled. The shortest signal path time from the source to a sink (2) is determined according to largest coefficient temporal distance. From this the effective range of the echo compensator is determined. This information is used to estimate the remaining rest coupling.

Abstract: Echographic imaging (such as used for medical diagnosis) uses the injection of specific contrast agents in the body, or more generally in the region to be imaged. Different frequency dependent echographic behavior of the ultrasound contrast agents containing microbubbles as compared to echographic behavior of tissue without contrast agents is exploited by providing separated spectral echo responses and then combining them in ways to enhance image contrast. These imaging principles exploit certain physical "signatures" of the contrast agent responses, allowing increased contrast with respect to tissue background. This contrast enhancement is much larger than what is determined from direct echo amplitude monitoring.
