Abstract: An all-terrain outdoor elevating nacelle comprising a mechanism for lifting a working platform, this mechanism being mounted on a chassis provided with a front bridge and a rear bridge that are provided with wheels. The motive power for moving the elevating nacelle on the ground is provided by a first electric motor and that for actuating the lifting mechanism is provided by a second electric motor via a hydraulic pump which it drives. The motors are supplied by a battery that can be recharged by one or more single-phase chargers on board the elevating nacelle from a single-phase or three-phase electrical network, a slot being further provided for mounting a power supply unit intended to be connected to the charger(s) to recharge the battery. The elevating nacelle is more environmentally friendly and quieter.

Abstract: The aerial lift comprises a working platform 130 and a lifting structure 120 supporting the platform 130 on one side. At least three, preferably four, force sensors 41, 42 are interposed between the lifting structure 120 and the platform 130. The support interfaces for the force sensors 41, 42 are all situated on a side of the floor 13 1 of the platform 130 that is situated towards the side of the working platform on which it is supported by the lifting structure 120. Each of the force sensors 41, 42 is provided to measure the force exerted only in the vertical direction by the platform 130 on the support interface thereof when the floor of the working platform extends horizontally.

Abstract: The invention relates to a lifting appliance which includes a frame (3), wheels (9) mounted on axles (30) of the frame (3), each wheel (9) including a rim (90) having a radial web (92) attached to a rotary element (342) at one of the ends (32) of one of the axles (30), a load support and means for raising the load support. The radial webs (92) of the rims (90) are axially offset towards one (95) of the side edges (94, 95) of the wheels (9) relative to a median plane (P9) of each wheel (9). The wheels (9) are suitable for being mounted on the axles (30) in a first position, corresponding to a usage configuration of the lifting platform in which the median planes (P9) are separated from the frame (3), and in a second position, corresponding to a transport configuration of the lifting platform, in which the median planes (P9) are moved closer to the frame (3).

Abstract: A mutant Fab fragment of the 13B8.2 anti-CD4 antibody that binds a CD4 molecule and includes a mutation of at least one residue in a position situated in the VH variable domain of the heavy chain and/or in a position situated in the V? variable domain of the light chain.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to compositions and methods of preventing for treating a retroviral infection, more particularly an HIV (human immunodeficiency virus) infection, and even more particularly an HIV-1 infection. The compositions and methods involve molecules that mimic the active site of the human CD4 protein.
