Abstract: A vacuum furnace comprises a vessel having a door, a plurality of heating elements within the vessel, a vacuum system for evacuating an interior of the vessel, and a pivoting member for pivoting the vessel between a first position where the door when closed is facing substantially upward, and a second position where the door when closed is facing away from substantially upward. In a method of enabling heating a vacuum furnace, the vessel is able to pivot between two positions. In a method of operating a vacuum furnace, the vessel pivots between two positions.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method and a system for collecting medical data produced by medical devices (1) situated, for example, in intensive care units and for disseminating said information to the health professionals using computer equipment (5). The process and the system include the following software modules: (I) one service module (DS) (21), (II) a data storage module (DDS) (25), (III) control modules (DAC) (26) accessible from any point of said computer communications network and controlling the distribution of said data D, (IV) a device interface module (DDI) (23), configured as a function of the specifications of said transmitter devices (1), (V) a communications interface module (DCI) (22), (VI) a configuration interface module (DCP) (28), (VII) a data portal module (DDP).
