Abstract: The invention relates to a decorative part (1, 3, 5) including several stones (2) and a device (7, 7?, 47, 47?) for securing the stones (2) in relation to each other. According to the invention, the securing device (7, 7?, 47, 47?) includes a single electrodeposited base (9, 9?, 49, 49?) whose shape matches one part of the stones, thus allowing all the stones (2) to be attached in relation to each other without any stress, and the girdles (6) of the stones (2) are mounted edge-to-edge in relation to each other so that the single base is concealed. The invention also relates to the method for manufacturing a part (1, 3, 5) of this type.

Abstract: A sensor device for use in a medical fluid delivery system, or an infusion pump device, comprises a fluidic chamber with a deformable cover closing at least an area of the chamber and an optical detection system comprising at least one light emitter for emitting one or more incident light beams and a sensor unit for monitoring one or more reflected light beams is presented. In a pressurized state of the fluidic chamber, the deformable cover is deformed such that it forms an inflexion point area within the deformed cover. The one or more incident light beams emitted by the light emitter are directed on the cover such that the one or more incident light beams are reflected essentially in the inflexion point area.

Abstract: A method of decorating an element. This method includes the following steps: taking the element (1, 11, 21, 31), the element including anchoring for improving the securing of the decoration (5) to the element; making a mask (4) of the desired thickness of the decorations (5), and having at least one opening (4?); placing the at least one opening in the mask (4) against the place to be decorated so as to form at least one mould (4?, 6, 6?, 6?,100); filling the at least one mould with an at least partially amorphous material via hot forming; and removing the mask (4).

Abstract: To fabricate an external timepiece element in which there is inserted at least one decoration, the decoration is formed of anterior and posterior parts respectively intended to emerge from the external element and to serve as a mechanism of anchoring the decoration in the external element. A master mold is provided, the master mold including a hollow pattern cavity matching dimensions of the anterior part of the decoration. The decoration is placed in the pattern cavity. The master mold is filled by the galvanic deposition of a metal. The external element obtained is removed from the master mold.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of decorating an element. This method includes the following steps: a) taking the element (1, 11, 21, 31), said element including anchoring means (7) for improving the securing of the decoration (5) to said element; b) making a mask (4) of the desired thickness of the decorations (5), and having at least one opening (4?); c) placing said at least one opening in the mask (4) against the place to be decorated so as to form at least one mold (4?, 6, 6?, 6?, 100); d) filling said at least one mold with an at least partially amorphous material via hot forming; e) removing the mask (4).

Abstract: Method for securing a decoration (1) to an external timepiece element (2) coated with a galvanically deposited metallic layer (3). Instead of the decoration (1), a dummy part (5) is temporarily placed in the hole (4) pierced in the external element (2), and the galvanic deposition (3) is then carried out. After the deposition has been levelled, the dummy part (5) is removed and the decoration is placed in the hole (4).

Abstract: The present invention concerns a portable object (1). This portable object includes a case (2) to which a bracelet or strap (3) is fixed taking the form of two bracelet or strap strands. The portable object is characterized in that at least one of the bracelet or strap strands is moveably mounted to slide relative to the case so that the length of the bracelet or strap can be adjusted.
