Abstract: A flame-barrier device has a plurality of openings that are essentially parallel relative to a flow of substance passing therethrough, the device being made up of an assembly of a plurality of pierced disks whose openings co-operate with adjacent corresponding openings to form through channels.

Abstract: In order to fix the electronic module (14) in the cavity (12, 14, 16) of a card body (10), a fixing ring (20) is placed on a shoulder (18) in the cavity. The ring (20) comprises a fibrous matrix structure impregnated with a thermally-activatable adhesive material. Pressure is exerted on the electronic module (14), thereby crushing the ring (20) and positioning the module. Heat is applied to the fixing element in order to activate and polymerize the adhesive material contained therein.

Abstract: A contact terminal for terminating a coaxial cable has a first conductor member with a U-shaped connection portion to receive the conductor core of the coaxial cable; and a second conductor member, electrically insulated from the first conductor member, also having a U-shaped connection portion to receive the conductor tube or screen of the coaxial cable. The second conductor member has a wider base portion than the base portion of the first conductor member. Both U-shaped connector portions are disposed in a line and opened in the same direction to permit the connection to be made merely by laying a partially stripped end of the coaxial cable into the opened connections and folding the opened legs of the first conductor member around the conductor core of the coaxial cable and the opened legs of the second conductor member around the conductor screen of the coaxial cable.
