Abstract: This disposable device for securing an ostomy bag to a stoma created in a patient, of the type comprising means for joining the ostomy bag to an adhesive seal (5) which is applied on the patient via a contact face, a through-passage (8) communicating with the stoma being formed in the adhesive seal (5), of which the contact face on the patient is at least partially covered by an adhesive composition, is characterized in that the adhesive seal (5) additionally comprises means (15, 16, 17, 18, 19) for detecting wetness of the adhesive composition and means for triggering an alarm when a predetermined level of wetness is reached in the adhesive composition.

Abstract: A corner seal for rebates includes a base (1) covered on one side (4) with an adhesive, a flexible lip (6) secured to the other side (5) of the base (1). The adhesive is a run (3) of adhesive and the base (1) is equipped with two lateral wings (2a, 2b) which between them form an angle approximately equal to the angle of the rebate (8).

Abstract: In the method and the machine for manufacturing a bundle (33) of thread-like elements such as tubes or electric cables of finite length and including at least one junction point for a branch, and in which the elements of the bundle are covered by a tape (31) of thermofusible insulating material wrapped transversely about the bundle with the longitudinal edges (31a, 31b) of the tape being united by welding, two rows each comprising a plurality of wheels (9 to 14) for driving the bundle (33) and the tape (31) are provided, the wheels pressing against the tape, a V-shape being previously imparted to the tape by a guide situated upstream from the wheels, said rows of wheels defining between them a through path (18) for the bundle, the path being upwardly open and passing successively beneath a first horizontal guide (23) for folding down one of the sides of the V-shape against the bundle, beneath a nozzle (36) for blowing hot air into the angle formed between the folded-down side (31a) and the non-folded-down sid

Abstract: A sealing panel for automobile doors maintains weather-tight characteristics without degrading the acoustic response of a loudspeaker mounted in the panel. The panel includes a cup-shaped loudspeaker housing having a back which is provided with cells. The cells prevent reflection of sound radiated from the rear of the loudspeaker. The cells are open at one end, where they interface with the back of the loudspeaker housing, and the opposite ends of the cells have at least one opening therein. The panel is made from a sheet material such as a thermosetting plastic. The cells may be frustoconical with an average diameter between 3-20 mm and a depth of about 3-25 mm.

Abstract: A twin-wall composite lining for automobiles is mounted between the structure of the door and an interior covering including an internal panel providing a seal. It comprises over at least part of its surface a twin-wall delimiting at least one integral volume or cavity used to implement one or more additional functions, including the provision of ducting for air from an air conditioner or electrical cables. Applications include lining automobile doors.
