  • Publication number: 20220061933
    Abstract: The robotized module for actuating an elongated flexible medical device comprises a pair of actuation members that are either in an actuation configuration or in a free configuration. The pair of actuation members is movable between a first position and a second position. A control member acts in repeated cyclical manner to cause the actuation member, when in the actuation configuration, to move from the first position to the second position, and when in the free configuration, to move from the second position to the first position.

  • Patent number: 6513384
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for measuring the lift of a transport infrastructure road level and industrial floors. The apparatus comprises a wheel borne by a chassis pivotally mounted on a trailer towed by a vehicle. An unbalanced member causes the wheel to vibrate. The vertical acceleration of the chassis and of the wheel and the angle of the centrifugal force of the unbalanced member with the vertical, are continuously measured. The total force applied by the wheel, the chassis and the unbalanced member is calculated from the measurements of the accelerations, as is the deflection of the road level by double integration of the acceleration of the wheel.
