Merger Control in the European Community: The EC Regulation On the Control of Concentrations Between Undertakings and Implementing Guidelines

The European Community (EC) is currently adopting comprehensive new legislation within the framework of its internal market program, which is expected to transform the way business is conducted in the EC. By December 1992, the Community should be well on its way to becoming an integrated economy, with about 320 million consumers. Not surprisingly, the number of mergers and acquisitions in the EC across national boundaries is increasing in response to the prospects of a larger consumer base and greater market opportunities. The new EC Regulation On the Control of Concentrations Between Undertakings is one element of the EC\u27s ambitious program. It represents the European Community\u27s first attempt to establish a trans-national systematic merger control system and is intended to become the cornerstone of the EC\u27s competition policy

Developpement d'une methode de reconstruction 3D du tronc d'un scoliotique par imagerie stereoscopique

Le but du travail présenté dans ce papier est d'apporter une aide à l'orthésiste durant les phases de conception et de fabrication des corsets de scoliose, et de permettre à l'équipe médicale d'avoir un meilleur suivi de l'évolution de la scoliose. La méthode repose sur 3 phases : acquisition dès données relatives au tronc du patient par une méthode stéréoscopique, reconstruction 3D et corrections, et fabrication avec une machine à commande numérique. De plus la méthode stéréoscopique peu coûteuse permet de mieux suivre l'évolution de la scoliose par des prises de données régulières
