Abstract: A medical device for assessing and/or rehabilitating a human joint of an extremity includes a joint brace comprising a first support for coupling to an upper part of the extremity, a second support for coupling to a lower part of the extremity, and a rotatable joint connecting the first and second supports, and a mechanical device coupled to the first and second supports, the mechanical device configured for moving one or more of the first and second supports so as to rotate about the joint. In another alternative the medical device can include sensors located for making angle measurements between the first and second supports and for recording movement data and a computing device for receiving and storing the angle measurements and the movement data and for transmitting said data via a radio transmitter.

Abstract: 1,3,4-Oxadiazole derivatives, are disclosed which correspond to the formula ##STR1## in which R represents the phenyl radical; a phenyl radical which is substituted by 1 to 5 identical or different substituents chosen from amongst halogen atoms, the nitro radical, the cyano radical, the hydroxy radical, alkyl radicals containing from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy radicals, the alkyl part of which contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkenyl radicals containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, alkenyloxy radicals containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, alkenyl radicals containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, alkynyloxy radicals alkynyl part of which contains from 2 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylsulphonyl radicals, the alkyl part of which contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, alkylthio radicals containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms dialkylamino radicals, of which each of the identical or different alkyl parts contains from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, the carbamoyloxy radical which is optionally substituted by 1 to 2 alkyl radicals containing from 1 t

Abstract: The invention pertains to certain oxadiazolinones of the formula: ##STR1## in which R represents an alkyl radical containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms and R.sub.1 represents an alkyl radical containing 2 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkoxy radical of which the alkyl part contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms, an alkylthio radical of which the alkyl part contains 1 to 4 carbon atoms, or trifluoromethyl, and to their preparation and the compositions in which they are present, which compounds and compositions have utility as nematocides, acaricides and insecticides.

Abstract: Oxadiazolinone derivatives of the formula: ##STR1## wherein R represents alkyl of 1 through 4 carbon atoms, R.sub.1 represents halogen, alkyl of 1 through 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 through 4 carbon atoms or alkylthio of 1 through 4 carbon atoms, and R.sub.2 represents hydrogen, halogen, alkyl of 1 through 4 carbon atoms, alkoxy of 1 through 4 carbon atoms or alkylthio of 1 through 4 carbon atoms, are useful as anthelmintics.

Abstract: Phenylhydrazone derivatives of the formula: ##SPC1##Wherein R represents alkyl containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, and two of the symbols R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 represent a halogen atom and the third represents a halogen atom or a nitro radical, are new compounds possessing insecticidal and acaricidal properties.
