Abstract: A device for non-invasively evaluating or monitoring an intra-abdominal pressure and/or abdominal wall deformations and/or a risk of incisional hernia of a subject at a preventive stage and/or a pre-operative stage and/or a post-operative stage, the device includes an adjustable and flexible frame, the frame comprising a central area, a left lateral area and a right lateral area; a network of main sensors suitable for measuring local deformations and/or local forces on the surface of the abdomen of the subject, the network of main sensors being assembled to the frame, wherein at least one main sensor is located in each area of the frame; connecting means adapted for connecting the network of main sensors to a treatment unit; and possibly positioning means adapted for positioning the device on the abdomen and/or adjustment means adapted for adjusting the device on the abdomen.

Abstract: A method for measuring the state of health, of at least one semiconductor-based power electronics, comprising: a—determining, at an initial time t0, a first current value I(t0)=I,ZCP0 when the voltage V is equal to a voltage V(t0)=V,ZCP0, the power electronics component then being in an “initial time” state; b—measuring a value of the current I at each subsequent time ti for which the user wishes to ascertain the quantitative indicator D(ti), when the voltage V at the time ti is equal to the voltage V,ZCP0, the power electronics component then being in a “time ti” state; c—the processor computing a quantitative indicator D(ti) of the degradation of the power electronics component at each subsequent time ti, the value of which indicator depends on the variation in the value of the current I between the “initial time” state and the “time ti” state.

Abstract: A use of a thiosulfate as a retarder for a cement paste comprising a magnesium phosphate cement.

Abstract: This invention relates to a method for users localization and guidance of the movements of the users through a building adapted in relation to an event, along paths leading to one or more given target places, with connected objects (T, T?) in communication link with a remote resource server which is a control server (S) accessible by a communication network, comprising the following steps: on the basis of a digital model of the building (BIM, CIM), nodes (N) and edges (A) are computed; a user waiting list is assigned to each passage node; a Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) of movement toward the target places (“E”, “S”, “W”) is automatically computed with the nodes and the edges (A); the actual location of an event is detected; the actual position of each user located in the building is computed; as a function of the profile of the user, of the user's location in real time in the building causing the inaccessibility of certain nodes of the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG), the so-called ‘updated’ Directed Acyclic Gra

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for regenerating activated carbon in the form of porous fibres by electro-Fenton reaction, a method for regenerating activated carbon loaded with organic pollutants using the device of the invention, and the use of a filter consisting of porous fibres of activated carbon, which filter has previously been loaded with organic pollutants by filtration of polluted water or polluted air, as the cathode of an electro-Fenton reaction for regenerating the activated carbon porous fibres loaded with organic pollutants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for detecting defects of at least one metal wire of a set of metal wires, in particular in a cable, the method including: a step of emitting a high-frequency ultrasound signal around a so-called specific frequency in the metal wire; a step of reflecting said ultrasound signal in the metal wire; and a step of receiving the reflected ultrasound signal. The emitted ultrasound signal enables the energisation of at least one high-frequency wave capable of propagating in a longitudinal direction of the metal wire and having a phase velocity that is slightly higher than a compression volume wave velocity in the metal from which the metal wire is made.
