Abstract: A device for visually inspecting the external surfaces of an aircraft includes an inspection area to receive an aircraft, at least one visual inspection robot, and a control center. A movable platform of the robot supports a turret having an observation unit. The robot includes a processing unit which guides the movable platform and process the data received from the observation unit. The processing unit of the robot are configured to autonomously control the robot during the visual inspection of the external surfaces of the aircraft parked in the inspection area; to interrupt a visual inspection in the event of a detection of an anomaly on the external surface of the aircraft; to transmit a visual inspection data to the control center; and to receive instructions from the control center.

Abstract: An ultrasonic probe for contact measurement of an object and its manufacturing process. The ultrasonic probe has ultrasonic sensors securely fastened to a first face of a substrate. The opposite face of the substrate defines a measurement surface having a shape that is the imprint of the surface of the object to be measured to closely follow the latter when the surface of the object is brought into contact with the measurement surface.

Abstract: The invention consists of a system allowing remote wireless transfer of energy from a base station to a moving object, in particular a drone, moving in a given zone around the base station. The system includes means for tracking the moving object relative to the base station at any time, means for transmitting a synthetic acoustic wave focused in the direction of the moving object, these two means being located at the base station and powered by the base station, and acoustic reception means, located on the moving object, for receiving the acoustic wave transmitted by the base station and converting the received acoustic wave into an electrical signal and then into a power supply voltage for a battery.

Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasound probe for contact measurement of an object and its manufacturing process. According to the invention, this ultrasound probe comprises ultrasound sensors securely fastened to a first face (12) of a substrate (10), the opposite face (11) of said substrate (10) defining a measurement surface, said measurement surface having a shape that is the imprint of the surface of the object to be measured so as to closely follow the latter when the surface of the object is brought into contact with said measurement surface.
