Abstract: The invention relates to a method for at least partially deconstructing a flat display screen (10), the screen (10) comprising: —a substantially flat faceplate (11) comprising four side edges and a visible part (12) on a front face of the screen (10), said visible part (12) being intended to display images, —a frame (13) that mounts the faceplate (11) by partially covering at least the front face and two side edges, the method comprising steps of: —disposing (100) a single screen (10) on a holding device (20), and —clamping (110) the single screen (10) to the holding device (20). The method is essentially characterized in that it also comprises a step of: —effecting plastic deformation (120) of the frame (13) while maintaining the integrity of the faceplate (11).

Abstract: A method is described for cold-cutting a lamp having an inner pressure that is lower than the atmospheric pressure and containing a pollutant. The method includes keeping the lamp in position; cutting the lamp at at least one cutting point; prior to cutting, submerging the cutting point in a liquid or pasty composition; keeping the cutting point submerged during the cutting; and suctioning part of the composition into each cut-off portion. The composition is a dilatant and has a temperature no lower than the pour point thereof, prior to the cutting step. After the cutting, the temperature of the dilatant composition is reduced to a temperature lower than the pour point thereof, such as to increase the viscosity thereof and create a sealed stopper.

Abstract: A method of containing a sample of a gaseous mixture flowing in a pipeline at a flow rate, for analysis of same by at least one analyzer of which the operating conditions are not compatible with the physico-chemical conditions of the gaseous mixture in the pipeline is described. The method includes collecting a sample of the gaseous mixture in the pipeline, diluting the collected sample with a dry dilution gas, at a dilution temperature (T_dil) equal to or close to the temperature (T_prel) of the gaseous mixture in the pipeline during the collection step, and conveying the collected and diluted sample out of the pipeline via an outlet pipe for analysis of the same by said analyzer.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for establishing a strategy for cutting out a flat screen (10) including an exposed panel (12) and a frame (11), with a view to upgrading at least a portion of the components thereof, comprising the steps of: determining (110) the dimensions of the exposed panel and the outer dimensions of the screen at least in the plane of the exposed panel; defining (120) the three-dimensional position of the screen in a three-dimensional frame of reference space; defining (130), in the frame of reference, at least one reference line (REF) that is parallel to one of the edges of the frame; and defining (140) at least one cutting line (CUT) of the frame, from which the distance (DC) to the reference line is constant and predetermined.

Abstract: The invention relates to cleaning equipment for cleaning a tank intended for storing inflammable products and that defines an internal volume (Vint) provided with an opening, this equipment comprising a shutter (1) suitable for closing the opening, a flexible hose (2) that passes through the shutter (1), a trolley (3) sized in order to be introduced into the internal volume (Vint) of the tank, and a cleaning head (4) borne by the trolley (3), connected to the flexible hose (2), and designed in order to spray a cleaning liquid delivered at high pressure by the flexible hose (2). The equipment of the invention also comprises a rod (5) connected to the trolley (3) and passing through the shutter (1), and the trolley (3) comprises a chassis (30) provided with rolling members (300) so as to be able to adopt, in the tank, apposition controlled by an action exerted on the rod (5) in the space (Ext) external to the tank.

Abstract: The invention relates to an automatic waste treatment process, and corresponding device, said process comprising the steps consisting in delivering a number of individual waste items conveying at least one individual waste item and analyzing said individual waste item. According to the invention, the step of analyzing the individual waste item includes a step consisting in determining the biogenic carbon content of the individual waste item.

Abstract: A composting method, and corresponding device, for an organic mass placed in a composting zone, includes the following steps: measuring, with a probe, in at least one measuring point of the composting zone, at least one physic-chemical parameter, and aerating the organic mass. The method is basically characterized in that the probe is inserted in the organic mass, and in that aeration includes a step of sequential blowing, a function of the measuring step. Advantageously, the probe is mobile so that it can cover any point of the composting zone.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for processing fatty wastes leading to a better valorization, particularly for use as fuel. According to the invention, this method is substantially characterized in that it comprises a chemical treatment of fatty wastes (1, 1?), wherein fatty wastes (1, 1?) are mixed with water (8) and an acid-type reagent (7) so as to obtain a demineralized fatty phase not containing mineral elements belonging to the alkaline and alkaline earths families, and an aqueous phase which may include solid residues as precipitates; followed by a mechanical treatment wherein the obtained mixture undergoes a mechanical separation (11) through decanting or filtering, so as to separate the demineralized fatty phase from the aqueous phase.

Abstract: The present invention relates in general to a method for selectively sorting miscellaneous items, particularly waste, which allows various types of items to be sorted sequentially, and to a selective sorting installation suited to such a method.
