Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20090259253APPARATUS FOR STRETCHING THE VERTEBRAL COLUMN OF A PERSON - An apparatus for stretching the vertebral column of a person, comprising a table equipped with a traction system having fixing means for connecting a cable to the person's feet, and traction means acting on the cable to effect traction on the legs in order to stretch the legs and the column, and oscillating means that act on the cable so as to obtain movements of lateral oscillation of both legs, the traction means and the oscillating means adapted to be controlled by a control unit in order to combine movements of lateral oscillation and movements of traction. The apparatus can be used to effect movements of lateral oscillation in order to achieve muscle relaxation in the region of the pelvis and the lumbar region, and thereby make the subsequent stretching of the lower back region more effective.10-15-2009

20100323390Method for the Identification of a Metabolic Pathway Family by Means of Positive Selection - The invention relates to the direct selection of metabolic pathways having a determined function in the transformation of a substrate {Ai} into a target product {B}, which is of interest in the industrial, pharmaceutical or agri-food sectors. More specifically, the invention relates to the detection, within metagenomic libraries, of novel biosynthesis pathways involved in a biochemical reaction having a known product {B}. The selection and characterisation of said novel metabolic pathways enables {B} to be produced enzymatically. The invention provides an alternative to the chemical synthesis of the molecule in question {B}. Moreover, and above all, the invention can be used specifically to target and exploit the only metabolic pathways enabling the transformation of {Ai} into {B}, while eliminating the associated metabolic pathways that can catabolise the target product {B}.12-23-2010

20100168690NASAL APPLICATOR FOR A NASAL FLUID ASPIRATION DEVICE AND NASAL FLUID ASPIRATION DEVICE INCLUDING SAID NASAL APPLICATOR - The invention relates to a nasal applicator (07-01-2010
20100235992MEDICAL MATTRESS AND MATTRESS COVER - A mattress system includes a core mattress and a mattress cover. The core is made from a resilient material with a top surface that may be inclined with respect to the bottom surface. The removable mattress sheet covers the core and includes a breathable material that forms a hammock over a depression in the top surface. The subject rests at least partially on the hammock. One or more sidewalls of the mattress depression may have one or more openings to facilitate air circulation within the depression. The external ends of the openings may connect to an air or aerosol source to inject air or aerosols into the depression cavity. The core may be coated with a fire retardant, impermeable water-proofing or gas impermeable layer. A ventilator may be adapted within the mattress.09-23-2010

20080208112Nasal Secretion Aspiration Device - The invention relates to a nasal secretion aspiration device. The inventive device consists of: a hollow body (08-28-2008
20090241264SIDS-preventative mattress - An infant mattress includes a core and a cover. The core is made from a resilient material and has a top surface and a bottom surface. The top surface is inclined with respect to the bottom surface and includes a depression. The cover covers the core and includes a mesh-like material that forms an inclined hammock over the depression. The head and torso of an infant are placed on the hammock. One or more sidewalls of the depression may have one or more openings to facilitate air circulation within the depression cavity. The external ends of the openings may connect to an air or aerosol source to inject air or aerosols into the depression cavity. The core may be coated with an impermeable water-proofing layer.10-01-2009

20120126997Crash warning system for motor vehicles - A system adapted to provide a warning to a motorist that a nearby vehicle has been in an accident. Embodiments include a crash detector operable to detect a crash of a vehicle, a transmitter to transmit a warning signal (typically, radio frequency) from the crashed vehicle, a receiver to receive a transmitted crash warning signal, and a display to warn the operator of an approaching vehicle of the crash. Some embodiments incorporate feedback from a vehicle's air-bag deployment circuitry to provide a trigger effective to broadcast the crash warning signal. Desirably, the operator of an approaching vehicle is provided with at least one, if not both, of a visual and an audible warning signal. Certain embodiments provide such audible and/or visual warning to approaching vehicles via the transmitted warning signal and a display and/or speaker carried in the approaching vehicle. Sometimes, audible and visual warnings may be transmitted directly from the crashed vehicle.05-24-2012
