Abstract: A method of performing communication between a satellite and a ground segment, the satellite comprising a platform and a payload, the ground segment includes at least one satellite control center configured to generate or process data associated with the satellite platform, the satellite control center directly communicating with the satellite platform on a dedicated channel, referred to as platform channel, wherein the method comprises a step of directly communicating, between the mission control center and an on board processing unit which is configured to manage at least a part of the payload of the satellite, telecommand or telemetry data of the part of the payload of the satellite, on another dedicated channel, referred to as signalling channel, the signalling channel and the platform channel being distinct.

Abstract: A construction and demolition bar and associated methods of use are shown. In one example, a construction and demolition bar is shown that includes a pulling fork located at an end of an arced portion. In one example the pulling fork is oriented at substantially 90 degrees from a rotation plane defined by the bar and the arced portion. In one example, a notch of the pulling fork is within a width of the arced portion, to provide stable pulling force for removing fasteners.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for collecting faeces and contaminated products. The inventive device comprises a re-usable rod (1) and a disposable capsule (2). The rod (1) comprises three concentric tubes, namely: an outer tube (7), an intermediate tube (8) and an inner tube (9), a handle (3) being fixed to the upper end of the outer tube (7). Moreover, an opening lever (4) is articulated to the handle and is connected to the intermediate tube (8) by means of a sliding bushing (5). The lower end of the rod (1) is equipped with two rakes (16) which are articulated to the intermediate tube (8) and which pass through two diametrical slots (15) belonging to an end piece (14) which is solidly connected to the outer tube (7). The aforementioned disposable capsule (2) is formed by two valves (19, 19?) having housings (20) on the side faces thereof, said housings being intended for the elastic reception of corresponding flaps (18) which are disposed on the arms (17) of the rakes (16).

Abstract: Phosphorylated glucomannan polysaccharide compositions are shown to effectively enhance healthy immune function. Dosage forms including pills, sprays, functional foods and cosmetics may achieve this benefit while being essentially free of storage protein from nongerminated seeds of Ricinus communis.
