Title: Interface device of bi-directional connection of currents carrying low voltage/radiofrequency
Inventor: CHAFFANJON DANIEL
IPC: H04B3/54
Filed: 1997-10-13
Abstract: The invention concerns an interface device of bi-directional connection of currents carrying low voltage/radiofrequency. It comprises a module for coupling currents carrying low voltage/radiofrequency delivering in reception signals (rcp) representing reception of carrier currents, a first channel (I) of currents carrying low voltage/radiofrequency delivering a signal modulating radiofrequency transmission (sme). A coupling device (2) receives in transmission the modulating signal (sme) for transmitting a radiofrequency signal (srfe) representing the carrier currents, and, in reception, a reception radiofrequency signal (srfr) transmitted to a second channel (II) of currents carrying low voltage/radiofrequency. The second channel (II) delivers signals (ecp) representing the carrier currents in transmission to the module (1) for transmission of the low voltage line. The invention is useful for house automation and for managing subscriber services.

Title: Equipment for rotary powder moulding of multilayer plastic skin, e.g., for subsequent foaming as automobile component
Inventor: LOUYS FRANCOIS
IPC: B29C41/22
Filed: 1997-05-22
Abstract: The novel equipment forms a plastic cladding or skin for an automobile component. A moulding shell is used in a first stage of skin formation. A zone (3) of this shell is masked (2). A first plastic (5) depositor (4) coats another, unmasked zone (6), to form the first section (7) of skin. During a second stage, once the mask has been taken away, a second plastic depositor coats another plastic onto both the first and second zones, hence overcoating the first layer. Thus the skin includes a bonded, overlapping layer and two single layers, the whole forming a single piece. Novel features include the depositors, comprising two open-ended tubs (4) accepting plastic and fitting the shell. These are used in rotary moulding operations, which form the coatings. The first tub (4) includes a screen (12) masking the first zone (3), keeping it clear of plastic in the first stage. The mask is mounted to and dismounted from the moulding shell, together with the first tub.

Title: Electronic labelling system for display of prices on supermarket shelves
Inventor: JOLIEY BERNARD
IPC: G09F3/20
Filed: 1997-06-18
Abstract: The electronic labelling system allows electronic labels to be fitted to the edges of shelves in a large store. The system uses a rail (1) made of insulating plastic material comprising a base and upper and lower projecting edges. The label consists of a unit (20) which fits into the rail such that it is supported between the upper and lower projecting edges. The label is held in place by two projecting pegs - one at the bottom engaging a slot in the lower edge of the rail, and one at the top engaging a similar slot in the upper edge of the rail. The upper projecting peg is mounted on a block which can move within the label so that it can project or be withdrawn. A spring (28) biased the peg to the projecting position so that it locks the label in place. A magnetic device is used to displace the block and withdraw the peg, thus allowing the label to be removed from the rail.

Title: Television satellite signal receiving aerial reflector assembly
Inventor: POCHET ROGER
IPC: H01Q1/44
Filed: 1997-10-03
Abstract: The shadow of the index mark falls on a graduated scale to enable alignment of the satellite dish. The aerial for receiving HF satellite television broadcasts is in the form of a parabolic reflector (11) at the focus of which is the signal receiver (18). The precise orientation of the parabolic reflector is achieved with the aid of an index (12,13) whose shadow cast by the sun is projected on to a graduated scale (14,15) formed on the surface of the parabolic reflector.  The detection of the location of the index shadow at specific times in the day provides the possibility of optimum alignment of the aerial for receiving the television programmes transmitted by satellite.

Title: Air distillation process to produce argon
Inventor: SAULNIER BERNARD
IPC: F25J3/04
Filed: 1998-12-22
Abstract: The installation is dimensioned to produce argon with a nominal yield rho n of  argon from the column outlet. When the need for argon is reduced to a yield  rho , where  rho  is less  than or equal to  rho o less than or equal to  rho n and  rho o is a preset optimal yield, the extraction yield  from the column is maintained at  rho o. The excess argon is used as a refrigeration source for the  air to be distilled The air distillation installation (1) comprises an air distillation device (2) and at least one column (3) producing impure argon. The excess argon is  extracted from the top of the column in liquid or gas form and is sent to at least one heat  exchanger (5, 24).  This extracted fraction is mixed (in 33) with a residual fluid taken from one of  the columns (4, 9) before it is sent to the heat exchanger.  This residual fluid comes from the  medium pressure column and is sent to the low pressure column.  The fluid can be impure argon  extracted from the levels below the top of the medium pressure column and the mixture is sent to  the top of the low pressure column.  The installation also includes a column producing pure argon  (4) by de-nitrogenation in the impure argon production column (3), extracting at least part of the  excess argon in liquid or gas form from the top of the pure argon production column (4) and send  it to a heat exchanger or to the distillation apparatus.  The air distillation device has a double  column comprising a medium pressure column (8), a low pressure column (9) and a vaporizer - condenser (10)  thermally linking the top of the medium pressure column with the base of the low  pressure column.  rho o is the yield for which a maximum flow D( rho o) of nitrogen can be extracted  and for required yields less than  rho o a nitrogen flow greater than D( rho ) or equal to D( rho o) is  extracted.  The additional nitrogen is used as a refrigerant after being expanded through a turbine  and passage through a heat exchanger to cool the air to be distilled. Installation to carry out this  process with at least one bypass pipe (48) sending part of the impure argon to the heat  exchanger.
