  • Publication number: 20230003176
    Abstract: A method for manufacturing an alveolar core structure includes at least one cell including a secondary duct having a first end defining a sound wave inlet, and an opposite second end, the secondary duct comprising a sound wave outlet. The method also includes a fastening step in which adhesive tapes transverse to the longitudinal direction of said first plate are applied on a first longitudinal plate. The secondary duct in the form of a flattened element is fastened, on the first plate, by gluing at its sound wave inlet. A second plate is applied. A step of deploying the first and second plates so as to form the peripheral wall of the cells and so that the flattened element is deployed.

  • Patent number: 3959140
    Abstract: The invention relates to an improved cleansable filter intended for filtering natural water for the irrigation of cultivated fields. The filter comprises a cylindrical body, a filtering element mounted inside said body and defining in the interior two concentric chambers, one communicating with the exterior through a drainage valve, and also through one of two lateral openings in the body. The other annular chamber encloses the first chamber and communicates with the exterior through the other lateral opening. The filter also comprises a brush mounted coaxially in said first chamber, said brush being rotatable manually or automatically from the exterior of the filter, and removing all foreign bodies from the inner wall of said first chamber. The liquid to be filtered enters the annular chamber through a lateral opening, passes into the first cylindrical chamber and through the filtering elements from the interior to the exterior, and leaves by the second lateral opening.
