Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The Heliosphere Intragastric Balloon System is a temporary non-surgical obesity treatment that induces short-term weight loss by partially filling the stomach to achieve satiety.... The deflated balloon is inserted into the stomach through the mouth using an endoscope. It is then filled with air to a final volume of 650 mL to 750 mL and released to float freely in the stomach. The balloon is used with a supervised calorie-restricted diet, and must be removed after six months. Another type of intragastric balloon is the BioEnterics Intragastric Balloon System[, ] a silicone balloon filled with saline. 6, record 1, English, - gastric%20balloon

Le ballon intra-gastrique Héliosphère est un traitement temporaire non chirurgical de l'obésité qui permet une perte de poids à court terme en occupant du volume dans l'estomac afin de provoquer la sensation de satiété. [...] Le ballon sans air est introduit dans l'œsophage jusqu'à l'estomac à l'aide d'un endoscope. Il est gonflé par la suite pour occuper un volume final de 650 ml à 750 ml et libéré pour flotter librement dans l'estomac. Le ballon est utilisé de pair avec un régime d'amaigrissement surveillé et doit être retiré dans un délai de six mois. Un autre type de ballon intra-gastrique est le ballon intra-gastrique BioEnterics[,] un ballon en silicone qui se remplit de sérum physiologique. 4, record 1, French, - ballon%20intragastrique

The Sun emits a steady flow of electrically-charged particles called the solar wind. As the solar wind expands supersonically into space, it creates a magnetized bubble around the Sun--the heliosphere. Eventually, the solar wind runs into the electrically-charged particles and magnetic field in the interstellar gas. The solar wind abruptly slows down from supersonic to subsonic speed, creating a termination shock. Before both spacecraft travel beyond the heliopause into interstellar space, they must pass through that shockwave. 2, record 6, English, - termination%20shock

Previous studies of the Sun have only been done in the Ecliptic, and are thus a small glimpse of the dynamic solar environment. Although it will get no closer to the Sun than it was the day it was launched, the Ulysses spacecraft will provide a unique opportunity to explore the Heliosphere in total. It carries a 55 kg(121 lbm) instrument payload to collect data on the solar magnetic field, solar radiation such as radio and plasma waves and X-rays, and the solar wind, as well as cosmic radiation and dust entering the solar system.

The energy eruptions in the solar atmosphere can lead to the acceleration of local gas particles to extremely high energies and their injection into the interplanetary space. These fast moving streams of particles are recorded by ERNE. At times, when there is no energetic particle production at the Sun, ERNE is observing the continuous flux of energetic particles from Milky Way(galactic cosmic rays), and from the boundary of the heliosphere accelerated by the termination shock(anomalous cosmic rays). 3, record 8, English, - energetic%20and%20relativistic%20nuclei%20and%20electron%20experiment
