Abstract: The invention relates to a water distribution device for a shower installation. The distribution device is of the hand-held shower head type or of the overhead shower head type. The distribution device includes a distribution head configured to be connected to a water supply line. The head includes a first group of water ejection nozzles arranged on a first face of the head, and a second group of water ejection nozzles arranged on a second face of the head. The second group of nozzles is oriented so that when the distribution device is in a position of use allowing a jet of water expelled by the first group of nozzles to be oriented downwards and forwards, the jet of water expelled by the second group of nozzles is oriented upwards and forwards, so as to generate a bell-shaped jet.

Abstract: A database system includes an original data source storing pieces of original data and a cache source storing pieces of cached data, each associated with an accuracy value. A method of processing queries in the system includes: for each randomly selected client query, retrieving a first piece of cached data matching the query, and retrieving a first piece of original data matching the query; for non-selected client queries, retrieving a second piece of cached data matching the query; evaluating the accuracy value of the second piece of cached data; if the accuracy value is below a given threshold, retrieving a second piece of original data matching the query, and updating the second piece of cached data by the second piece of original data; and adapting a probabilistic model based on the first piece of cached data and the first piece of original data using a machine learning algorithm.

Abstract: Diffusion device intended to accept a flanged capsule containing a product that is to be diffused comprising a body, a bearing surface borne by the body directly or indirectly, an outlet passage for letting product out of the capsule, a knob mounted with the ability to rotate on the body, the knob comprising an upper part projecting axially beyond the bearing surface, the knob and the bearing surface being mounted with the capacity for helicoidal rotation relative to one another, a closure movement of the knob being able to bring the lower face of a rim of the device to face the bearing surface, the closure movement of the knob comprising a rotational movement of the knob with respect to the body causing a helicoidal movement between the knob and the bearing surface that is able to bring a lower face of the rim and the bearing surface closer together.

Abstract: A juvenile vehicle seat includes a squab (i.e. base) on which a child may sit when the squab is placed on a passenger seat in a vehicle. The orientation of the squab relative to the passenger seat may be varied at the option of a caregiver.

Abstract: A juvenile vehicle seat includes a seat bottom and a seatback. The juvenile vehicle seat also includes a child-restraint harness coupled to the seat bottom and seatback to restrain a juvenile seated on the seat bottom.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a hybrid socket for a single-filament or dual-filament bulb consisting of a body made of an insulating material, exhibiting a front cavity for introducing the bulb, of substantially rectangular shape, complementary to the exterior shape of the base. It comprises at least one stopper of complementary cross section to that of the cavity of circular cross section, each traversed by a supply wire crimped onto a metallic contact of a first type, and a third stopper of complementary cross section to that of the cavity of oblong cross section, crimped onto an earth metallic contact. The socket furthermore comprises a locking hook for the bulb. Application: socket for type T20 blinking indicator lights or side lights.

Abstract: A computer-implemented system of passenger oriented seating allocation proposes seats to passengers based on both a passenger and an airline's ranking of seating criteria. The system may assign a numerical weight to each seating criteria based on the passenger and the airline's ranking of the seating criteria, and a seating generation module may generate a seat based on these numerical weights. The system may also generate affinity links between passengers, which may be utilized to integrate personal passenger-oriented and professional information of a passenger to be utilized during the seating allocation process to take into account passengers' preferences in being seated next to people with whom they may be interested.

Abstract: Disclosed are reactive cyclic carbonates and ureas of formula (I) or (II), wherein R and X have the meaning indicated in the description. Said carbonates and ureas allow functional groups to be specifically introduced into biomolecules, polymers, and surfaces in mild conditions.
