Patent FR-2740418-A1 (FR)
Title: Point-to-point railway track communication, especially for staff safety
IPC: B61L23/06
Filed: 1995-10-30
Abstract: Before work begins, a train detector which may be mechanical, electronic, optical, is placed at each end (E,E';E1,E1') (allowing for traffic in either direction) of a warning zone, extending far beyond the work zone, on each track (F.F') passing through the latter. On detecting a train, a detector (1,3;1',3') interrupts the mechanical vibrations continuously transmitted through one rail by an associated transducer, different rails being used for each train direction. This causes a receiver (2,4;2',4') on the corresponding rail at the work point to initiate an alarm (A), and work is suspended. All equipment is battery-operated, as any break-down interrupts the signal the system is "fail-safe".

Title: Refrigerating garment employing solid carbon dioxide
IPC: A41D13/005
Filed: 1995-12-21
Abstract: The solid CO2 block (5) is placed in an airtight container (3) with removable lid (4). An intake pipe in the container base leads into a continuous tubular distribution system comprising several discrete external loops (t1,t2,..t5) incorporated in the garment (2) - e.g., a jacket worn by the user (1).  Internal tubular loops, passing horizontally along the container walls, around the block, are connected in-series, alternately, with successive external loops. The last of the latter ends in a relief valve (6), discharging to the atmosphere and adjustable by the wearer to control the cooling effect produced as the sublimating CO2 finds its way out through the tubing.
Patent FR-2743184-A1 (FR)
Inventor: BOUR DENIS
IPC: G21C17/06
Filed: 1995-12-29
Abstract: The device for testing the rods in a bundle insertable in the core of a nuclear reactor comprises a structure having means for slidingly guiding rods in m different orientations of the bundle, where m is a sub-multiple of the number n of rods in the bundle, and a measuring basket with n/m eddy current testing units (16) and n/m ultrasound scanners (18) situated on different guide tracks. Each ultrasound scanner (18) comprises a circular support surrounding a rod track and holding a ring of elementary transducers. The transducers are connected to a circuit for sequential excitation of the transducers in successive groups, which brings about the circumferential scanning of the tube and electronic focusing on the surface of the tube in movement on the track.

Title: Energy economiser in image transfer system
Inventor: COUDRAY PASCAL
IPC: B41J29/393
Filed: 1996-01-31
Abstract: The energy economiser systems causes the equipment to operate in two modes for image transfer. The first mode operates at nominal energy consumption. The second mode operates at a reduced energy consumption. The energy remaining (37) is compared (28) with a set level. When the energy remaining exceeds the set level the equipment operates at the nominal energy consumption, otherwise at reduced level. The energy demand is reduced by reducing the density of the dots printed on a page, or by reducing the number of colours. The path of the print head is adjusted to reduce the power consumption.
