Abstract: Heat sources such as electronic components are distributed in accordance with a given cartography within a box essentially constituted by a rigid structure made from a thermally insulating material. In order to ensure the thermal stabilization of these sources, they are contacted with implants mounted on the internal surface of the box and for certain of them with inserts which are themselves in thermal contact with external radiators. The implants, inserts and radiators are made from thermally conductive materials.

Abstract: There is provided a process for providing a metal connector fixed to a pipe of composite material and a pipe thus made.A pipe carries at one of its extremities a metal connector, and a first film of elastomer being interposed between the two and adhering to each of them an adhesive. At the level of this extremity, the pipe also carries a metal casing which is held solidly on the connector by a band and a second film of an elastomer which is interposed between the casing and the pipe and adheres by means of an adhesive to each of them.The pipes according to the invention are suitable for use in offshore oil exploration.
