Abstract: A system for the geolocation of vehicles traveling on a guideway comprises the vehicles and markers distributed episodically along the guideway. The vehicles are equipped with a sensor for detecting a physical characteristic of the markers, and a computer for supplying location information as a function of signals delivered by the sensor. The computer stores a database comprising a recording of the distribution of the markers on the guideway. The markers having a physical characteristic detectable by the sensors. The markers each belong to one and only one class among a plurality of classes of physical objects, and the physical characteristic of all the markers of a class have the same property during detection by one of the sensors. The markers are randomly distributed on the guideway, with an ordered recording of the class to which each of the markers arranged on the guideway is stored in the database.

Abstract: A continuous automated extraction system and method for physically extracting at least one liquid phase of a series of liquid microsamples which are taken beforehand in discrete packets, both in space and in time, and are in stored is provided. The method may include an extraction system having a centrifuge provided with a plurality of microholders, at least one of which is filled with the corresponding microsample and includes a filling upper portion that is extended by a separating lower portion of smaller cross section than that of the upper portion. Each filled microholder has a mass which is more than ten times the mass of this microsample, in such a way that it is possible to extract, by centrifugation, at a given instant, only a single microsample contained in a single microholder, or several microsamples contained in some or all of these microholders, progressively as the latter are filled.

Abstract: The invention relates to a fluid connection device and to a continuous automated system and method for taking fluid microsamples using this device. A device (20) according to the invention, which is intended to be connected to a first line (21) via a first opening and includes a second opening through which a second line (28) passes, comprises: a female fluid connector (22) that defines the first opening and has an internal fitting surface (23) terminating in a female end (24) into which this first line opens; and a male fluid connector (25) that defines the second opening, which is fitted into the female connector via its external surface (26) and terminates via its male radial end (27) inside the female connector.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device and a method for counting elementary particles emitted by a fluid, the device comprising a line for transferring the fluid and, outside the line, detection means (6a) for detecting the particles that are attenuated by a wall of the line and/or by this fluid. A counting device according to the invention includes at least one counting portion (4a) of oblong cross section which joins together two adjacent portions of the line having a larger flow section and which has an [internal height (h)/internal width (l)] ratio of 20% or less, in which the internal height and the internal width represent the smallest and largest transverse dimensions respectively of the portion, these being measured along two approximately perpendicular directions, said detection means extending transversely to this portion, facing its entire internal width and on either side thereof.
