Abstract: An engine attachment for an assembly system configured to be mounted between a rigid structure of an attachment strut of an aircraft engine and an engine. The attachment includes a main body, a rudder bar on an articulated mounting on the main body by a hinge pin, and two thrust absorption rods each with one end connected to the rudder bar. The main body includes a first main brace and a second main brace superimposed on the first brace. The hinge pin is formed by a first portion and a second portion, wherein the first portion is made in one piece with the first brace and the second portion is made in one piece with the second brace. Furthermore, the braces define a stop limit surface configured to limit rotation of the rudder bar.

Abstract: This invention relates to a container having at least one inlet and/or outlet and containing at least two different solids arranged in layers as well as the use of said container for preparing a dialysate. In particular, a flexible bag is described, having three layers of different solids, where the middle layer consists of a solid which is compatible with the two adjacent layers and thus forms a separating layer between the two other layers. The layers are secured in place during shipping by vacuum packing.

Abstract: The transmitter comprises two optical sources (201, 202) simultaneously supplied with modulation current in series, whereas they are separately supplied with DC bias current. The separation between the modulating currents of the two optical sources is realized by means of inductances (214, 215, 227). A first optical source (201) receives on its anode the modulation signal coming from an input (216) and then emits the modulation signal to the second optical source (202) via a coupling capacitor (226) between the two optical sources.

Abstract: The bias current of the semiconductor laser 4 is adjusted corresponding to the amplitude of the modulation. A transmit signal is presented to the input 1, then amplified by an amplifier 2 and transmitted to the laser 4 via a blocking capacitor 3. A check photodiode 5 is optically coupled to the laser and a set of four resistors 6, 7, 8, 9 forms a bridge. A differential amplifier 10 having its inputs connected to the bridge ensures the supply of bias current through an inductance 11 intended to inhibit the passing of the modulation signal. A peak detector 12 measures the peak amplitude of the signal that drives the laser to check the conductance of a transistor 14 which operates in the variable conductance mode and is branched parallel to the branch 7 of the resistor bridge to modify the balance of the bridge and thus the value of the power transmitted by the laser.

Abstract: A device for accurately positioning wire-shaped articles. The device includes positioning means comprising two groups of pins which are parallel to each other and which are provided with grooves. The articles to be positioned are disposed in the grooves. Fixing means and elastic means are provided to keep the articles in tension in the grooves. Translation means comprise a movable block on which the articles are placed, one at a time during the positioning. Optical means are provided for accurately measuring the positions of the articles.Several methods of positioning optical fibers by means of this device yield a rigid assembly in which the optical fibers are immovably enclosed between two rigid blocks by an adhesive, by pressure or by any other means.

Abstract: A detection apparatus for receiving an input signal containing noise and for detecting the presence of voice signals therein comprises means for attenuating the input signal and a comparator of the amplitude of the attenuated input signal relative to a variable threshold voltage. This threshold voltage is generated by control means which make the threshold voltage dependent on the peak amplitude value of the input signal. A control signal corresponding to the detection of voice signals is supplied by decision means which carry out a time analysis of the output signal of the comparator.
