Abstract: The technical field of the invention is that of needleless syringes used for intradermal, subcutaneous or intramuscular injections of active principle for therapeutic purposes. More particularly, the invention concerns a needleless syringe (10) comprising a propelling system, the active principle and an application guide (8), mainly characterised in that the propelling system consists of an impact wave generating device (3) and the active principle is arranged in at least a blind cavity (7) of the downstream surface (6) of a barrier (4) extended by the application guide (8). Thus, the active principle is expelled in the form of streamlined jets, driven at very high speed.

Abstract: A system for monitoring and obtaining readings of parameters of a flowable medium within a system of conduits. At least one primary flow element is located at a predetermined position in a conduit system, wherein at least one primary flow element provides an interface for obtaining at least one flow parameter of a flowable medium within the conduit system. At least one signal processing and data transfer unit is comprised of a sensor operatively connected to the at least one primary flow element for converting readings from the at least one primary flow element to an analog electrical signal. It also includes an analog to digital converter receptively connected to the sensor for converting the analog signal received from the sensor to a digital signal. A transmission unit is connected to the analog to digital converter for transmitting the digital signal upon activation of a data transfer surface of the transmission unit.

Abstract: A satellite embodying at least one surface intended mainly for exposure to solar radiation and extending away from the satellite in a predetermined direction (Y), an on board computer having connected thereto an attitude sensing system, an orbit control system for imparting thrust to the satellite along predetermined axes, and an attitude control system. The satellite further embodies a device for controlling the tilt of the surface in parallel with a plurality of planes containing the predetermined direction; and, therefore, particularly in parallel with the plane of a solar panel forming the surface. The tilt control device is controlled by the on-board computer. The tilting can generate a moment of pitch or relocate the center of gravity onto the axis of the orbit control system.

Abstract: The process according to the invention involves using an infiltration technique with a binder metal 16 in a layer filled with grains of melted tungsten carbide 15, the layer being arranged between the walls of a mould 13 and a core 2, the walls of the mould being made of foundry sand bonded by resins. The invention makes it possible to reduce the cost of the infiltration process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the manufacture of abrasion-proof plates. The abrasion-proof surface of the plate is composed of external face 5 of a layer of composite material based on spherical grains of melted tungsten carbide bonded in a soldering alloy. Grinding surface 5 has a smooth and even mould finish. The abrasion-proof layer contains a compact, regular and essentially uniform random distribution of tungsten carbide grains. Surface 5 is made by moulding: the tungsten carbide grains are inserted between the mould walls and core 2 of the part, and the soldering alloy is made to infiltrate between the powder grains, core 2 and the mould by increasing the temperature. The invention allows a significant increase in the abrasion resistance of grinding plates.

Abstract: A method and device are provided for producing refractory materials by induction, in which process a mixture of material powders and a binder in solution in water are compacted by extrusion so as to form a solid bar. The bar is introduced into a cold crucible and is caused to melt by magnetic induction. The molten material flows through a lower orifice of the crucible. The invention applies more particularly to the melting of tungsten carbide.

Abstract: A motorized moving device is provided of the type comprising a chassis equipped for receiving a person or an object to be transported and an axle mounted for pivoting on the chassis in the lower region thereof, the axle comprising, fixed to each of its ends, a frame which pivotally supports at least three wheels, a first reversible drive means adapted for rotating the axle and second reversible drive wheel for selectively rotating the wheels independently of the rotation of said axle, wherein said first drive means drives said frame through hollow outer shafts integral with said frame and said second drive wheel drives said wheels through inner shafts which are coaxial with and are pivotally received in said outer shafts.

Abstract: The method used in whole or in part, accelerated but unvulcanized rubber. Forming is done by injection, preserving the properties of plasticity and adhesive power of the rubber, after unmolding and before any vulcanization. The blanks and intermediate products thus fabricated are capable of being integrated, by subsequent successive operations of any type, into more complex assemblies. This method is especially useful in the manufacture of an assembly of a tire bead and an unvulcanized rubber filler strip wherein the filler strip is injected onto the bead to form the assembly.
