Abstract: A device for the adjustable fastening of an accessory on a gliding board, which comprises a base comprising means for fastening the accessory and which accommodates a bar having a toothed part suitable for positioning in a complementary toothed part secured to the gliding board, which device comprises a crank that can rotate within the base and one end of which is connected to a lever, and wherein the bar has one degree of freedom and a part in contact with the bent part of the crank, so that a first position of the lever corresponds to the low position of the toothed part and a second position corresponds to a high position of the toothed part.

Abstract: A plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system is provided that is configured for Wi-Fi or other wireless network and to be directly plugged into a face plate/workstation. The plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system advantageously provides ease of integration into an existing wired network without the use of a patch cord, security from removal by unauthorized personnel, non obtrusiveness in relation to other face plate/workstation jacks, and the ability to be powered through an Ethernet connection to avoid the need for a separate power source. Furthermore, the plug-in Wi-Fi access point device and system may beneficially permit the integration of complementary connections within the access point including, for example, data, voice, and video connection types.

Abstract: Device for adjustable fixing of an accessory on a board for gliding comprising a base, comprising locations for fixing the accessory and receiving a bar having a toothed part capable of a positioning in a complementary toothed part integral with the board for gliding, wherein the bar is mounted so as to be movable in rotation on the base about an axis, comprises, on either side of this axis, the toothed part and an end, and which comprises a knob capable of occupying two different positions, comprising a cam surface that interacts with the end of the bar such that a first position of the knob corresponds to a low position of the toothed part and a second position corresponds to a high position of the toothed part.

Abstract: Compounds represented by Formula (I): or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, are inhibitors of glycogen phosphorylase and are useful in the prophylactic or therapeutic treatment of diabetes, hyperglycemia, hypercholesterolemia, hyperinsulinemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, atherosclerosis or tissue ischemia e.g. myocardial ischemia, and as cardioprotectants.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula and pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, wherein X1, X2, X3, X4, X5, X5, X7, R1, and Q1 are defined herein, inhibit kinase enzymes and are useful for the treatment and/or prevention of hyperproliferative diseases such as cancer. The compounds are also useful in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, asthma, disease and conditions of the immune system, disease and conditions of the nervous system, cardiovascular diseases, disease and conditions of the eye, dermatological diseases, osteoporosis, diabetes, multiple sclerosis, and infections.

Abstract: A medication tablet dispenser has an upright casing providing a tower which is subdivided by horizontal partitions into eight compartments which individually contain removable holders each containing a charge of tablets to be dispensed. The holders have framing portions which together provide a funnel opening downwardly into a cavity of a blister sheet. The casing is vibrated back and forth about its vertical axis through a small angle to cause tablets in the holders to progress towards an outlet leading into the funnel and having an associated ejector which discharges selected tablets into the funnel when required by a computer program. Conical vibration of the casing is prevented by a connection located on its vertical axis and held stationary by a fixed arm. The ejectors operate in response to slide-rods individually reciprocated by associated solenoids controlled by the computer program.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing metal shapes with a partially or totally polygonal cross-section by means of continuous casting in a double-flanged wheel and continuous rolling using a series of at least 3 pairs of rollers with a peripheral flange, whereby said rollers are alternately horizontally and vertically disposed in a symmetrical position with respect to said shape.

Abstract: A portable apparatus for creating holes in rock. A rock drill connected to a compressed air supply is engaged with a connector attached between the rock drill and a rock bit. The connector has a substantially tubular shaft for transporting compressed air from the air supply to the rock bit. The tubular shaft uniquely maximizes the air available for removing rock cuttings and minimizes the possibility of rock bit sticking in the rock hole. The invention is particularly suited to seismic shothole drilling requiring portable equipment operable by a single person.

Abstract: A link for transmitting digital information is time-shared between a plurality of units under the control of one of the units called the control unit. The control unit communicates with the other units by means of individually addressed signaling cells enabling it to interrogate each unit regularly as to its current status and its requirements for communication via the link and to advise it of at least one particular frame time slot for sending a response and others for sending cells. The invention also concerns units for implementing this method.
