Abstract: A line laying and/or recovering method in a body of water that includes providing a laying device including two facing upstream grippers and two facing downstream grippers, defining a passage for the circulation of the line; lowering the line to at least one stop position; stopping the line in the at least one stop position; and, prior to the at least one stopping of the line in the stop position, limited downward overrun past the stop position to a change of direction position; time delay in the change of direction position; limited raising of the line from the change of direction position to the stop position.

Abstract: A fan module for an aircraft turbine engine includes a fan with a fan shaft and variable-pitch fan blades. The fan module further includes an oil transfer device transfers oil between a stator and an actuator that controls the pitch of the fan blades the device includes a stator ring having an inner cylindrical surface and internal oil ducts, each of which opens onto the inner cylindrical surface. A shaft is engaged in the stator ring and capable of rotating rotates about an axis inside the ring. The shaft includes an outer cylindrical surface extending inside said inner cylindrical surface. The shaft has internal oil ducts, each of which opens onto said outer cylindrical surface. A rolling bearing is mounted between the ring and the shaft, on each side of the plain bearing.

Abstract: In certain embodiments, a communication network has a specialized ingress node that converts one or more incoming flows into a single, packetized, time-division multiplexed (TDM) flow; a switch fabric that routes the TDM flow via a fixed path through the switch fabric in a contention-free manner; and a specialized egress node that converts the TDM flow received from the switch fabric into one or more outgoing flows corresponding to the one or more incoming flows. The technology turns legacy, best-effort packet-switching into deterministic circuit-switching for a programmable selection of flows with minimal impact on network dynamics and at relatively low cost.

Abstract: A battery module can include multiple battery cells, multiple cell tubes, and a first plate. The multiple cell tubes can accommodate the multiple battery cells within the plurality of cell tubes so that individual of the plurality of battery cells are positioned within individual of the plurality of cell tubes. Each battery cell can have a first electric pole and a second electric pole. The first plate can include a printed circuit board. The printed circuit board can include a first conductive layer and an isolating layer. The isolating layer can include at least one blind hole for wire-bonding the conductive layer to one of the battery cells.

Abstract: A flexible listings search system can receive and return results for flexible listing searches. For example, the system can perform micro-flexible searches (e.g., plus or minus a few days) or super flexible searches (e.g., a time span in one or more months), using listing arrays that can be rapidly accessed to efficiently identify and return results. The search system can perform flexible destination searches for different categories of accommodations for display in a viewport.

Abstract: A flexible feature and location-based listings system can provide accommodation listings using different feature categories and a location of the searching user. The returned listings can be modified upon providing the listings to a searching user. The returned listings can be modified in response to selection of a first feature category and re-modified in response to a second feature category in an expanded geographic search area.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a part made from composite material includes the steps of: applying, to a tool, layers of prepreg composite material for constituting a preform; installing a cover on the preform and sealingly connecting this cover to the tool with sealant; applying a vacuum to the enclosure delimited by the cover and the tool containing the preform; and heating the assembly to a given temperature for a predetermined time period in order to polymerise the layers of prepreg composite material. Also, a step of applying at least one silicone patch to geometrically complex zones of the tool and/or the preform may be performed before installing the cover. The cover may include at least one polyimide and/or at least one compound from the phthalonitrile family.

Abstract: The present invention relates to highly porous polymeric materials comprising covalently grafted biologically active species. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of highly porous materials comprising functional monomers capable of grafting to a biologically active molecular species comprising the steps of: (a) preparing an emulsion composition comprising a droplet phase and a continuous phase and containing monomers, (b) curing the emulsion and (c) optionally removing the water/droplet phase. The invention further relates to a process for grafting biologically active species to such a highly porous polymeric material comprising the steps of: (i) exposing the highly porous material to a solution of the biologically active species in a suitable solvent medium, (ii) optionally adding an activating agent, (iii) optionally heating, and (iv) rinsing the porous material with solvent medium to remove non-grafted species.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for providing access to computer resources from a light client including a host computer platform including (i) an application program configured to interact with a user to provide displayable results and (ii) a host routine configured to interface the application program to a communications link; and a server including (i) a remote routine configured to interactively interface with the host routine on the communications link to provide remote access to the application program, and (ii) a remote access hosting routine configured to provide the displayable results in a form displayable by said light client and to retransmit commands from the user to the application program via the remote routine.
