Les implants du tronc cérébral permettent de transformer les signaux analogiques enregistrés par un microphone en signaux électriques pour stimuler directement le noyau cochléaire. L’implant du tronc cérébral a bénéficié des technologies développées pour l’implant cochléaire, la stimulation se faisant dans ce cas sur le noyau cochléaire, et non sur les cellules ciliées.  2, record 1, French, - implant%20du%20tronc%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral

A compact, high-resolution and energy-dispersive x-ray detector.  3, record 2, English, - silicon%20drift%20detector

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

Silicon Drift Detectors(SDD) are essentially 450 μm-thick discs of high-resistivity silicon which is fully depleted by applying a negative bias voltage to both sides of the disc. On one side of the planar structure the bias is graduated across the device by means of a series of "drift rings" such that a strong transverse electric field component is developed within the structure. This is used to direct electrons produced as a result of x-ray interactions towards a small charge collecting anode. On the opposite side of the device(x-ray entrance side) there is a uniform shallow implanted junction contact to allow good low energy x-ray sensitivity and minimum charge loss.  2, record 2, English, - silicon%20drift%20detector

Sphincter urinaire artificiel. En cas de lésion sévère du sphincter, le soutien de l'urètre ne peut suffire à assurer une bonne continence et il faut donc mettre en place un sphincter artificiel. La partie active du sphincter est une manchette qui entoure l'urètre, et qui est dégonflée manuellement pour uriner. La manchette se referme automatiquement en une ou deux minutes. Le sphincter est entièrement implanté sous la peau et il est invisible.  1, record 4, French, - sphincter%20urinaire%20artificiel

Implanted devices such as an AICD(automatic implanted cardiac defibrillator, an implanted device that senses ventricular tachycardia and administers a shock) may be useful for helping to control chronic ventricular tachycardia. Often this must be used in conjunction with suppressive, anti-arrhythmic agents to prevent repeated firing of the AICD.  2, record 6, English, - implanted%20device
