Abstract: A tire comprises a working reinforcement (16) comprising at least one working layer and a hoop reinforcement (17) arranged radially outside the working reinforcement (16). The tire (10) comprises an electrically conductive element (80) arranged so as to ensure electrical conductivity between a mounting support for the tire (10) and the crown (12) by means of the conductive element (80), the crown (12) being arranged so as to ensure electrical conductivity from the electrically conductive element (80) to the tread surface (13) radially through or by means of the hoop reinforcement (17) and by means of the tread (20). At least one so-called interposed portion (801) of the electrically conductive element (80) is arranged radially between the working layer (18) and the hoop reinforcement (17).

Abstract: An electric pulse applicator for the treatment of biological tissue applies an electric field to the cells of biological tissue to modify the properties of their membranes. The electric pulse applicator includes electrodes and a pulse generator. The electrodes comprise at least three needles which are introduced into the tissue to be treated and which define a treatment volume. The needles are formed into pairs and a selector switch directs successive pulses produced by the pulse generator to each different pair of needles.
