  • Patent number: 12275521
    Abstract: Double-curved aircraft door having a pair of stops in contact over a contact area. The isobarycentre (31A) of each contact area of a first lateral edge is substantially arranged in a first plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (21) and the same applies to a second lateral edge. For each contact area, the normal to the contact area passing through its isobarycentre (31A, 31B) substantially passes through the axis (41) of a medium cylinder (42). For each contact area, the normal to the contact area passing through its isobarycentre (31A, 31B) forms a deflection angle with a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis (21), the deflection angles of all the contact areas being equal.

  • Publication number: 20250056083
    Abstract: Approaches for rendering video stream and audio corresponding to a media stream from amongst a plurality of media streams are described. In one example, a plurality of media streams comprising a video stream and an audio may be obtained at a media processing system, which may then be combined to generate a mosaiced media stream. The mosaiced media stream may then be encoded to obtain an encoded stream. Thereafter, the encoded stream may be caused to transmit to a receiver system. The receiver system, on receiving the encoded stream, may decode the encoded stream to obtain the mosaiced media stream. Thereafter, the mosaiced media stream may be deconstructed to retrieve each of the plurality of media streams. Thereafter, video stream and audio corresponding to one of the media streams may be caused to render on a video display system.

  • Publication number: 20240426027
    Abstract: A method for preparing cellulose dope from textile waste including cellulose fibers in a mass percentage of more than 50%. The method includes shredding the textile waste in order to obtain a first mixture of shredded fibers and residues, separating at least a portion of the non-cellulosic components from the first mixture in order to obtain a second mixture in which the mass percentage of cellulose fibers is greater than the mass percentage of cellulose fibers in the first mixture, filtering the second mixture in order to recover a solid phase including the cellulose fibers, dissolving the cellulose fibers of the solid phase so as to obtain a cellulose dope including undissolved particles, and filtering the cellulose dope in order to obtain a cellulose dope that is separated from the undissolved particles.

  • Publication number: 20240229347
    Abstract: A manufacturing method for functionalized dyed textile, where the textile is preferably a textile or a knit, including the following steps: getting a dyed textile having a majority by mass of natural fibers, preferably cellulose fibers; bleaching of the dyed textile in order to get a bleached dyed textile whose dye has not been altered; and chemical functionalizing of the bleached dyed textile in order to get a hydrophobic dyed textile, where the functionalization has an increased attachment to the dyed textile because of the prior bleaching. Also, a functionalized dyed textile and the use of a bleaching solution for increasing the hold on the dyed textile of the chemical functionalization.
