Abstract: A cutting tool for cutting a corner of a cardboard box is provided. The cutting tool includes a guide member having a handle and a guide extending forwardly from the handle. The guide has a pair of guiding wings adapted to engage the cardboard box to position the cutting tool relative to the corner. The cutting tool also includes a cutting element operatively connected to the guide and extending between the guiding wings. The cutting element is adapted to cut the corner of the box via a downward movement of the guide member along the corner of the box. The cutting tool also includes a cut-stopping system connected to the guide member, the cut-stopping system being adapted to contact a working surface, therefore blocking the downward movement of the guide member and limiting the length of the cut.

Abstract: There is provided a basket assembly for making a basket, as well as a blank for making the basket assembly. A support sheet is mounted along a bottom wall of a container portion of the basket, either inside or outside of the container, providing a multi-layered assembly. The innermost layer of the support sheet and the container portion define a cut-out portion corresponding to a handle for the basket, which is nested in the innermost layer of the multi-layered assembly. The handle portion has opposing ends which are mounted to the container and side edges which are separable from the innermost layer, allowing to lift the nested handle away from the bottom of the container and to draw it out to provide the basket with a handle. The gap appearing in the innermost layer is covered by the outer layer of the multi-layered assembly.

Abstract: The present document describes an amusement vehicle for interacting with at least another amusement vehicle in an amusement environment, the amusement vehicle comprising: a chassis; a set of wheels for rotatably supporting the chassis on a ground surface; a motor mounted on the chassis for propelling the chassis on the ground surface; a controller operably connected to the motor for controlling the motor; and at least one of: a receiver mounted on the chassis for receiving a first directional signal of the at least another amusement vehicle only when the at least another amusement vehicle is in substantial alignment with the receiver; and a transmitter mounted on the chassis for transmitting a second directional signal to one of the at least another amusement vehicle in substantial alignment with the transmitter; the controller being at least one of: operably connected to the receiver and being configured to decode the first signal for controlling the motor in accordance with instructions included in the firs

Abstract: A method is disclosed for evaluating the vestibular function in a human subject. The subject is constrained in a substantially erect position so that the head moves in unison with the rest of the body. A controlled stimulus in the form of a sudden angular acceleration is imparted to the body, and the subject's ocular response to the controlled stimulus is measured. The vestibular function is evaluated from the ocular response and the angular velocity of the head.

Abstract: Process for piloting an aircraft in order to improve a microgravity state and the corresponding system.Instead of supplying the pilot with an information linked with the instantaneous position of the equipment in free floating form (M), he is supplied with an information relative to the anticipated position of said equipment.Application to microgravity studies.
