Abstract: A motorized gastric ring or “AGM” including a motor acting on a diameter of the ring and actuated by induction toward an integrated receiving antenna from at least one outer transmitting antenna, wherein the ring includes at least one receiving antenna, the at least one antenna being disoriented relative to a plane extending through the gastric ring, and integrated electronics adapted to substantially optimally use energy received.

Abstract: The present solution relates to a system and method of an optical connector assembly for interconnecting two optical fibers. The optical connector assembly has a splice with a fiber conduit for holding bare ends of the two optical fibers together. Additionally, the optical connector has two corresponding ferrules. The two corresponding ferrules are for securing optical fibers and for aligning the bare end of an optical fiber into the splice without catching an edge. The method includes compressing along the longitudinal axis a first ferrule against the splice to force a guiding member of the first ferrule into a first aperture of the splice, thus opening a conduit of the splice at the first aperture. Once the optic fiber is inserted, the method includes releasing the compression along the longitudinal axis of the first ferrule against the splice to allow the splice to apply radial retention forces on fibers. A sheath to form a connector body of the optical connector assembly interconnects the ferrules.

Abstract: This machine comprises a thermally insulated enclosure, with which are associated a control unit, a temperature source, a device for making the temperature uniform, a specimen holder disposed inside the enclosure and measurement units, means being provided for mounting the various control or monitoring components fixed to the enclosure, whilst permitting the thermal expansions of the enclosure due to temperature differences.Application to the monitoring of components made of shape-memory alloys.

Abstract: A machine for the thermo-mechanical treatment of parts made of memory alloys contains: a thermally insulated chamber connected to a source of gaseous fluid and a support, capable of being introduced into a chamber, for carrying a plurality of crowns superimposed on one another. The parts made of memory alloy are placed between the crowns where the gaseous fluid passes through. Tension is applied to the crown in a controlled operating cycle.
