  • Publication number: 20050097440
    Abstract: A scalable and reliable collaborative software application that provides an information hub that serves as a single portal to using applications in an aggregated, collaborative manner, thereby eliminating the need for constant transmission/reception of information to achieve collaboration, is presented. The present invention creates a portal for all entities, and enables access, storage, sharing, and response to related information from anywhere at anytime on any access unit in a collaborative and collective methodology. The present invention also provides object-based security and object-based threaded discussion sessions for all objects generated by the various applications.

  • Patent number: 5086541
    Abstract: In order to connect two adjacent elements (E1,E2) joined, for example, onto a satellite solar panel, an antifriction joint (10) is used. The deployment kinematics of the joint enable deployment to be done extremely accurately. The joint comprises two braces (12,14) suitable for rolling one onto the other by two cylindrical surfaces (12a,14a). Guiding of rolling is ensured by two flexible members, such as rolling plates (16,28) extremities are secured to the braces and which pass by crossing between the cylindrical surfaces (12a,14a). A traction prestressing stored in the plates avoids any stray movement between the braces, especially at the time of deployment. The drive torque ensuring the automatic deployment of the joint and its end-of-travel locking are ensured by elastic bands (36) connecting the two braces and each formed of two superimposed plates. Successive joints may be joined using a synchronization deployment mechanism.

  • Patent number: 4625933
    Abstract: The invention relates to a process and device for regulating at any instant the speed of a mobile member, such as a pulley, moving in a stroke of determined uniform direction, by employing a fluid passing under pressure through an orifice of restricted section. According to the invention, said pressurized fluid is made to pass several times alternately in one direction and in the other through said orifice, during said stroke of determined uniform direction. The invention is more particularly applicable to the deployment of appendices mounted on board space vessels.
