Abstract: A system for an aircraft comprising a controller configured to obtain a first piece of information regarding whether the aircraft has achieved lift-off; to obtain a second piece of information regarding whether the aircraft is in a flight phase in an initial part of lift-off; to determine, on the basis of at least the first piece of information whether the gear is retractable, and, if the gear is retractable in an initial part of the lift-off, to trigger a landing-gear-retraction alarm taking an audio form and/or a visual form, and, if the gear is retractable after the initial part of the lift-off to optionally trigger a second landing-gear-retraction alarm taking an audio form and/or a visual form. A method implemented by the system is provided. Advantageously, an omission of the retraction of the landing gear of an aircraft is notified to its flight crew.

Abstract: The invention relates to an assembly for a turbomachine, comprising: —a nacelle comprising an inlet lip which defines an air inlet, and—a device for modifying the geometry of the air inlet, comprising: —a first spout, and—a second spout, the first spout and the second spout being translatably movable in relation the nacelle between: —a first configuration, in which the first spout forms the inlet lip and the second spout extends inside the nacelle, and—a second configuration, in which the first spout extends away from the inlet lip, and the second spout forms the inlet lip so as to define an air flow channel between a downstream surface of the first spout and an upstream surface of the second spout.

Abstract: The application relates to an insulator (30) for an electrical connection (110) pivotable between a busbar (12) and at least one lug of a cable (25), the insulator (30) being suitable for being secured so as to be rotatably movable relative to the busbar (12). The insulator (30) includes a bottom (31), a wall (32) and an opening (33) near to said bottom for receiving a portion of the busbar (12). It is suitable for enabling the insertion of one side of said portion, and comprises the insertion portions suitable for preventing the insulator (30) from being separated from the busbar (12), and comprises a pivot structure suitable for being aligned with a pivot structure of the busbar (12) when the insulator (30) and the busbar (12) are inserted together. The insulator (30) is also suitable for connections where two cables (25) are connected to the busbar (12).

Abstract: A method for bulk encoding of RFID tags. The method may include printing a plurality of unencoded RFID labels, coupling each of the plurality of unencoded RFID labels to each of a plurality of products, packaging like products from the plurality of products coupled with the unencoded RFID labels together in a container, scanning the container holding the products with an RFID antenna, and encoding each of the unencoded RFID labels coupled to each of the plurality of like products in a container simultaneously with identical information for each container.

Abstract: A novel apparatus is provided for moving tools used in surgery, in particular in dental surgery. The apparatus includes a head into which a tool is attached and a shaft onto which the head is attached, characterized in that said apparatus also includes a means for transmitting the movement of a motor to the tool, the transmission means including a first transmission axis, for transmitting a first movement at a first frequency, and a second transmission axis, for transmitting a second movement at a second frequency, the first frequency being different from the second frequency.

Abstract: A handpiece includes a head for receiving a tool, a rear sleeve for coupling the handpiece to a motor, and a body connecting the head to the rear sleeve. The body includes a hollow sleeve in which mechanical members are mounted in order to transmit a rotating movement to the tool. The body also includes an over-molded casing made from a composite material, in which the hollow sleeve is encased. The handpiece is suitable for use in the dental and medical fields.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for designing and producing a package intended for the protection and/or transportation of a product. All of the digital design steps for the package are integrated in the method for digitizing the product, which includes a step of laminating a virtual key form of the product used to define geometrical data of each layer of the package to be cut. Then, the cutting is carried out followed by the stacking of the layers of the package defined by the design steps for said package to form a real package. The invention also relates to the package obtained by the method.

Abstract: A device for supplying luminous energy to a dental instrument to illuminate the area of treatment on a tooth being treated. The luminous energy is applied from a bulb housed in the device through an optical fiber extending through the dental instrument and having an end disposed for receiving the luminous energy from the bulb. Provision is made for energizing the bulb when the device is mounted on an electrical supply cable. A contact arrangement of two conductive studs disposed in a bore of an insulating sleeve and axially biased by a conductive spring to extend from the bore provides for making contact between the bulb and supply cable when the device is mounted on the supply cable. A section of the bore of the sleeve between the ends of the sleeve defines shoulders limiting the axial travel of the studs which have enlarged ends for engaging the shoulders.

Abstract: An angle-drive head of a dental handpiece with the housing thereof removable. A speed-increasing pinion is provided for meshing with a drive pinion of the angle-drive. A shaft connected to the pinion extends axially in the head and has a speed-increasing pinion for developing a greater speed. A speed-increasing device removably coupled to the head has a third speed-increasing pinion and a fourth pinion is coupled thereto. A tool-receiving jaw is provided in the device for coupling to the fourth speed-increasing pinion for being rotationally driven therefrom.

Abstract: Device for fixing drill bits into the head of air motors for hand-held dentists' tools, of the type incorporating a clip in the rotor inside which the shank of the drill bit is inserted. The fixing clip (6) includes longitudinal slits (7) and is acted on at one of its ends by an elastic means which tends to close the head (10) of the clip (6) on to the drill shank by the cooperation of an inclined surface (11) formed on the head of the clip with a matching inclined surface (12) formed on the inside face of the rotor (2), the head of the air motor being further provided with means which allow the shank of the drill to be released, by compressing said elastic means.

Abstract: A dental handpiece has a hollow main body enclosing a central rotating spindle equipped with tool grip means adjacent its forward end; spring means effects axial movement of the spindle in an inward direction for actuating the tool grip means to provide a gripping function and release means moves the spindle outwardly against the bias of the spring means for deactivating the tool grip means with the release means including a unitary plate removably mounted in the main body with first and second levers being pivotally mounted on opposite sides of the plate so as to be substantially positioned within the confines of the main body; driving ends of the levers are engageable with the spindle for moving the spindle axially outwardly of the main body to deactivate the grip means. The levers are on diametrically opposite sides of the axis of the handpiece and are mounted for pivotal movement in a plane passing through the axis of the hand instrument.
