The invention also pertains to such compositions for use as a medication, as a dermatological agent, as a cosmetic agent, or as a nutriceutical, for human or animal use.

Abstract: An angle accessory for skirting ducts includes two flaps mounted to pivot about a pivot axis via assembly structure including two male engagement elements on the first flap and two female engagement elements on the second flap. In the vicinity of the male engagement elements, the first flap has at least one flange projecting from one of its end edges and forming an obstacle that co-operates with at least one lip of the first flap to define at least one passageway giving access to at least one male engagement element, the passageway having a small height constraining the flaps to be assembled together by bringing the second flap towards the first flap while tilting the second flap relative to the first flap's pivot axis, and then by straightening up the second flap along the pivot axis so as to engage successively the female engagement elements over the male engagement elements.

Abstract: The separator element can be coupled releasably with a mesh cable duct and is suitable for dividing the cable-housing space along at least a portion of the duct into a pair of adjacent longitudinal compartments. The separator element is formed by a wire which is bent in a manner such as to be coupled with a mesh of the base of the mesh cable duct and to have a portion which projects into the cable-housing space.

Abstract: An angle connection accessory is to be disposed at the junction between at least two skirting ducts extending in different directions. The angle connection accessory includes a plate having: a web; an inlet side face and an outlet side face that extend perpendicularly to at least one partition that is perpendicular to the web and that mutually isolates a first compartment and a second compartment; and an outlet face parallel to the partition via which firstly the first compartment opens directly to the outside, and secondly the second compartment also opens to the outside via a channel isolated from the first compartment and extending substantially perpendicularly to the partition between the second compartment and the outlet face. The plate includes two flaps hinged relative to each other via a hinge so as to form an angle between them, the channel extending at the join between the two flaps.

Abstract: A distributed intercom system including a centralized interconnection unit with a central control device for receiving, processing and transmitting signals, a power distribution device for transmitting a power signal for distribution and at least one cable connection port for receiving a cable connection therein. The system includes a cable with a cable connection element for connection to the cable connection port, and the cable transmits a control signal, a line-level, analog audio signal and the power signal. One or more remote user interface units are connected to and in communication with the centralized interconnection unit through the cable, and the remote user interface unit includes an amplifier, a speaker device and a microphone device. At least one component of the remote user interface unit is powered by the power signal transmitted by the power distribution device.

Abstract: A device for fixing a mesh cable tray to a profiled support section having a plurality of apertures formed in a surface for supporting the tray includes an element having a substantially semi-cylindrical engagement portion which can enclose a portion of a wire of the tray and can restrain it against the support surface. A tail plate is provided which can cooperate with the section on the side opposite to the support surface. The tail plate is connected to the support section by a screw connector.

Abstract: A rocker switch assembly includes a switch body, a mounting strap, a frame, and a paddle for actuating the switch between an on and an off position. The paddle has a uni-convex cylindrical exterior surface. The rocker switch assembly further includes a faceplate in the form of a frame having an opening. The exterior front surface of the faceplate has a uni-convex cylindrical surface profile. In an assembled condition, the paddle substantially occupies the faceplate opening. Due to the selected convex shapes of the paddle and faceplate, a portion of the paddle front surface is always substantially flush with a portion of the faceplate surface and at no time does any part of the paddle surface protrude past the faceplate front surface.

Abstract: An electrical equipment box includes a back incorporating one or more holes of elongate shape in a direction X for fixing the box to a wall. The hole or each hole is in a stud attached to the back by a flexible connection allowing a small offset of the hole relative to a stable original position in a direction Y parallel to the plane of the back and perpendicular to the direction X.

Abstract: An electrical device for use in an electric circuit. The electrical device includes a housing and at least one wiring device disposed within the housing. The at least one wiring device includes an electrical switch. The electrical switch includes at least one terminal member configured to be coupled to the electric circuit. The electrical switch is configured to selectively energize at least one load. The electrical device further includes a remote use indictor module disposed within the housing. The remote use indicator includes a remote use indicator circuit coupled to the electrical switch and a remote use indicator coupled to the remote use indicator circuit. The remote use indicator circuit is configured to detect when the at least one load is energized or de-energized, and actuate the remote use indicator in response thereto. The electrical device further includes an indicia holder disposed in the housing.

Abstract: A tie includes a strap having two end segments connected by an extensible intermediate portion provided with a succession of frangible bridges each connecting a first part of the intermediate portion to a second part of the intermediate portion. Two or more of the frangible bridges have different sections.

Abstract: A piezo-active device includes a piezo-electric element and an elastically deformable shell in which the piezo-electric element is disposed. The use of this piezo-active device includes, for supplying power to an electrical circuit connected to the piezo-electric element, the step of exerting on the piezo-active device a punctual mechanical action and then allowing the piezo-active device to resonate freely. An appliance includes this kind of piezo-active device, en electrical circuit connected to the piezo-electric element, and means for exerting the punctual mechanical action. A system includes this kind of appliance whose electrical circuit can emit electromagnetic waves and a second appliance adapted to receive waves emitted by the first appliance.
