GES [gastric electrical stimulation] uses an electrical device called a gastric pacemaker to provide mild electrical stimulation to the lower abdominal nerves. Utilizing minimally-invasive surgical techniques, the gastric pacemaker is placed subcutaneously in the abdomen. It is intended to induce early satiety through electrical stimulation of the gastric wall. 2, record 1, English, - implantable%20gastric%20stimulator

The jacket and swivel tethering system facilitates animal movement, yet permits sampling or protection of instrumentation and equipment. It allows much greater movement and permits simultaneous fluid sampling, drug infusion, and electronic measuring and monitoring. The tethered animal can be maintained comfortably and humanely for months, while fully instrumented. The light weight and flexibility of the tether, combined with the low friction of the swivel, inhibits very little of the animal's normal cage activity. 1, record 4, English, - jacket%20and%20swivel%20tethering%20system

Un équipement appelé «jaquette et système d’attache pivotant »est un exemple de système d’immobilisation moins restrictif qui facilite les mouvements des animaux, mais permet néanmoins le prélèvement d’échantillons et la protection des instruments ou de l'équipement. Ce système facilite des mouvements plus élaborés et permet d’exécuter simultanément des prélèvements de liquides, d’administration de drogues, des mesures et des contrôles électroniques. L'animal qu'on a attaché peut vivre confortablement et d’une façon humanitaire pendant des mois tout en étant branché à plusieurs instruments. Étant donné le faible poids et la flexibilité de l'attache, combinés à une légère friction du pivot, l'animal peut vaquer à ses activités normales dans sa cage. 1, record 4, French, - jaquette%20et%20syst%C3%A8me%20d%27attache%20pivotant

A casing is a fabric "tunnel" made to enclose elastic or a drawstring. When the elastic or drawstring is drawn in, the effect is similar to that of a conventional waistline joining or waistband, but far easier to construct. Waistline casings are practical because they can be adjusted easily to changes in waist measurement - merely tighten or loosen the drawstring or elastic. Replacement of drawstring or elastic is equally simple. 1, record 6, English, - waistline%20casing

La coulisse est un rempli ou tunnel qu'on pratique sur un vêtement pour y enfiler un élastique ou une attache. Quand on tire l'élastique ou l'attache, l'effet obtenu est le même qu'avec l'assemblage classique ou la bande de ceinture; la technique de construction est cependant beaucoup plus facile. Les coulisses à la taille sont pratiques, car elles s’adaptent aux changements de poids-on n’ a qu'à serrer ou à desserrer l'élastique ou l'attache. Il est également facile de les remplacer. 1, record 6, French, - taille%20couliss%C3%A9e
