Abstract: An aircraft floor, and aircraft section provided with such a floor, and the utilization of such a floor in an aircraft section. The aircraft floor generally includes at least one central rail firmly mounted on a rigid structure of the aircraft, at least two lateral rails positioned on both sides of the central rail, and floor panels. Each lateral rail is connected vertically to the structure of the aircraft through a vertical connecting rod, each lateral rail being transversely free. Each floor panel is positioned between two adjacent rails, so that the transverse forces to which the lateral rails are subjected pass through the floor panels to the central rail.

Abstract: The invention relates to a multi-level optical recording medium for a read/write system using a laser beam, comprising at least one substrate (4a, 4b) and a set of layers forming a deep level (12), and at least one semi-transparent level (10), each of these levels having two stable states reversible under the effect of laser radiation,

Abstract: The invention relates to a multilayer stack of fluoride materials usable in optics and its production process.This stack is constituted by alternating layers of a first, high index, fluoride material such as YF.sub.3 and a second, low index fluoride material such as LiF, able to form together a specific, stable compound such as YLiF.sub.4, so that the interface between two adjacent layers of the stack is at least partly formed from said compound.

Abstract: The invention relates to a microwave antenna having at least one tubular portion with a central axis, and magnets which are located within the tubular portion along the central axis. The magnets generate a magnetic field in the vicinity of the antenna, with each end of each magnet facing an end having the same polarity of an immediately adjacent magnet. This type of antenna is used in the manufacture of microtips on large surfaces.

Abstract: Method for preparing a magneto optic memory comprising on a support (22), such as one made of glass, metal or a plastic material, a planar sensitive film (21) of magneto optic material for receiving at each point the recording of one of the two binary digits 0 and 1 in the form of small domains juxtaposed and magnetized perpendicular to the plane of the film in one of the two possible directions with respect to the latter, the sensitive film (21) being deposited by a cathodic or other evporation process of a magentic oxide selected from the group including spinel ferrites, hexaferrites and ferrimagnetic garnets, the preceding deposition being followed by a crystallization of the amorphous regions of said film with the aid of an annealing, wherein at least one reflective film (28) and/or one film constituting a thermal screen is inserted between the support (22) and the sensitive film (21) and wherein the annealing is a fast annealing, namely of a few seconds at a temperature of between 600.degree. C. and 650.

Abstract: A heat transmission apparatus is formed between a thermal source (12) and an object (21) in a vacuum enclosure (1) by placing in a cavity defined by a heat emission wall (20) and the object (21), a granular material (30) which adapts to the thermal expansions, while permitting heating by conductivity under very good conditions.Possible application to the manufacture of semiconductors and the crystallization of thin films.
