  • Patent number: 11678669
    Abstract: 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.

  • Patent number: 10857748
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20170144398
    Abstract: A process for molding a tire elastomeric thermoplastic composite comprises a stage in which a layer of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is applied against one of the faces of the composite, followed by a molding stage for vulcanization of the composite and crosslinking of the layer of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) with the neighboring layer of rubber material. The process furthermore comprises a stage consisting in applying a nonstick protective layer (12) against the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) face intended to be in contact with the mold.
