Abstract: The present disclosure relates to hydrogels based on crosslinked polysaccharides having ability to create moderate volumes which are maintained over time. The hydrogels have a modification ratio less than or equal to 1% and a projection index PIdx ranging from 50 to less than 80%.

Abstract: A method for evaluating the mechanical performance of a filler gel, incudes the steps of subjecting a bolus of this gel, present with a predefined initial thickness d0 between two pressure surfaces, to a predefined compression force F. The development is captured in the variation of the thickness of the gel thus compressed over the course of time. The method includes parameterizing a mathematical model approximating the development observed on the basis of the capture performed, and determining, from the model, a limiting thickness d? to which the gel tends to develop over the course of time. Information is generated relating to the ability of the gel to maintain its thickness in the tissues, in particular a projection index, by comparing the limiting thickness d? against the initial thickness d0.

Abstract: The invention has for object a method of selecting a composition comprising crosslinked hyaluronic acid (HA) and a low proportion of soluble hyaluronic acid for use in limiting the risk of appearance of an adverse side effect associated with the administration of a composition comprising crosslinked HA.

Abstract: A hyaluronic acid-based aqueous gel including crosslinked hyaluronic acid and from 30 to 70% by mass with respect to the total mass of hyaluronic acid, of a water-soluble hyaluronic acid. A method for preparing an aqueous gel having at least a crosslinked hyaluronic acid and at least an uncrosslinked hyaluronic acid. Also an aqueous gel obtainable by the method compositions, a cosmetic and/or dermatological composition including the aqueous gels, and a kit comprising a pre-filled syringe comprising the aqueous gel or said composition. These gels and compositions are useful in particular for treating an alteration in the surface appearance of the skin and/or for augmenting and/or filling soft tissue.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a crosslinked hyaluronic acid gel which derives from the crosslinking of hyaluronic acid or of a salt thereof in the presence of at least an effective amount of at least one endogenous polyamine as a crosslinking agent, said crosslinking being carried out under conditions favorable to the coupling of said hyaluronic acid and of said endogenous polyamine(s).

Abstract: A processor is disclosed for ciphering of first data. The processor includes a key store and a first data store. In use the processor for ciphering the first data in accordance with a first cipher process and a first secret key to provide output data, during ciphering of the first data inserting within the cipher processor other data for ciphering in accordance with at least a portion of the first cipher process, the other data inserted within a sequence of cipher processor operations and scheduled for obfuscating the output data.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for intermixing a first stream of data and a second stream of data. An associated first secret key is expanded to form a first associated expanded secret key. An associated second secret key is expanded to form a second associated expanded secret key. The first stream of data and the second stream of data are intermixed to form a combined stream of data, which is ciphered. The combined stream of data is de-multiplexed after ciphering thereof and provided at an output port.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for providing first data and a first secret key to a cipher processor for ciphering. The first data is ciphered in accordance with a first cipher process and the first secret key to provide output data. Before ciphering of the first data, extra data is inserted within the cipher processor for ciphering in accordance with at least a portion of said first cipher process. The extra data is inserted within a sequence of cipher processor operations for obfuscating the output data.

Abstract: A control interface for the bit rate of digital data to be recorded as well as a control interface for the bit rate of digital data emanating from a reading device, particularly when the digital data constitutes a high bit rate uninterrupted data stream such as a video data stream in the MPEG II format. Each control interface comprises a memory circuit for storing the data to be recorded or to be read and a device for storing the data to be recorded or read in the memory circuit so as to fill the memory circuit to a predetermined level. The storing device includes a gauge for generating an information item giving the fill level of the memory.

Abstract: The coder makes it possible to convert a succession of video and/or audio blocks, consisting of binary combinations of N bits, into a succession of binary data blocks consisting of combinations of N bits, each binary data block corresponding to one video and/or audio block. The coder codes each end binary combination 0 or 2N−1 of each video and/or audio block in the form of a coded binary combination consisting of a nature information item In and a position information item Ip. The nature information item In gives the nature, 0 or 2N−1, of the end binary combination, and the position information item Ip gives the position which the end combination occupies in the video block.
