Abstract: “CONSTRUCTIVE DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN PHYSIOTHERAPY ELECTROMECHANICAL APPARATUS OF LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE FOR UPPER LIMBS,” more precisely it is electromechanical device (1) of the type used in the treatment of lymphedema or other similar diseases; the said apparatus (1) provides associated mechanisms, with the electromechanical module (M1) formed by a printed circuit board (PCI) and idealized for actuating the mechanical module (M2), which in turn imposes movement to a rod (B), which is connected to the support platform (PL) of the upper member; the said platform (PL) promotes angular and repetitive motion of the upper limb; the said electromechanical mechanism (M1) and mechanism (M2) to be packed in compact fairing (2) of rectangular prism shape and configured by a receptacle (2A) of low height (x), width (y) and length (z) in which flat bottom (2a1) is installed the printed circuit board (PCI), which is connected to a digital control panel (3) controller of all the functions of the apparatus (1), wherein the

Abstract: “CONSTRUCTIVE DISPOSITION INTRODUCED IN PHYSIOTHERAPY ELECTROMECHANICAL APPARATUS OF LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE FOR LOWER LIMBS,” more precisely it is electromechanical device (1) of the type for treatment of lymphedema for lower limbs through the lymphatic drainage; the said apparatus (1) comprises compact fairing (CR) of rectangular prism shape and configured by a receptacle (2) of little height (x), width (y) and length (z) in whose central portion is stored electromechanical module (M1), which is actuated by button (3) provided for one of the side walls (2a) of the receptacle (2), as well as the electromechanical module (M1) is accompanied by a digital panel (4) of all the functions of the apparatus (1), wherein the said panel (4) is also arranged in the same side wall (2a); the said receptacle (2) provides the top wall (2d) cutout (2b1) for centralized installation of the mechanical module (M2) and, consequently, the platform (PL) by setting a space area (AE) wide and centered for the installation of the mechani

Abstract: A pre-fermented symbiotic matrix based on a cereal suspension (e.g., oat) containing encapsulated probiotics and prebiotics is pre-fermented with encapsulated probiotics and free and/or encapsulated prebiotics.

Abstract: The present invention is about a pre-fermented symbiotic matrix based on a cereal suspension, preferably oat, containing encapsulated probiotics and prebiotics, the manufacturing process and the corresponding utilization. The present invention's object is the development of a cereal symbiotic matrix, preferably from oat, pre-fermented with encapsulated probiotics and free and/or encapsulated prebiotics, with the aim of complementing the actual functional food market and solving problems inherent to the reduced shelf-life period of such foods due to loss of probiotic viability to values below the minimum limits needed in order to promote biological activity. Furthermore, the present invention's object is to improve the fermentative process conditions at different levels, namely fermentation time reduction in order to reduce energy consumption during the process and the risk of contamination reduction as well as promote long term microbial stability maintenance.

Abstract: Water-based contact adhesives comprising:(1) a carboxylated polychloroprene latex which provides elastomeric properties;(2) a carboxylated poly(vinyl acetate-ethylene) aqueous emulsion which provides toughness to the adhesive;(3) a tackifier resin dispersion;(4) an organic or water soluble crosslinking agent for the carboxyl functionality of the polychloroprene and poly(vinyl acetate-ethylene); and(5) optionally an adhesion promoter.
