Abstract: A latch has a displaceable latching element in a housing for engagement with a separate striker arm to be latched behind an engagement shoulder of the latching element. The housing mounts a cylinder lock to receive a key from the front. A rotor is mounted on the rear of cylinder lock and rotation of the key rotation the rotor to drive a locking element to engage and lock the latching element. The rotor may also be axial displaceable against spring biasing responsive to a rear unit pushing element whereby unlocking from a rear cylinder lock may rotate the rotor to unlock and pushing causes the latching element to be displaced against its biasing to release the striker arm. Embodiments include a gravity biased and manually opened latch and a spring biased self-locking embodiment.

Abstract: The invention relates to a vehicle (1) including a user seat comprising a backrest (3), a seat portion (4) and lateral edges (5) provided on both sides of the seat portion. The vehicle has a reduced production cost and a structure that facilitates the adaptation thereof to a plurality of activities, in particular owing to the fact that the seat, which is made from plastic, is produced in the form of a single piece, the lateral edges (5) being extended downwards such as to form two rear conduits intended to receive at least one rear movement member (26, 27, 28). The invention also relates to a vehicle production method in which rotational molding is used to form an ergonomic seat.

Abstract: A latch has a magnet in one unit and an attracted element (e.g. ferromagnetic structure or another magnet) in second unit with a latching mechanism which operate under magnetic attraction. The latch has an actuator connected to a linkage to cause displacement of the magnet or the attracted element in a direction substantially normal to the axis of pivoting.

Abstract: Disclosed therein is a fluid flow control device having a cylinder assembly, which includes cylinders overlapped with each other and fluid pathways for controlling flow rate and velocity of fluid, comprising: a first cylinder having a plurality of first fluid pathways of an elongated form horizontally permeating the cylinder from a central axis; a second cylinder disposed on the outer circumference of the first cylinder; and a third cylinder disposed on an outer circumference of the second cylinder.
Abstract: Methods for embedding photocatalytic titanium dioxide in asphalt surfaces to reduce pollutants via photocatalytic reactions are provided herein. One method includes applying an amount of an asphalt surface treatment compound to an upper surface of the asphalt surface, the asphalt surface treatment compound including a mixture of a liquid carrier compound with a titanium dioxide (TiO2) photocatalyst.
Abstract: A solar energy collector system includes a base, and a parabolic trough collector carried by the base for reflecting sunlight to a longitudinal focal line. The parabolic trough collector includes a center section horizontally positioned with respect to ground, and opposing end sections adjacent the center section. Each end section is angled towards the ground. A conduit is positioned along the longitudinal focal line to receive the reflected sunlight. The conduit circulates a heat transfer liquid therethrough to be heated by the reflected sunlight.

Abstract: An aqueous-based food coloring concentrate is formed by blending a food-grade emulsifier with a food-grade organic solvent to form a blend which is then mixed with an aqueous solution of a food-grade colorant. The co-solvent must both disperse the emulsifier and be miscible in water. The formed concentrate is a single-phase product that can be mixed with oil or fat. If mixed with fat, it disperses evenly throughout the fat providing a uniformly-colored product without streaks or splotches. When combined with the oil it forms a single-phase product that remains stable for a period long enough to be applied to color the surface of other food products.
Abstract: The versatile secure system includes at least one wire detection element for detecting a separation of an object from a display system, at least a base, a sliding column, a head, a cover or a monitoring unit, the head receiving a detector and the object attached thereto. The column has two opposite ends, the base, the column and the head being distinct elements assembled together, the head receiving a detector including one detection sensor for detecting a separation of the object, the sensor being connectable by an electric cable to a wire monitoring electronic unit, the head being removably attached to a first end of the column, the base including a hole through which the second end of the column may be inserted and the column be slid and immobilized at the desired height by an immobilization element, the column being hollow for accommodating a spool and the electric cable.
Abstract: An anti-theft protection system for goods presented to the public includes a set of sensors connected to the goods and linked to a control unit capable of determining states, the states being at least a state of presence of the goods and a state of theft attempt and/or actual theft, the shift from a state of presence of the goods to a state of theft attempt and/or actual theft resulting, in the absence of inhibition of the detection for the sensor, in the control unit being set into alarm, the control unit including or being connected to a sonorous alarm generating elements.
