Abstract: A method of identifying and optionally neutralizing an undersea object (1, 1?) that might be an undersea mine and that is of known geographical position, in which an undersea intervention robot (4, 4?) is used suspended under an aircraft capable of stationary flight, such as a helicopter (7) or a drone, serving to bring the robot (4, 4?) into register with the object (1, 1?) for identification and possibly for being neutralized, the object is identified, and optionally it is neutralized.

Abstract: An electrical cell for the propulsion of a device in an aquatic medium includes a first, second and third chamber forming a housing. The first chamber has an auxiliary electrical cell and a command and control module for the electrical propulsion cell, the second chamber a main electrical cell and members for the controlled admission and regulation of water flow from the aquatic medium in order to form an activation electrolyte for the main cell, and the third chamber a module for triggering the admission by suction of water and the discharge by escape of effluents from an admission valve and an escape valve. The command and control module activates the auxiliary electrical cell to generate electrical energy temporarily and the admission by suction of water from the aquatic medium and the discharge of effluents in order to produce electrical energy from the main electrical cell during a cruise phase.

Abstract: Ship (1) of the type comprising a control bridge (2) with a direct view of the ship's environment, and an operations control room (3) receiving information in real time on the situation of the environment of the ship, prepared by analysis means (4) for analysing the environment of the ship, of which the operations control room (3) comprises means for the panoramic display of the ship's environment.

Abstract: A device for unwinding a wire providing data transmission of any type (instructions or accounts) between two mobile elements (1) and (7) operating in a fluid, includes one or two reels housed in a winder (2). The winder (2), capable of being dissociated from the two mobile elements (1) and (7) includes stabilizing elements for moving away the reeling point from the launching mobile element (7). The invention is applicable to wire-transmission between a submarine and a self-propelled torpedo.

Abstract: A container ship includes a hull, propulsion device, support, guide disposed on the support that is extendible beyond the hull, and handler movable along the guide. Thus, the container ship enables containers to be unloaded near a variety of points of use, i.e., not only in ports that are not equipped with port handling facilities, but also onto unequipped beaches, banks, or landing slips. The container ship also unloads containers in such a manner that it has practically no effect on the equilibrium of the ship, whatever its size.

Abstract: A method of manufacturing a three dimensional stuffed figure provides a face combining the sculptured appearance of a hard face and the softness of a plush face. The face has a front surface of stretch material and a rear surface of non-stretch material defining a stuffing aperture through which is stuffed a quantity of fiberfill sufficient to stretch the stretch material relative to the non-stretch material. Facial details of the front surface of the stuffed face are contoured by tensioning threads (extending from the non-stretch material through the stretch material and back to the non-stretch material) and optionally colored by air brushing. The inverted head is secured to the inverted body to define an inversion aperture, and the inverted head and body are re-inverted through the inversion aperture.

Abstract: The disclosure herein describes a plant assembly that includes a pot and a saucer adapted to be nested together in similarly constructed assemblies; the pot consists of an inverted frusto-conical body with an elongated hollow conically-shaped central part upwardly extending from the bottom wall thereof; the saucer consists of a cylindrical body that includes also a frusto-conical central part that extends upwardly from the bottom wall. Both central parts have enlarged lower areas defining supports allowing similarly constructed pot and saucer assemblies to be nested one within the other.
