Abstract: A furniture element forming a table (1) including a base box (2) and several coplanar main plates mobile in circular translation in a common plane. A mechanism (4) enables synchronized displacement in the common plane, wherein the plates (3) can assume at least two relative configurations, one in which they combine to form a full plate, the other in which the plates jointly define a central space 51. A mobile central plate (5) can be displaced according to an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the main plates (3), to move from a low position in which the central plate (5) is retracted by the main plates (3) to a high position in which it is placed in the plane of the main plates (3) at the level of the central space (51), forming a full plate with the main plates (3).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a furniture element forming a table (1) comprising a base box (2) and several coplanar main plates mobile in circular translation in their common plane, a mechanism (4) enabling their synchronised displacement in their common plane, said plates (3) which can assume at least two relative configurations, one in which they combine to form a full plate, the other in which the plate which they jointly define comprises a central space 51, comprising a mobile central plate (5) which can be displaced according to an axis perpendicular to the plane defined by the main plates (3), to move from a low position in which said central plate (5) is retracted by the main plates (3) to a high position in which it is placed in the plane of said main plates (3) at the level of the central space (51), forming a full plate with the main plates (3).

Abstract: A module is provided for installation in a drive bay of a computer and is adapted to accommodate expansion circuitry rather than the electromechanical devices conventionally installed in drive bays. A system interface board is provided for insertion into an expansion socket on the computer's motherboard and is connected to the module, thus interfacing the expansion circuitry to the computer. The expansion circuitry can be greater in volume and is more accessible and more easily cooled than expansion circuitry installed in expansion sockets on the motherboard.

Abstract: An emergency call system includes an emergency call device capable of accessing at least a wireless telecommunication network by means of a communication apparatus. A server processes the emergency call coming from an emergency call device via the communication apparatus. The invention is applicable to emergency call systems in case of health accidents, assaults, accidents and the like. The emergency call device can be a smart card.

Abstract: A masking device (10, 100, 31, 80) for preventing remote exchange of data between a reader and a contactless object (21, 121, 41, 81) equipped with a radiofrequency device, the radiofrequency device including an antenna (22, 122, 42, 70) and a chip (24, 124, 44, 84) connected together.

Abstract: A rotary growing apparatus comprises a cylindrical structure or drum provided with a series of parallel elongated, longitudinally extending, baskets adapted to receive therein the plants to be grown. A support base is provided for the drum, and a drive mechanism is adapted to rotate the drum on the support base about a rotational axis of the drum. At least one light source extends inside the drum about which the drum and the plants carried thereby can rotate. A feeding system provides nutrient fluid to the growing plants as the drum rotates and the baskets contact the nutrient fluid. The elongated baskets each include a bottom wall and a pair of side walls and are capable of receiving therein a series of plants supported by a growing medium. The elongated baskets define in the bottom and side walls thereof a plurality of apertures for allowing the nutrient fluid to access the plants. The elongated baskets are removably attached to a pair of parallel and opposed rims of the drum.
