Abstract: A process for providing a computer service via a search engine of the Internet to a user who has made a request for service via a terminal (TU) and an implementing system includes steps for creating executable tutorials, for searching by the search engine (MR) at least one tutorial (TE) in an executable format corresponding to the requested service, for automatic executing of the at least one tutorial that is found that makes it possible to provide the requested service, and for returning the result that is obtained to the terminal of the user (TU). The process applies to the use of computer tools such as software.

Abstract: A computer device comprises a processor, a memory, and an operating system kernel. The kernel comprises instructions for managing the execution of processes and for allocating memory to such processes. The device is able to execute stored applications that can be broken down into processes. The device comprises a special instruction sequence able to create an inactive process with reservation of a certain quantity of memory, and an application launcher, arranged in such a manner as to remove the inactive process, thus freeing up the reserved memory, which is followed consecutively by commanding the launch of at least one particular application. The memory reserved beforehand is thus made quickly available for execution of the particular application.

Abstract: The invention concerns a protective headgear comprising a respirator (2) capable of being connected to a breathing mixture source, an eye protecting shield (5) and first (32) and second (56) lock elements, respectively located on the respirator (2) and on the shield (6) and adapted to co-operate with each other to secure the shield (6) to the respirator (2), when the respirator is in its use position on the user's face, the first (32) and second (56) lock elements being adapted to be mutually engaged and interlocked by a movement bringing the shield (6) closer to the respirator (2), from above.

Abstract: A storage case for aircraft flight personnel's goggles is provided. The storage case has a case bottom and two doors. Each door has a closure adapted to maintain the goggles in the case between the case bottom and the doors.

Abstract: A breathing gas feed assembly for the flight crew of an airplane comprises an emergency breathing mask and a stowage box for the mask. The box is adapted to receive the mask diagonally and it is closed by two doors hinged about respective hinge axes situated on two adjacent edges of the box.

Abstract: The invention relates to a return device for returning a valve of an internal combustion engine, the device comprising: a piston secured to said valve and mounted to slide in a cylinder; a pressurized fluid feed connected to said cylinder via a feed channel; and a pressure relief valve connected to said cylinder via a discharge channel and arranged to limit the pressure prevailing in the cylinder to a predetermined maximum pressure; and means for regulating the maximum pressure as a function of the feed pressure using an affine-type relationship. The invention also relates to an internal combustion engine equipped with such a device.

Abstract: The demand regulator has a duct communicating a pressurized breathing gas admission with a tube connected to the inside of a breathing mask. Dilution air may be added to the breathing gas. A breathe-out valve opens from the tube to atmosphere. A manual control member has a normal position causing operation without an over pressure above atmosphere and with dilution and an emergency position causing the tube to be fed with pure breathing gas (typically oxygen) at high pressure. Operation with over pressure gas feed is prevented mechanically or pneumatically so long as the mask is being stored.

Abstract: The invention concerns a storage case (1) for aircraft flight personnel's goggles (2), with a case bottom (3) and two doors (4, 5). Each door (4, 5) comprises closure means (13) adapted to maintain the goggles in the case (1) between the case bottom (3) and the doors (4, 5).

Abstract: Individual respiratory gas supply device comprising a respiratory mask and a facial respirator of the cannula or respiratory flexible oro-nasal shell type for comfortably supplying a subject with respiratory gas during a high-altitude flight. The respiratory mask and the facial respirator are adapted so that in the event of de-pressurization or the presence of toxic gases, the subject equips himself with the respiratory mask possibly after having previously removed the facial respirator. Switching means make it possible to cut off the oxygen supply of the facial respirator and dispense oxygen to the regulator when the subject is equipped with the respiratory mask.

Abstract: A breathing apparatus for an aircraft crew member has a breathing mask provided with a demand regulator and connected to a source of breathing gas, such as a pressurized oxygen cylinder or preferably an OBOGS. The apparatus includes an individual buffer plenum specific to the mask on a line for feeding the regulator of the mask from the source. The volume of the plenum is sufficient to provide for at least two typical breaths of the mask wearer in succession. A non-return check valve is located between the plenum and the source.
