Abstract: A motor vehicle includes: a front section comprising a front chassis, and an engine; and a rear section comprising a rear chassis, rear chassis beams connected by cross bars. The motor vehicle is manufactured by a method including a step of connecting the rear chassis to the front chassis. To achieve a relatively light yet strong motor vehicle, left and right of the rear chassis, the cross bars are provided with side profiles, said side profiles comprising an outer first profile section comprising at least one longitudinally extending angled edge.

Abstract: The invention relates to a brachytherapy applicator device for insertion in a body cavity. The applicator device comprises an applicator shaped for insertion in the body cavity; the applicator comprising connectable segments; at least one connectable part having a form following wall surface shaped to follow the body cavity, the wall surface having a multichannel groove structure, so as to guide a plurality of catheters along the grooves in the groove structure along the wall surface.

Abstract: The invention relates to the preparation of a partially vulcanized, pre-shaped rubber composition and use thereof as a component of an article of manufacture. In practice, the partially vulcanized rubber composition is adhered to an unvulcanized rubber substrate to form a composite thereof and the resulting composite vulcanized to create an article of manufacture. Such pre-vulcanized rubber composition is a composite comprised of at least one diene-based elastomer, amorphous silica, coupling agent and liquid diene-based polymer. Such partially vulcanized, pre-shaped rubber composition may be a component of a tire such as, for example, an apex, sidewall insert or tread. It may also be a component of an industrial rubber product such as, for example, a component of a conveyor belt, power transmission belt or a hose.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the precise positioning of a body exhibiting a flat face, said latter requiring to be aligned, or in other words brought into coincidence with a mechanically indexed reference plane. The loading device in accordance with the invention comprises a levelling stage associated with a loading flap which can pivot about an axis. The stage comprises a base containing a cylindrical bore, and a lockable supporting stand equipped with a spherical-walled sleeve located in said cylindrical bore. The flap and the stage are equipped with mechanical indexing means which cooperate with those defining the reference plane.

Abstract: The invention relates to the positioning of an object comprising at least two fixed reference marks in an optical projection system. The system according to the invention comprises two projector arms illuminating two regions of the surface of the object through two marks, which form a reference system, having a variable inter-axis interval, display means enabling coincidence between the reference marks of the object and the reference system to be established.

Abstract: The system according to the invention comprises means for displacing the lens and the object enabling magnification and focusing to be adjusted in dependence upon the lens used and co-operating with servocontrol means for the position of the lens which provide for automatic focusing while keeping magnification constant.

Abstract: Cartridge cases of the type which receive powder, a wadding and shot pellets are comprised of thermoplastic material and have a metal head. The head is joined to the plastic case body in an operation wherein heat and pressure are applied to cause the plastic material to flow both outwardly into the interior of a rim portion of the metal head and also inwardly into an annular recess defined in part by an internal reinforcing section of the case body. The reinforcing section of the case body may be either integral with or separable from the remainder of the cylindrically shaped case and the cylindrical portion of the case is provided with an extension which is deformed, by the application of heat and pressure during the manufacturing process, to form the element which locks the head to the plastic body.

Abstract: A device for the attenuation of the noise emitted by a jet pipe of a jet ine and especially a composite jet pipe of an aircraft jet engine, by pinching of the jet with the aid of opposite panels causing spreading of the jet in one plane, so that a silencer effect is manifested in this plane, these panels being in a retracted position at rest, wherein the pinching of the jet is adapted to be effected in at least one lateral part of the jet with the aid of at least one pair of mutually facing panel elements situated on either side of the plane of spread of the jet.

Abstract: A method for the attenuation of the noise emitted by a main exhaust nozzle f a jet engine, wherein an auxiliary exhaust nozzle adapted to emit less noise than the main nozzle is associated with said main nozzle and is located to the side of the main nozzle, in the direction in which it is desired to attenuate the noise of the main nozzle.

Abstract: A flat rectangular workpiece, such as a photographic plate in a photo-repeating apparatus designed to produce integrated-circuit masks, laterally overhangs a platform of a carriage which is slidable on a mobile supporting table. The platform has two end stops and a side stop defining the relative position of the workpiece thereon, the overhanging edges of the workpiece entering between upper and lower jaws of three grippers -- one on one side and two on the other -- when the carriage is slid into a working position. The lower gripper jaws, constituted by spring-loaded plungers normally held down by suction, are then released to lift the workpiece off the platform while clamping it against the overlying upper jaws.
