Abstract: La présente invention concerne un procédé de fabrication d'un bouchon inviolable prenant par crochetage en J sur un récipient. Ce bouchon comporte une base, une paroi latérale prenant vers le bas (14), et une bague d'inviolabilité (32). Cette bague d'inviolabilité (32), reliée par une structure de rupture à la paroi latérale (14), comporte une pluralité d'éléments de retenue (40) et une pluralité correspondante d'éléments réticulaires souples (44). L'élément de retenue (38) est d'abord moulé dans une première position dans laquelle il vient sensiblement s'aligner en dessous de la bande principale (36) de la bague d'inviolabilité (32). Cette position de moulage présente des avantages intéressants pour la fabrication. A la pose du bouchon sur le récipient (12), subissant une compression périphérique, l'élément de retenue (38) se plie vers l'intérieur dans sa course vers une deuxième position en prise par laquelle il se recourbe vers l'intérieur et vers le haut pour prendre sur le récipient. La compression sensiblement périphérique de l'élément de retenue (38) est rendue possible par la présence d'éléments réticulaires souples (44). Les orifices de ventilation (52) présentent le double avantage, d'une part de favoriser une bonne aptitude au moulage du bouchon, et d'autre part de permettre à l'ensemble du récipient complet, bouchon monté, de passer au lavage après emballage pour éliminer toute trace de matière alimentaire pouvant subsister extérieurement après le remplissage.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un système et un procédé de détermination des besoins en matériel de communication dans un réseau et de placement des noeuds dans diverses phases d'activité lorsque les conditions le permettent. Ces système et procédé font appel à un algorithme pour détecter les changements de niveau d'activité des noeuds et modifier les opérations, notamment les transmissions de mise à jour et les choix d'acheminement, sur la base des changements détectés. Plus particulièrement, l'algorithme détermine le niveau d'activité dans un noeud à chaque intervalle de mise à jour des acheminements, sur la base de facteurs tels que le nombre des nouvelles destinations que le noeud peut atteindre, le nombre de modifications d'acheminement que le noeud peut appliquer, le nombre d'acheminements depuis le noeud dont les longueurs ont subi des changements, ainsi que le nombre de destinations que le noeud ne pleut plus atteindre. Le noeud peut augmenter ou baisser le débit d'échange selon lequel il achemine les informations avec les noeuds voisins, sur la base de l'augmentation ou de la baisse de son niveau d'activité.

Title: Hydro dyne generator
Inventor: PITCHER LLEWELYN
IPC: F03G7/00
Filed: 2004-11-23
Abstract: The embodiment of this invention relates to the inserting of a continuous chain of floats into the base of a column of water without employing the use of actuated valves or any other moving device or the loss of any significant amount of water. These floats ascending the water column impart their accumulated buoyant force to a wheel at the base of the column.A sprocketed wheel mounted above the column redirects the floats downwardly outside the water column to be picked up by,the bottom wheel which once again reinserts them into the water column.The rotational force of the wheel can be utilized for the preferred purpose of powering an electrical generator.The methodology and principles employed are uniquely original,and provide a clean,efficient and reliable method of producing electrical energy.

Title: Improved system for hot pressing cellulosic and lignocellulosic mats
Inventor: DENG XIXIAN
IPC: B27N3/08
Filed: 2005-02-07
Abstract: A system for pressing lignocellulosic and/or cellulosic materials to produce composite products such as medium density fiberboard subjects a mat of material to alternating or vibratory forces applied to a face surface of the mat. The frequency of the alternating forces may be between 0.2 Hz and 2Hz. This vibratory pressing action causes heat to be transferred more quickly to the core of the mat from the surface, and reduces the pressing time required for thermosetting resins within the mat to cure. The system comprises a press for accepting the mat; a sensor for sensing a parameter indicative of heat in the core of the mat; and a control system for controlling the application of vibratory and non-vibratory forces to the mat.
