Publication number: 20150051454Abstract: A method for assessing sudomotor function of a patient for evaluating diabetic and autonomous neuropathy is disclosed. The method is performed in a system comprising electrodes intended to be placed on different regions of the patient body, and an adjustable DC source. The method includes applying on the electrodes DC voltage pulses of varying voltage values in order to stress sweat glands, the voltage pulses lasting given durations allowing the stabilization of electrochemical phenomena in the body, near the electrodes; collecting data representative of the current between the electrodes, and of the potential generated on the electrodes for the different DC voltages; from the data, computing results representative of the electrochemical skin conductance of the patient; reconciling the latter data with reference data obtained in the same conditions on patients identified as suffering or not from sudomotor, and identifying the patient as suffering or not from sudomotor dysfunction.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2014Publication date: February 19, 2015Applicant: IMPETO MEDICALInventors: Philippe Brunswick, Kamel Khalfallah, Jean Henry Calvet

Patent number: 8650924Abstract: A bearing block assembly for bearing a pair of rollers which enclose a nip, at one end of the pair, includes two bearing blocks, each of which is intended for bearing a respective roller and which are provided with supporting elements for supporting in a frame. The bearing blocks each have a bearing aperture with a center line or axis, support elements via which the bearing blocks are supported next to one another in such that the center lines or axes of the bearing apertures extend parallel and at a distance from one another, as well as adjusting element via which the mutual distance between the center lines or axes can be adjusted. The support elements include a spring structure which is situated between the bearing blocks and cooperates with both bearing blocks and which is elastically deformable during adjustment of the mutual distance between the center lines or axes.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2011Date of Patent: February 18, 2014Inventor: Jean Henry Robert Madern

Patent number: 6936834Abstract: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for determining stone cells within a sample of wood pulp or paper. According to the instant invention a portion of the sample is irradiated with light at a predetermined wavelength or within a predetermined range of wavelengths. The incident light causes those areas of the sample that are occupied by stone cells to fluoresce strongly relative to the background matrix of wood pulp or paper. The strongly fluorescing stone cells are registered digitally using a detector, or are observed visually by an operator viewing the sample through an ocular device. The absolute number of stone cells per unit area or a stone cell size-distribution-plot is obtained using one of automated or manual image analysis.Type: GrantFiled: July 26, 2002Date of Patent: August 30, 2005Assignee: Alberta Research Council Inc.Inventors: Deborah Jean Henry, Ross S. Chow, Hongqi Yuan

Patent number: 6832089Abstract: Implementation of the sending of short messages to mobile networks with mobile number portability in the same country comprising a computer with SS7 connections able to interrogate all the HLRs of the country where MNP is implemented, being located in an other country or the same. The computer includes a memory cache for all the subscribers of the country which allow to know which HLR to interrogate without searching one they have been found. The memory cache is initially empty and builds once by search of the HLRs when a subscriber does not exist yet in the cache, or when he is ported-out, that is, change its network.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2001Date of Patent: December 14, 2004Assignee: NilcomInventor: Arnaud Luglien Charles Jean Henry-Labordere

Patent number: 6512926Abstract: A system for a GSM mobile telephone belonging to the network of an operator of mobiles for an intended recipient of a short message (other network of mobiles). The short message (SMS) is composed of a routing envelope with a first field (number of, the calling mobile), ct second field (number of the first short message transmission centre (SMSC) of the network of the calling mobile), a third field (number of the called mobile), as well as a field reserved for the text of the message. A numbering plan (PN) contains the numbers of the short message transmission centres and the possible interconnections between the different transmission centres (SMSC) and the switching contains (MSC) of the networks of the called parties (M1a, . . . M4a). A numbering plan manager (GPN) defines the relay transmission center or centres (SMSC) in order to reach the switching center (MSC) visited by the called party.Type: GrantFiled: April 26, 2000Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignee: NilcomInventor: Arnaud Luglien Charles Jean Henry-Labordere

Patent number: 4308046Abstract: Apparatus for treating fragile vitreous articles such as glass sheets which are apt to break when the treatment involves thermal conditioning. The apparatus includes spaced conveyor members for conveying the articles in a predetermined direction over a treatment area. To assist in the easy removal of any broken fragments of said vitreous articles, the treatment area is located beneath the conveyor members and has a plurality of heads for treating the underside of the articles. The treatment heads are retractable from a treating position, where they project into the spaces between the conveyor members, into a retracted position, where they are spaced beneath the conveyor members. A sweepable fragment collecting surface is spaced beneath said conveyor members. A sweeper is provided for cleaning the collecting surface when the treatment heads are retracted.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 1980Date of Patent: December 29, 1981Assignee: BFG GlassgroupInventors: Robert Toussaint, Jean Henry

Patent number: 4035576Abstract: An electrical circuit panel having provisions for mitigating joint failure of soldered connections thereof. An electrical conductor is formed by an electrically conductive coating(s) on a support. The conductor has a discontinuity formed therein which exposes a portion of the support or an underlying second conductor that is non-solderable. An electrically conductive bridge plate is soldered into electrically conductive engagement with the conductor at two distinct spaced positions along the plate, the two positions being located on opposite sides of the discontinuity. The bridge plate may be arched between the two positions if desired, and the panel as a whole may comprise an electrical resistance heating panel.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 1975Date of Patent: July 12, 1977Assignee: Splintex BelgeInventor: Jean Henry
