Patent EP-1379431-A1 (EP)
Inventor: DEJOUX ANDRE
IPC: E02B15/04

Abstract: The invention relates to a system for the mass recovery of petroleum products which is installed on a boat (1) that is specially designed to approach the oil slick to be recovered at 20 knots, said slick having been enclosed by a containment barrier comprising a skirt that prevents the petroleum from escaping underneath.  The recovery system comprises a static ramp (10, 11) that extends into the sea to a sufficient depth in order to take account of very strong swells, the upper end (12) of said ramp being solidly connected to a dynamic decantation tank (2, 3) which is closed on top by means of a wall (4, 5).  The boat loads the petroleum and water by means of the ramp (10, 11) into the tank thereof (2, 3) serving as a static water/petroleum separator, in which the oil slick (13), which has a lower density than water (14), floats on the water, thickening on top of the surface (15).  The upper level (16) of the slick is always maintained below that (17) of the level of the sea by means of a centrifugal pump assembly (18) having an adequate capacity.  Said pump assembly expels the water (14) into the sea so that petroleum and water can continue to be loaded.  When the lower level of the slick (13) falls below the transfer pumps (19), benefiting from the gravitational pressure of the slick, said transfer pumps start up and push the slick, via a separation wall (6, 7), into a storage tank (8) for decanted oil, while the boat advances into the slick at a maximum speed of approximately six knots.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of performing online switching of software from executing a first version of operating software to executing a second version of operating software in a communication system (100). The system (100) incorporates connection gateways (130, 200) controllable using the software for routing and processing communication traffic flowing between subscribers connected to the system (100) in response to subscriber demand. The method includes the steps of: providing the system (100) with its gateways executing the first version of the software; receiving the second version of software at the gateways; receiving an instruction at the gateways to perform an online switch of software; storing persistent data describing at least routing connections established through the gateways; transferring control of the gateways from the first version of software to Mini Media Handler (MMH) software executing in the gateways and operable to maintain established routing connections through the gateways; executing the second version of software concurrently with the MMH software to enabling the second version to recover the persistent data and configure itself in response thereto; and passing control of the gateways from the MMH software to the second version of software. The invention provides the advantage that the gateways can be switched from executing the first version of software to executing the second version of software without causing an interruption of communication traffic conveyed through the gateways.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un palier à pivot, pour une suspension à bras longitudinal d'un véhicule par exemple, comportant un logement (4), une douille élastique (3), de préférence comprimée et fixée dans le logement, et un manchon axial rigide (2) dans la douille. Ce palier à pivot contient des vides (9) formés dans la douille et se trouvant au-dessus et au-dessous du manchon lorsque le palier à pivot est monté en position d'utilisation, ainsi que des éléments de raidissage (17) dans la douille qui s'étendent entre les vides (9), des côtés opposés du manchon. Quand le palier à pivot est en position d'utilisation dans la suspension à bras longitudinal d'un véhicule, les vides augmentent la flexibilité de la douille sous une charge généralement verticale exercée sur le palier à pivot et les éléments de raidissage accroissent la raideur de la douille dans des directions généralement horizontales de manière à améliorer la dynamique du véhicule et à réduire la vibration. Les éléments de raidissage (17) sont, de préférence, en forme d'assiette ou de feuille, ils sont liés à la douille et ils s'étendent en arc autour du manchon. Les vides (9), qui peuvent s'étendre partiellement à travers l'épaisseur axiale de la douille à partir des côtés opposés de la douille, s'étendent généralement en arc autour du manchon (2) et ont des extrémités opposées circonférentielles élargies (13). Ces extrémités (13) s'étendent de manière circonférentielle au-delà des parties diamétralement opposées de la circonférence extérieure du manchon et sont rentrées en dedans vers le manchon. Les tranches (18) des éléments de raidissage peuvent s'étendre dans les extrémités opposées (13) des vides.

Abstract: A sealing ring (1) for sealing an annular gap between an inner tube (3) and an outer tube (4), which is axially slidable onto the inner tube, is adapted to be located in a circumferential groove (7) in the inner tube (3), prior to the outer tube (4) being slid on. The sealing ring (1) has a first sealing portion (8), which is adapted to abut against the bottom of the groove (7), a second sealing portion (10), which is adapted to abut against the outer tube (4), and two lateral sealing portions (13, 14), which are adapted to abut against either side wall of the groove (7). The lateral sealing portions (13, 14) consist of projecting, elastically flexible tongues, which extend obliquely axially-radially outward from the first sealing portion (8) on both sides of the second sealing portion (10). The axial distance between the free ends of the two tongues is larger than the width of the groove (7). The tongues are adapted to engage the side walls of the groove (7) adjacent to the mouth of the groove. A circumferential recess (17, 18) is formed between the second sealing portion (10) and each lateral sealing portion (13, 14) to allow the second sealing portion (10) and each lateral sealing portion (13, 14) to be moved towards each other in case of deformation of the sealing ring (1).

Abstract: The specification describes a front loader for fitting onto a supporting vehicle, with a
quick-change frame for interchangeable tools which is coupled to the free end region
and can be swivelled by tipping cylinders, at least one locking pin being mounted on
the frame, which pin can be moved at a given unlocking signal from a locked position
fixing the tool to the quick-change frame to an unlocked position releasing the tool,
by a hydraulic auxiliary force against the force of a resilient element. 
     In order to have a simpler, more favourably priced construction while retaining the
advantages of known front loaders, the locking pin (23) can be moved into the
unlocked position by an actuating mechanism which becomes active only in response
to the unlocking signal, and which responds to the increase in the distance between
the locking pin (23) and the front loader (2) which takes place when the tipping
cylinders (18) are drawn out.
