Abstract: A method is provided for calling with a processor an instance of a function present within at least a first software module and required by a second software module, referred to as a calling software module. The method further includes that the calling comprises a step of obtaining a current execution context, where the current execution context depends on at least one execution situation of the calling software module, and the current execution context comprises execution data. The method also includes that the calling step comprises a step of selecting the instance of the function, from at least two available instances, depending on the execution data of the current execution context.

Abstract: A ring for fitting to a resilient support containing two metal cores interconnected by a piece of elastomer, the ring serving to limit the extent to which the cores can be moved apart accidentally. The ring is rectangular in section and is made up of a succession of alternating layers respectively constituted by tapes of elastically deformable material and by sheets of parallel threads that are strong in traction.

Abstract: A process for dismantling equipment that is buried, unsheltered, at risk of contamination and possibly is irradiating, and a vessel for implementing this process. According to the invention, buried equipment at risk of contamination, for example, an off-line effluent pipe, is dismantled in sections under cover of a movable vessel (124) placed above the section to be dismantled (12, 14). The invention also concerns a vessel (124) that has a self-supporting structure built around a deck (126) equipped with an elongated central opening (148) giving access to the section to be dismantled (12, 14).

Abstract: In order to clean a surface (A) located in a hostile medium, use is made of a bush hammer (34) mounted on a remotely controlled vehicle (32). The waste produced by the bush hammer (34) is directly collected by a collecting pipe (12) connected to an exhauster (14). Cyclone separators (22, 24), an electostatic filter (26) and absolute filters (28, 30) arranged in this order on the collecting pipe recover the waste in decreasing size order. The cyclone separators are mounted on two compartments (76, 78) formed in a vessel (80) and each equipped with devices (90, 92, 100, 102, 106, 108) making it possible to inject into the compartments a waste treatment product and to recover the same after filtering. A container (120) is also placed beneath the electrostatic filter (26).

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydraulic antivibration support designed to be interposed between two rigid elements. It comprises a working chamber and a compensating chamber separated by a rigid partition and connected permanently with one another through a throttled passage. Both of these chambers and this passage are filled with liquid. The working chamber is composed of two compartments connected to one another through a throttled annular column bounded internally and externally by two cylindrical surfaces fast respectively to the two rigid elements.

Abstract: It relates to a hydraulic antivibration support interposed between a chassis and a vehicle engine, comprising a working chamber A and a compensation chamber B filled with liquid and joined together by a throttled passage (6) constituted by a "column" in a circular arc hollowed in the annular seat (5.sub.2) of a central deformable partition (5.sub.1). To increase the number of oscillatory phenomena which can be damped in excellent manner by the "column" effect, there is provided at least one small hole (8) joining one of the chambers A to a point of the throttled passage (6).

Abstract: The invention relates to an antivibration support to be inserted between the frame and the engine of a vehicle. The support comprises two deformable chambers filled with liquid, separated by a deformable partition, and communicating with one another through a restricted passage, namely an operating chamber whose lateral wall forms a support and joins two rigid parts fixed respectively to the frame and to the engine, and a compensating chamber. When abnormally high thrusts are applied to the engine, the deformations of the wall are limited by abutment, against a ring immersed in the operating chamber and borne by the first rigid part, of a central foot fast to the second rigid part, and passing with clearance through the ring and/or of an overlapping sole terminating this foot.
