Abstract: A lighting module for a motor vehicle, including a first lighting submodule with a light source that is able to form a first light beam, a second lighting submodule that is able to form a second light beam, a second projecting lens for projecting the second light beam, adjoining the first projecting lens, and an optical device configured to return, towards the second projecting lens, light rays coming directly from the light source of the first lighting submodule and passing in front of the reflective surface of the first lighting module so as to give the second projecting lens an illuminated appearance while the second lighting submodule is off.

Abstract: This invention concerns a method for the manufacture of a granulated aerogel (1) from a precursor (2), comprising the following steps: mixing the precursor (2) with a synthetic solvent (3) and a hydrolysis agent such as water, and if appropriate a catalyst (4), to obtain a gel, granulating the resulting product, in particular by cutting a jet of said gel, to produce granules, maintaining the granules in contact with the synthetic solvent (3) and the hydrolysis agent, washing the granules by adding a washing solvent to extract in particular the hydrolysis agent and, if appropriate, the catalyst (4), drying of the granules to extract the synthetic solvents (3) and/or washing solvents by sending them supercritical CO2 in excess, the steps of granulating, maintaining, washing and drying being carried out at a pressure higher than that of the critical point of CO2, and these conditions being maintained between these steps.

Abstract: A device for closing a vehicle optical housing opening, the device including a cap, the cap being configured to close the opening in response to a reversible movement. The device further includes flexible or articulated connecting means fixed to the cap and designed to be fixed to the housing so that, after opening, the cap remains attached to the housing by the connecting means.

Abstract: A cooling device for cooling a light source located in an automotive luminous device. This cooling device includes a heat sink intended to be in thermal contact with the light source, a plurality of fins in direct thermal contact with the heat sink, a plurality of pins in direct thermal contact with the heat sink and a fan. The fan is arranged to make a fluid flow from an inlet of the cooling device to an outlet to the cooling device, so that the plurality of fins are nearer the inlet than the plurality of pins.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to an engine in which compression and expansion is performed in the same cylinder. Also disclosed is a microprocessor for controlling the state of various valves in the cylinder—including an intake valve, a transfer valve, and an exhaust valve—to cause a compression or expansion to occur. A compression tank is provided for receiving, via the transfer valve, compressed air, which may be retrieved during an expansion (combustion) cycle. Compressed air for from multiple consecutive compressions may be stored in the tank and retrieved later, including for multiple consecutive expansions. Compression and expansion are not required to occur in any fixed or predetermined pattern and the microprocessor may evaluate vehicle sensors to determine a power demand, and cause compression or expansion to occur depending on the given power demand.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to HIF-2? inhibitors and methods of making and using them for treating iron overload disorders. Certain compounds were potent in HIF-2? scintillation proximity assay, luciferase assay, and VEGF ELISA assay, and reduced liver iron accumulation and serum iron parameters in both prophylactic and treatment mouse models.

Abstract: A portable detector for use with an imaging system is disclosed. The portable detector automatically sets one or more operational states based on at least a determination as to whether the portable detector is connected to external power. An imaging system is also disclosed that ascertains whether the portable detector is connected via a tether. The imaging system may perform a compatibility check when connected to the portable detector to assess compatibility between the imaging system and the portable detector.

Abstract: Machine for producing macroperforated plastic film by means of a cold-stamping process, using entrainment (3) and stamping (4) rollers, with adjustment of pressure; said machine is provided with an automated system for recovering the excess material cut out for the recycling (8) thereof and the purpose of the machine is to produce a (single-layer or multi-layer) sheet of macroperforated film for use, essentially, in the packaging of palletized systems, thereby allowing optimum ventilation without creating a thermal barrier, resulting in a reduction in consumption of polymeric materials with no reduction in mechanical strength.

Abstract: A work vehicle comprises a frame, a circle gear mounted to the frame to rotate relative thereto, a moldboard coupled to the circle gear to rotate therewith, and a circle drive gearbox comprising gearing, a first worm, and a second worm, the gearing meshing with the circle gear, the first and second worms meshing with the gearing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a sheet of a plastic film macroperforated by means of a cold punching process and formed by one or more layers, to be used mainly in the packaging of palletising systems, enabling optimum ventilation without creating a heat barrier, and reducing the consumption of polymer materials without reducing the mechanical resistance.

Abstract: A new variety of Citrus sinensis plant named ‘Onix Blood’, resulting from a spontaneous mutation, has fruit with a dark red-purple hue, almost black. About 60% of the ‘Onix Blood’ fruit display this characteristic. The remaining 40% of the fruit have 1 to 3 striking smooth chimeras, without bumps and vertically intense orange. The fruits of ‘Onix Blood’ are round-oval with a high red juice content that is balanced, have a juicy pulp, and are aromatic. These unique traits make it valuable blood orange tree.
