Abstract: An automatic method and device for calendering aluminum profiles for producing spacer frames for insulating glazing units, the method consisting in producing calendering by preliminarily deforming the surface on which minute holes are formed so as to obtain an inside curve. A consecutive plurality of minute bends, the pitch increment whereof tends to zero and the bending angle increment whereof tends to zero, is then performed at an automatically controlled microbending station.

Abstract: This invention involves a procedure for efficiently reading chips sewn on garments placed in the collection chamber of automatic sorting systems, consisting in moving said garments with ID chip in the collection chamber when the chips are not read by the reading device with which the chamber is equipped.

Abstract: Device for filling spacer frames for insulating glass with hygroscopic material, the frames comprising a first wall and a second wall that lie respectively outside and inside the insulating glass and two third side walls arranged adjacent to the glass sheets forming the insulating glass. The device comprises first means for forming at least one opening at the second inner wall of the frame and second means for inserting the hygroscopic material. There are also third means which seal the opening formed on the second inner wall.

Abstract: The present invention pertains to an instrument to insert stents into arterial ducts in which a coaxial hose and sheath together, adjacent to a push rod, define a housing (27) designed to receive the stent (28) and the sheath slides longitudinally with respect to the hose due to the thrust of a fluid pressurized in a chamber (22) with closed ends between the hose and the sheath behind the housing of the stent, the movement of the sheath with respect to the hose causing the stent to be released.
