Abstract: A noise-absorbing device includes a substantially flat base and embossed and/or hollow elements each including at least one recess. This base reveals with the embossed and/or hollow elements, a configuration exhibiting a fractality zone of between 1 cm and 50 cm, of fractal dimension greater than 2.5 enabling the localization of the waves over the sound frequency range, in the vicinity of the elements.

Abstract: A noise-absorbing device includes a substantially flat base and embossed and/or hollow elements (1) each including at least one recess (2). This base reveals with the embossed and/or hollow elements (1), a configuration exhibiting a fractility zone of between 1 cm and 50 cm, of fractile size greater than 2.5 enabling the localization of the waves over the sound frequency range, in the vicinity of the elements (1).

Abstract: Bitumen emulsion including bituminous phase having one of pure bitumen, fluxed bitumen, and modified bitumen. The bitumen emulsion also includes an aqueous phase including water and an emulsifying agent. The bitumen emulsion further includes a breaking agent encapsulated in capsules allowing control of breaking of the bitumen emulsion, the control involving rupture of the capsules from a mechanical effect by a mechanical action produced on the bitumen emulsion. Processes of producing a bitumen emulsion. Processes of controlling breaking of a bituminous emulsion.

Abstract: Vehicle including, mounted on a chassis, a device for receiving material to be spread, a device for transferring the material towards a spreading component, a tank for binding product, a distribution bar, and a motorization assembly. The chassis includes at a rear portion, after the component for spreading the material, and mounted on rollers or balls that are rotatable independent of rolling elements mounted on a front portion, at least one of the motorization assembly, the tank and a control and transmission mechanism providing weight to the rear portion to permit the rear portion to act as a compactor.
