Abstract: A mounting system and a kit for installing an accessory on a vehicle are disclosed. The mounting system has a base including a foot portion and a first interface portion. The base defines an axis extending through the first interface portion. The mounting system has an interchangeable swivel member including a second interface portion and an accessory portion. The first interface portion and the second interface portion being configured to selectively engage each other in a first configuration and a second configuration. The mounting system has a resilient connection assembly configured to resiliently connect the interchangeable swivel member to the base. The resilient connection assembly includes a biasing element configured to exert a biasing force to axially bias the first interface portion towards the second interface portion.

Abstract: A cryogenic liquid sampler is provided. The sampler includes an inner volume and a useful internal length, a cryogenic liquid inlet conduit in fluid connection with an inlet valve, a weir tube in fluid connection with the inlet valve, wherein the weir tube comprises at least one weir hole, wherein the weir tube extends a predetermined distance into the inner volume, a cryogenic liquid outlet conduit in fluid connection with inner volume and in fluid connection with an outlet valve, and a purge tube in fluid connection with the outlet valve.

Abstract: One embodiment of the method includes: closing both the inlet valve and the outlet valve, connecting a cryogenic liquid source to the cryogenic liquid inlet conduit, and introducing cryogenic liquid into the cryogenic liquid inlet conduit; opening both the inlet valve and outlet valve, thereby introducing cryogenic liquid into the sampler vessel inner volume, the cryogenic liquid has a free surface; closing both the inlet valve and the outlet valve after cryogenic liquid flows from the purge tube; disconnecting the cryogenic liquid source from the cryogenic liquid inlet conduit; opening the inlet valve, thereby allowing cryogenic liquid to flow from the cryogenic liquid inlet conduit; and closing the inlet valve after the free surface in the sampler vessel inner volume drops below the top of the first cryogenic liquid level, and the cryogenic liquid flow stops.

Abstract: A closure device includes a first part forming a fastening base for fastening to a container neck and second part forming a lid. The second part includes a fastening ring and a hinge connecting the fastening ring to the lid and permitting the lid to pivot relative to the fastening ring between closed and open positions. The fastening ring snaps into a fastening groove in the first part. The second part has a first-opening indicator and a frangible connection between the first-opening indicator and a peripheral rim flange of the lid. A free space between the fastening ring and the first-opening indicator exists when the lid is in the closed position prior to the first opening. Two lock zones on the first part engage the first-opening indicator such that the first-opening indicator separates from the lid and drops into the free space upon the first opening.

Abstract: A closure device includes a first part forming a fastening base for fastening to the container neck and having at least one peripheral fastening groove and a second part forming a lid, a fastening ring defining a reference geometrical axis, and a hinge connecting the fastening ring to the lid for guiding the lid relative to the fastening ring between a closed position and an open position, the fastening ring being engaged by snap-in action into the fastening groove of the first part. The second part additionally also forms a first-opening indicator and a frangible connection between the first-opening indicator and a peripheral rim flange of the lid, a free space being maintained in the axial direction between the fastening ring and the first-opening indicator in the closed position prior to the first opening, the first-opening indicator being retained by at least one lock zone of the first part so as to be separated from the lid and drop into the free space upon the first opening.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for determining over focalization of a pilot of an aircraft. The method includes receiving human parameter data from one or more systems that observe conditions associated with the pilot and receiving controls data that indicates an interaction of the pilot with one or more control systems of the aircraft. The method includes, based on the human parameter data and the controls data, generating at least one alert. The method also includes communicating the at least one alert to the pilot to change a focus of the pilot.

Abstract: A method and a device are provided for detecting lack of reaction of the crew of an aircraft to an alarm related to a path. The method includes monitoring the emitting condition of a plurality of alarms related to dangers in the path of the aircraft and monitoring a reaction of a crew during first and second time intervals determined based on how long the crew should take to response to the initial alarm in the first time interval and an auxiliary alarm in the second time interval. The method also includes implementing automatic avoidance operation for coping with the danger if the crew has not reacted to the alarms by the end of the second time interval.

Abstract: A method and a device for detecting lack of reaction of the crew of an aircraft to an alarm related to a path. The device (1) comprises means (6, 8) for automatically emitting at least one auxiliary alert signal for signalling an alarm related to a path of the aircraft, in case the crew does not react to this alarm.
