Patent number: 11922369Abstract: An automated flow management system manages a flow of raw materials and a flow of semi-finished products in order to carry out one or more processes of rubber compounding. An automated flow management process is carried out by the disclosed management system in a compounding facility for manufacturing rubber compounds.Type: GrantFiled: June 21, 2019Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventor: Cedric Astier

Patent number: 11678669Abstract: Process for conferring a protection against a pathogen upon a plant by elicitation by an aqueous composition, the active agents of which are extracted from edible fungi (parasol mushroom, pleurotus, button mushroom). An alkaline extraction is carried out, then an enzymatic hydrolysis, to obtain a fraction less than 100 kDa. The process consists in spraying the aerial parts of the plant with the composition obtained in this way; this thereby acts to combat cryptogamic diseases of plants such as vines, fruit trees, vegetable crops and cereals.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2017Date of Patent: June 20, 2023Assignee: UNIVERSITE DE LIMOGESInventors: Céline Faugeron, Vincent Gloaguen, Cédric Astier, Charlotte Moine

Patent number: 10857748Abstract: A tire production device is provided for pressure bonding products that are presented in a product profile (120) on a forming drum surface. The device includes a multidisc roller system (100) having a frame (102) relative to which a plurality of disc assemblies (104, 104?) are disposed along a common axis. Each disc assembly includes an actuatable arm 106 that is linearly displaceable relative to the frame, a pair of removably attached demi-discs (110, 110?) and a bearing (112) that accommodates rotation of the demi-discs (110). An actuator is associated with each disc assembly (104, 104?) for bringing the disc assemblies (104, 104?) into and out of contact with the product profile (120). A method is also provided for assembling tire components for the manufacture of tires.Type: GrantFiled: April 25, 2017Date of Patent: December 8, 2020Assignee: COMPAGNIE GENERALE DES ETABLISSEMENTS MICHELINInventors: Cedric Astier, Henri-Alexandre Oursaire
