A modular wireless repeater typically deployed with a roof-mounted tower-signal antenna and a base unit with a base unit antenna located within the building, to which the tower-signal antenna and the base unit are connected by the user or a satellite TV installer using a 75Ω coaxial cable. The system allows a customer to purchase a unit for all wireless service providers in a given frequency band, such as Cellular, PCS, GSM900, or DCS, etc., and then add on modules for additional types of service that the customer may desire in the future. The system also detects and prevents low-level oscillations. The wireless repeater also performs intelligent power control allowing it to function properly with near and far base unit antennas as well as near and far mobile stations.

An optical connector includes a connector body that has a first optical fiber housed in advance in a ferrule so as to project from a back end of the ferrule opposite to the connecting end surface and an anchoring fixture that anchors a second optical fiber that is to be optically connected to the first optical fiber, and by pressing the anchoring fixture into the connector body while the second optical fiber is anchored in this anchoring fixture, the anchoring fixture and the connector body are connected to optically connect the first optical fiber and the second optical fiber, and the connecting portion that connects the anchoring fixture and the connector body form a movable connecting portion that is adapted to vary the direction of the anchoring fixture with respect to the connector body.

Tissue engineering is a growing field where new materials are being developed for implantation into the body. One important area involves bone graft materials to replace areas of bone lost to trauma or disease. Traditionally, graft material may be harvested from the bone of the individual receiving the graft material. However, this requires an additional surgery and additional recovery. Bone also may be taken from others, or even cadavers, but this introduces biocompatibility problems as well as the risk of disease transfer. Ideally, a biocompatible material is sought that will act as a filler with appropriate mechanical strength, encourage bone healing, and degrade to allow new bone ingrowth without the risk of disease transfer. The present invention is a new composite bone graft material made from biocompatible poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and nano-sized hydroxyapatite particles exposed on its surface using a gas foaming particle leaching (GF / PL) method. A further embodiment of this invention involves coating this PLGA / hydroxyapatite biomaterial with an adherent, fast, uniform coating of a mineral such as apatite. The PLGA polymer portion of the composite provides sufficient mechanical strength to replace bone and is degradable over time to allow new bone tissue ingrowth. The incorporated hydroxyapatite particles increase the composite material's osteogenic properties by providing sites for tissue attachment and propagation. Finally, a uniform coating of mineral apatite on the surface of this novel biomaterial composite further enhances its osteogenic qualities.

The invention relates to a measuring device which determines the filling level by means of high-frequency measuring signals which are guided along a waveguide. The invention is based on the object of optimizing the waveguide. According to a preferred embodiment of the apparatus according to the invention, the waveguide is a wire cable which comprises a plurality of individual wires of a predetermined diameter which are twisted together.

The present invention involves tissue engineering constructs made from a new composite bone graft material made from biocompatible poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) and bioceramic particles exposed on its surface using a gas foaming particle leaching (GF / PL) method and infused with collagen. Methods and apparatus for of forming scaffolds are also disclosed.

A memory module of the unbuffered type with ECC function is employed. Configuration of an internal C / A bus is set to a single T-branch topology. An output impedance of a chipset is maintained substantially constant. A capacitor for cutting high-frequency components of a C / A signal is added on a C / A bus.

Desirably, at least one of the semiconductor materials A and B has a sufficiently large band gap that the passive waveguide structure blocks current under a voltage bias of 15 V.

Combustion engine (10) comprising a stator (11) provided with a compartment (16), inside which a rotor (20) is mounted rotatable, which comprises two parts (22, 23) each comprising a peripheral surface (47) and articulated one with respect to the other and both mounted rotatable, around the same axis of rotation (21) substantially coaxial with the compartment (16). The combustion engine (10) comprises kinematisms (60) to coordinate cyclically the rotations of the two parts (22, 23) around the axis of rotation (21), so that each of the parts (22, 23) accelerates or decelerates synchronously with respect to the other, while still both rotating in the same direction and at the same average angular velocity. Each part (22, 23) comprises a first radial arm (22a, 23a, 22b, 23b) provided with a first lateral surface (45) orthogonal to the plane of rotation, to cooperate cyclically with a corresponding second lateral surface (46), also substantially orthogonal to the plane of rotation, a second adjacent radial arm (22a, 23a, 22b, 23b) to define a combustion chamber (31, 32, 33, 34). The first lateral surface (45) comprises a bevel (36, 37, 38, 39) oriented in the direction of the rotation, to define, with the second lateral surface (46) of the adjacent radial arm (22a, 23a, 22b, 23b), a combustion pre-chamber (40, 41, 42, 43) continuous with the combustion chamber (31, 32, 33, 34).
