Abstract: A traction system for a vehicle has a support frame that defines a circular track belt support that is revolvable about an axis at its center, a flexible track belt; and a track belt stretching assembly comprising one or more track belt stretching rollers. The system has one traction configuration in which the flexible traction belt is held on said support track forming a substantially circular, wheel-like traction surface, and can change to a stretching state in which said rollers engage said belt and stretch it from its state in said one traction configuration to a stretched state to define one or more other traction configurations of the system.

Abstract: Selon cette invention, une rainure précise en forme de V est formée sur les surfaces principales d'un substrat plat supérieur et d'un substrat plat inférieur de sorte qu'une fibre optique fasse saillie. La fibre optique est montée sur l'un des substrats plats, et un filtre (2) à film multicouches est inséré dans une rainure (1) d'insertion de filtre formée à travers la rainure précise en forme de V dans la surface principale de l'autre substrat plat. Ce filtre à film multicouches est intercalé pour être fixé par les deux substrats plats à l'aide de la fibre optique en saillie et de l'autre rainure précise en forme de V servant de glissières. Dans ce module de filtre optique ainsi obtenu, le nombre d'étapes pour l'ajustement de l'axe optique entre les fibres optiques d'entrée et de sortie est réduit, et la position du filtre optique à insérer est peu modifiée.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for multiplexing several optical paths with parallel beams by using a periscope or a bar with parallel rotational surfaces (French patent No. 2739192). The invention is characterized by the use and proper arrangement of fixed catoptric or catadioptric systems so that they cover each an elementary field. The optical multiplexing of the different optical paths in accordance with the present invention enables to cover a large angular field, besides the elementary fields. The invention provides the advantage of being capable of covering a large angular field with good resolution at high speeds (some 10 Hertz) by using a single array of sensors. Additionally, said method enables to design sectorial and panoramic optronic surveillance systems with no apparent motion, thereby providing the additional benefit of discretion and stealth when it is used in the context of a military operation.

Abstract: A repellent laser beam device for preventing pests, such as birds, from feeding on fruits in a field. The device is mounted on a tripod and housed in a weather-protected box. It is mounted so as to be adjustable in height and angle. A control unit causes a laser beam to sweep a field in vertical and horizontal patterns, frightening birds and other pests away. The laser beam is of a wavelength seen by birds or other animals and merely frightens them away rather than blinding them. The patterns and speed of the scanning device are variable. The device is powered by a rechargeable battery and includes a solar panel system for recharging the batteries. The system is operable by photocell controlled switches, eliminating the need for human, manual on-off switching.

Abstract: To address the need for an apparatus and method for handoff from a cellular wireless network to a non-cellular wireless network (WLAN, e.g.), the present application describes an access gateway ( 214 ) and a dual mode mobile station ( 201 ) that enable such handoffs. Dual mode MSs can determine when a handoff to a non-cellular network is preferred and request a handin ( 302 ) from the non-cellular network. The access gateway provides information to the MS ( 304 ) so that it can initiate a handoff through the serving cellular network. Triggering handoffs in this manner, allows cellular networks to handle handoffs to non-cellular networks in much the same way they handle inter-MSC handoffs today, i.e., source initiated.
