Patent number: 11417893Abstract: A method for upgrading used or rejected electric battery cells, which include upgradable compounds, such as iron, zinc, manganese, copper, and fixed and volatile carbon, and heavy metals and dangerous compounds. The used or rejected battery cells are introduced as a load into a furnace for melting metal, such as a cupola furnace, a free arc furnace, or an induction furnace. A device for purifying gases produced by the furnace and for capturing and removing noxious elements, such as mercury, chlorides, and fluorides, and heavy molecules such as dioxins, furans, and aromatic substances, is provided in a discharge route of the hot gases, downstream from the melting furnace.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2013Date of Patent: August 16, 2022Assignees: FIDAY GESTION, ECO'RINGInventors: Lionel Picard, Jean-Pierre Garnier

Publication number: 20050260134Abstract: A process, system, and kit for evaluating the relief of the skin using a substrate with an adhesive surface. The process includes the steps of applying the substrate onto a test zone of the skin so that the adhesive surface is in contact with the skin at contact locations; removing the substrate; and evaluating the image formed on the adhesive surface. The image results from the modification of the adhesive surface at the contact locations. In a preferred embodiment, the adhesive surface, when applied to the skin, is not in appreciable contact with the sunken zones of the skin, such as the wrinkles or lines.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 21, 2003Publication date: November 24, 2005Applicant: L'OREALInventor: Pierre Garnier

Patent number: 6566163Abstract: The invention concerns a method of making contactless smart cards. To facilitate the fixing of an integrated circuit chip in a contactless smart card, and in particular the chip connection with the antenna incorporated in the card, the method consists in soldering on the chip contact pads a gold wire with at least one end projecting above the chip. The wire is preferably soldered while the chip is still part of a semiconductor wafer. The wire can be soldered between two contact pads on a common chip; it can also be soldered between two contact pads of two adjacent chips on the wafer and then sawed during dicing. When the chip is incorporated in the card, it is pressed against the antenna so that the soldered wire is in contact with the coiled or printed antenna feeder end.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 1999Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: GemplusInventors: Damien Laroche, Pierre Garnier
