  • Patent number: 8006410
    Abstract: The invention relates to a shoe, especially for sport or leisure, comprising an upper, a sole and a lacing device having at least one clamping strip passing through a space arranged at the level of the sole and a clamping element. The clamping element is attached, on the one hand, to a first end of the clamping strip and, on the other hand, to a holding zone placed at the rear of the shoe. The second end of the clamping strip, passing through the clamping element comprises an attachment device on the upper, allowing the fixing of the strip. Cooperation exists between the clamping strip, the clamping element and the holding zone causing tensing of the upper at the level of the instep and the articulation above the heel.

  • Publication number: 20110174082
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method of measuring the flow rate of an electrically conductive liquid in laminar flow and to an implementation measurement device that are easy to implement, simple to produce and compact. For this purpose, the invention provides a device for measuring the flow rate, comprising: a channel (1); a pair of electrodes (2a-2b); and at least one device (3) for measuring the voltage (V) between the electrodes (2a-2b) of said pair, an electrical double layer forming at the interface of each electrode with the conducting liquid. The device comprises means (4, 5) designed so that, when the conducting liquid is flowing through the channel, the flow velocity fields in the diffuse layers facing each electrode are different and so that the convective/diffusive charge equilibria of the electrical double layer at the interface of each electrode are different.

  • Publication number: 20100000620
    Abstract: The invention concerns a microfluidic liquid-movement device. The movement device according to the invention comprises a microchannel (10) provided with an opening (11B) onto the environment, the microchannel (10) being filled with a first liquid (F1) and a second liquid (F3), the two liquids being separated by a separating fluid (F2). Injection of the second liquid (F3) through the opening (11B) is obtained by movement of the first liquid (F1) by electrowetting.

  • Publication number: 20100000866
    Abstract: The invention concerns a microfluidic device for the controlled movement of liquid. The controlled-movement device according to the invention comprises a microchannel (10) filled with a first liquid (F1) and a fluid (F2) forming a first interface (I1) with the first liquid (F1), or forming a first interface (I1) with the first liquid (F1) and a second interface (I3) with a second liquid (F3) situated downstream of said fluid (F2), and means of moving the first liquid (F1) by electrowetting. A control system is provided for controlling the movement of the first liquid (F1) according to the position of an interface (I1, I3) of the fluid (F2).

  • Publication number: 20090134009
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for displacing a volume of liquid (1) under the action of an electrical voltage, comprising: iv) a first substrate with a first electrode (4,5); v) a second substrate with a second electrode (4, 5) facing the first substrate; vi) means for applying a first voltage (3) between the first and the second electrode, one of the two electrodes comprising, in essence, a matrix (5) consisting of a number of microelectrodes and having means for applying a second voltage between two microelectrodes. The invention also relates to a method for displacing a volume of liquid (1).
