Abstract: In a method of administering a capital funding system, a first predetermined monetary sum, representing a principle amount of a bond, is accepted as a loan from a subscribing entity. A second predetermined monetary sum, representing a first portion of an interest payment for the first predetermined monetary sum, is periodically transferred to the subscribing entity, the second monetary sum. At least one service voucher is periodically transferred to the subscribing entity, the service voucher having a value representing a second portion of an interest payment for the first predetermined monetary sum and entitling a bearer to a predetermined quantity of a selected service.

Abstract: The connector comprises a series of metal contact shafts (1) spaced and bent into elbow configurations, embedded in an electrically insulating material (2) which is itself surrounded by a metal shielding (3).Electrically insulating material (2) is molded around contact shafts (1), shielding (3) is made up of two superposed metal blocks (4a) having on their contacting surfaces elbow channels (5a, 5b, 5c) taking up contact shafts (1) surrounded by electrically insulating material (2), these channels being formed so that shielding (3) is interrupted in one rectilinear part of the elbow formed by the channels, this interruption of shielding placing in contact insulating material (2) surrounding the contact shafts, without creating any empty space in zones (7a, 7b) where the shielding is interrupted.

Abstract: The invention concerns compounds of the formula I: ##STR1## in which R.sub.1 to R.sub.5 are as defined in claim 1. These compounds find their application in the treatment of pathologies involving CRF.

Abstract: A labyrinth disk includes a main stiffener placed in the middle of the rim immediately below labyrinth elements. Attachment elements are preferably in the form of a bayonet attachment system using teeth fixed on the labyrinth disk crown and teeth fixed on the rotor. Attachment by bolting may optionally be used. The disk may be utilized with turbojets, on the cooling circuit, on the upstream side of the high pressure turbine.

Abstract: The system comprises a focusing optics in the focal plane of which a linear array of photodetectors is disposed. A double prism located opposite to said photodetectors with respect to said focusing optics, is servo controlled in rotation relative to a support about its longitudinal axis perpendicular to the axis of said optics, said support being itself servo controlled in rotation about said optical axis in order to scan a space of about 2 .pi. steradians. A derotating prism aligned with said optical axis rotates about said optical axis at a speed half of that of said double prism, in order to hold the image of the target in a single direction in said focal plane, whatever the rotations of said support.

Abstract: This holder is mainly used on city streets. It has a cylindrical wall provided with a bottom closure supported by a stand adapted to be fixed onto a sidewalk or the like. The stand has a top plate on which the bottom closure rests and is transversely shiftable and rotatable relative to the same. An annular flange is spacedly fixed to the underside of the bottom closure and slidably engages the underside of the stand top plate to prevent tilting of the holder while allowing its shifting and rotation movement. The cylindrical wall of the holder is made of a sheet of rubber recycled from used tires and bent into a cylindrical shape, the sheet being maintained in said shape by an upright member, of H-shaped cross-section, defining opposite channels receiving the adjacent parallel upright edge portions of the sheet and by straps surrounding the sheet and secured to the upright member. The upright member is secured to and upstands from the bottom closure.

Abstract: A time connection network of the kind comprising p switching units having each an input buffer store and an output buffer store, and a space stage to transmit digital information in form of words or groups of n binary digits from one input buffer store toward one output buffer store at a rate of one word per digit time slot. The information signals, read in an input buffer store, are conveyed serially through the space stage together with a clock signal at the rate of the serial transmission and a rectangular signal having a period preferably of two words. The information and clock signals are then distributed in two paths by means of the rectangular signal. The information signals are de-serialized on each path and then multiplexed to an output buffer store.
