Abstract: An aircraft landing gear is disclosed including a main leg, a foldable stay and a lock link configured to hold the foldable stay in position when the landing gear is extended. The foldable stay includes a first stay member and a second stay member, and the landing gear is configured such that the second stay member rotates in a first direction from a first position to a second position as the landing gear moves from a retracted configuration to an extended configuration. An end stop is arranged such that in the event the lock link fails, the second stay member rotates in the first direction from the second position to a third position in which the stay contacts the end stop thereby preventing further movement of the second stay member in the first direction and wherein the foldable stay goes over centre as the second stay member moves from the first position to the third position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a detector cell comprising tunnel-effect superconductive devices organized in a two-dimensional array and placed on a common substrate, each superconductive device comprising a tunnel-effect superconductive junction and being electrically connected to a bottom connection area and to a top connection area. The superconductive devices are separated from one another by trenches extending down to and including the bottom connection area and defining individual bottom connection areas disposed between each of said junctions and the substrate. At least one individual bottom connection area is electrically connected to at least one bottom connection area of an adjacent superconductive device by a localized bridge region.
