Abstract: A device and method for checking an integrity of a glue joint that connects one portion of a body box and a body skin are provided. The body box and body skin connected by the glue joint define an inner volume therebetween. The method includes arranging at least one ultrasound sensing device in the inner volume; emitting a pressurized directional air jet opposite a predetermined area of the glue joint; recording a noise level detected by the ultrasound sensing device in the inner volume; and determining an integrity defect in the glue joint according to the recorded noise level.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method for checking the integrity of a glue joint which is to be checked and which connects one portion of a body box and a body skin, which define an inner volume therebetween. The method includes: arranging at least one ultrasound sensing device in the inner volume; emitting a pressurized directional air jet opposite a predetermined area of the glue joint; recording a noise level detected by the ultrasound sensing device in the inner volume; and determining an integrity defect in the glue joint according to the recorded noise level.

Abstract: The invention particularly relates to a method of applying a permanent coating to a plastic surface of a first part, comprising the following steps: applying to said plastic surface a layer of a polyamide-based hot-melt material, maintaining this layer of hot-melt material on said plastic surface for a period of time ranging from a few minutes to several hours, removing this layer of hot-melt material from this plastic surface; and applying a permanent coating to said surface, said permanent coating being based on polyurethane, an epoxy resin or polyesters, a polycarbonate and/or an acrylic resin; as well as the use of such a method in the automotive industry.

Abstract: An installation for producing electrical energy and a control method of such an installation are described. The installation includes an energy storage. The installation includes an electrical energy generator that connects to a distribution network and the energy storage. The installation also includes a controller controlling the operation of the energy storage and the connection of the energy storage to the electrical energy generator and the network. The controller receives a set of information from the network or, energy storage, and the electrical energy generator, and from the network manager to control the supply of the electrical energy generator and a set of auxiliary equipment of the installation from the energy storage in the event of power failure.

Abstract: An electricity generating installation includes an electricity generation unit of a gas turbine, steam turbine or combined-cycle type, wherein the electricity generation unit is coupled to a generator and is connected to a distribution network, an energy storage unit configured to store kinetic energy and electrical energy, and a standby electricity generation unit. The installation further includes a controller configured to manage the operation of the energy storage unit and configured to manage the connection of the energy storage unit to the electricity generation unit and to the network. The controller receives a series of information originating from the network, the energy storage unit, the electricity generation unit and a network operator in order to control the generation of electricity to be delivered to the network and to auxiliary systems of the installation from the energy storage unit.
