Abstract: Compounds of formula (1): wherein R1 represents a —C(R2)(R3)—[C(R4)(R5)]m-L-R6 group or —R7; and the preparation and the therapeutic uses of the compounds of formula (1) as agonists of TRPM8 receptors, useful especially in the treatment of oropharyngeal dysphagia.

Abstract: An assembly includes a first part made of composite material including a polymer matrix and a second part made of metal. The two parts are assembled by opposite or assembly faces along an interface subjected to shear loads. The first part is made of a composite having continuous reinforcing fibers in a thermoplastic matrix. The second part includes, on its assembly face, a coupling form having a plurality of patterns. Each pattern has a closed contour in a plane parallel to the assembly face of the second part and extends along a direction normal to the assembly face of the second part. A method for making such an assembly is also provided.

Abstract: The invention concerns a device for automatic surface inspection of an unwinding strip to detect surface defects, comprising at least a camera (10) whereof the optical axis is directed towards the surface to be inspected and forming on said surface a transverse line of sight (L) and at least an illuminating system (15) whereof the incident rays (Ri) are directed towards the transverse tranline of sight and distributed over the entire length of said line. At each point of the transverse line of sight, the observation direction of the camera (10) forms with the specular reflected ray at said point a constant angle.
