Abstract: A device for applying a filamentous implant by means of a pressure-generating and fluid-containing unit which is connected to a housing containing the thread to be implanted. The housing opens out into a channel used for delivering the thread externally. The pressure generation unit generates a static pressure on a fluid contained inside the device, said fluid pushing the thread to be implanted through the distal narrowed tip of the channel, towards the exterior or into a tissue or a body cavity. The fluid remains inside the device in the course of this process. The distal end of the device can be plugged in order to prevent the fluid from exiting after application of the implant. The application can be stopped once an adequate quantity of the implant material has been implanted by severing the thread in the vicinity of the distal end of the channel or at the proximal end.

Abstract: A terminal and system for the automatic computerized unloading of containerized cargo from container ships to trucks, railroad cars, other ships and storage. The terminal system is equipped to store or transfer unloaded cargo automatically by using independent container transfer vehicles. The cargo ships are moored between quays of a terminal building constructed in or adjacent to a waterway. Independent container transfer vehicles on an overhead transverse beam system lift a container up and away from a ship transfer to the elevated ground rail system without changing orientation, and then shuttle on elevated ground conveyance rails to other areas of the terminal to distribute the container to the pertinent transportation system (railcar, truck, another ship, or storage). Containers can also be unloaded from trucks and railroad cars and transported to a berthed ship utilizing the same transportation system. Remotely controlled docking modules may be used to guide an incoming ship into the quay and to assist in engaging the ship's hull onto a bow mooring assembly. Side fenders positioned in the quay moor the ship and maintain its position within the dock during cargo transfers. A rapid fueling system refuels the ships. The terminal can be located on land or offshore in any navigable waterway with either an access tunnel or a causeway for truck and rail access from land.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé qui permet de laquer par poudrage un substrat (5), notamment un substrat sensible à la température tel que bois, matériau en fibres de bois, plastique, caoutchouc, tissu, papier ou carton. On applique une poudre thermosensible de façon à former une couche de fond (6) à la surface non revêtue du substrat (5); ensuite, soit on chauffe la poudre en continu à la température de réticulation au moyen d'un rayonnement infrarouge, en utilisant au moins des fractions d'infrarouge proche et/ou à ondes courtes, puis on la fait durcir; soit on chauffe la poudre en continu à la température de gélification puis, dans une étape ultérieure du procédé, on termine la réticulation et on fait durcir la poudre. Pour générer le rayonnement infrarouge, on utilise notamment des lampes à halogène (7) associées à un réflecteur (8) qui réfléchit le rayonnement émis en direction du substrat. On règle les lampes à halogène (7) de façon qu'elles émettent un rayonnement ayant un maximum de densité énergétique dans le proche infrarouge.

Abstract: L'invention concerne un ensemble cartouche de filtre comprenant une cartouche de filtre dotée d'un milieu filtrant généralement cylindrique définissant un espace central cylindrique; et deux bouchons d'extrémité fixés aux extrémités opposées du milieu filtrant. Idéalement, la cartouche de filtre est 'sans noyau' du fait qu'elle ne comprend pas de structure centrale de support intégrée. Au moins un des bouchons d'extrémité (par exemple le bouchon d'extrémité proximal) est annulaire et présente une surface intérieure cylindrique définissant un espace intérieur aligné avec l'espace central. Une jupe de scellement tronquée de forme généralement conique est fonctionnellement associée aux bouchons d'extrémité annulaires. La cartouche de filtre est chemisée au-dessus d'une structure centrale de support réutilisable qui comprend une base dotée d'une jupe de scellement tronquée de forme conique, et un élément central tubulaire, rigide et perforé qui est fixé à une extrémité de la base. Le bouchon d'extrémité annulaire et la base de la structure centrale de support sont mécaniquement couplés amovibles l'un à l'autre, idéalement par raccordement fileté. De cette manière, la jupe de scellement coopère coulissante avec la jupe de scellement de la base. La base de la structure centrale de support comprend idéalement une protubérance de siège servant de support à des bagues d'étanchéité (par exemple des joints toriques classiques). La protubérance de siège est donc adaptée pour être disposée amovible, mais par scellement, à l'intérieur d'une structure de siège concave intérieure d'un logement de filtre classique.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a reactive suspension system which counterbalances the effects of side forces using conventional suspension elements, without increasing rigidity on flat ground and in a straight path and without using any engine power. It is essentially characterised in that it consists of a transverse rod (1) or an equivalent structure which is attached to the structure (9) of the vehicle by means of a sliding element (7) or another functionally similar element, and the ends (2) of which are attached to the arms (3) of the wheels (4) so that, on the transverse vertical plane, the movement of the wheels (4) in relation to this rod (1) is approximately rectilinear and vertical, the aforementioned wheels (4) being supported by springs (5) which are attached to the structure of the vehicle body (9) at points (6) situated on the inside of the vertical of the points of articulation thereof with the same wheels, so that a lateral component of the resulting force applied to the vehicle body will bring towards the vertical the springs situated on the side towards which the force pushes the vehicle body, making the vertical component of its reaction bigger and tending to lift the vehicle and, inversely, on the opposite side, the vertical component of the reaction of the springs will be lower since their position becomes less vertical, meaning that the weight of the vehicle will lower it on this side.

Abstract: A pump assembly which comprises a vane pump and a second hydraulic pump driven together with this vane pump. The vane pump has a suction region in which first pressure spaces between the vanes and second, rear pressure spaces behind the vanes become larger and a pressure region in which the pressure spaces become smaller and in which the pressure spaces are fluidically connected to a pressure outlet. This vane pump is intended particularly for supplying operating cylinders of a hydromechanical transmission of a motor vehicle with pressure fluid under relatively high pressure. The second hydraulic pump has positively driven displacement elements and is intended for supplying a circuit having a relatively low system pressure, in particular a lubricating-oil circuit of the motor vehicle, with pressure fluid. So that the vane pump also begins to deliver at low outside temperatures and with highly viscous pressure fluid even at low rotational drive speeds, the rear pressure spaces of the vane pump are connected in the suction region to the pressure outlet of the second hydraulic pump.
