Abstract: The computer-implemented method of determining the intersection in space and time between an entity and an event comprises inputting, at an event computer, event data to be stored in an event database. The event data comprises event identification data, finite or infinite event duration data representing an event duration, and event geographical location data representing geographical locations, the event geographical location data being defined over time during the event duration. The method also comprises obtaining, at a server, entity data that comprises entity identification data, finite or infinite entity duration data representing an entity duration, and entity geographical location data representing a geographical location, the entity geographical data being defined over time during the entity duration.

Abstract: The present invention provides a tool being used to crimp a ring onto a pipe joint, which includes two half-die members having each bore openings and a recess formed at their rear end portion for receiving a body member to be connected therewith by dowell pins, and further at their front end portion is formed a recess for receiving a threaded rod coupled to a clamp bolt. The threaded rod is engaged therein a threaded bore formed thereon a bushing passing through two bores located thereof each side of the lower half-die member. The clamp bolt is blocked therein the bushing by a spring pin to be engaged therethrough a hole formed therewith and through a hole formed therein the threaded rod. Further, the both half-die members are disposed in alignment with the bore openings for receiving the ring that is crimped onto the pipe joint by the use of a handle having at each end portion a notch to prevent the handle to be pulled out of the clamp bolt.

Abstract: A detector of pulses of electromagnetic radiation, especially of laser pulses, comprising as sensor at least one cylindrical body of material translucent to the electromagnetic radiation having a capture window on its surface of revolution. The cylindrical body is provided with an internal metallization delimiting the cylindrical body in two parts subject to selective photodetection, to obtain a sensitivity in bearing and/or in elevation. The body is extended at one end by a non-diffusing transparent part, likewise traversed by the internal metallization. The extension is externally metallized and serves for the link with photodetectors.
