Abstract: An apparatus and method that efficiently removes water from a surface without the need for a towel and effectively removes hair or fur from a surface. The apparatus is designed to provide a comfort gripping region to a human hand to facilitate ease in use. The material that the apparatus is made from can be static electric attracting to more effectively remove charged particles such as hair or fur from a surface. The apparatus may have various flex edges, including combs, slits and bulges.

Abstract: The invention relates to an RF circulator device with n ports allowing an RF signal to circulate in a single direction, where the circulator has at least three ports, an input port for receiving a radio frequency signal to be transmitted to a second port designed to be connected to an antenna port, an output port capable of being connected to a receiving device or a load, comprising a first and a second microswitches each comprising two armatures of which the first is a flexible membrane and the second comprises at least one zone of a signal line, both armatures being separated by a thickness of void or of gas, the device making it possible to connect the main line to ground planes by self-actuation of the membrane under the effect of an input signal power.

Abstract: A power center system for use with video display devices having a housing 2 for power conditioning circuitry for ameliorating electrical anomalies, housing 2 adapted for attachment to a flat surface 9, and mount 21 attached to housing 2 for supporting a video display device. The system includes a retransmitter for receiving video, audio and/or control signals from an external source and retransmitting them to the video device.

Abstract: The invention relates to a range finding method for a target by means of a pulsed laser (4) and a device for detecting pulses backscattered by the target, which comprises a step for emitting pulses with a repetition frequency f. The detection device comprises an array of photodiodes (21) associated with integrators (22?).

Abstract: The present invention proposes an onboard computer equipped with a stand-alone aeraulic cooling device. Its main benefit is that it improves the effectiveness of the aeraulic cooling of onboard computers, thanks to the provision of ducts (N1, N2, N3) routing a cool air stream (FA) to the hot spots of the electronic modules (E1, E2, E3, E4).

Abstract: An adjustable height seat post for bicycles that comprises an inner tube slidably contained within an outer tube which supports a bicycle seat. The outer tube clamps into a bicycle frame and contains a spring which acts to force the inner tube upward. The inner tube is allowed longitudinal movement within the fixed outer tube via a locking mechanism that forces ball bearings into pockets or channels on the inner tube. The locking mechanism can be remotely activated with a handlebar mounted lever or manually with a seat post mounted lever.
