Abstract: A system and method for a scaffold deck with a fall arrest assembly is disclosed. The fall arrest assembly comprises a deck structure (102) and a rail assembly (122) for permitting an individual to tie-off in a manner that permits the individual with a range of motion along the deck structure. The fall arrest assembly further includes an uplift hook mechanism (120) connected to or otherwise installed on the deck structure such that the uplift hook mechanism is employed for both securing the deck structure to and releasing the deck structure from at least one supporting member. A plurality of deck hooks (118) connectable to or otherwise installed on the decking structure for connecting the decking structure to the supporting member is additionally provided. A deck latch assembly located connected to the uplift hook mechanism additionally facilitates connection of the deck structure to a second deck structure.

Abstract: This acquisition method is provided for acquiring a satellite signal emitted by a radio navigation satellite, the satellite signal containing a cyclic pseudo-random identification code specific to the satellite. The acquisition method includes the generation of a local code producing a replica of the identification code, and the production of a combined correlation (EDDC) of a received signal with the local code, the combined correlation corresponding to the linear combination of a first double delta correlation and of a second narrow correlation.

Abstract: A device for adjusting the length of a flexible link according to the pulling force exerted on the link, the continuous link passing through the device between two substantially opposite input/output ends of the device. The device includes elements for producing at least one link loop whose extent can vary according to the pulling force, at least one return element tending to increase the extent of the loop up to a predefined maximum in the absence of pulling force on the link and which corresponds to a reduction of the apparent length of the link on which the device is placed, the pulling force of the link resulting in a reduction of the extent of the loop up to a predefined minimum and which corresponds to an elongation of the apparent length of the link on which the device is placed. Devices with S loop or omega loop are described together with a comfort unit for a strap harness.
