Abstract: A multifunctional lifting vehicle includes: a base frame, a lifting assembly including an operating arm equipped with an attachment for mounting a tool, a control system of the lifting assembly, having an electronic control unit and sensors arranged to acquire vehicle stability data, including a position of the arm with respect to the frame and an amount of load lifted by the tool, a vision system mounted on the frame, having a camera to acquire images and detect events occurring outside the vehicle, and a detection device to measure an object's distance outside the vehicle, detected by the camera, and a mixed-reality viewing device of a head-up display type with video, operationally connected to the control unit for generating, on the basis of data acquired by the vision system, three-dimensional information on the surrounding environment which assists in driving and managing the lifted load.

Abstract: A multifunctional lifting vehicle includes a base frame, a lifting assembly including at least one operating arm equipped with an attachment for mounting a tool, a drive system for activating said lifting assembly, and a control system associated with said drive system. The control system includes an electronic control unit operatively connected to a plurality of sensors arranged to acquire a plurality of vehicle stability data, including a position of the arm with respect to the base frame and a mass of a lifted load. The vehicle further includes a smart display device operatively connected to said electronic control unit to display a load diagram of the vehicle.

Abstract: A prosthesis for splinting or replacing a rib, characterized in that it comprises a piece curved in the longitudinal direction and in the transverse sense, which defines a concave face and a convex face, said prosthesis having a warping on its longitudinal axis and two or more transverse grooves on its convex face to support the means for fixing the ribs. The prosthesis may eventually contain a line of radiopaque material that facilitates its radiological visibility.

Abstract: Dryer/cooler (2) for oil bearing vegetable matter meal is provided wherein the dryer/cooler (2) has a cooling zone (22) and a drying zone (24) separated by a double bottom air plenum (28). The first surface (100) of the air plenum comprises a plurality of countersink bores (102) each receiving a slotted disc member (104) therein to provide open communication between the air plenum (26, 28) and one of the cooling or drying zones (22, 24).

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for the transfer between a solid matter and a liquid, comprising an outer drum (1) and a perforated inner drum (2), means (4-5) for commonly rotating the drums (1 and 2), and means (18) situated inside the inner drum (2) for moving the solid matter (10). In between the two drums (1 and 2), a number of troughs (21) are formed which, during the rotation of the drums (1 and 2), bring up liquid (8) and pour it out higher up through the inner drum (2). Along the front rim of each trough (21), the drum (2) is provided with a drain opening (23), opposite to which means (24;26) are provided for preventing, when the drain opening (23), during the rotation of the drums (1-2), is at the bottom, the penetration of solid matter (10) through said opening.
