Abstract: Disclosed is a method for collecting at least one product from among a line of products arriving in a lined-up fashion one behind the other on a conveyor. The conveyor has a path, for conveying the products, and a conveying direction. The method uses at least one collector of at least one product. The collector includes at least one first receptacle capable of accommodating at least one product. The collector is movably mounted along the path for conveying the products in the conveying direction and in the opposite direction. The method includes at least one first step for collecting the at least one product in the at least one receptacle by moving the at least one collector over the conveyor on the conveying path and in the conveying direction.

Abstract: A positioning device (1) for positioning products (2) simultaneously with their conveyance one after the other in a plane of conveyance (3) and along a direction of conveyance (4). The device has at least one orientation mechanism (5), itself having at least one pusher (6) movable along an action movement between an inactive position and an active position. The effect of the action movement is to act on a product (2) by pushing it to make it pivot by a predetermined angle around an axis perpendicular to the plane of conveyance (3), the at least one pusher (6) being movable also in the direction of conveyance (4). Also disclosed is a corresponding method.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for grouping together products that arrive in line and are spaced apart from each other on an infeed conveyor (2), consisting of: collecting the products on the fly by means of a pair of collectors (4) that move transversely relative to the products on said conveyor (2); moving the products collected by collector (4A) to a removal station (11) and, at the same time, replacing said collector (4A) with the second collector (4B) that, in turn, collects the products; and dropping off the products from collector (4A) to the removal station (11) and bringing said collector (4A) back to a collecting position while intersecting collector (4B).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a sliding bearing shell comprising an oil bore (16) which radially penetrates the sliding bearing shell for introducing oil in the sliding bearing shell, wherein one or more collecting grooves (18), which extend on the inner side (14) of the sliding bearing shell (10) in the circumferential direction, are provided for collecting the oil present in the sliding bearing shell, the grooves being surrounded completely and all the way around by a supporting surface (20).

Abstract: A secure device includes a non volatile memory and a secure storage unit for a contactless reader. The storage unit manages logical sectors comprising a preset number of 16-byte data blocks and provides secured access to these data blocks. The unit is a software agent. The secure device comprises a microprocessor able to run the secure storage unit. The unit is adapted to ensure consistency of the data blocks and to ensure a preset number of writing into the data blocks without erasing operations.

Abstract: The invention relates to a machine for forming groups of products that arrive in a line, separated on a feeding conveyor (2), which includes vertically separated collectors (4) connected to chutes (8) that are arranged transversely relative to the feeding axis, said chutes (8) each comprising a mobile carriage (7) that supports a collector (4) by means of an actuator (11), said carriages (7) and actuators (11) being vertically adjacent and controlled by a programmable automaton (17) suitable for controlling the cyclic polygonal movement of each collector (4). The means for controlling the collectors (4) offer the possibility of organizing the capture of the products and, in particular, of selecting a number of collectors (4) suited to the group forming rates and/or the type of products (1) to be formed into groups.

Abstract: The invention relates to a semi-annular sliding bearing shell comprising two circumferential end sections (14, 16) and a radial inner face (10) along which a sliding surface (12) lies. Said bearing shell also comprises grooves (18) which are formed on the inner face (10) in the region of at least one of the end sections (14, 16), which run in the circumferential direction, and which are separated in the axial direction. The grooves (18) run inwards on the circumferential end (16, 18) of the sliding bearing shell beginning in the circumferential direction with a decreasing width B and with a decreasing depth T. A groove (18) lies on the exterior of each side in the axial direction, said groove intersecting the corresponding axial edge (24, 26) of the sliding surface.

Abstract: The invention concerns the isolation of nucleotide and peptide sequences in particular for differentiating, in diagnostic terms, an immunisation resulting from BCG vaccination of an infection by M. tuberculosis. Said sequences are either M. bovis BCG/M. bovis specific or M. tuberculosis specific. The invention also concerns a method for detecting said sequences, a method for detecting antibodies generated by the products expressing said sequences as well as kits for implementing said methods. Finally, the invention concerns novel vaccines.

Abstract: A method for shaping at least one cardboard cut-out between an inlet position and an outlet position of a shaping station. The method includes a step of using shaping tools on the cardboard cut-out, the tools reciprocatingly moving on either side of the cut-out between a shaping position and a retracted position. The method involves moving the cardboard cut-out by the tools between the inlet position and the outlet position of the shaping station while the cardboard cut-out is being shaped by the tools.
