Abstract: The present invention relates to an alpine ski including a tip zone located at the front of the ski, a waist zone, and a tail zone located at the rear of the ski, a median longitudinal plane extending from the front end to the rear end of the ski, an underside formed by a gliding sole bordered by edges, a zone for mounting a boot. The alpine ski further defined by a radius of curvature measured along the sidecut of the alpine ski.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to improvements in the Dinucleotide signaTurE CapTure (DTECT) method. The improved detection of a dinucleotide sequence in a target polynucleotide generally involves the steps of Acu1 digestion, heat inactivation and ligation to unique adaptors containing overhangs of two bases complementary to the dinucleotide signature.

Abstract: Alpine ski comprising a tip zone located at the front of the ski, a waist zone, and a tail zone located at the rear of the ski, a median longitudinal plane extending from the front end to the rear end of the ski, an underside formed by a gliding sole bordered by edges, a zone for mounting a boot, the middle of which, in the longitudinal direction, is located at a mid-shoe line (MC), and having a sidecut with: a front contact line (PA) defined as the line of contact between the gliding sole and a horizontal surface against which the sole is pressed when the waist is loaded, which is located furthest forward; a rear contact line (PB) defined as the line of contact between the gliding sole and said horizontal surface, which is located furthest back; a line of greater front width (PI) located at or further forward than the front contact line (PA); a line of greater rear width (PII), located at or more rear than the rear contact line (PB); a zone of minimum width (PIII) located in the waist zone, said sidecut havi

Abstract: A slide board for use on snow has a point of maximum width located beyond the contact line. The board includes a core extending over the greater part of the board, and a plurality of mechanical reinforcement layers lying directly or indirectly on the core, extending inside the board upturn beyond the contact line. The reinforcement layers are inclusive of that part of the board comprising the longitudinal axis. At least one of the reinforcement layers has an extreme longitudinal point offset transversely relative to the longitudinal axis of the board and, in a zone defined between the contact line and the point of maximum width, the reinforcement layer has an overall cross-section which decreases between the contact line and the point of maximum width. The reinforcement layers have extreme longitudinal points offset longitudinally relative to each other.

Abstract: Slide board for use on snow having in proximity to one of its front and/or rear ends, a point of maximum width located beyond the front and/or rear contact line, beyond which the board upturn is defined, said board comprising an internal structure including: a core extending over the greater part of the board; and at least one mechanical reinforcement layer lying directly or indirectly on said core, extending inside the board upturn beyond the front and/or rear contact line, wherein at least one of the reinforcement layers has an extreme longitudinal point located at an intermediate level between the contact line and the extreme point of the board upturn, and wherein in a zone defined between the contact line and the point of maximum width, said reinforcement layer has a total cross-section, measured in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the board, which decreases overall moving towards the extreme point of the board upturn.

Abstract: Alpine ski comprising a front area known as the tip area (2), a rear area known as the tail area (4), and an intermediate area known as the mid-section (3) designed to receive a stop (12) and a heelpiece (13) comprising the binding of the boot of a skier. In this ski, the rigidity, namely the resistance to flexing in the lengthwise direction of the ski, of the center part of the mid-section (3) is less than the rigidity in the two end parts of the mid-section (3), namely the parts that connect with the front (2) and rear (4) areas.

Abstract: Alpine ski has a boot middle point mark indicating a position of a middle of a boot and is equipped with a mounting platform comprising front, central and rear zones. The platform rests on the ski via three feet situated respectively in front, central and rear zones of the platform. The height measured between the lower face of each foot and the upper face of the platform is a minimum for the central foot. The platform is anchored by screws to inhibit sliding in at least the front and central zones. An anchoring point situated in the central zone is positioned in front of the boot middle point and is separated longitudinally by a distance of between 150 and 300 millimeters. Further included is a block of elastic material inserted between a front end of the platform and a stop in front of the platform. The block is compressible during movement of the platform relative to the upper face of the ski, due to bending of the ski.

Abstract: The inventive balloon comprises an inflatable pocket (2) and an end piece (4) provided with an opening (6) that enables the pocket (2) to be inflated. An elastic buckle-shaped fastener (10) is fixed onto the end piece (4).

Abstract: Raising device for fitting onto the upper face of a board for gliding, comprising a platform capable of receiving the elements of a binding, which includes at least one piece forming a slide capable of being secured to the board, and comprising:

Abstract: Alpine ski having a mark (9) termed “boot middle point” indicating the position of the middle of the boot, and equipped with a mounting platform (2) comprising front (8), central (7) and rear (6) zones, characterized in that:
