Abstract: An automatic cycle storage system comprising cycles, each of which carries a blocking device and an electronic circuit; a cycle storage area serving to receive the cycles while they are not being used; and a control device adapted to authorize, selectively, cycles to be borrowed from the storage area. The control device and the cycle are each provided with a respective short-range wireless communications interface, and the cycle includes an electrical lock device adapted to lock the blocking device in the blocking position.

Abstract: There is provided a convenience comprising a frame, a floor and a floor cleaning device, said floor cleaning device comprising a water feeding conduit and a water dispensing nozzle, connected to said conduit and opening close to the floor, said nozzle comprising a neck having two converging surfaces facing each other, one of which is formed in the frame of the convenience.

Abstract: There is provided a convenience (1) comprising a sanitary compartment (7) having a toilet bowl (8), and an equipment room (10) separated from the sanitary compartment (7) and accessible through a door (16) from the outside of the convenience (1), independent from the sanitary compartment access, said convenience (1) further comprising a urinal (32), which is at least partly formed in the door (16) of the equipment room (10) and separated from the sanitary compartment (7).

Abstract: The portable appliance informs users about waiting times at stops in a bus network, the appliance comprising a radio receiver to receive data enabling waiting times to be determined, an interrogation keypad, a central unit for evaluating the estimated time of arrival of the next bus at a particular stop, a screen for displaying the waiting time for said bus, and a sound emitter. The central unit is designed to update cyclically the estimated time of arrival for the next bus and to actuate the sound emitter when said estimated time of arrival differs excessively from the time of arrival initially estimated the last time the appliance was interrogated by the user.

Abstract: This display panel for a plurality of posters to be displayed sequentially comprises a pair of spools, namely a feed spool and a take-up spool, and drive means for causing each spool to become by turns the feed spool and the take-up spool, and means for automatically correcting the lateral shift of the poster band by reducing the tension exerted on the paper on the side opposite the buckling side, or, in other words, for creating on the side opposite said observed buckling another compensating effect buckling so as to change the orientation of said shift, which in any case is detected by means known per se; the correction means are such that they modify the inclination of one spool in relation to the other in the poster plane in order to reduce the distance between the axes of the two spools on the side opposite the buckling of said poster band which is due to a reduction in the paper tension.
