Record 7 2003-10-09

English

Subject field(s)
  • Orbital Stations
  • Research Experiments in Space
CONT

The "International Microgravity Plasma Facility"(IMPF) introduces a new modular concept for experimenting in space. It is a laboratory, designed for the International Space Station, to investigate "complex plasmas"-in regard to the fundamental physics and the application potential. A "complex plasma"(or dusty plasma) is a "normal" electron-ion plasma with an additional charged component of small micron-sized particles.

OBS

international microgravity plasma facility; IMPF: term and abbreviation officially approved by the International Space Station official approval Group (ISSOAG).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Stations orbitales
  • Travaux de recherche dans l'espace
CONT

Record 8 2000-11-30

English

Subject field(s)
  • Field Engineering (Military)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

The ribbon bridge is a floating, modular asset with an integral superstructure and floating supports. Individual bays are joined to form rafts or bridges in support of river crossing operations. Ribbon bridges and rafts provide the maneuver commander with a reliable and responsive means to cross wet gap obstacles from the march... The ribbon bridge system consists of three major components : Bridge transporters, interior bays, Ramp bays. Although BEBs are not a component of the ribbon bridge system, boats are required for the propulsion of ribbon rafts, as well as for the assembly and anchorage of ribbon rafts and bridges.

Record 10 1997-08-20

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prostheses
CONT

This modular device system may contain a number of alternate tibial plate/stem, femoral head/stem and patellar device designs in various sizes, with appropriate wedges as required for individual patients manufactured from a single material.

CONT

Stems and Wedges :-modular metal wedges have more stability than bone graft or cement;-stem transfers up to 30% of force from bone subtending component to a point more proximal in the femur or more distal in the tibia.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Prothèses
CONT

En cas de perte de substance osseuse importante on ne peut pas toujours faire une résection à la limite de l'éculement osseux et il faudra alors combler l'espace entre l'os et la prothèse par des greffons osseux, du ciment ou des cales métalliques.

CONT

Efficace par la modularité des cales tibiales, des cales fémorales et des tiges de différentes longueurs. [Relevé sur une page publicitaire parue dans la Revue de chirurgie orthopédique et réparatrice de l'appareil moteur]

English

Subject field(s)
  • Prostheses
CONT

Configuration 2 is an application to register a Class III device which is a modular component of a hip system. The component is a femoral stem with an HA coating.

CONT
