  • Publication number: 20110233445
    Abstract: This valve (100) comprises: a body (101); a first channel (III) for channelling the flow of a fluid; a second channel (112) for channelling the flow of a fluid; a first valving element (130) which is movable translationally in a first direction (X112), between an open position and closed position of the or each first channel (111), the body (101) fouling a first seat (123) for the first valving element (130); and a second valving element (130) which is movable translationally in a second direction (X112), between an open position and a closed position of the or each second channel (112); the first direction (X112) and the second direction (X112) being parallel or coinciding with each other. The first valving element (130) defines a housing (140) for the second valving element (130). The first valving element (130) forms a second seat (136) for the second valving element (130).

  • Publication number: 20100139865
    Abstract: A lay-up head receives a prepreg bonded to a support tape, and the prepreg is separated from its support tape by peeling, by means of a separator just upstream of a depositing member for depositing the prepreg tape on a deposition tool; the head includes, downstream of the separator, a retractable device for moving the prepreg away from the support tape, allowing the prepreg to be moved away just upstream of the separator, by means of which the prepreg can be separated earlier when the retractable device is activated.

  • Patent number: 6712285
    Abstract: This station (10) comprises at least two areas (11, 12) for cleaning/filling a reservoir, each adapted to receive a sub-assembly (7) formed by a reservoir (8) and a sprayer (9) while this sub-assembly (7) is disconnected from the robot. A device or devices (51, 52) for cleaning and/or filling the reservoir and/or the sprayer in each of these areas are provided, while these areas (11, 12) are adapted to be brought (F2, F3) into a position of connection of a sub-assembly (7), disposed in one (11) of them with the cleaning and/or filling device or devices (51, 52). The process consists, inter alia, in positioning (F6) a coating product supply unit (52), in a position of connection with the first sub-assembly (7) received in an area (11) of the station (10) of cleaning/filling.

  • Patent number: 5818542
    Abstract: Image data is processed in the form of digitized frames on a video clip. A first clip is received in combination with a second clip. Frames are alternately supplied from each of said clips to a real time rendering device configured to produce a viewable composited clip at video rate. By making use of a rendering engine primarily designed for rendering synthesized images, it is possible to view many video effects, such as dissolves and wipes, in real time.
