Abstract: Methods, apparatuses and systems for radio frequency identification (RFID)-enabled information collection are disclosed, including an enclosure, a collector coupled to the enclosure, an interrogator, a processor, and one or more RFID field sensors, each having an individual identification, disposed within the enclosure. In operation, the interrogator transmits an incident signal to the collector, causing the collector to generate an electromagnetic field within the enclosure. The electromagnetic field is affected by one or more influences. RFID sensors respond to the electromagnetic field by transmitting reflected signals containing the individual identifications of the responding RFID sensors to the interrogator. The interrogator receives the reflected signals, measures one or more returned signal strength indications (“RSSI”) of the reflected signals and sends the RSSI measurements and identification of the responding RFID sensors to the processor to determine one or more facts about the influences.

Abstract: A dual-flow turbomachine generally includes a cooling and turbine clearance control system located in a primary air flow path of the turbomachine, supplied a scoop configured to take air from a secondary air flow path arranged around the primary air flow path through an air inlet of the scoop, where the scoop may further include one wall configured to be arranged in the extension of a wall of the secondary flow path, and further where the air inlet may be formed in and flush with the wall.

Abstract: An air bleed device for an aircraft engine, including a frame and a flap able to rotate about an axis in relation to the frame, the device further including a return system configured to bias the flap in a determined position about the axis and including a torsion spring, a first end of which is connected to the flap and a second end of which is connected to the frame. The second end is connected to the frame by adjusting the preload of the spring by screwing when the flap is in the determined position.

Abstract: The invention concerns a sensor for direct measurement of electromagnetic power, comprising a guiding structure (2) for bringing the power, a dissipative charge (3) and a thermometer. The invention is characterized in that the charge (3) and the thermometer are formed by a single element.

Abstract: A straw for storing a biological liquid such as animal semen, the straw comprising a fine tube open at both ends and closed by a plug engaged in one of said ends, said plug being formed by a powder suitable for transforming, on contact with the liquid, into a paste that is impermeable and leakproof, which powder is interposed between an external wad and an internal wad of a fiber material that is permeable to air and to liquids. The length of the external wad is at least twice as long as the length of the internal wad.
