  • Patent number: 10141662
    Abstract: This disclosure concerns a metal clip for electrically connecting a conductive wire to a planar metal element, the metal clip having an S-shaped cross-section and being composed of three wings, a first wing and a second wing defining a first longitudinal recess allowing the metal clip to be attached to an edge of the planar metal element, the second wing and the third wing defining a second longitudinal recess. The second recess is provided with connection means for receiving the end of the conductive wire and for maintaining electrical contact between the conductive wire and the metal clip.

  • Patent number: 8406475
    Abstract: Method for analyzing berries, characterized in that: berries are arranged on an analysis plate, an image of the berries is recorded, the image consisting of pixels of at least one component of an elementary color, the contours of the berries are identified, and geometric and/or colorimetric characteristics of the berries are determined. The number of berries can then be determined, or a volume, a surface area, a surface area to volume ratio, and a characteristic concentration for each berry can be determined, in addition to an average, for all of the pixels inside the contour of a defined berry, of the values of a component of an elementary color of a component of interest. A device for implementing the method is also disclosed. The invention especially relates to viticulture and to the analysis of the maturity of the grape.

  • Patent number: 7416208
    Abstract: A gliding board, including a gliding surface that terminates in at least one raised end, the end including a peripheral zone and a central zone. The peripheral zone extends from the side of the board toward the central zone the end. This peripheral zone has a thickness, which is less than that of the central zone of the end. The peripheral zone connects to the central zone by a discontinuity that forms an inflexion. The width of the peripheral zone, measured perpendicularly to the side of the board, increases from the beginning of the end to the highest point of the end.

  • Patent number: 6794791
    Abstract: The invention concerns a machine forming a motor or generator including a stator and a rotor. The rotor is a passive rotor, consisting of two ferromagnetic discs whereof at least one is toothed. The stator includes a fixed polyphase field coil arranged in an air gap defined by the space provided between the two discs and generating a rotating magnetic field, and a field coil likewise fixed. The invention is applicable to a cylindrical rotary machine or to a machine with linear displacement.
