Abstract: An apparatus includes a printer and a laminator operating in line with said printer, and a feeding device arranged along the media path between the printer and the laminator for feeding to the laminator the media that is outputted from the printer. The feeding device includes an arrangement to cause media advance by friction, such as belts, and an arrangement for generating an air stream, such as fans, arranged facing each other such that the fans urge the media against the belts and the latter drive the media by friction. The media can be fed to the laminator with the correct angle and without skew.

Abstract: A printing apparatus comprises a printer, a laminator device and feeding means for feeding to said laminator device, in an integrated operation, media that is outputted from said printer, said laminator device comprising lamination means which cause at least one lamination film to be applied on the media, wherein the apparatus comprises means for causing the advance of a portion of media through the laminator device while maintaining inactive said lamination means, in order to perform lamination only on selected portions of the print media. The apparatus is versatile and may work most of the time in unattended operation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a nutritive agar culture medium allowing the direct identification of pathogenic bacteria of the genus Listeria, said medium comprising a chromogenic synthetic substrate specifically cleaved by the phospholipase C specific of phosphatidylinositol (PIPLC).

Abstract: The manipulator embodying the invention comprises a disk mounted rotatably about an axis by a shaft and capable of pivoting about a center of rotation with elastic return motion towards a home position, a detector which determines the angular position of the disk in relation of the axis, strain gauges detecting the orientation of the disk with respect to the center of rotation, a reversing switch for switching from an operating mode in which the data relating to the orientation of the shaft are taken into account, to an operating mode in which the data ralating to the angular position of the disk are taken into account, and a switch for validating one or other of these data. The invention applies notably to the remote control of a cursor on a screen.
