  • Patent number: 11939774
    Abstract: A device for securing a panel in a groove is provided. The securing device includes a cradle housed in the groove comprising a sole bearing on the bottom of the groove and a vertical outer flange interposed transversely between an outer face of the panel and a face of the groove; a first upper wedge which is interposed between a fixed upper ramp of the groove and an inner face of the panel; and a second lower wedge which is interposed transversely between a fixed lower ramp of the groove and the inner face of the panel. The lower ramp is carried by an inner vertical flange of the cradle.

  • Patent number: 11939775
    Abstract: The invention relates to an arrangement for securing a vertical panel (14) in a longitudinal groove (28), the panel (14) comprising an inner face (20) and an outer face (22), the securing being carried out by transverse clamping between transversely opposed wedges (36A, 36B; 38A, 38B), the arrangement comprising: an upper outer wedge (38A) and a lower outer wedge (38B) which are each positioned between an outer face (34) of the groove (28) and the outer vertical face (22) of the panel (14); at least two movable transmission members (62A, 62B) which are each capable of transmitting a sliding force to an associated outer wedge (38A, 38B), the force being applied from an inner side (24) of the panel (14); the arrangement is characterized in that the upper and lower outer wedges (38A, 38B) slide vertically upwards from the released position thereof to the clamped position thereof above the released position.

  • Patent number: 10914812
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for locating sources emitting electromagnetic pulses, each source belonging to a carrier platform, the method comprising the following steps: receiving, by a detector, for each source to be located, at least one same emitted pulse, received directly and received by reflection on the carrier platform of another source, measuring the arrival direction, the arrival date and at least one invariant characteristic of each received pulse. The method further comprises the following steps: grouping together a first pair of pulses and a second pair of pulses, calculating the difference of dates of arrival between the pulses of each pair, determining the direction and the distance of each source from the detector from calculated differences of dates of arrival of the pulses of each pair.

  • Patent number: 10859688
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for locating at least two sources emitting electromagnetic pulses in an environment comprising two reflectors. The method comprises receiving, by a detector, for each source to be located, at least one same emitted pulse, received directly from said source and received by reflection on one of the reflectors. The method further comprises: identification of the pulses received directly and the pulses received by reflection, grouping by pairs of pulses received directly with pulses received by reflection, calculating, for each pair, the difference between the date of arrival of the pulse received by reflection relative to the date of arrival of the pulse received directly, and determining the distance of each source from the detector from calculated differences in dates of arrival.

  • Patent number: 10768269
    Abstract: Methods for locating electromagnetic pulse emission sources in an environment including reflectors is disclosed. In one aspect, the method includes receiving, by a detector, for each source to be located, at least one same emitted pulse, received directly from said source and received by reflection on one of the reflectors. The method also includes identifying direct subsets and reflected subsets, regrouping by pairs of direct subsets with reflected subsets, calculating, for each pair, differences in dates of arrival between the pulses of the reflected subset and the pulses of the direct subset of the pair, and determining the distance of each source from the detector from calculated differences in dates of arrival of the pulses of each pair.
