  • Method and device for visually scaring animal species, in particular bird species
    Patent number: 10405536
    Abstract: A device for visually scaring animal species, in particular bird species includes means for generating at least one visual signal including at least one image, varying in size over time, which simulates approach via an increase in the size of the image. For example, the visual signal includes one of the following images: eyes, a disc, and a spiral.

  • Flapping-wing flying vehicle
    Patent number: 8333342
    Abstract: The invention relates to a flapping-wing flying vehicle, the vehicle including a frame having two pivots mounted thereon to pivot about two parallel hinge axes (X), each pivot carrying a respective wing, the vehicle including a first oscillation generator for causing the pivots to oscillate in order to cause the wings to flap, said first oscillation generator comprising: two arms (6), each secured to a respective pivot (2); two cranks (9), each hinged to the end of a respective one of the arms about respective axes (X1) parallel to the hinge axes (X) of the pivots; a connecting rod (10) hinged to the ends of the two cranks about axes (X2) parallel to the hinge axes (X) of the pivots; synchronization means (4) for synchronizing the rotation of the two pivots such that the rotations of the pivots are equal and opposite; two electric motors (7), each placed to cause one of the cranks to rotate relative to the associated arm; and control means (50) for controlling and synchronizing the speeds of rotation of the m
