  • Patent number: 9758338
    Abstract: A sheet folding apparatus for folding sheets comprising a curved conveyance path along which the sheets are moved successively in first and second opposite directions, the curved conveyance path being such that the sheets cannot naturally register to reach a folding position by simple effect of gravity, wherein to register the sheets before to fold them transport rollers having loaded the sheets in the first direction moves back in the second opposite direction for compressing the sheets against an adjustable low stop member to generate an elastic deformation of the sheets sufficient to compensate friction in the curved conveyance path and automatically register the sheets.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 9692129
    Abstract: A planar antenna comprising: a substrate (10) having opposed first (10A) and second (10B) flat faces; the first flat face comprising a first ground (12), a second ground (14), a feed track (16) there between and an antenna pattern (18) and the opposed second flat face comprising a third ground (20); the third ground being connected to first and second grounds for assuring the continuity of the ground plane with the feeding; and the antenna pattern forms a coil line disposed into the remaining surface of the first flat face and comprises two overlapped loops in such a way that the antenna pattern is substantially auto-complementary.

  • Patent number: 8517166
    Abstract: A mailpiece selector device including at least a first guide that is mounted above a support plate for supporting mailpieces, and that is made up of a plurality of moving shoes for selecting the mailpieces one-by-one and for transporting them downstream along a referencing wall, at least one of the moving shoes having a varying coefficient of adhesion that increases going towards the support plate, the top portion of the moving shoe having a low coefficient of adhesion and the bottom portion having a high coefficient of adhesion.
