  • Publication number: 20080196136
    Abstract: Laminated fabric panels and a method of assembling such panels. A garment, for example, is made of first and second parts assembled to one another by superimposing the first part and the second part so that their inner surfaces face one another; welding the two parts along a weld line; flattening the two parts, the weld line being arranged on the outer side; applying a reinforcement strip to the welding line on the outer side of the garment.

  • Publication number: 20070026186
    Abstract: A laminated fabric panel and a method of manufacturing such panel. Each fabric panel includes at least one fabric layer and at least one water-resistant protective layer fixed to the fabric layer. The method includes assembling the two laminated panels along a predetermined joining line; flattening the two panels; pre-positioning the panels on the joining line, by means of gluing, a sealing strip provided with an adhesive; subjecting the joining line to a temperature greater than that of the adhesive melting temperature, under a predetermined pressure for a predetermined length of time, so that at least a portion of the adhesive creeps in the interstices of the fabric fibers; and subjecting the joining line, at the end of the duration time, to an accelerated cooling by cold pressing, so as to congeal the adhesive.

  • Patent number: 4970520
    Abstract: A process for realigning telecommunication antennas with satellites wherein the radio-electric axis of reception of the antenna which receives a signal from the satellite is periodically modulated after which the received signal is multiplied by a sinusoidal signal of the same frequency and same phase as the periodic moudulation applied to the radio electric axis during reception of the signal and wherein thre multiplied signal is filtered to remove all frequencies equal to or higher than the frequency of the periodic modulation and thereafter the filtered signal as amplified in order to deduce the direction in which the antenna should be realigned and subsequently realigning the antenna by activation of the motor control mechanisms associated with the antenna.
