Publication number: 20220349507Abstract: Connecting device (1), comprising: •—a bush (2), •—an end piece (6) which can be inserted into the bush (2) and is provided with a collar (7), •—a locking device (8) comprising an annular lock (9) which is radially movable inside the bush (2) and a return member (10) for returning the lock (9) to a locked position for retaining the collar (7) of the end piece (6) beyond the lock (9), •—a visual locking indicator (11) which is radially movable between an extended position of the bush (2) and a retracted position and is provided with tabs (12) for returning to the extended position. When the collar (7) of the end piece (6) is inserted beyond the lock (9), the indicator (11), which has the shape of a ring (110), surrounds the collar (7) of the end piece (6) retaining the indicator (11) in the retracted position and the tabs (12) for returning the indicator (11) are axially offset from the ring (110) with respect to direction of insertion of the end piece (6) in the bush (2).Type: ApplicationFiled: August 20, 2020Publication date: November 3, 2022Inventors: Ghislain GAUDIAU, Luc N'KAOUA

Patent number: 11379279Abstract: An intercept library of a network device may detect a socket system call from an application associated with a user space of the network device. The intercept library may be associated with the user space, and the socket system call may be addressed to a kernel associated with the network device. The intercept library may generate an intercept socket based on the socket system call, and may detect a subscription for asynchronous network state information, wherein the subscription may be generated by the application. The intercept library may provide the subscription to a service daemon via the intercept socket.Type: GrantFiled: March 25, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Juniper Networks, Inc.Inventors: Amit Kumar Rao, Luc N. Bazinet

Patent number: 11067426Abstract: A tank (1) of electrically conductive liquid (12) comprising an enclosure (2) for storage of the liquid (12) delimited by at least one wall (13), a capacitive sensor (5) for measuring the liquid level inside said enclosure (2), and a device (6) for processing the output signal of the sensor (5) outside of the enclosure (2) comprising, in order to form a capacitor, a dielectric (11) and a first frame (10) electrically connectable to a source (18) for supplying power and to the processing device. The first frame (10) is arranged outside the enclosure (2), the dielectric (11) can be at least partially interposed between said first frame (10) and the electrically conductive liquid (12) and the dielectric (11) is formed by at least one part (131) of the wall (13) delimiting the enclosure (2) suitable for coming into contact with the electrically conductive liquid (12) contained inside the enclosure (2).Type: GrantFiled: June 7, 2018Date of Patent: July 20, 2021Assignee: TRISTONE FLOWTECH SOLUTIONS (TFS)Inventors: Ghislain Gaudiau, Louis-Philippe Le Poul, Luc N'Kaoua, Xavier Hermange

Patent number: 5002016Abstract: A device for the collection of eggs includes a number of egg conveyor belts lying above one another, an egg discharge belt and a device disposed between the egg conveyor belts and the egg discharge belt for transferring eggs from the egg conveyor belts to the egg discharge belt. The transfer device includes an essentially vertically arranged endless egg conveyor which at the top and bottom thereof is guided over reversing mechanisms. The egg conveyor has a first part which can move up past the ends of egg conveyor belts, and a second part which can move down past the egg discharge belt.The egg conveyor is provided with egg accommodation elements disposed abutting one after the other in the lengthwise direction of the egg conveyor, the egg accommodation elements being essentially U-shaped, when viewed in the transverse direction of the egg conveyor, and open towards the outside, and extending over the width of the egg conveyor.Type: GrantFiled: November 13, 1989Date of Patent: March 26, 1991Assignee: Elite N.V.Inventor: Luc N. de Vrieze
