Abstract: Electrical charging station that includes the following: A first socket to deliver electrical power to an electric vehicle. A casing to be fastened to the ground or to a wall. A holder in which the first socket is fastened or integrated. The holder is movable with respect to the casing between a protected position and an exposed position, in which positions access to the first socket, from outside the casing, is prevented and permitted. Structure to drive the holder between the protected and exposed positions. A control module for controlling the driving structure. The casing includes an aperture that is blocked in the protected position and that defines an access to the first socket in the exposed position. The holder is movable in the casing between the protected and exposed positions. The holder is arranged so as to block the aperture in the exposed position.

Abstract: Method for exploiting a network of electrical charging stations for motor vehicles. The method includes (a) a step in which a station is reserved via a reservation center and the center transmits to the vehicle a response comprising access data providing access to the station, and (b) a step in which, when the vehicle is less than 100 meters from the station, the vehicle requests access to the station and the station provides access to the electrical power available via a socket of the station. In step (b), the communication between the vehicle and the station is a local electromagnetic communication, preferably at a frequency comprised between 2400 and 2500 MHz.

Abstract: A feed roll spike for mounting to a surface, i.e. the outer surface of a feed roller of a harvester head or a debarking machine. The feed roll spike comprises a substantially truncated cone shape base having a top side, a bottom side and an axis; and evenly-spaced identical projections extending upwardly from the top side of the base. The space between the projections defines channels.

Abstract: The present document describes a removable brake for a debarker arm having a working end with a debarking tool configured to remove bark from a log, the removable brake comprising a main body; a mounting surface for removably mounting the main body on the debarker arm; a leading edge on one end of the main body for causing the debarker arm to move from an inner position toward an outer position when the leading edge of the main body engages an end face of the log moving along a processing line toward the leading edge; and a brake portion on another end of the main body for increasing the resistance offered against the debarker arm while debarking the log.

Abstract: This electric motor vehicle parking installation comprises a tower above ground and includes vehicle parking places and at least one vehicle entry and/or exit area. The tower includes a pair of contiguous coaxial helical ramps (2, 3) of identical pitch, comprising a first ramp (2) dedicated to parking vehicles and a fixed second ramp (3), the first ramp being mobile vertically and in rotation relative to the second ramp.

Abstract: Contactless reading device (10, 20) comprising transmission-reception means (11), and a power supply circuit (12) for the transmission-reception means (11), characterized in that the power supply circuit (12) comprises a magnetic contactor (13, 23) having a nominal open position preventing the powering of the transmission-reception means (11) and a closed position enabling the powering of the transmission-reception means (11), the magnetic contactor (13, 23) being in the closed position when an identification card (1) according to one of claims 1 to 3 nears the reading device (10, 20).

Abstract: The present invention relates to the diagnosis of the distinction between acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and prognosis of AML. Disclosed is a means to diagnose the distinction between ALL and AML employing measurement of the abundance of the nucleic acid or protein products of small combinations (two, three or more) of particular human genes. The invention further describes the use of the measurement of the abundance of the nucleic acid or protein product of two human genes for prognostic indication in AML. The invention also relates to therapies targeted at these indicator genes, and the screening of drugs for cancer that target these indicator genes or their protein products.
