Abstract: A process for determining a patient's apnoea+hypopnoea index or statis dependent on this index, including supplying a data set relating to a patient having, or making it possible to determine, characteristic data of the patient's maxillofacial morphology. The determination of the characteristic data is dependent on the positioning of at least four homologous points (1100, 1110), on a 3D scan of the head (60) of the patient (6). The process includes introducing this set into a machine learning model, trained to predict the apnoea+hypopnoea index, or the status, for the data set, from a database of different patients including maxillofacial morphology data, associated with an apnoea+hypopnoea index, or a status dependent on an apnoea+hypopnoea index, such that the model predicts an apnoea+hypopnoea index or a status for the data set relating to the patient.

Abstract: The invention concerns a cable casing for the guidance of a wire (2), in particular a welding wire, that includes: a series of supports of a first type (101) for first guidance assemblies (111) for the wire, with each including roller devices (231), a series of supports of a second type (102) for second guidance assemblies (112) for the wire, with each including roller devices (232), and with the supports of the second guidance assemblies being positioned alternately with the supports of the first guidance assemblies, and, for each support of a type framed by supports upstream and downstream of another type, first articulation means (15) in at least one direction of articulation (A) between a support of one type with the upstream support of another type, and second articulation means, between the said support of one type with the downstream support of another type.
