  • Publication number: 20220281623
    Abstract: Modular armor for a hard upper torso (HUT) of an atmospheric suit that maintains a specific atmosphere within the suit includes a first outer layer including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface and a second outer layer including a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface. A core is sandwiched between the first surface of the first outer layer and the first surface of the second outer layer. The armor is fabricated such that the second surface of the first outer layer is conformally affixed to the HUT.

  • Publication number: 20150271934
    Abstract: A moveable rotating electrical box assembly, which adheres to a wall that provides a housing for standard electrical outlet (prior art), GFCI electrical outlet (prior art) and other various prior art electrical outlet types. The electrical outlet box housing is connected to a tubular wire housing by a rotating collar. The rotating collar allows the electrical box to rotate in a desired orientation. The tubular wire housing extends towards an existing outlet. The tubular wire housing flanges at the end closest to an existing outlet to accommodate a rotating plug (prior art).

  • Patent number: 8948763
    Abstract: A method is provided for allocating at least one access point to a mobile terminal in a cellular network formed by multiple cells each controlled by an access point, wherein the mobile terminals move about. The method includes the following steps: locating a mobile terminal inside a current cell; identifying, using the locating, a target cell with which the terminal is likely to be connected; transmitting in advance to the terminal a target context, comprising at least one identifier of the access point of the target cell; implementing a procedure for connecting said terminal to the access point of the target cell, based on predetermined cell modification criterion.

  • Patent number: 7506496
    Abstract: An aerodynamic injection system for injecting an air/fuel mixture into a turbomachine combustion chamber comprises a tubular structure of axis XX? that opens out at a downstream end for delivering the air/fuel mixture, at least one air feed channel that opens out into the structure so as to introduce air at a pressure PA therein, an annular fuel passage that is formed in the structure around its axis XX?, that is connected to at least one fuel feed channel in which there flows fuel at a pressure PC, and that opens out at a downstream end into the structure, and means for injecting gas into the at least one fuel feed channel, said gas being at a pressure PG that is greater than PA and greater than or equal to PC so as to create effervescence in the fuel on being introduced into the structure.

  • Publication number: 20080047684
    Abstract: Apparatus for abstracting heat comprises a container charged with a first liquid and with small auxiliary containers free to circulate in the first liquid. Each of the small auxiliary containers is charged with a second liquid. The first and second liquids each have a selected temperature of transformation that facilitates use of the apparatus to heat or cool a substance contacted by the apparatus.

  • Publication number: 20070169486
    Abstract: A fuel injector comprises a peripheral atomisation system having a plurality of fuel ejection orifices distributed at regular intervals along the circumference and an annular air eddy deflector, comprising air ejection channels such that, for each fuel ejection axis defined by an ejection orifice, there is a corresponding air ejection channel of which at least the radially most internal part has a median substantially intersecting this fuel ejection axis.

  • Publication number: 20060059915
    Abstract: A fuel injector for an aero-mechanical injection system for injecting an air/fuel mixture into a turbomachine combustion chamber, the injector comprising a main tubular structure of axis XX? opening out at a downstream end for delivering the air/fuel mixture, a tubular fuel duct that is disposed inside the main structure and that opens out into the main structure via a fuel atomizer plug so as to introduce fuel into the main structure at a pressure PC into the main structure, at least one air feed channel that opens out into the main structure so as to introduce air at a pressure PA therein, and means for injecting into the fuel duct a gas at a pressure PG that is greater than PA and greater than or equal to PC so as to create effervescence in the fuel on being introduced into the main structure.
