  • Publication number: 20060200248
    Abstract: This prosthesis for the glenoid cavity of the scapula comprises a seat, intended to be fixed to the glenoid cavity of the patient to be treated by means of anchoring screws, said seat comprising a plate able to receive a male insert, and said seat being able to receive a female insert, said inserts being intended to cooperate with the humeral head of the shoulder joint in question or with a humeral implant fitted in the area of said joint. The outer face of the peripheral rim, with which the seat is provided, is configured as a truncated morse cone able to cooperate with a male insert provided with a bearing surface of complementary shape. The plate of the seat is provided with means intended to cooperate with a female insert in order to ensure that the latter is fixed by clipping into it.

  • Publication number: 20030156568
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of selecting multimedia data coding formats in a communications system having at least two terminals suitable for exchanging multimedia data. Each terminal has a set of coding formats listing the formats which it is capable of processing in reception and formats which it is capable of applying to multimedia data in transmission. Prior to any exchange of data between two terminals, each terminal sends its set of coding formats to the other terminal via a server. According to the invention, the server is connected to code format conversion means and, where necessary, it enlarges each set of coding formats received from a terminal as a function of the conversion means available to it, prior to forwarding the possibly enlarged set to the other terminal. In this way, the coding and decoding abilities of terminals in the system are enriched virtually, thereby reducing the number of calls that fail.
