  • Patent number: 5331251
    Abstract: A device for automatically correcting the elevation angle of at least one vehicle headlight during changes in the attitude of said vehicle, the device being of the type comprising at least two lighting sensors integrated in the headlight and constrained to move therewith, the two sensors being disposed to detect the brightness of the road in the field of illumination of the headlight in two different directions at two predetermined angles relative to a reference direction of said headlight, an actuator suitable for varying the angle of inclination of the headlight relative to the vehicle, and processor means suitable for generating an actuator control signal as a function of the signals delivered by the sensors which are essentially proportional to the quantity of light that each of them receives.

  • Patent number: 4480586
    Abstract: The disclosure describes a chamber for use in immunizing chickens or the like fowls by treating them with a vaccine which is sprayed in the chamber. Inside an enclosure where the chickens are loaded, there is created a continuous flow of air into which is sprayed a vaccine. A deflector cone is used to make sure that the vaccine-loaded flow of air circulates uniformly throughout the enclosure. Furthermore, the pressure inside the enclosure is maintained negative, i.e. it is at a lower level than the outside atmosphere, to make sure that viral particles do not leak outside the vaccination chamber. Finally, means are provided for flushing the chamber and a system such as a filter or/and an incinerator or the like is used to prevent the escape of viral particles to the outside atmosphere. Vaccination with this chamber is safe, economical and does not pollute the environment.
