Abstract: A device for adjusting the release threshold of a binding, comprising a threaded rod (2) and an end stop which is movable in translation on this threaded rod (2), wherein it comprises a planet wheel (1) with teeth (5) able to be activated by the corresponding teeth (7) of a tool (6) in order to move the end stop in translation along the threaded rod (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to a snowboard binding including a baseplate and at least one strap formed from at least one strap part articulated relative to one side of the baseplate, capable of interacting with fastening mechanisin connected on the other side of the baseplate in order to allow gripping of the user's boot in the binding. This binding is defined in that each strap part has two stable equilibrium positions, namely an open position in which the strap part is released from the front of the binding and a closed position in which the strap part is folded down over the front of the binding in order to interact with the fastening mechanism, the articulation of the strap part relative to the binding being arranged in order that, between these two positions, the strap part is displaced automatically toward one of the two stable positions.

Abstract: A binding for a snowboard includes a baseplate and at least one strap formed of strap parts that are each articulated relative to a side of the baseplate and that interact with one another in order to ensure the gripping of the strap over a boot. The strap parts are formed by curved rigid parts, the ends of which come from opposite directions toward one another, and one of the strap parts is equipped with an articulated lever allowing the displacement of a hooked zone capable of interacting with a notched zone formed on the upper face of the opposite strap part.

Abstract: A binding for a sports boot on a gliding board, comprising a base intended to be fixed on a gliding board, means for binding the boot and a rear stop or spoiler, wherein, on each lateral part of the base (1), the spoiler (3) is on the one hand mounted so as to move about a pin (4) mounted so as to move relative to the base (1) and on the other hand connected to the base (1) by a second means for guiding its movement relative to the base (1).

Abstract: A boot retaining device for use with a snowboard includes a plate equipped with straps for retaining an associated boot. A pivot body is located at a central region of the plate. The pivot body retains the plate on the board and includes a central screw or central nut. A support base is attached to the board. The support base includes threading configured for threadably engaging the central screw or nut of the pivot body. The pivot body includes a downwardly open housing which receives the support base. The threaded stem of the central screw or the threaded portion of the central nut projects downward into the housing. A length of the threaded stem of the central screw or the threaded portion of the central nut is less than or equal to a depth of the housing.

Abstract: A snowboard binding (1) that includes a part (10) that can move relative to a fixed part (2) and a manually actuated mechanism (20) for adjusting the position of and immobilizing the moveable part (10) relative to the fixed part (2), wherein said mechanism includes an operating lever (30), that is integral with the fixed part (2), and a retractable locking piece (25) that is capable of moving through the effect of the movement of the lever (30), between a position in which it is caught in a housing (15) chosen from a plurality of housings produced in the moveable part (10), and a position in which it is retracted, thus allowing the moveable part (10) to move relative to the fixed part (2).

Abstract: A snowboard binding (1), including a base plate (2) equipped on at least one of its front (12) and/or rear ends with a rigid plate (10), the upper face (11) of which is tilted upward and designed to receive the forces from the front and/or rear zones of the boot:

Abstract: A snowboarding boot includes a sole assembly having an outsole with a the lower face for contacting a ground surface and a reinforcing piece. Further included is a transverse plate for interaction with complementary arrangements of a binding. The plate is mechanically integrated with the sole assembly. An elastic element is interposed between the plate and the sole assembly. The element is deformable to allow lateral deflection of the boot relative to the binding.

Abstract: Retention Device (2, 2a, 2b) of a boot on a sliding board (1) comprising:

Abstract: An integrated circuit is characterized in that circuit parts contained therein are connected to one another via an interface containing at least one scan register chain. The at least one scan register chain is configured such that data can be input into the scan register chain either via the output terminals of one of the circuit parts or via the input and/or output terminals of the integrated circuit. In addition, data can be output from the scan register chain either at the input terminals of one of the circuit parts or at the input and/or output terminals of the integrated circuit.

Abstract: Orally active compounds of general formula (I) wherein R1 is methyl, ethyl or 2-morpholino-ethyl group, R2 is piperidino, morpholino or 4-methyl-piperazinyl group, n is 2 or 3 and their salts, solvates and hydrates.

Abstract: Snowboarding boot comprising

Abstract: The invention relates to methods for measuring cholesterol of various fractions of seric lipoproteins, the methods comprising the separation of said fractions of lipoproteins by means of a lectin capable of precipitating the LDL and VLDL fractions, then measuring the amount of cholesterol in the precipitate and in the remaining solution.
