Abstract: The self-contained endocavitary probe device for managing stress incontinence is capable of being inserted into the vaginal or rectal cavity of a person. The device includes at least one self-contained electrical power supply so as to supply power to at least one device for measuring the variation in a parameter resulting from physical stress and to at least one electrical muscle stimulation device in contact with at least one muscle capable of maintaining urinary continence. The electrical stimulation device is activated in the event of variation in the parameter.

Abstract: The diagnostic probe can be inserted into a vaginal or rectal body endo-cavity of the human body so as to measure the displacement of the walls of the endo-cavity and organs that surround the endo-cavity and so as to measure the displacement and the passive and active resistance of at least one muscle of the perineum. The diagnostic probe includes at least one endo-cavitary body provided with at least two pressure sensors arranged in the same plane and acting either in the same direction or in two opposite directions. The endo-cavitary body can be deformable without opposing resistance and matching the walls of the endo-cavity. The endo-cavitary body includes at least one device for measuring the displacement of the endo-cavitary wall along the three axes X, Y and Z.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hookah comprising a filter bottle (1) provided with a suction outlet (10), a bowl (21) designed to contain a combustible mix (M) to be smoked, and a plunger tube (22) connecting the bowl (21) inside the bottle (1) and dipping into the water contained in the bottle to filter the descending smoke. The hookah according to the invention also comprises a supporting structure (3), an energy source (4), and a heat generator (5), the supporting structure (3) holding the bottle (1), the energy source (4) and the heat generator (5) in a relatively stable position, and the heat generator (5) being located above the bowl (21) and supplied with the energy source (4) during use to heat the combustible mix (M) to a suitable heating temperature.

Abstract: The invention relates to a winding device and process to produce packages from several separate continuous fibers. The installation of this invention includes a spinneret receiving a thermoplastic material in the molten state, a rotating spindle carrying a support and drawing strands of material from the orifices of the spinneret and winding of the resulting fibers, a gathering and guiding device and a crisscrossing device including a fiber guide with an opening opposite the spindle communicating with an interior guide zone provided with at least two notches on its periphery.
