Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for determining positions by an optronic system in a scene, the scene comprising reference elements of known geographic coordinates, the optronic system comprising the following elements integrated into said optronic system: a. a digital imager, b. a memory wherein is stored, for each reference element of the scene, an indicator representative of said point associated with the geographic coordinates of said point, c. a display element that displays the indicators stored in the memory, d. a measurement module comprising at least one element chosen from among: a compass, a goniometer and a telemeter, e. a calculation unit, the method being implemented by the elements integrated in the optronic system.

Abstract: The invention relates to a white-water river, comprising a river bed capable of guiding a current of water between an upper inlet of the bed and a lower outlet of the bed, and including water-feeding means for injecting a stream of water at the upper inlet of the bed. The river bed is made up of a series of individual bed modules, adjacent to one another, and assembled via respective transverse contact surfaces. The individual bed modules are supported via a lower surface by a modular lattice bearing structure.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cosmetic or dermatological article comprising: a medium in the form of at least one sheet of a material that is soluble in water at a temperature lower than 20° C.; and at least one cosmetic or dermatological compound carried by the medium.

Abstract: The invention relates to a packaged article comprising: an article having an outer surface and an inner surface, wherein said inner surface defines a cavity for receiving an appendage of a user, a package surrounding said article; a seam which closes both said package and said cavity of said article, wherein opening of said seam opens both said package and said cavity of said article.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a substantially dry cosmetic article for dyeing keratin materials, comprising a porous flexible substrate, and at least one direct dyes and/or direct dye precursor in powder form, which are capable of dyeing the keratin material via heat transfer, the substrate and the direct dyes or direct dye precursors being non-covalently bonded to the substrate. Disclosed herein is also a method for dyeing keratin materials, for example, human keratin materials, via dry heat transfer, using the dry heat-transfer cosmetic article.

Abstract: The present patent application relates to a single-use cosmetic article containing a water-insoluble substrate impregnated with an aqueous cosmetic composition, said substrate being permeable and containing at least a first group of fibers and at least a second group of fibers whose hydrophilicity is different from that of the fibers of the first group. The first and second groups of fibers are arranged such that a first face of the substrate has a hydrophilicity substantially greater than the hydrophilicity of a second face of the substrate, opposite the first face.

Abstract: An applicator including at least one tube with at least one plug of a liquid or a powder inside the tube. At least a first substance is contained in an inside space of the tube, with the space defined at a first end by the liquid or powder plug. The plug is arranged, in use, to be expelled together with the first substance when it leaves the inside space of the tube. The applicator further includes at least one second substance different from the first substance and dissociated therefrom prior to use. Kit or packaging arrangements are also provided for containing one or more of the applicators.

Abstract: An analyte-taking device includes a tube provided at one end with an analyte-taking element; a plug inside the tube; and at least one liquid contained in an inside space of the tube separated from the analyte-taking element by the plug. The plug can be arranged, in use, to be expelled together with the liquid when the liquid leaves the inside space of the tube. The liquid can be an analyte-taking liquid suitable for facilitating the taking of at least one analyte by the analyte-taking element. The liquid can also be a reagent suitable for producing an observable reaction in the presence of an analyte picked up by the analyte-taking element.
